We have performed total-energy electronic-structure calculations based on the density-functional theory that clarify atomic and electronic structures of ice nanotubes encapsulated in carbon nanotubes. We have found that three tubular structures of ice are stable in carbon nanotubes. The structural characteristics of t…

Abstract Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites are prepared using paraffin as solvent. The resulting electrical properties show lower electrical percolation threshold, which is 1.4 vol %, than that of UHMWPE‐MWNT composites prepared by gelation/crystalliza…

Abstract A wide‐band reflective polarizer from glassy siloxane cyclic side‐chain liquid crystals with stable optical properties was developed. The pitch gradient that formed was first stored by rapid cooling, which, by preventing the crystallization of glassy materials, was a very easy way of keeping the molecular arr…

We studied the optical gain characteristics of CdSe/ZnS core/shell colloidal quantum rods, investigated their temperature dependence, and compared the gain properties with quantum dots (QD). The gain was measured systematically for close-packed films of rods and dots under quasi-CW nanosecond optical pumping, using th…

We describe a novel purification process for single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) materials that removes non-nanotube carbon and reduces ferromagnetic impurities to levels at which native SWNT magnetic properties predominate. Ferromagnetism is reduced from 1.04 to less than 0.013 emu/g by magnetic gradient filtration. T…

Abstract Polyurethane (PU) coatings are widely used for variety of high‐performance applications in today's coating technology. The emerging hyperbranched polymers having three‐dimensional morphology have opened a new avenue to tailor the architecture of PU coatings. The methodology followed here is based on preparati…

We measured the elastic modulus of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) grown by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over a broad diameter range (10-25 nm). Alternating current (ac) dielectrophoresis was used for efficient tube deposition, and atomic force microscope (AFM) force-displacement curve te…

The composition and lattice parameters of co‐precipitated (La 0.3 Y 0.7 ) orthophosphate were studied using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results indicate that the as‐precipitated powder consists of single‐phase (La 0.3 Y 0.7 PO 4 ·…

Abstract To improve the mechanical properties of zein films, a commercial white zein was reacted in glacial acetic acid (HAc) with glutaraldehyde (GDA) from 0.5 to 16% by weight based on the weight of zein. Amounts of 4% or higher GDA‐modified zein, when cured in a closed system, generated a gel. That gel was insolubl…

The first use of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as assembling components in complex coacervation is presented. The single-step formation of MNP-based microspheres (see figure) can be considered as a NP self-assembly process induced by the presence of polyelectrolytes, in which solid microspheres are rapidly generated a…

At a silver surface, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique along with the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) method was performed to observe the adsorption behavior of AMT as a protective reagent for metals from corrosion. For 20 h of self-assembling, the time-dependent SERS spectra show that a stable AMT m…
