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.
Abstract In the Affordable Composites from Renewable Resources (ACRES) program at the University of Delaware, soybean oil and other plant triglycerides have been made amenable to polymerization using a broad range of chemical routes. The resultant polymers range in properties from soft rubbers to hard thermosets for c…
Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of nanocrystalline ZnO thin films grown on Si (100) substrates using a sol–gel method has been investigated. From the PL spectra measured in 83–293K, the excitonic emissions and their multiple-phonon replicas have been observed in ultraviolet region, and their origins have…
The electronic structures of complexes of iron containing two S,S'-coordinated benzene-1,2-dithiolate, (L)(2)(-), or 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzenedithiolate, (L(Bu))(2)(-), ligands have been elucidated in depth by electronic absorption, infrared, X-band EPR, and Mossbauer spectroscopies. It is conclusively shown that,…
Abstract Vanadium pentoxide films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and their surface structure evolution in relation to the growth temperature and as a function of lithium intercalation was studied. The deposition was made onto various substrate materials over a wide substrate temperature range of 30–500…
We present evidence for an isostructural, first-order Mott transition in MnO at 105+/-5 GPa, based on high-resolution x-ray emission spectroscopy and angle-resolved x-ray diffraction data. The pressure-induced structural and spectral changes provide a coherent picture of MnO phase transitions from paramagnetic B1 to a…
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…

An investigation of the finite depth square well model is presented in this article: model features and limitations, concerning size dependent band gap of semiconductor quantum structures, are presented and discussed. Model predictions are compared with large sets of experimental data for III–V, II–VI and lead salt se…
The reduction of wood response to variations of ambient humidity, described as kind of ageing, has been studied from both points of view of moisture uptake and dimensional changes. Clearwood specimens from 3 gymnosperms (Pinus sylvestris L., Pinus pinaster Ait., Pinus insignis Dougl.) and 4 angiosperms (Populus spp.,…
We report the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemistry properties of ribbon- and boardlike nanostructures of nickel hydroxide, which crystallize in different phases. The ribbonlike nanostructures (nanoribbons) of nickel hydroxide were synthesized by treating amorphous alpha-Ni(OH)2 with high concentrations of…
The 15-cobalt-substituted polyoxotungstate [Co(6)(H(2)O)(30){Co(9)Cl(2)(OH)(3)(H(2)O)(9)(beta-SiW(8)O(31))(3)}](5-) (1) has been characterized by single-crystal XRD, elemental analysis, IR, electrochemistry, magnetic measurements, and EPR. Single-crystal X-ray analysis was carried out on Na(5)[Co(6)(H(2)O)(30){Co(9)Cl…
The properties of a series of organogels consisting of a urea or thiourea derivative with one or two n-alkyl substitutuents at the nitrogen atoms (a low molecular-mass organogelator (LMOG)) and an organic liquid are described. They include N,N'-dimethylurea, the LMOG of lowest molecular mass (M(W) 88) we are aware of.…
We report the discovery that high-TC ferromagnetism in manganese-doped ZnO (Mn2+:ZnO) can be activated by amine binding and calcination. The activation of ferromagnetism is attributed to the incorporation of uncompensated p-type dopants into the ZnO lattice upon amine calcination, a process that has substantial preced…
It is shown that polycrystalline fullerene thin films on hydrogen passivated Si(111) substrates irradiated by 2 MeV protons displays ferromagnetic-like behavior at 5 K. At 300 K both the pristine and the irradiated film show diamagnetic behavior. Magnetization data in the temperature range 2 - 300 K, in 1 Tesla applie…
We measured the form factor of bottle-brush macromolecules under good solvent conditions with small-angle neutron scattering and static light scattering. The systems under investigation are brushes, synthesized via the grafting-from route, built from a poly(alkyl methacrylate) backbone to which poly(n-butyl acrylate)…
Abstract This paper presents an overview of the recent literature on flame retardancy of polycarbonate (PC) and polycarbonate‐based resins. A brief survey of the major mechanisms of thermal decomposition of PC is also presented because it gives insight in the mechanisms of flame retardant action. Mostly industrial lab…
Scanning electron micrographs of a solvent-extracted sheared polyethylene (PE) blend revealed, for the first time, an unexpected shish-kebab structure with multiple shish. The blend contained 2 wt % of crystallizing ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and 98 wt % of noncrystallizing PE matrix. The formati…
The discovery and selective production of crystalline polymorphs, an outstanding problem in solid-state chemistry, is of great importance industrially in, for example, the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and pigments. Despite considerable efforts, no reliable method exists to produce all of the stable polymorphs of a g…
