Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), TEMPO-pretreated MFC, and hybrid polymer/MFC mix were used for the production of layered films with interesting properties for application in food packaging. The series of samples were prepared from MFC (base layers) using a dispersion-casting method. The same procedure as well as a b…

No single material or materials system today is a clear choice for photoelectrochemical electrode applications. Generally, materials with narrow, well-aligned band gaps are unstable in solution and stable materials have band gaps that are too wide to efficiently absorb sunlight. Here, we demonstrate the narrowing of t…

Self-assembly of an achiral [Cu(L)] complex produced a homochiral helical chain [Cu(L)](3)·2H(2)O (1) (L = 2-dimethylaminoethyl(oxamato)). Interestingly, complex 1 obtained in our laboratory exhibits only a left-handed helical chain without any chiral source. Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed the absolute structu…

Molecular dynamics simulations using quantum mechanics for the electronic system, i.e., within the Born-Oppenheimer or related Car-Parrinello approximation, became feasible and popular in recent years for very large systems. The most common setup for these simulations is the supercell method in conjunction with the Γ-…

We investigate the surface-directed phase separation of spin-coated polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS/PMMA) blends on prepatterned octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS)-glass substrates under various experimental conditions. As a result of tandem processes of spinodal decomposition and selective wetting of polymer co…

The theoretically predicted optimum length/breadth/width ratio for maximizing shape biaxiality was investigated experimentally by the facile and successful synthesis of cross-shaped compound 3, which showed enantiomeric nematic phase behavior. This cross-like core structure could alternatively be viewed as two fused V…

We consider a free energy, within the framework of the Onsager approximation, for a spatially and orientationally inhomogeneous distribution of hard rods confined on a spherical surface. These rods interact with each other though the excluded-volume interaction, forming a textured nematic structure on the spherical su…

In this paper, we study the resonant responses of an impact oscillator with a one sided SMA motion constraint operating in the pseudoelastic regime. The effectiveness of the SMA restraint in suppressing nonlinear resonances of the impact oscillator is assessed by comparing the dynamic responses of the impact oscillato…

Sustained electrochemical oscillations at p-type Si(100) in a dilute ammonium fluoride electrolyte are investigated by means of ellipsometric intensity and hydrogen measurements. Two main types of oscillations are identified, one with a low and one with a high current amplitude. It is demonstrated that the low-current…
