The geometry, vibrational frequencies and stability of the structural isomers of small gallium nitride clusters (n = 2–4) have been investigated using density functional theory. The lowest energy structures are cyclic. The ground electronic state of the cyclic forms for n > 2 is the singlet state. All of the cyclic st…

A polymeric precursor method was used to synthesis PbTiO3 amorphous thin film processed at low temperature. The luminescence spectra of PbTiO3 amorphous thin films at room temperature revealed an intense single-emission band in the visible region. The visible emission band was found to be dependent on the thermal trea…

The π-conjugated polymer poly(p-diethynylbenzene) (PDEB) has potential applications in electronics and optics; however, its poor solubility and processability have limited its usefulness. The new synthesis reported here makes use of a novel nickel catalyst, and gives rise to PDEB with good solubility and excellent the…

Polypropylene (PP) was functionalized with acrylic acid (AA) and styrene (st) as a comonomer by means of a radical-initiated melt-grafting reaction. FTIR, ESCA, and 1H-NMR spectroscopies were used to characterize the formation of polypropylene grafted with acrylic acid (PP-g-AA) and polypropylene grafted with acrylic…

The atomistic simulation of properties and phenomena in solid materials requires a suitable model of the real system with a number of atoms which is still manageable at the chosen level of approximation. Since typical solids consist of atoms in the order of 1023, only a very small fraction of them can be treated expli…

Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer functionalized with mercapto groups (EVALSH) has been used as compatibilizing agent in nitrile rubber/EVA blends. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the system were measured as a function of the EVALSH content and blend composition. The compatibilization affects the…

A mechanism of light emission from a single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) was formulated by assuming that the source for the light emission is bremsstrahlung in partially ionized gases. This emission mechanism turns out to be same as the black body radiation with finite absorption, which confirms that the principal m…
