The self-assembly of a terpyridine-based ligand in a DMSO/water solvent mixture (1 : 99 v/v) with a high content of water formed a nanofibrillar structure and showed a non-emissive process. On the other hand, the self-assembly of the terpyridine-based ligand exhibited strong emission in the presence of Zn(2+) due to t…

Many studies have evaluated the toxicity of gold nanoparticles, although reliable predictions based on these results are rare. In order to overcome this problem, this article highlights strategies to improve comparability and standardization of nanotoxicological studies. To this end, it is proposed that we should adap…

By combining gravity and magnetic force, we have developed a versatile and facile microfluidic method for forming magnetic decentered core-shell microcapsules in which the directions of the oil core and the magnetic nanoparticles are either opposed or the same. When the temperature rises above the LCST of the PNIPAm,…

A normalized method for evaluation of thermal shock resistance for ceramic materials was proposed. A thermal shock resistance index (TSRI), Г , in the range of 1 to 100, was introduced, based on a normalized formula obtained directly by a simple testing process of determining the changes in flexural strength before an…

We study computationally thermocapillary migration of a two-dimensional droplet attached on a horizontal substrate with a constant temperature gradient. A level-set approach is employed to track the droplet interface and a Navier slip boundary condition is imposed to alleviate a stress singularity at the moving contac…

AZ31 Mg alloy sheets were processed by the conventional symmetrical extrusion (CSE) and the asymmetric extrusion (ASE). Progressive-asymmetric extrusion (PASE) and severe strain-asymmetric extrusion (SASE) were employed for ASE processes. The texture at near-surface and mid-layer zones of ASE sheets was diverse penetr…

The effect of Ca addition on modification of primary Mg2Si, hardness and wear behavior in Mg–5 wt.%Si hypereutectic alloy has been investigated. The results showed clearly that without Ca addition, most of primary Mg2Si appeared as coarse dendritic morphology with average size of about 215 μm. With the addition of 0.1…

We propose Landau phenomenology for the phase transition from the conventional nematic into the conical helical orientationally non-uniform structure recently identified in liquid crystals formed by “banana”-shaped molecules. The mean field predictions are mostly in agreement with experimental data. Based on the analo…

Nanofiller reinforcing agents can significantly improve the strength and modulus of polymer foams. But these improvements are often accompanied by changes in foam density (or equivalently the expansion ratio or void volume). The efficacy of nanofillers as reinforcing agents can only be judged once the density differen…
