Abstract SiC/Si 3 N 4 composite was pressureless sintered using self‐propagating high‐temperature combustion synthesis α‐Si 3 N 4 powder and appropriate amount of β‐SiC powder. Both of the sintering additive systems were used, which were YAN (Y 2 O 3 –Al 2 O 3 –AlN) and YN (Y 2 O 3 –AlN). The influences of β‐SiC conte…

A number of sufficiently small peptides have been shown to integrate into polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers in accordance with their amphiphilicity and ordered structure. Those results have suggested that responsive drug delivery systems based on peptide-loaded PEO layers can be controlled by modulation of solutio…

ABSTRACT Strain-induced crystallization of carbon black-filled natural rubber is investigated by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) during in situ fatigue tests using synchrotron radiation. Thanks to an original experimental method, we measure the evolution with the number of cycles of: (i) the index of crystallinity…

The article discusses the dynamics of photoinduced defect creations (PDC) in amorphous chalcogenides, which is described by the stretched exponential function (SEF), while the well known photodarkening (PD) and photoinduced volume expansion (PVE) are governed only by the exponential function. It is shown that the expo…

In this work, chitosan and blends of chitosan-starch beads were prepared and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (pentane-1,5-dial). The blends were prepared with 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 chitosan-starch ratios. Metformin hydrochloride (N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide hydrochloride), a type 2 diabetis drug, was incorporat…

Syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) occupies a peculiar position among crystalline polymers: it forms co-crystals with many different kinds of chemical compounds, where the molecules are confined as guests in the regularly arranged cavities surrounded by the side phenyl groups. The guest molecules can be replaced smoothly…

The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state is examined in quasi-one-dimensional s-wave and d-wave superconductors with particular attention paid to the effect of the Fermi-surface anisotropy. The upper critical field $H_{c2}(T)$ is found to exhibit a qualitatively different behavior depending on the ratio of th…

Recent results have shown the appearance of induced cooperative motions called dynamic heterogeneity during the isomerization of diluted azobenzene molecules in a host glass-former. In this paper, we raise the issue of the coupling between these "artificial" heterogeneities and the isomerization period. How do these i…
