Abstract In the present study two series of isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/SiO 2 nanocomposites containing 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 wt % SiO 2 nanoparticles were prepared by melt‐mixing on a twin‐screw corotating extruder. In the first series untreated fumed silica nanoparticles were used, whereas in the second nanoparti…
Marine mussels anchor to a variety of surfaces in turbulent intertidal zones through the use of adhesive plaques formed from hardened mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs). It is believed that 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) imparts both water-resistant adhesive characteristics and rapid curing ability to MAPs. In this pa…
Neutron diffraction measurements under high magnetic fields have been performed for the multiferroic compound HoMn$_{2}$O$_{5}$. At zero field, high-temperature incommensurate magnetic (HT-ICM) -- commensurate magnetic (CM) -- low-temperature incommensurate magnetic (LT-ICM) orders occur with decreasing temperature, w…
The dynamics of a rotating elastic filament is investigated using Stokesian simulations. The filament, straight and tilted with respect to its rotation axis for small driving torques, undergoes at a critical torque a strongly discontinuous shape bifurcation to a helical state. It induces a substantial forward propulsi…
We independently determine the subpicosecond cooling rates for holes and electrons in CdSe quantum dots. Time-resolved luminescence and terahertz spectroscopy reveal that the rate of hole cooling, following photoexcitation of the quantum dots, depends critically on the electron excess energy. This constitutes the firs…
Despite the long history of the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, carbon monoxide has proven remarkably resistant to selective homologation under mild conditions. Here, we find that an organouranium(III) complex induces efficient reductive trimerization of carbon monoxide at room temperature and pressure. The result is a tria…
Phase change materials based on chalcogenide alloys play an important role in optical and electrical memory devices. Both applications rely on the reversible phase transition of these alloys between amorphous and metastable cubic states. However, their atomic arrangements are not yet clear, which results in the unknow…
A general problem in particle-based modeling is one of showing the various configurations which emerge from simulations. A particular problem is to determine the local coordination, distinguishing fcc, hcp, bcc, and other relatively close-packed structures. Here we describe an approach to this problem, which attempts…
A novel high surface area heterogeneous catalyst based on solution phase colloidal nanoparticle chemistry has been developed. Monodisperse platinum nanoparticles of 1.7-7.1 nm have been synthesized by alcohol reduction methods and incorporated into mesoporous SBA-15 silica during hydrothermal synthesis. Characterizati…
The absorption spectra of undoped Y2SiO5 crystals were studied before and after γ-irradiation. After γ-irradiation, the additional absorption peaks at 260-270 and 320nm were observed in as-grown and H2-annealed Y2SiO5 crystal, but it did not occur in air-annealed Y2SiO5 crystal. These absorption peaks were attributed…
Abstract Summary: The crack toughness behaviour of binary styrene‐butadiene (SB) triblock copolymer blends of a thermoplastic block copolymer (LN3) and a thermoplastic elastomer (LN4) with different molecular architecture was studied using essential work of fracture (EWF) concept and was correlated to the morphologica…
A study of growth of barium hydrogen phosphate (BaHPO4) crystal from solution is reported. The raw materials of barium hydrogen phosphate were successfully synthesized through chemical reaction in water. The solubility in HCl and H3PO4 solution were studied. It increased when acid concentration and temperature become…
The reaction of C2 with growing single-wall carbon nanotubes of different chiralities is investigated using density functional theory. It is found that the energy of the frontier orbitals for (5,5) and (6,6) armchair carbon nanotubes exhibits periodic behavior with an increasing number of carbon atoms in the nanotube.…
Local symmetry and structure of protonated Li x Mn 2 O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) spinels were systematically investigated using a first-principles method. Introduction of protons into Li x Mn 2 O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) spinels does not change the basic Mn−O framework, whereas the local symmetry is broken. Every proton, which prefers to re…
Sputtered Ta films (60 nm) were deposited at room temperature onto selected substrates, including silicon, SiO2, porous methyl silsesquioxane (porous MSQ), parylene-N (Pa-N) caulked porous MSQ, benzocyclobutene (BCB), and SiLK layers. It was observed that the Ta structure after deposition mainly depends on the underla…
Abstract Summary: Well‐defined flexible, annealed, and quenched polyelectrolytes with two cationic sites per monomeric unit are synthesized. The synthetic scheme involves the synthesis of narrowly distributed poly( p ‐ tert ‐butoxystyrene) precursors by anionic polymerization high vacuum techniques, hydrolysis to poly…
The crystal chemistry of Rb-Cs boroleucites has been studied by means of X-ray powder diffraction at room and elevated temperatures. The cubic I-43d → cubic Ia3d phase transition was investigated using a series of samples prepared by solid-state reaction along the pseudobinary system RbBSi2O6 - CsBSi2O6. The Rietveld…
An unidirectional 60mm diameter benzophenone single crystal was successfully grown by utilizing a novel crystal growth method at room temperature. <110> oriented single crystal ingots were grown out of xylene as solvent and by fixing a seed at the bottom of the ampoule. The obtained benzophenone ingots with the sizes…
On short time scales an underlying Arrhenius temperature dependence of the diffusion constant can be extracted from the fragile, super-Arrhenius diffusion of a binary Lennard-Jones mixture. This Arrhenius diffusion is related to the true super-Arrhenius behavior by a factor that depends on the average angle between st…
The mutual transposition of the core and the shell of a Au@Pt core-shell nanosphere has been obtained by employing picosecond laser pulses to excite the surface-plasmon resonances of platinum. The thermalized energy of the plasmon resonances makes the core metal of the gold melt earlier than the shell metal of platinu…
