ABSTRACT The ability for polymers and additives to physically mix in many industrial applications is dictated by a combination of kinetic and thermodynamic factors. The presence of moisture may complicate the mixing performance as water can interact at various degrees with each of the components; this depends on the h…

Zonal flows (ZF) play a crucial role in regulating ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence. In previous global gyrokinetic simulations [1] using the ORB5 code with the adiabatic electron model, it was observed that long-lived ZF structures, leading to a corrugated transport and temperature gradient pattern, could de…

Ni‐P\nano‐ZrO2composite coatings were obtained on the AISI 304 steel substrate by the electroless method from a bath containing dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). This cationic surfactant prevents ZrO2agglomeration in the bath and affects the ZrO2content in the coating, hence it alters functional properties of t…

We calculate the magnetization of the helical metallic surface states of a topological insulator. We account for the presence of a small sub-dominant Schrödinger piece in the Hamiltonian in addition to the dominant Dirac contribution. This breaks particle-hole symmetry. The cross-section of the upper Dirac cone narrow…

The exciton dissociation, recombination, and charge transport of bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) is influenced strongly by the nanomorphology of the blend, such as the grain size and the molecular packing. Although it is well known that polymers based on amorphous poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV)…

Low-velocity dynamic compression tests were carried out to reveal the failure mechanism and the energy absorption capacity of multilayered woven lattice sandwich panels. Dynamic compression coupled with shear deformation results in typical softening deformation after the peak stress. The load–displacement curve is cha…

Abstract The lowest drag shape of fixed volume in Stokes flow has been known for some 40 years. It is front–back symmetric and similar to an American football with ends tangent to a cone of $60^{\circ }$ . The analogous convex axisymmetric shape of fixed surface area, which may be of interest for particle design in ch…

In biomimetics, living systems are imitated to develop receptors for ions, molecules and bioparticles. The most pertinent idea is self-organization in analogy to evolution in nature, which created the key-lock principle. Today, modern science has been developing host-guest chemistry, a strategy of supramolecular chemi…

The purpose of this research was to produce multi-dimensional scaffolds containing biocompatible particles and fibres. To achieve this, two techniques were combined and used: T-Junction microfluidics and electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processing. The former was used to form layers of monodispersed bovine serum albumin (BSA…

Fluorescence-switch-based logic devices are very sensitive compared with most of the reported devices based on UV/Vis absorption systems. Herein, we demonstrate that a simple molecule, 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP), shows protonation-induced multiple emission switches through intramolecular charge t…

Let G be a hierarchical network (graph) with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). The preclusion set of a subnetwork G′ (defined as a smaller network but with the same topological properties as the original one) in G is a subset V∗ of V(G) such that G−V∗ has no subnetwork G′. The preclusion number of G′ in G is F(G′)=mi…

Polymer light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) are two-terminal, solid state devices with a mixed ionic/electronic conductor as the active layer. Once activated by a DC voltage or current, a doping-induced homojunction dictates the electrical and optical response of the LEC, making it highly unique and attractive…
