A PTFE latex, with particles in the submicrometer size range, was employed as seed in the emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of two mixtures of acrylic and methacrylic comonomers to obtain PTFE-based core−soft shell nanoparticles. Stable latexes were obtained. By appropriately choosing the ratio between the com…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx by NH<sub>3</sub> is under intensive development as a technology to enable diesel engines to meet stringent NOx emission regulations. Cu/zeolite SCR catalysts are leading candidates because of their ability to catalyze NOx red…
Boron (B) doping into nanocrystalline-silicon (nc-Si) particles was achieved by cosputtering of Si chips/B chips/silica disk targets and subsequent annealing at 1100 °C. The average diameter of B-doped particles was less than 4.3 nm, and the content of B was about 14.3 at. %. The observation of EELS spectrum of B-K ed…
Abstract In this research report, we explore the emerging field of stable pentaorganosilicates, with the aim to show the development from transient species to stable and configurationally rigid analogues that may find application e.g. as novel chiral auxiliaries or in chiral ionic liquids.
This article reports the covalent capture of self-assembled gel-phase materials using alkene metathesis. Gels assembled from a gelator functionalized with peripheral alkene groups were reacted with Grubbs' second generation catalyst, added as a solution to the top of the gel and allowed to diffuse into the material fo…
A crystalline all-oxide microelectromechanical system is presented. A suspended SrTiO3(001) cantilever is employed as flexible substrate for the deposition of epitaxial transition-metal oxide films. A strain generator device for oxide films is thus demonstrated, changing the conductivity of an overgrown epitaxial (La,…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The pursuit of improved fuel economy is becoming an increasingly important objective for automotive manufacturers. The field of thermo-electrics is highlighted as a promising technology. The figure of merit, Z is the primary measure of the effectiveness of a thermo-electric materi…
A possible path for fabricating three-dimensional metamaterials with curved geometries at optical and infrared frequencies is to stack flexible metamaterial layers. We have fabricated highly uniform metamaterials at terahertz frequencies on large-area, low-stress, free-standing 1 μm thick silicon nitride membranes. Th…
Abstract Carbon black (N‐330), organically modified nanoclay (NC) based ternary, particulate nanocomposites comprising of epoxidized natural rubber matrix having 25 mol% of epoxy group (ENR‐25) were prepared in an open two‐roll mill. Investigations of cure characteristics, dynamic mechanical, tensile, thermal, and mor…
We report results of extensive experimental and numerical studies of the anisotropy of water drops deposited on single rectangular posts of mesoscopic size sculpted on different materials. Drops of different volume deposited on the top face of the posts assume an elongated shape along the post direction. Systematic in…
The author proposes the methodology of transformation optics in orthogonal coordinates to obtain the material parameters of the transformation media from the mapping in orthogonal coordinates.Several examples are given to show the applications of such a methodology by using the full-wave simulations.
A simple novel method for preparing multiwalled carbon nanotubes/montmorillonite (MWNTs/MMT) hybrids has been established through mixing pristine MWNTs in MMT aqueous dispersion. The principle of this method is based on the formation of stable dispersion containing both MWNTs and MMT in water, which results from stron…
Graphene research is probably one of the fastest growing fields in condensed matter physics. The material is one atom thick, albeit it can be seen with an ordinary optical microscope [1] (see Fig. It has the properties of a good metal, although its electronic properties do not fit the standard theory of metals because…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The regulated emissions of NO<sub>x</sub> and particulates from diesel engines are low enough that in many cases the emissions levels cannot be met by system architectures based on improved in-cylinder combustion technologies alone. Some of the emissions reduction has…
Gold nanorod (AuNR)-assisted photothermal therapy has emerged as a viable method for selective killing of cancer cells and shows promise for tumor destruction in vivo. This study examined the distribution of AuNR conversion expected to occur during photothermal therapy in vivo. Tissue-like phantoms were prepared with…
Spin-charge-lattice coupling mediated by multimagnon processes is demonstrated in multiferroic BiFeO3. Experimental evidence of two- and three-magnon excitations as well as multimagnon coupling at electronic energy scales and high temperatures are reported. Temperature dependent Raman experiments show up to five reson…
We present a method of self-assembly of densely packed and aligned bilayer ZnO nanorod arrays in a hydrothermal synthesis process. The alkali hydrothermal environment first induced the growth of hydrotalcitelike zincowoodwardite plates, which provide a lattice-matched surface for the self-assembly of ZnO nanorod array…
Highly transparent zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire networks have been used as the active material in thin film transistors (TFTs) and complementary inverter devices. A systematic study on a range of networks of variable density and TFT channel length was performed. ZnO nanowire networks provide a less lithographically inten…
Abstract This study investigated durability performance of wood‐plastic composites (WPCs) that were exposed to accelerated cycling of water immersion followed by freeze thaw (FT). The WPCs used in this study were made of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) with radiata pine ( Pinus radiata ) wood fl…
In this work, we prepared a three-dimensional vanadium octacyanoniobate-based magnet, K(0.10)V(II)(0.54)V(III)(1.24)[Nb(IV)(CN)(8)].(SO(4))(0.45).6.8H(2)O. This compound exhibits ferrimagnetism with a Curie temperature of 138 K, in which the sublattice magnetizations of V(II) (S = (3)/(2)) and V(III) (S = 1) are antip…
