A sustainable procedure for recycling powdered rubber coming from scrap tires (ground tire rubber [GTR]) is proposed as based on the dispersion in polyketone (PK) matrix, obtained in situ by CO/ethylene copolymerization. Three types of catalysts are used operative in solvents of different polarities. The catalyst prod…

A hard template route has been successfully developed for synthesis of β‐ SiAlON : Eu phosphors at low temperatures. The synthesis utilizes mesoporous silica ( SBA ‐15) skeleton as an active Si source, combined with the carbothermal reduction and nitridation method. It has been shown that the additional driving force…

The application of magnesium alloys as biomaterials is limited by their poor corrosion behavior. Microarc oxidation (MAO) treatment was used to prepare ceramic coatings on ZK60 magnesium alloys in order to overcome the poor corrosion resistance. The process was conducted at different current densities (3.5 and 9.0 A/d…

We derive periodic multilayer absorbers with effective uniaxial properties similar to perfectly matched layers (PML). This approximate representation of PML is based on the effective medium theory and we call it an effective medium PML. We compare the spatial reflection spectrum of the layered absorbers to that of a P…

Azobenzene-based molecules forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) tethered to a glass surface are highly photosensitive and readily reorient liquid crystals in contact with them when illuminated with polarized actinic light. We probe the coupling of such monolayers to nematic liquid crystal in a hybrid cell by study…

A novel microwave pulsed‐plasma based method for the modification of the hydrogen‐terminated polycrystalline boron‐doped diamond (BDD) with a thin film of polymerized allylamine (PPAAm) is reported. A modified BDD surface is resistant to hydrolysis and delamination and is characterized by a high density of positively…

Deposition of nano‐crystalline diamond (NCD) over large areas is of high interest for industrial applications. For instance NCD is an excellent substrate for cell growth but it is also interesting for photonic applications associated with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centres. There have been many studies on the effect of nit…

Beryllide compounds are often used in various domains because they are more resilient to oxidation than pure beryllium and at the same time they keep some of the properties of this metal. Nevertheless, the data about their properties during atomic hydrogen exposure are very scarce: numerous experiments have been condu…

An axial chiral tetrachlorinated bisbenzo[a]phenazine has been discovered that undergoes an alkane-induced shift in the solid state from a disordered amorphous form to an ordered polycrystalline form. This phase transition is caused by the formation of pores that accommodate linear alkanes of varying lengths with a ve…

We study the effects of strain relaxation on the dielectric properties of epitaxial 40 nm Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)TiO3 (PZT) films. A significant increase in the defect and dislocation density due to strain relaxation is observed in PZT films with tetragonality c/a < 1.07 grown on SrTiO3 (001) substrates, which results in signi…
