Nearly monodisperse LaAlO(3) hollow spheres are synthesized by a novel precursor thermal decomposition method. Spherical colloids of capsulelike precursors with uniform diameters of 273 ± 35 nm have been synthesized by a solvothermal method. These spherical colloids could convert to LaAlO(3) hollow spheres with diamet…

Concerted and oxidative mechanisms for the initiation of the ROP of ε-caprolactone by divalent Sm(BH 4 ) 2 (THF) 2 have been computed at the DFT level and compared with experimental data. The concerted polymerization pathway is proposed to occur via divalent [Sm]–(BH 4 ) active species through classical O-acyl cleavag…

Dielectric relaxation and complex heat capacity were carried out on high molecular weight poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA). The temperature was found to exert a stronger effect than density on the segmental dynamics, as reflected in the magnitudes of the scaling exponent, 2.55, and the ratio of isochoric and isobaric activ…

A cantilevered carbon nanotube/amorphous Si coaxial nanostructure is studied with in situ transmission electron microscopy. The α-Si shell breaks at the anchoring point to the supporting Si substrate. The broken α-Si shell is pulled out while the CNT core remains intact, illustrating the striking interfacial mechanica…

A new method for studying the dynamics of a sessile drop by atomic force microscopy (AFM) is demonstrated. A hydrophobic microsphere (radius, r ∼ 20-30 μm) is brought into contact with a small sessile water drop resting on a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surface. When the microsphere touches the liquid surface, the m…

Abstract The Raman scattering process in graphene is always resonant, i.e. involves real electronic states, and this affects the Raman intensity. Thus, a detailed analysis of the Raman intensity of graphene can provide useful information on the Raman scattering process itself, in particular on the interaction between…

Abstract Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a novel class of shape memory materials which can store a deformed (temporary) shape and recover an original (permanent) shape under a shape memory thermomechanical loading–unloading cycle. The deformation mechanisms of SMPs are very complicated, but the SMPs also have a lot o…

Abstract MoS 2 nanoparticles were formed on the graphitic surface by annealing of a mixture of amorphous MoS 3 and reduced graphite oxide at 1000 °C in high‐vacuum conditions. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) revealed that the nanoparticles are ranged from 5 to 12 nm. The large variation in nan…
