Polypropylene (PP) matrix synthetic phosphate based degradable fiber reinforced unidirectional composites (10% fiber by weight) were fabricated by compression molding. Tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus (TM), elongation at break (%), bending strength (BS), bending modulus (BM), and impact strength (IS) were found…
In this study, jute fabrics/modified epoxy composites were fabricated by means of hand lay-up process. In order to enhance adhesion between the alkalized jute fabric and epoxy, modification processes was carried out by applying an oligomeric siloxane at different concentrations into epoxy matrix. The influence of resi…
Recent advances using a surface embossing technique allow us to inexpensively impart micro-scale surface features on heat exchanger construction material, which we exploit to reduce condensate retention. The retention of condensate is important to the performance of heat exchangers in a broad range of air-cooling and…
We generalize the theoretical model of magnetic metamaterials made of dielectric particles to treat random particle sizes, shapes, and orientations. We demonstrate that the magnetic-dipole response of these randomly shaped subwavelength particles can be approximated with Mie theory as though they were spheres, while a…
The dynamics of first-order electronic phase transitions in complex transition metal oxides are not well understood but are crucial in understanding the emergent phenomena of electronic phase separation. We show that a manganite system reduced to the scale of its inherent electronic charge-ordered insulating and ferro…
Arrays of V2O5 nanowires are grown on silicon substrates by a catalytic vapor–solid mechanism (see image). The obtained nanowires are single-crystalline and highly oriented with their lengths and substrate coverage controlled by the duration of the reaction, reaction temperature, and flow velocity. The growth of these…
It is shown theoretically that a nonchiral, two-dimensional array of metallic spheres exhibits optical activity as manifested in calculations of circular dichroism. The metallic spheres occupy the sites of a rectangular lattice, and for off-normal incidence they show a strong circular-dichroism effect around the surfa…
Abstract A polyaniline based amperometric pH sensor has been developed using a novel electrochemical measurement system. A polyaniline film (PANI) coated pencil graphite electrode (PGE) is connected in series between the working and counter electrodes of a potentiostat, and immersed in the solution together with a ref…
The measured thermodynamic phase diagram of the quasi-two-dimensional magnet $[\text{Cu}({\text{HF}}_{2}){(\text{pyz})}_{2}]{\text{BF}}_{4}(\text{pyz}=\text{pyrazine}={\text{N}}_{2}{\text{C}}_{4}{\text{H}}_{4})$ exhibits an unusual nonmonotonic dependence of the N\'eel temperature ${T}_{N}$ as a function of magnetic f…
Kinetics of spreading of aqueous trisiloxane surfactant T(n) (with n = 4, 6, and 8 ethoxy groups) solutions and conventional aqueous surfactant solutions (Tween 20, C12E4, SDS) over silicon wafers coated with PTFE AF is experimentally investigated. It has been found that trisiloxane solutions spread on highly hydropho…
Abstract We have demonstrated a general template synthesis halloysite‐based composite nanotube. Starting from a parent halloysite nanotube, polymer composite nanotubes were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The shell thickness and the cavity size of the polymer composite nanotubes were tunabl…
We investigate the effects of particle size and shape on the quadrupolar (Saturn-ring-like) defect structures formed by a nematic liquid crystal around nm-sized and mum -sized particles with spherical and spherocylindrical shapes. We also report results for the potentials of mean force in our systems, calculated using…
Stable ZnO nanoparticles suitable for further surface functionalization were synthesized in the liquid phase from homogeneous ethanolic solutions of the precursors lithium hydroxide and zinc acetate. It was found that the growth of the particles was governed by temperature as well as the presence of the reaction bypro…
The Rayleigh–Taylor instability of two immiscible fluids in the limit of small Atwood numbers is studied by means of a phase-field description. In this method, the sharp fluid interface is replaced by a thin, yet finite, transition layer where the interfacial forces vary smoothly. This is achieved by introducing an or…
An effective and facile approach to prepare gold-nanoparticle-encapsulated alginic acid-poly[2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] monodisperse hybrid nanospheres (ALG-PDEA-Au) is developed by using monodisperse ALG-PDEA nanospheres as a precursor nanoparticulate reaction system. This approach utilizes particle-interior…
Experimental studies of the surface morphology and electronic structure of bulk single crystals of the transparent and wide gap semiconductor gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) have been conducted using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARP…
In this study, the association ("electrostatic self-assembly") of cationic generation 4 poly(amidoamine) dendrimer with a set of oppositely charged aromatic and aliphatic organic sulfonate counterions was investigated. Aggregate size and shape depend on the counterion structure. Formation of defined assemblies was pos…
Abstract Network (sponge) and cellular structures are often seen in various types of materials. Materials with such structures are generally characterized by light weight and high mechanical strength. The usefulness of such materials is highlighted, for example, by the remarkable material properties of bone tissue, wh…
To overcome shortcomings of current small-diameter vascular prostheses, we developed a novel allogenic vascular graft from a decellularized scaffold modified through heparin immobilization and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) coating. The VEGF coating and release profiles were assayed by enzyme-linked immunos…
A generalized approach to attain spinnability in polymer solutions in electrospinning using emulsions is described. By using emulsions, low-molecular weight (MW) polymer solutions that tend to electrospray can be spun into nanofibers. Additionally, control over fiber properties independent of polymer solution viscosit…
