Displacement puckering is the major cause of seam puckering, while sewing lightweight woven fabrics. In this paper, effect of seam angle (0°–90° to the weft) on the seam puckering has been studied for cotton and polyester fabrics at different stitch lengths. Puckering is estimated by measuring a difference between the…

A hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) was generated containing a high content of renewable biomass. The polymer is based on a commercial hot-melt acrylic formulation containing primarily 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA). The new polymer is synthesized with a majority of the EHA replaced with a macromonomer (MM) prep…

Herein we utilize on-wire lithography (OWL) to synthesize a composite plasmonic–semiconductor material composed of Au nanorod dimers embedded within anatase TiO 2 sheets. We demonstrate that, despite the harsh conditions necessary to synthesize crystalline TiO 2, the gapped nanostructures remain intact. Additionally,…

An 85 nm-thick morphotropic PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) film grown epitaxially and [001]-oriented onto a SrTiO3-buffered Si-wafer is investigated using temperature dependent X-ray diffraction. Two phase transitions, at Trt ∼ 500 K and Tc ∼ 685 K, are evidenced and are attributed to structural phase transitions from monocli…

Previous post-synthesis nanoparticle processing techniques have demonstrated that carbon dioxide (CO 2 )-gas-expanded liquids can be used as a tool to controllably induce nanoparticle precipitation and size-selective fractionation. Until now, these previous studies have been limited to using nonpolar solvents (e.g., h…

Using the nonequilibrium Green's function method, we investigate the effects of edge reconstructions on the thermal conductance of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). For the first time, we show that the thermal conductance of edge reconstructed zigzag GNRs oscillates with the number of dimers along the width direction, N .…

Rheological and morphological properties of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) with low‐density polyethylene‐ grafted ‐maleic anhydride as a compatibilizer were investigated. The results showed that the circularity of the droplets decreased with increasing TPS content. The presence of compa…

Calcium hydroxide nanoparticles in hydro-alcoholic dispersion are introduced as an effective conservation material for carbonatic substrates, thanks to their promising carbonation efficacy in ambient air. However, the current methods to synthesize such dispersions are characterized by some drawbacks that strongly limi…

A new diamine, 4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2,6-bis(4-aminophenyl)pyridine, was synthesized and used in the preparation of the fluorinated polyamides with inherent viscosities of 0.67–0.96 dL g −1 by direct polycondensation with aromatic dicarboxylic acids. The obtained polyamides have good solubility in many organic s…

Abstract The gadolinium(III) complexes GdL1 and GdL2 were designed as Zn2+‐responsive bimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and fluorescence imaging probes. Upon binding to Zn2+ ions, GdL1 exhibits a bidentate or tridentate mode to form heterodinuclear GdL1Zn or heterotrinuclear (GdL1)2Zn, whereas GdL2 binds to the…

In an energy transfer (ET) process, it is the optical responses of donor and acceptor materials on the single-particle level that ultimately determine its overall performance. Here we conduct time-tagged, time-resolved optical measurements to correlate the photoluminescence (PL) intensities and lifetimes of a donor se…

Higher order elastic constants are very useful in understanding the anharmonicity of ZnO due to finite strain. The third-order elastic constants of zinc oxid (ZnO) and the size effect of the strain dependent Young's moduli of ZnO nanowires have been studied by first-principles calculations and molecular mechanics meth…
