A new nanophase-separated structure with parallel double periodicity has been identified for an undecablock terpolymer in bulk. The polymer includes two long poly(2-vinypyridine) ($P$) chains on each end, with five short polyisoprene ($I$) and four short polystyrene ($S$) chains at the center. This polymer exhibits a…

Microphase-ordered block copolymers serve as model systems to elucidate the potential of molecular self-assembly and organic templates to fabricate functionalized polymeric materials. Both aspects are related to the incorporation of secondary species such as low-molar-mass compounds or nanoparticles within the copolym…

The nanocluster literature contains a wide variety of nanocluster stabilizing agents. In addition to the plethora of putative stabilizing additives, 12 claims appear of "solvent-only" stabilization of transition-metal nanoclusters-a hypothesis that is tested for the first time as part of the present studies. When the…

Abstract Electrospinning of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), and their blends was first carried out in chloroform at 50 °C on a stationary collector. The average diameter of the as‐spun fiber from PHB and PHBV solutions decreased with increasing collection distance…

An exceptional evaporation pattern is observed on special micro–nano hierarchically structured superhydrophobic natural lotus and biomimetic polymer surfaces. The evaporation process is simulated by the ellipsoidal cap-geometry model, which fits the experimental data well. The picture shows the contact angle (CA) and…

Ultrathin polyelectrolyte gel pH-responsive membranes with sub-micrometer pore size are synthesized on planar substrates. The membranes are thin porous films made of a crosslinked polyelectrolyte that can be easily transferred onto various porous and nonporous substrates for the fabrication of devices with pH-controll…

The dispersion of small-diameter single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) produced by the CoMoCAT method in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with the use of amine was studied. The absorption, photoluminescence, and Raman spectroscopies showed that the dispersion and centrifugation process leads to an effective separation of metall…

Abstract In this letter, the authors present the design of a resonant microwave absorber made by a proper array of split ring resonators (SRRs). The physical mechanism behind the operation of the proposed component is based on the SRR resonance, arising when the structure is excited by a properly polarized impinging w…

We compute from first principles the infrared dispersion of the nonlinear susceptibility $χ^{(2)}$ in zincblende semiconductors. At terahertz frequencies the nonlinear susceptibility depends not only on the purely electronic response $χ^{(2)}_{\infty}$, but also on three other parameters $C_1$, $C_2$ and $C_3$ describ…

We investigate the peel front dynamics and acoustic emission of an adhesive tape within the context of a recent model by including an additional dissipative energy that mimics bursts of acoustic signals. We find that the nature of the peeling front can vary from smooth to stuck-peeled configuration depending on the va…
