Abstract Plasma‐activated biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films and paper substrate have been coated with functional chitosan solutions. Plasma treatment increased the amount of surface peroxide groups and carboxyl groups on the BOPP films. As a result of plasma activation, the surface energy increased from 30…

Wet‐jet‐milled alumina slurries exhibited distinctly different stability behavior compared with ball‐milled ones in terms of reflocculent efficiency and rheological properties. The distinction was attributed to the different behavior of the same dispersant (NH 4 + salt of poly(acrylic acid); PAA–NH 4 + ) in ball milli…

Ultrafine ZrB 2 –SiC composite powders have been synthesized in situ using carbothermal reduction reactions via the sol–gel method at 1500°C for 1 h. The powders synthesized had a relatively smaller average crystallite size (<200 nm), a larger specific surface area (∼20 m 2 /g), and a lower oxygen content (∼1.0 wt…

Abstract The thermal degradation behavior of meta- and para-aramid fibers (PMIA and PPTA) in different atmospheres was studied by thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TGA-DTA/MS). The process of mass loss in the degradation of PMIA was divided into three steps in both argon and air. The mass loss…

Abstract Rigid monoliths were prepared from concentrated oil in water (O/W) emulsions by a base‐catalyzed polycondensation reaction of 2‐nitroresorcinol with cyanuric chloride. Mercury intrusion/extrusion porosimetry confirmed that the obtained monoliths were porous with an open porosity. However, scanning electron mi…

The authors demonstrate amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from quaterthiophene single crystals and study its behavior at low temperature. The room temperature photoluminescence exhibits line narrowing (spectral width down to 10nm) at 553nm for excitation fluence larger than 1mJcm−2. At low temperature (10K), ASE is…

We investigate numerically the effect of an applied electric field on the physics of cholesteric cubic blue phases. The full hydrodynamic equations of motion are solved via a lattice Boltzmann algorithm which leads to an exact minimisation of the Landau-de Gennes free energy in steady state. This technique is able to…

The temperature–field phase diagrams are discussed within the Landau theory for perovskite-type ferroelectrics, which undergo successive transitions of first order. The sequences of the cubic–tetragonal–orthorhombic–rhombohedral phases and the cubic–rhombohedral–orthorhombic–tetragonal phases are considered, and the f…
