Electrospinning has become a popular technique for fabricating nanofibers from a variety of materials and has been tailored for a multitude of applications. These nanofibers may be used as devices (e.g., biosensors, field effect transistors (FETs), and resonators) or may be used to fabricate nanoscale features in othe…

In a previous study, we established that the attraction between electrically charged particles attached to a water/tetradecane interface is stronger than predicted on the basis of the gravity-induced lateral capillary force. Here, our goal is to explain this effect. The investigated particles are hydrophobized glass s…

We present a muon spin rotation (μSR) study of the magnetic and superconducting properties of single crystals of electron-doped BaFe 2− x Co x As 2 with x = 0.08, 0.20 and 0.25 ( T c = 9, 25 and 20 K) and of polycrystalline hole-doped Pr 1− x Sr x FeAsO with x = 0 and 0.2 ( T c = 15 K). In the former series, we observ…

Dendritic nanomaterials are emerging as key building blocks for a variety of nanoscale materials and technologies. Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers were the first class of dendritic nanomaterials to be commercialized. Despite numerous investigations, the environmental fate, transport, and toxicity of PAMAM dendrime…

Abstract Experiments on a blow‐molding grade of polypropylene have been performed at 135°C using a biaxial testing machine. Both simultaneous and sequential equibiaxial tests were performed at strain rates relevant to solid phase processing regimes. A constitutive model has been developed that includes a single Eyring…

The Cahn-Hilliard equation is often used to describe evolution of phase boundaries in phase field models for multiphase fluids. In this paper, we compare the use of the Cahn-Hilliard equation (of a constant mobility) for the phase variable with that of the singular or modified Cahn-Hilliard equation (of a variable mob…

Thermal analysis has long been essential for designing reliable high-performance cost-effective integrated circuits (ICs). Increasing power densities are making this problem more important. Characterizing the thermal profile of an IC quickly enough to allow feedback on the thermal effects of tentative design changes i…

Comblike copolymers with randomly distributed polystyrene (PS) and polyisoprene (PI) branches, i.e., PCEVE- g -(PS,PI), were synthesized by the “grafting onto” technique. The comblike copolymers exhibit a low dispersity, high molar masses, and controlled number of branches. Their characteristics and behavior as isolat…

We report Zn-doping effect in the parent and F-doped LaFeAsO oxy-arsenides. Slight Zn doping in LaFe 1- x Zn x AsO drastically suppresses the resistivity anomaly around 150 K associated with the antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin density wave (SDW) in the parent compound.
