We study the irreversible adsorption of patchy particles on substrates in the limit of advective mass transport. Recent numerical results show that the interface roughening depends strongly on the particle attributes, such as, patch-patch correlations, bond flexibility and strength of the interactions, uncovering new…

The aim of this work was to use waste tire rubber (WTR) in the middle layer of hybrid plywood materials. The effects of four variable parameters, namely, WTR contents (430 and 720 g), resin contents (120 and 160 g/m2), hot pressing (single-stage and two-stage), and arrangements of veneer layers on the mechanical, phys…

Spray-assisted deposition of layer-by-layer (LbL) assemblies was originally developed to reduce the processing time of multilayer thin films. Despite being faster, spraying largely failed to convert dipping practitioners due to lack of consensus regarding the quality of spray-coated films. In an effort to allay this c…

Phase-change nanowires (NWs) have emerged as critical materials for fast-switching nonvolatile memory devices. In this study, we synthesized a series of mGeTe·Bi2Te3 (GBT) pseudobinary alloy NWs-Ge3Bi2Te6 (m = 3), Ge4Bi2Te7 (m = 4), Ge5Bi2Te8 (m = 5), Ge6Bi2Te9 (m = 6), and Ge8Bi2Te11 (m = 8)-and investigated their co…

We explore the influence of particle softness and internal structure on both the bulk and interfacial rheological properties of colloidal suspensions. We probe bulk stresses by conventional rheology, by measuring the flow curves, shear stress versus strain rate, for suspensions of soft, deformable microgel particles a…

The Si counterpart of graphene—silicene—has partially similar but also unique electronic properties that relate to the presence of an extended π electronic system, the flexible crystal structure and the large spin-orbit coupling. Driven by predictions for exceptional electronic properties like the presence of massless…
