Abstract Polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites were prepared, adding modified, and nonmodified montmorillonites to a resol resin. It was observed that the composites exhibited an intercalated disordered structure by means of X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electronic microscopy. The crosslinking density of…

The authors propose a method to control the viewing angle of a liquid crystal (LC) panel using dual-mode switching. To realize both wide viewing angle (WVA) characteristics and narrow viewing angle (NVA) characteristics with a single LC panel, the authors use two different dark states. The LC layer can be aligned homo…

Abstract Base oils with different compositions and different degrees of refining have been subjected to three types of oxidation stability tests in the presence of antioxidants. A higher degree of refining of base oils depletes the natural antioxidants present in oils of lower degree of refining. However, the results…

Aging in an attraction-driven colloidal glass is studied by computer simulations. The system is equilibrated without attraction and instantaneously "quenched," at constant colloid volume fraction, to one of two states beyond the glass transition; one is close to the transition, and the other one deep in the glass. The…

A combination study of structural, optical, and electrical properties has been carried out on N–In codoped p-type ZnO thin films for the origins of shallow level and hole mobility. The observed small activation energy of ∼20meV for the hole concentration corresponds well to the results from photoluminescence and condu…

Abstract Poly‐vinyl‐alcohol (PVA) porous structures have been prepared using a supercritical phase inversion process in which supercritical carbon dioxide (SC‐CO 2 ) acts as the nonsolvent. First, we tested the versatility of the SC‐CO 2 phase inversion process, forming PVA/dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solutions with poly…

Synchrotron x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) experiments are performed on Mn-doped PbZr1−xTixO3 samples (PZT) and compared with first-principles XANES simulations. The features of the measured Mn K-edge XANES are consistent with the first-principles XANES of Mn on the Ti∕Zr site and inconsistent with Mn on…

Abstract In the study of ultra‐thin films (<10‐nm thick), there is a range of methods that can provide accurate measurements of differences in thickness. However, in a pilot study under the auspices of the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (CCQM), results for the archetypal system of SiO 2 on Si show t…
