The study of the temperature-dependent Raman spectra of n -alkanes from the solid through melting and in the melt phase reveals that short intermolecular correlation can occur in the melt forming at T m and just above T m a sizable concentration of extended trans C−C bonds sequences. The mean length of these trans seq…

In this work, an attempt has been made to modify the shape and nanostructure of core-shell materials, which have been usually generated on the basis of amorphous spherical cores. Novel core-shell silicate particles, each of which consists of a silicalite-1 zeolite crystal core and mesoporous shell (ZCMS), were synthes…

Abstract Composites consisting of a polypropylene (PP) and highly crystalline cellulosic microfibers were prepared by melting mixing with the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) as a compatibilizer. The results show that even with addition of a small amount of MAPP, the mechanical properties of the composite…

Using a first-principles-based scheme, we determine the qualitative and quantitative effects of surface∕interface, thickness and electrical boundary conditions on the temperature-misfit strain phase diagrams of epitaxial (001) BaTiO3 ultrathin films. The microscopic reasons leading to such effects are also revealed.

Cobalt-doped titanium dioxide, or CTO, has emerged in the past 2 years as a semiconducting, transparent, room-temperature ferromagnet. Very recently it has been shown that the magnetism in CTO often originates in surface nanoparticles or Co-rich regions that have a much-enhanced substitutional Co content up to 40% of…
