Abstract Biodegradable, amphiphilic, four‐armed poly(ϵ‐caprolactone)‐ block ‐poly(ethylene oxide) (PCL‐ b ‐PEO) copolymers were synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization of ethylene oxide in the presence of four‐armed poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) (PCL) with terminal OH groups with diethylzinc (ZnEt 2 ) as a catalyst. The che…
Shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators have attractive advantages such as high power to volume ratio. However, they also have hard nonlinearities including backlash-like hysteresis and saturation. These nonlinearities result in steady-state errors and limit cycle problems when conventional controllers are used for traject…
OBJECTIVE: Blood compatibility of artificial surfaces depends on their immunogenic and thrombogenic properties. Collagen's weak antigenicity makes it an attractive candidate for stent coatings or fabrication of vascular grafts. However, the thrombogenic nature of collagen limits its application. We examined whether he…
Evaluation of indium(III) tris(8-quinolinolato) (Inq 3 ) chelate crystals grown slowly from the vapor phase under vacuum (∼10 - 6 Torr) was compared to the aluminum analogue, Alq 3 . In both cases, a previously unidentified close π−π interaction is identified, which likely impacts charge conduction. In the case of Inq…
Single-phase CuMgAl ternary hydrotalcite with (Cu+Mg)/Al atomic ratio of 3.0 and Cu/Mg atomic ratio of 1.0 was synthesized by coprecipitation. Thermoanalytical studies of this sample showed transformations in three stages in the temperature range up to ca. 900 K yielding mainly CuO phase. In situ diffuse reflectance i…
Abstract Styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene, and the butadiene unit is composed of cis ‐1,4‐, trans ‐1,4‐, and 1,2‐components. Filler‐polymer interactions of each component of SBR in silica‐filled SBR compounds were examined by microstructure analysis of the bound and unbound rubber…
Spatial variations in electronic structures and evolutions of band structures of polypyrrole (PPy) have been studied using an atomic force microscope with a conducting tip, a so-called current-sensing atomic force microscope (CS-AFM). PPy films were deposited electrochemically onto gold-on-silicon electrodes, and thei…
A binary lattice gas model that allows for multiple occupancy of lattice sites, inspired by recent coarse-grained descriptions of solutions of interacting polymers, is investigated by combining the steepest descent approximation with an exploration of the multidimensional energy landscape and by Gibbs ensemble Monte C…
CsLnMnSe(3) (Ln = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Y) and AYbZnQ(3) (A = Rb, Cs; Q = S, Se, Te) have been synthesized from solid-state reactions at temperatures in excess 1173 K. These isostructural materials crystallize in the layered KZrCuS(3) structure type in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm. The structure is comp…
A series of PPV-based polyoxadiazoles have been synthesized by Horner and Suzuki coupling polymerization to investigate their structure−property relationship. These copolymers exhibit good thermal stability (decomposition temperature around 352−413 °C). Excimer formation in P4 − P9 was confirmed by their absorption an…

Abstract A novel approach to the preparation of polyethylene (PE) nanocomposites, with montmorillonite/silica hybrid (MT‐Si) supported catalyst, was developed. MT‐Si was prepared by depositing silica nanoparticles between galleries of the MT. A common zirconocene catalyst [bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride/met…
The cofacial bisporphyrins H4DPS (DPS = 4,6-bis[5-(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrinyl)]dibenzothiophene), H4DPO (DPO = 4,6-bis[5-(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrinyl)]dibenzofuran), H4DPX (DPX = 4,5-bis[5-(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrinyl)]-9,9-dimethylxanthene…
We consider a quantum dot coupled to two BCS superconductors with same gap energies $Δ$. The transport properties are investigated by means of infinite-$U$ noncrossing approximation. In equilibrium density of states, Kondo effect shows up as two sharp peaks around the gap bounds. Application of a finite voltage bias l…
From density functional calculations, we show that localized states stemming from defects or topological disorder exhibit an anomalously large electron-phonon coupling. We provide a simple analysis to explain the observation and perform a detailed study on an interesting system: amorphous silicon. We compute first pri…
A recent report [Kiguchi {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 68}, 115402 (2003)] that the (111) surface of 5 MgO layers grown epitaxially on Ag(111) becomes metallic to reduce the electric dipole moment raises a question of what will happen when we have fewer MgO layers. Here we have revealed, first experimentally with el…
We have developed a new technique for photothermal displacement spectroscopy that is potentially orders of magnitude more sensitive than conventional methods. We use a single Fabry-Perot resonator to enhance both the intensity of the pump beam and the sensitivity of the probe beam. The result is an enhancement of the…
We present a femtosecond time-resolved optical spectroscopy (TRS) as an experimental tool to probe the changes in the low energy electronic density of states as a result of short and long range charge density wave order. In these experiments, a femtosecond laser pump pulse excites electron-hole pairs via an interband…
A simple and effective method denoted “pH-adjusting” is used to graft a large amount of heteroatoms such as Al and Ti to mesoporous silica material SBA-15. The products prepared by this method show highly ordered mesostructures with large surface areas and uniform mesopore size distribution. The results of ICP, EDX, 2…
Two crystals of lindackerite, ideally (Cu,Co,Ni)Cu 4 (AsO 4 ) 2 (AsO 3 OH) 2 . 9 H 2 O from Jachymov (formerly St. Joachimsthal), Czech Republic, were studied and found to be essentially isostructural. The microprobe analysis of the first sample yielded (in wt%): As 29.66, Cu 27.85, Co 1.50, Ni 0.83,O 39.96, sum 99.79…
