Abstract Woodflour/polypropylene composites were prepared with 10 and 20% in weight of woodflour (WF). The influence of the WF, the compatibilizer, and processing aid (WP) in the crystalline structure of the polypropylene was studied by thermal analysis. The results showed that the WF acts as a nucleating agent, incre…

We explore the extreme quantum limit of photogenerated electrons in quantum paraelectric SrTiO3. This regime is distinct from conventional semiconductors, due to the large electron effective mass and large dielectric constant. At low temperature, the magnetoresistance and Hall resistivity saturate at a high magnetic f…

Azobenzene-based photoswitchable compounds can be use to photocontrol a variety of biochemical systems. In some cases, their effectiveness may be limited by the size of the conformational change that the switch undergoes. To produce an azobenzene photoswitch that undergoes a large end-to-end distance change upon isome…
