The synthesis of photo-responsive polymers with high density of spiropyran (SP) groups has been investigated. Initially the ATRP synthesis of star-shaped polymer using acrylated benzospiropyran (BSP) was attempted but results suggested an incompatibility of ATRP with BSP preventing the formation of polymers or polymer…

We investigate the effect of finite size on phase boundaries of hydride formation in ultrathin metallic films, using Fe/V(001) superlattices as a model system. The critical temperature is determined to scale linearly with the inverse thickness of the V layers. The decrease of the ordering temperature with decreasing l…

ABSTRACT In this study, composites based on a thermoset polyurethane elastomer (PU) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in the case of a PU of high elastic modulus (>200 MPa) are analyzed for the first time. As‐grown and modified nanotubes with 4 wt % of oxygenated functions (MWCNT‐ox) were employed to compare th…

The microwave-assisted polyol process was applied and modified to synthesize phase-pure micro- or nanocrystalline samples of all intermetallic phases in the bismuth–palladium system. Reaction temperatures range between 170 and 240 °C, whereas conventional syntheses from melt necessitate 500 to 1000 °C. Reaction times…

The Na-doped Y2/3Cu3Ti4O12 system has been prepared and investigated. Na doping facilitates the formation of oxygen vacancies, which is of great benefit to the growth of the grain size. Proper amount of Na substitution in NaxY(2−x)/3Cu3Ti4O12 ceramics makes the dielectric loss significantly decreased. As x = 0.050, Na…
