We study the mechanical properties of free-standing films of smectic liquid crystalline elastomers. Macroscopically ordered elastomer films of submicrometer thickness are prepared from freely suspended smectic A polymer films by photo crosslinking. The deformation characteristics depend criticically on the sample comp…
Nanophosphors of 5 mol% Eu-doped Y2O3 were fabricated using the combustion method. X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed a cubic structure for the synthesized samples. Based on the X-ray diffraction patterns, the average grain size of the samples was estimated to be in the nanometer range. Using an appropriate synthesi…
Abstract UV and visible Raman scattering spectra of a new superhard phase, cubic BC 2 N, were measured for the first time. The Raman band at 1326 cm −1 was attributed to the longitudinal optical (LO) mode of cubic BC 2 N, whereas the transverse optic (TO) mode is missing in the spectra. Raman scattering was found to b…
We study photoluminescence (PL) of ZnO-opal structures excited by a 351.1 nm laser line. The structures were fabricated by infiltration of ZnO from an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate into opal matrices. The emission spectrum of thick ZnO layers grown on the surface of bulk opals exhibits narrow PL bands associated wi…
Employing thermodynamical, optical and comprehensive dielectric studies, we have investigated a freshly synthesized chlorinated MHPOBC analogue antiferroelectric liquid crystal; it exhibits different chiral SmC sub-phases, viz. SmCα*, SmC* and SmCγ*, at considerably lower temperature in comparison with MHPOBC, and a w…
DFT calculations were driven for a set of differently charged polyoxoanions in the gas phase and in solution. We have calculated and analyzed their geometries and orbital energies to trace simple rules of behavior regarding the modeling of anions in isolated form. We discuss the quality of the results depending on the…
Phase separation kinetics of the off-critical mixture of polystyrene and poly(methylphenylsiloxane) is studied by the time-resolved light scattering and optical microscopy. The results from the light scattering experiments are correlated with the images obtained by the optical microscopic observation in order to find…
Abstract The purpose of this study was to enhance blood compatibility of polyethylene (PE) films. Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was grafted onto the surface of PE by Ar plasma pretreatment and UV‐induced graft polymerization without photo‐initiator, then heparin was immobilized onto the poly (glycidyl methacrylate) segm…
Composites were prepared from an aerosil and 4-n-alkyl-4′cyanobiphenyls with five to eight carbon atoms in the alkyl chain. Their high silica density of ∼7 g aerosil in 1 cm3 of liquid crystal (LC) allows the observation of the behaviour of a thin cyanobiphenyl layer (having nearly a monolayer structure) on the silica…
The electrochemical characteristics of single bcc phase Ti-30V-15Cr-15Mn alloy were investigated. It was demonstrated that the single bcc phase alloy has high electrochemical discharge performance at high temperature. Its discharge capacity is closely related with temperature and discharge current. The first discharge…
A series of bent-core V-shaped mesogens consisting of salicylaldimine mesogenic segments have been synthesized and their mesomorphic behaviour characterized. In an attempt to understand structure–property relationships, the lengths of the terminal alkoxy chains have been varied from C2 to C12, C16 and C18, resulting i…
The relaxation dynamics of a complex interacting system can be drastically changed when mixing with another component having different dynamics. In this work, we elucidate the effect of the less mobile guest ions on the dynamics of the more mobile host ions in mixed alkali glasses by molecular-dynamics (MD) simulation…
The thermotropic liquid crystalline behaviour of two N-alkylpyridinium tetrahalocuprates was investigated. The n-pentadecyl tetrachloro and tetrabromo derivatives (CU15-CL and CU15-BR, respectively) exhibit very similar behaviour on cooling, and specifically, a high temperature smectic phase followed by a cubic phase.…
Chain elongation suppression of cyclic block copolymers in microphase-separated bulk was determined quantitatively. Solvent-cast and annealed films are confirmed to show alternating lamellar structure and their microdomain spacing D increases with increasing total molecular weight M according to the relationship D pro…
We have carried out dielectric and Raman spectroscopy studies at the 298–623 K temperature range in polycrystalline Pb0.70Sr0.30TiO3 thin films grown by a soft chemical method. The diffuse phase-transition behavior of the thin films was observed by means of the dielectric constant versus temperature curves, which show…
Abstract The precision and accuracy of diffraction peak positions resolved from the powder X‐ray diffraction spectra of cotton fibers by means of the residuals peak‐fitting procedure of a commercial peak‐fitting software package (PeakFit®) was investigated to explore the potential of such programs in providing reliabl…
An actuating system composed of nafion ionomeric polymer coated with single-walled carbon nanotubes electrodes was studied as an electromechanical actuator. The actuator gives a sizable mechanical response to low voltages (turn-on voltage of approximately 2.5 V) under open-air conditions, i.e., in the absence of a sur…
We have carried out an experimental study on the mechanical relaxation of Langmuir films of a glass-forming polymer, poly-(4-hydroxystyrene), a good example of a two-dimensional system made of condensed polymer coils (at poor-solvent conditions). This study allows us to explore the response functions of the film and t…
Abstract Solution and radical polymerization of acrylamide in the presence of potassium persulfate in D 2 O was investigated up to high conversion by high‐field 1 H‐NMR spectroscopy. The kinetics of reaction was studied according to the data obtained from the corresponding spectra at various times during the polymeriz…
Exchange-coupled R2Fe14B/α-Fe (R=Nd or Pr) nanocomposite bulk magnets with nearly full density have been successfully produced by shock compaction of melt-spun powders. X-ray diffraction and transmission electronic microscopy analyses of the shock-consolidated compacts showed no grain growth upon compaction, in fact,…
