The layered compound ${\mathrm{CePd}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}$ with the tetragonal ${\mathrm{ZrCuSi}}_{2}$-type structure was obtained from excess Bi flux. Magnetic susceptibility data of ${\mathrm{CePd}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}$ show an antiferromagnetic ordering below 6 K and are anisotropic…
We study the structural and thermodynamic properties of patchy particle liquids, with a special focus on the role of "color," i.e., specific interactions between individual patches. A possible experimental realization of such "chromatic" interactions is by decorating the particle patches with single-stranded DNA linke…
Nano drug delivery systems are considered as useful means to remedy the problems of drugs of poor solubility, permeability and bioavailability, which became one of the most troublesome questions of the pharmaceutical industry. Different types of nanosized drug delivery systems have been developed and investigated for…
Shock-induced freezing in liquids has long been a subject of interest as well as mystery. With large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that homogeneous crystal nucleation in liquid Cu can be realized under effective supercooling $(\ensuremath{\theta})$, via quasi-isentropic compression or ramp wave…
Complex metallic alloys having isolated transition-metal elements in the surface layer have been reported to work well as selective hydrogenation catalysts. We report an experimental determination of the surface structure of one such compound $\mathrm{A}{\mathrm{l}}_{13}\mathrm{F}{\mathrm{e}}_{4}(010)$. The structure…
iSpectra is an open source and system-independent toolbox for the analysis of spectral images (SIs) recorded on energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) systems attached to scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). The aim of iSpectra is to assign pixels with similar spectral content to phases, accompanied by cumulative phase…
This paper presents the processing of Nickel Titanium (NiTi) alloy from elemental powders of Nickel and Titanium by conventional powder metallurgy process. Two batches of feedstock containing 2 different formulations (1) Ti-50.4at% Ni and (2) Ti-50.8at% Ni were prepared. The feedstocks for each composition were warm-p…
The purpose of this study was to determine the tensile properties of biodegradable Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) impregnated with commercial grade starch succinate (SS). PVA is a hydrophilic and hygroscopic polymer, and inclusion of SS reduces PVA's hygroscopicity and hydrophilicity. The compounding of PVA with SS was prepa…
Surface-modified colloidal silica (M-CS) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized from colloidal silica (CS) and methyltrimethoxysilane using sol–gel method and characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. Both CS and M-CS were then incorporated into acrylic adhesives. M-CS particles in 2-ethoxyethanol…
Epoxidized vegetable oils based thermoset materials are widely used to develop biopolymers and to replace the fossil-fuel based polymers. In this paper, a blend of epoxy resin and epoxidized palm oil (EPO) were prepared and characterized by direct and pre-mixed methods to investigate its mechanical properties. For dir…
Since the dawn of human civilization, there has been a demand for materials that include ceramics, metals, and polymers. Increasing demand as well as the need for enhanced performance has driven material scientists to research metal-containing polymers as complements of these materials. Consequently, metal-containing…
The paper presents the co-crystal screening study of carbamazepine (CBZ) and ibuprofen (IBU) as a co-crystal former (CCF) using non-stoichiometric (solid addition of CBZ to saturated solution of co-crystal former (CCF) and stoichiometric (1:1 mol of CBZ and CCF) methods. In the non-stoichiometric method, CBZ-IBU co-cr…
The chemistry of polyoxometalates (POMs) keeps drawing the attention of researchers, since they constitute a family of discrete molecular entities whose features may be easily modulated. Often considered soluble molecular oxide analogues, POMs possess enormous potential due to a myriad of choices concerning size, shap…
Hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene bound 2,2-methylenebis (4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) (HTPB–IPDI–MPH) was prepared by binding 2,2-methylenebis (4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) (MPH) onto hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) as bridging agent. The structure of HTPB–IPDI–MPH was ch…
Improved surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements of a flowing aqueous sample are accomplished by combining line focus optics with sheath-flow SERS detection. The straightforward introduction of a cylindrical lens into the optical path of the Raman excitation laser increases the efficiency of SERS detecti…
The transmission of electrons with incident energies of 300, 500, and 800 eV through insulating polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nanocapillaries for small tilt angles near 0\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} was studied. The exiting electrons showed elastic and inelastic behaviors with the inelasticity increasing wit…
Anisotropic strain relaxation and the resulting degree of polarization of photoluminescence (PL) in nonpolar a-plane textured ZnO are experimentally and theoretically studied. A thicker nonpolar a-plane textured ZnO film enhances the anisotropic in-plane strain relaxation, resulting in a larger degree of polarization…
The low degradability behaviour of plastics is an important environmental problem. The end-use of plastic creates waste-disposal problems as these plastics do not readily or naturally degrade and gives severe effect when plastic-waste requires more time to break down. However, as the bio-polymer industries have advanc…
Here, we propose a hybrid approach to uniquely determine the elements of the circuit analogue of the terahertz metamaterial absorber that we previously reported. The proposed method is based on calculations, fitting, and physical mechanism of the absorption process interpreted by the model. In this work, the correlati…
A simple method for designing and calculating grating optical filters with angular-selective light transmission is presented. The selectivity is provided by the relative positions of two surface gratings formed by directionally transmissive strips, alternating with absorptive, reflective, or scattering strips. As the…
