Abstract Transparent, conductive composite coatings were fabricated from suspensions of poly(vinyl acetate‐acrylic) (PVAc‐ co ‐acrylic) copolymer latices (50–600 nm) and nanosized antimony‐doped tin oxide (ATO) particles (∼15 nm). The suspensions were deposited as coatings onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrates…

Most of what we know about proteins reflects their native folded structure. Much less is understood about the structure of unfolded proteins, which tends to be referred to as "random coil", lacking extended alpha-helix or beta-strand structure. Recent work suggests that unfolded proteins might adopt significant popula…

The ability to incorporate distinct metalloporphyrins at designated sites in multiporphyrin arrays is essential for diverse applications in materials and biomimetic chemistry. The synthesis of such mixed-metal arrays via acid catalyzed reactions has largely been restricted to metalloporphyrins of stability class II (e…

Abstract Crystallization analysis fractionation and temperature rising elution fractionation are two techniques used to estimate the chemical composition distributions of semicrystalline copolymers. This study investigates the cooling rate and cocrystallization effects for both techniques with a series of ethylene/1‐o…

Abstract Novel copolycarbonates containing 1,4:3,6‐dianhydro‐ D ‐glucitol or 1,4:3,6‐dianhydro‐ D ‐mannitol units, with various methylene chain lengths, were synthesized by bulk and solution polycondensations, of several combinations of carbonate‐modified sugar derivatives and aliphatic diols. Bulk polycondensations o…

A stable mesoporous network formed by nanoparticles of ZnS was achieved by an ultrasound-mediated fabrication method. The ZnS nanoparticles were generated in situ during the sonication, and dodecylamine was used as the structure-directing agent. All the synthesized materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction,…

Abstract We studied the interactions of nylon‐6 with water by following the Fourier transform infrared spectra of a hydrated thin film during dehydration. Very small changes in the spectra caused by the interactions were clearly revealed by the application of spectral subtraction. The water was found to interact with…

Abstract Two series of tensile tests with constant crosshead speeds (ranging from 5 to 200 mm/min) and tensile relaxation tests (at strains from 0.03 to 0.09) were performed on low‐density polyethylene in the subyield region of deformations at room temperature. Mechanical tests were carried out on nonannealed specimen…

Using two order tensors, we propose a mean-field model to describe the uniaxial and biaxial phases of nematogenic molecules presenting a shape dispersion of their biaxial dielectric susceptibility. We recover the classical isotropic-uniaxial-biaxial sequence of phases. The phase diagram exhibits a tricritical point, a…

A lattice model is presented for the simulation of dynamics in polymeric systems. Each polymer is represented as a chain of monomers, residing on a sequence of nearest-neighbor sites of a face-centered-cubic lattice. The polymers are self- and mutually avoiding walks: no lattice site is visited by more than one polyme…

Semi-empirical interatomic potentials have been developed for Al, alpha-Ti, and gamma-TiAl within the embedded atomic method (EAM) by fitting to a large database of experimental as well as ab-initio data. The ab-initio calculations were performed by the linear augmented plane wave (LAPW) method within the density func…

We describe direct electrical measurements of microwave-frequency dynamics in individual nanomagnets that are driven by spin transfer from a DC spin-polarized current. We map out the dynamical stability diagram as a function of current and magnetic field, and we show that spin transfer can produce several different ty…

First-principles band calculations are performed for the first time for an open-structured zeolite (LTA) with guest atoms (potassium) introduced in their cages. A surprisingly simple band structure emerges, which indicates that this system may be regarded as a "supercrystal", where each cluster of guest atoms with dia…
