Cavitation bubble dynamics close to a rigid surface gives rise to a rapid and transient fluid flow. A single bubble is created with a laser pulse at different stand-off distances from the rigid surface, where the stand-off distance gamma is defined by gamma = h/R(max), with h being the initial distance and R(max) bein…
A two-phase synthesis technique is developed for high-quality Mn3O4 nanocrystals with morphologies that approach monodisperse spheres and perfect cubes. The cubic nanocrystals gradually evolve into spheres over time at an elevated temperature (see graph). The dependence of magnetic properties on their size and shape i…
CuFe 2 O 4 − x NiO ( x = 1, 5, 10, and 20 wt %) nanocomposites have been successfully prepared by a simple combustion method using urea−nitrate precursors. The samples were sintered at different temperatures, namely 600, 800, 1000, and 1100 °C, for 5 h to enhance the compound formation and phase purity, studied by mea…
Abstract The leak (of He gas) in composite Pd membranes prepared by the electroless deposition method was studied. The leak was distributed over the entire surface of membranes, and was due to the formation of pinholes, 0.1–2 μm in dia., located at the boundaries of Pd clusters and Pd crystallites. The rate at which t…
Abstract Cyclic oligomers of engineering plastics such as polycarbonate and aromatic polyesters have been known for some time, being formed at very low levels during commercial manufacture. At GE Global Research, we have devised methods for high‐yielding and selective preparation of such cyclic oligomers, that are ame…
The syntheses, structures, and coordination chemistry of phosphole-containing hybrid calixphyrins (P,N2,X-hybrid calixphyrins) and the catalytic activities of their transition-metal complexes are reported. The 5,10-porphodimethene type 14pi-P,(NH)2,X- and 16pi-P,N2,X-hybrid calixphyrins (X = O, S, NH) are prepared via…
Novel glycolides with pendent oligo(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether substituents were synthesized. Subsequent ring-opening polymerization using 4- tert -butylbenzyl alcohol as the initiator and Sn(2-ethylhexanote) 2 as the catalyst yielded homogeneous oligo(ethylene oxide)-grafted polylactides with high molecular wei…
The nanocomposite of mesoporous ZnO and Ag was synthesized by microwave radiation in a 15 min reaction conducted under an argon atmosphere. The 3.5 ± 0.4 nm Ag particles were inserted into the pores, changing the pore structure. The particles are also present as clusters on the surface of ZnO. The hexagonal ZnO nanodi…
A new and general synthetic method for the preparation of fluoro-substituted subazaporphyrins is reported that involves the treatment of the corresponding chloro- or aryloxy-substituted subazaporphyrins (SubAPs) with BF(3).OEt(2). The strategy has been applied to both subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) and subporphyrazines (…
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements have been performed on YMnO3, aiming to study the interplay between spin and lattice degrees of freedom in this hexagonal multiferroic material. Our study provides evidence for a strong coupling between magnons and phonons, evidenced by the opening of a gap below T(N) in the d…
A porous conducting polymer/heteropolyoxometalate hybrid material that displays high specific capacitance and low ionic resistance has been prepared for electrochemical supercapacitor applications. Polypyrrole/phosphomolybdate composite films were chemically synthesized in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of sodium sul…
Making plans for hydrogels: Calculations successfully predict the molecular structure of a robust hydrogel. Melamine and uric acid cocrystallize with water upon sonication, and using experimental data, the minimized structure (see picture) was calculated and successfully compared with powder X-ray diffraction data of…
The production of nanofibrous PLA/HA composite scaffolds is described. The morphological, mechanical, surface, and thermal properties of the composites were extensively investigated. The results show that the mixture of PLA and HA formed smooth nanofibers without lumps. The incorporation of HA increased the mechanical…
Abstract The equilibrium dispersion of nanoparticles with grafted polymer chains into polymer matrices, of the same chemical structure as the brush, is studied through the device of mean‐field theory. Our results show that the disperion of brush‐coated nanoparticles into a matrix polymer is improved with (i) decreasin…
Abstract Highly refractive and transparent polyimides (PIs) based on fluorene‐bridged and sulfur‐containing monomers have been developed. An aromatic dianhydride, 4,4′‐[ p ‐thiobis(phenylenesulfanyl)]diphthalic anhydride (3SDEA), was polymerized with several fluorene‐containing diamines, including commercially availab…
Abstract The morphological structure of CB networks in elastomers and their flocculation dynamics under heat treatment and especially during vulcanization are analyzed by dynamic mechanical and dielectric spectroscopy. Dielectric spectra in the MHz range show that nanoscopic gaps between adjacent CB particles develop…
Jump rates of muonium and hydrogen in diamond are calculated by quantum transition-state theory, based on the path-integral centroid formalism. This technique allows us to study the influence of vibrational mode quantization on the effective free-energy barriers Delta F for impurity diffusion, which are renormalized r…
The surfaces of colloidal particles resulting from many new fabrication methods are not molecularly smooth, so understanding how surface roughness can affect the depletion attraction between the particles and their assembly is very important. We show that the depletion attraction between custom-shaped microscale plate…
This Concept shows the flexibility and applicability of (Me3Si)3SiH in several synthetic transformations, such as radical reductions, consecutive radical reactions and hydrosilylation. The reactivity of (Me3Si)3SiH combines the multidisciplinary aspects of physical organic chemistry and organic synthesis, extending to…
