Abstract The degree of compatibilization between natural rubber (NR) and acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber (NBR) was investigated by two different methods. NBR was chemically modified with maleic anhydride in a screw twin mixer with and without reaction initiator, benzoyl peroxide. Also, the effects of molecular weight o…

A stochastic approach, using the Ising model combined with the Monte Carlo simulation, is employed to study the phenomenon of tongue tear failure in coated fabrics. The complicated mechanisms involved can be realistically simulated with a relatively simple algorithm. The important factors, especially the effects of th…

Nanotubes in electric fields: Electrochemistry of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs; see picture) was studied for the first time. The DWCNT was prepared by pyrolysis of fullerene peapods, C60@SWCNTs. Responses to electrochemical doping of outer and inner walls were traced and distinguished by in situ Raman spectr…

Peculiarities of the non-local responses of spatially inhomogeneous insulating media to electromagnetic waves are considered within a phenomenological approach. In the case of a weak spatial dispersion (SD), a 'quasi-local' constitutive equation is derived, which allows one to isolate the effects of SD in relation to…

The 3d-transition-metal dioxo-, peroxo-, and superoxoclusters with the general composition MO2, M(O2), and MOO (M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) were studied by DFT by the B1LYP functional. The dioxides in their ground states represent the global minima for the M + O2 system. Both ground-state dioxides and the lowest-energy pe…

Inspired by the water-repellent behavior of the micro- and nano-structured plant surfaces, superhydrophobic materials, with a water contact larger than 150 degree, have received a lot of research attentions recently. It has been suggested that contamination, oxidation and current conduction can be inhibited on such su…

Effects of encapsulated fullerene rotation on peapod electronic properties are studied by using Slater–Koster tight-binding calculations. We found that the encapsulated fullerenes can rotate freely in the space of a (10, 10) tube at room temperature, and the rotation of fullerenes will affect C 60 @ (10,10) peapod ele…

Abstract Mg x Zn 1− x O (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) layers without wurzite‐rocksalt phase mixing have been successfully grown by MBE on a‐plane sapphire substrates with ZnO buffer layers. The layers of x < 0.5 take wurzite (0001) structure eliminating the problem of wurzite‐rocksalt phase mixing reported previously between x = 0.3…

The UV optical absorption edge of pure PbWO4 (PWO) and a series of La3+-doped PbWO4 crystals was measured at room temperature. Parameters, including the energy gap Eg and the energy of phonon Ep involved in the indirect transition, were calculated, and the dependence of the transition on impurities instead of phonons…

Abstract New aryl‐terminated octaalkynyl tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines were prepared in three steps starting from functionalised bisarylalkynyl 1,2‐diones. While the tert ‐butylphenyl substituents were shown to aid solubility in organic solvents and to reduce chromophore aggregation efficiently, more hydrophilic tetrapyr…
