The interactions between rubbers and silicas were studied by means of bound rubber determination, vulcanizate swelling procedure, and tensile retraction measurement. The mobilities of rubber chain segments in mixture with silicas were investigated by thermomechanical and dynamic mechanical analyzers. The results show…
Copolymers of ε-CL/L-LA and ε-CL/DL-LA were allowed to age in a buffer solution of pH 7 at 23 and 37°C. The effects of time and temperature on the rate of hydrolysis were examined by various techniques including weighing (water absorption and weight loss), SEC (molecular weight and polydispersity), and DSC (thermal pr…
The metallic regime of the hydrogen plasma is studied by ab initio Molecular Dynamics simulations, for classical protons and fully degenerate electrons, in the strong coupling regime of the protons. The breakdown of linear screening observed for decreasing density gives rise to a surprisingly rich low-temperature phas…
Copolymers of ε-caprolactone and L-lactide (ε-CL/L-LA) and ε-caprolactone and DL-lactide (ε-CL/DL-LA) were synthesized with compositions 80/20, 60/40, and 40/60 (wt % in feed). The polymerization temperature was 140°C and Sn(II)octoate was used as a catalyst. The effect of the comonomer ratio on the thermal and mechan…
Studies on structure and properties of natural vegetable fibers (NVF) show that composites made of NVF combine good mechanical properties with a low specific mass. The high level of moisture absorption by the fiber, its poor wettability, as well as the insufficient adhesion between untreated fibers and the polymer mat…
The nature of dielectric relaxation has been studied in a number of alcohols and polyols in the frequency range 106–10-3 Hz and the temperature range 77–368 K. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements have also been carried out on all the systems. In all the cases, the main dielectric relaxation rates were found…
We report results of calculations that explain in the itinerant electron picture weak ferromagnetism in hematite, α-Fe 2 O 3 . We use the local approximation to spin-density functional theory and the ASW method incorporating spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and non-collinear moment arrangements. By a detailed symmetry analys…
Sintering of Si 3 N 4 nanoclusters is investigated with the molecular-dynamics approach. At 2000 K thermally rough nanocrystals develop an asymmetric neck in 100 picoseconds. The neck contains more fourfold than threefold coordinated Si atoms. Amorphous nanoclusters develop a symmetric neck which has nearly equal numb…
The amplitudes of electric-field-induced translational vibrations of 90\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} domain walls formed in a tetragonal ferroelectric thin film grown on a cubic substrate are calculated theoretically. The domain wall contribution to the dielectric response of an epitaxial film is evaluated and s…
We apply density functional theory to study the influence of polydispersity on the stability of columnar, smectic, and solid ordering in the solutions of rodlike macromolecules. For sufficiently large length polydispersity (standard deviation $\ensuremath{\sigma}>0.25$) a direct first-order nematic-columnar transit…
We present the results of a total-energy pseudopotential simulation of the sliding process at a $\ensuremath{\Sigma}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}5$ (001) twist grain boundary in germanium. Sliding involves a stick-slip mechanism with local rebonding among a few atoms, accompanied by the clearance…
The influence of N2 additions (5%–40% N2/CH4) on various features of hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of diamond layers is presented and discussed using experimental results and calculations of the thermodynamic equilibrium. Small N2 additions (5%–10% N2/CH4) improved the diamond phase purity but led surpr…
Conductive RuO2 thin films have been heteroepitaxially grown by pulsed laser deposition on Si substrates with yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) buffer layers. The RuO2 thin films deposited under optimized processing conditions are a-axis oriented normal to the Si substrate surface with a high degree of in-plane alignme…
Kincs and Martin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 70 (1996)] have recently discovered a ubiquitous non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity in glassy fast ionic conductors when the conductivity exceeds the high level of ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ to ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}2}{\ensuremath{\Omega}}^{\ensuremath{-}…
It has been suggested [D. L. Koch and E. S. G. Shaqfeh, J. Fluid Mech. 224, 275 (1991)] that the long-range hydrodynamic interactions in sedimenting suspensions of non-Brownian spheres are screened by changes in the pair correlation function. However, a large-scale numerical simulation, using more than 32 000 spheres,…
Organic field-effect transistors (FETs) which employ two carefully selected active materials can function as n channel, p channel, or both n- and p-channel devices. It is shown that under an appropriate set of bias conditions the channel current in FETs with α-hexathienylene (α-6T) and C60 active layers consist of ele…
Raman scattering and far-infrared absorption spectra of PbS nanocrystals with radii of 2 nm are presented. The experimental results are consistent with theoretical calculations which account correctly for the mechanical boundary conditions at the nanocrystal-host interface, and include the first observation of the mix…
We study the combined influence of spin double exchange and Jahn-Teller lattice coupling to holes in the ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{A}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ perovskites ( $A\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a},\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{r},\phantom{\rule{0ex}{…
A qualitatively different character of de Haas--van Alphen oscillations has been found in a multiband (quasi)two-dimensional Fermi liquid with a fixed fermion density ${n}_{e}$ (canonical ensemble) compared with an open system where the chemical potential $\ensuremath{\mu}$ is kept fixed (grand canonical ensemble). A…
We find spatial anisotropy in the asymptotic correlations of two-dimensional Ising models under non-equilibrium phase-ordering. Anisotropy is seen for critical and off-critical quenches and both conserved and non-conserved dynamics. We argue that spatial anisotropy is generic for scalar systems (including Potts models…
