Purpose Although the original Jiles‐Atherton (J‐A) hysteresis model is able to represent a wide range of major hysteresis loops, in particular those of soft magnetic materials, it can produces non‐physical minor loops with its classical equations. The purpose of this paper is to show a modification in the J‐A hysteres…

We discuss surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) structures aimed at providing robust and reproducible enhancements. The structures involve periodic arrays of gold nanospheres near silver film structures that may also be patterned. They enable one to excite Bloch wave surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that can al…

Abstract The tensile strength and thermal stability of polylactide (PLA) were significantly improved through chemical crosslinking. However, it became much more rigid and brittle. To obtain a material with good thermal stability and enhanced ability to plastic deformation, chemical crosslinked PLA with 0.5 wt % triall…

A homogeneous and extremely fine yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) precursor powder was synthesized from solutions with a low [urea]/[metal ions] ratio under microwave irradiation, and pure phase YAG was directly crystallized from it at 1173 K. In the presence of sulfate ions, a fibrillar precursor that takes on a dendrit…

We use small angle neutron scattering (SANS), with an original analysis method, to obtain both the characteristic sizes and the inner composition of lysozyme-pectin complexes depending on the charge density. Lysozyme is a globular protein and pectin a natural anionic semiflexible polysaccharide with a degree of methyl…

It is broadly accepted that the rate of corrosion and oxidation of metals is determined by the nature of a reaction products or surface film formed on the interface between metal and the environment of interest that can be liquid or gas phase. It is therefore of fundamental importance to understand ...

During drying of water‐based tape casting slurries, high stresses can occur, which lead to crack formation. Under the variety of different techniques to measure the drying stresses, the deflect measurement technique is very common. Due to the nontransparent substrate, this technique has the disadvantage, that a direct…

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding, not hydrophobic interaction, is the driving force for the spontaneous self-assembly of glycosylated polyoxazoline chains into nanotubes in dilute aqueous solution. The structural information is encoded in the relatively simple molecular structure of chains consisting of a tertiary poly…

Abstract Catalytic oxidative polymerization of 2,2′‐dihydroxybiphenyl (DHBP) was performed by using both the Schiff base monomer‐Cu(II) complex and Schiff base polymer‐Cu(II) complex compounds as catalysts and hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, respectively. The dependence of monomer conversion and molecular weight distrib…

We study quasistatic cloaking by the mechanism of plasmonic resonance, for systems of coated cylinders. Our focus is on the nature of the resonant cloaking interaction: whether systems of particles can be made to cooperate in cloaking a polarizable particle from an applied uniform field. We show that in fact if the cl…

Abstract Oxygen permeability and the free‐volume hole size (cavity size) of ethylene‐vinylalcohol copolymers (EVOH) indicate abnormal humidity dependence, that is, they have minimum values in the range of around 20–40% RH, not showing a monotonic increase with humidity. To clarify this abnormal phenomenon, we investig…

Abstract A simple and novel aqueous method was elaborated to disperse multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix using the sodium salts of suberic acid (half and fully neutralized versions, HNSA and FNSA, respectively) as the modifiers. The incorporation of HNSA significantly improved th…

It is demonstrated that the use of ∼0.9 mol% Li 2 CO 3 (LC) as a sintering aid for Sr, K, Nb modified Pb(Zr 1− x ,Ti x )O 3 (PZT) ceramics is effective only in the presence of excess PbO (∼2 mol%). It is shown that LC and PbO react to form the compound, Li 2 PbO 3 (LPO) which has a melting temperature of ∼836°C. Using…

A trimer of cholic acid was prepared via a simple isocyanate linkage. Fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopic studies showed that the same cholane trimer can form either a hydrophobic cavity in aqueous solutions or a hydrophilic cavity in an apolar solvent using pyrene and a derivative of pyrene as probes. The dynamic i…
