Abstract The effects of SP on the crystallization and dielectric properties of PEG and PE‐ b ‐PEG are studied. POM, SEM, DSC, FTIR, and dielectric spectroscopy are used to analyze the interaction between PEG and SP. The results indicate that the involvement of the nonpolar hydrophobic PE block improves the compatibili…

Quasi-tetragonal BiFeO3 (T-BFO) multiferroic oxide is receiving much attention due to prospects of enhanced ferroelectric polarization and close-to-room-temperature phase transitions. Here, we report on the role of deposition temperature on the stabilization of the T-BFO phase on LaAlO3(001) substrates. T-BFO has only…

Vertically aligned carbon nanotube’s extreme compliance and mechanical energy absorption/dissipation capabilities are potentially promising aspects of their multi-functionality. Mathematical models have revealed that a hardening-softening-hardening material relation can capture the unique sequential, periodic buckling…

We investigate the assembly of spherical and anisotropic colloidal particles with the shape of peanuts when subjected to an external alternating electric field. By varying the strength and frequency of the applied field, we observe that both types of particles form clusters at low frequencies due to attractive electro…

Successful growth of diamond by chemical vapor deposition requires that chemisorbed hydrocarbon species, most notably CH 2 groups, are able to migrate on the growing surface. Quantum mechanical and hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) cluster models are here used to investigate the energetics of CH 2…

A direct observation of exciton diffusion in isotopically engineered 12C/13C diamond junctions is presented. Excitons generated under a focused electron beam in the higher-energy bandgap 13C diamond diffuse and part of them are collected in the lower-energy bandgap 12C diamond, where they recombine. By using cathodolu…

Climatic conditions of the territory where the road is located (air temperature, solar radiation) influence the “work” of asphalt concrete pavements. The influence causes shear deformations at high positive temperatures and the occurrence of cracks at low negative temperatures. In the late 80s, in the USA the asphalt…

Graft copolymerization of Grewia optiva fiber with acrylic acid (AAc) was carried out by using a Ce(IV) redox initiator under two different conditions, i.e. in air and under the influence of microwave radiation. Different reaction conditions affecting grafting percentage (Pg) for both methods were optimized and compar…

A superhydrophobic graphite surface has been fabricated through two facile physical steps, peeling and ultrasonicating. Peeling yields micron-scale roughening, and thus a highly hydrophobic surface is obtained. Further ultrasonicating results in a superhydrophobic surface with nanostructure embedded in microstructure.…
