Thinner parts (the so-called holes) and thicker parts (islands) move in free-standing smectic films due to gravity if the film is inclined. The velocity of the movement depends on the viscosity coefficient eta3 of the film. Therefore, this measurement is a direct method to determine eta3 in smectic phases. This paper…

Abstract Raw multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were first treated with strongly oxidated acid to form MWNTs–COOH and driven to a high dispersion quality in the dispersing medium via ultrasonic method. Then the MWNTs/poly ( p ‐phenylene benzobisoxazole)(MWNTs–COOH/PBO) nanocomposites were prepared by an in situ polyme…

Abstract Summary: Polyurea with exotic porous structures has been synthesized by the interfacial polymerization between hexane and a series of 1‐alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium room‐temperature ionic liquids (ILs). Scanning electron microscopy micrographs of the polyurea show a macroporous morphology of aggregated polymer p…

An algorithm is presented to derive the twin laws in non-merohedric twins through the systematic search for quasi-perpendicular lattice planes/directions. The twin lattice, i.e. the sublattice common to the whole crystalline edifice built by the twinned individuals, is based on a supercell of the individual defined by…

Abstract The porphyrin‐catalyzed, template‐guided polymerization of aniline was carried out in an aqueous buffer solution. Hydrogen peroxide and iron(III) tetrasulfonated tetraphenyl porphyrin catalyzed the polymerization of aniline in the presence of sulfonated polystyrene as a template. The polymerization was carrie…
