Abstract The differential reflection of p‐ and s‐polarized light by interfaces and thin films is central to the theory and applications of ellipsometry. It is also the basis of a wide variety of optical devices for the control and analysis of polarized light such as polarizers, polarizing and polarization‐preserving b…

We report the effect of stacking fault on the formation of the saw-teeth of ZnS nanosaws, which were synthesized by a hydrogen-assisted thermal evaporation method. The stem of ZnS nanosaw grows along the [101̅0] direction and possesses wurtzite (WZ) structure, while the saw-tooth grows along the [111] direction and po…

Highly functionalized fluorinated porphyrins were synthesized by a convergent strategy. Nucleophilic substitution using fluorinated branched unit and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin afforded highly functionalized fluorinated porphyrin 8 containing 24 fluorinated chains in the peripheral region.

A novel mechanism of carbon black network formation in a binary immiscible rubber blend has been proposed in this paper. The network formation implies that the specific rubber molecules are selectively confined into the void of carbon black aggregate structure during their solution mixing. The selective adsorption and…

Classically, there have been two different ways to obtain mean-field theories for liquid crystals. One is based on short-range repulsive steric forces and the other on long-range attractive dispersion forces. In the former approach, it is the anisotropic shape of the molecules that leads to the anisotropic interaction…

Abstract The adhesion properties, i.e. viscosity, tack, and peel strength of pressure‐sensitive adhesives prepared from natural rubber/epoxidized natural rubber blends were investigated using coumarone‐indene resin and toluene as the tackifier and solvent respectively. One grade of natural rubber (SMR 10) and two grad…

Surkhobite, a new mineral related to the members of the jinshajiangite-perraultite series, was approved in 2002 (IMA No. 2002-037) and later discredited (IMA decision 06-E). It is redefined here with a new formula and revalidated with the original name (IMA 07-A). It occurs as platy crystals up to 1 mm and grains up t…
