Scanning Microwave Impedance Microscopy (sMIM), a new electrical measurement mode for AFM, has shown significant success in the imaging and characterization of electrical properties at 10's of nm length scales. We review the state of the art, including imaging studies revealing electrical characteristics of novel mate…
For decades, attempts have been made to understand the formation of colloidal glasses and gels by linking suspension mechanics to particle properties where details of size, shape, and spatial dependencies of pair potentials present a bewildering array of variables that can be manipulated to achieve observed properties…
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with small particle size have been difficult to be synthesized due to their strong agglomeration. Herein we report that the nanochannels of mesoporous silica synthesized from template sol-gel synthesis were utilized to prepare AuNPs by employing thermal hydrogen reduction. Mesoporous silica…
The interaction between carbon and BN nanotubes (NT) and transition metal Co and Ni supports was studied using electronic structure calculations. Several configurations of interfaces were considered, and the most stable ones were used for electronic structure analysis. All NT/Co interfaces were found to be more energe…
ABSTRACT To modify the mechanical properties of a poly(l‐lactide) (PLLA)/poly(para‐dioxanone) (PPDO) 85/15 blend, poly(para‐dioxanone‐co‐l‐lactide) (PDOLLA) was used as a compatibilizer. The 85/15 PLLA/PPDO blends containing 1–5 wt % of the random copolymer PDOLLA were prepared by solution coprecipitation. Then, the t…
This paper addresses a current debate about the morphology of M7C3 phase in the chrome carbide overlay (CCO) and white iron community. This morphology was investigated using a serial sectioning technique in combination with computer post-processing software. A 600×600×300 μm volume of CCO was reconstructed in three di…
The present work reports the electrical conductivity for Nb-doped TiO 2 single crystal at elevated temperatures (1223 K–1298 k) in the gas phase of controlled oxygen activity [10 −10 Pa < p(O 2 ) < 10 Pa]. The effect of oxygen activity on the electrical conductivity is considered in terms of defect disorder of TiO 2 a…
We report a simple technique for the fabrication of dots-on-spheres (DoS) structures in which conjugated polymer dots (CPdots) are immobilized on the surface of silica spheres via charged interaction. Red-, green-, and blue-emissive conjugated polymers were synthesized and employed to validate the feasibility of an ap…
The knowledge of pitting corrosion behaviour of stainless steel is a critical factor in material science. In order to develop an automatic system to study pitting corrosion behaviour of this material, models based on support vector machines (SVMs) and k-nearest neighbour are presented in this work. The influence of th…
Coexistence of smectic and nematic orders in 3D curvaceous bicontineous cubic or hexagonal hierarchical structures is observed in a novel class of nanophase separated, flexible double liquid crystalline (LC) diblock copolymers of different molecular weights (MWs) but similar compositions, obtained via sequential anion…
Abstract In order to obtain flame retardants with good heat resistance, retardant properties and affinity, magnesium hydroxide (MH)/siloxane nanocomposite flame retardants were prepared by the hydrothermal and hypergravity method. The MH and MH/siloxane particles were characterized and analyzed by transmission electro…
High-quality epitaxial ZnO films on c-plane sapphire substrates have been obtained by utilizing an off-axis sputtering configuration together with buffer layers prepared via nitrogen-mediated crystallization (NMC). The role of NMC buffer layers is to provide high density of nucleation site and, thus, to reduce the str…
The electronic structure of stacking faults and surfaces without and with an additional displaced layer is calculated for the case of rhombohedral (ABC) graphite. The full-potential local-orbital code and the generalized gradient approximation to density functional theory are used. All considered surfaces and interfac…
The corrosion behavior of pure Fe under a Na2SO4 deposit in an atmosphere of O2 + H2O was investigated at 500 °C by thermo gravimetric, and electrochemical measurements, viz. potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and surface characterization methods viz. X-ray diffraction (XRD), a…
Class-D audio amplifiers are switching circuits that produce serious Electromagnetic (EM) emissions and disturb the surrounding electronics. In order to reduce these emissions, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filters with ferrite beads are used. However, ferrite beads contain magnetic materials that have a nonline…
The electronic structure and transport of graphdiyne nanoribbons are investigated theoretically by ab initio calculations. We find that some edge states of zigzag graphdiyne nanoribbons are confined in a narrow energy range. For non-magnetic zigzag graphdiyne nanoribbons, the edge states whose energy is near the valen…
A new nitric oxide-releasing material produced with cassava starch is described. The ruthenium nitrosyl complex trans-[Ru(NH3)4(isn)NO](BF4)3 (RuNOisn; isn = isonicotinamide) is able to release NO upon either photolysis or chemical reduction. Impregnating this complex under mild conditions into cassava starch (CS) fil…
As a typical conducting material, polyaniline (PANI) has been processed into various nanostructured materials that have been applied in fields including fuel cells, smart materials and anticorrosive coatings. However, few studies have investigated the properties of PANI nanostructures as biointerfaces. Herein, we deve…
Multifunctional materials are able to respond to environmental stimuli by exhibiting particular changes in some of their properties. Desired properties can be combined to create a new item with composite materials due to their suitability for achieving multi-functionality with the best characteristics of different mat…
ABSTRACT Polyacrylate brushes with pendent terthiophenes [poly(terthiophene methyl methacrylate) (PTTMM)] were successfully grown from indium tin oxide and gold with surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The films formed on both substrates were characterized by ellipsometry and Fourier transform infr…
