Pretilt angle effect on the dark-state light leakage and viewing angle of in-plane switching (IPS) liquid crystal display is investigated. As the liquid crystal (LC) pretilt angle increases, the light leakage becomes more severe and the off-axis light leakage from the out-of-plane LC directors cannot be neglected. Int…

Abstract Highly delaminated dispersions of the organically modified clay I‐28 (Nanocor, Inc.) in liquid dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) were prepared. In situ ring‐opening metathesis polymerization of I‐28/DCPD nanodispersions generated I‐28/poly(DCPD) nanocomposites. When clay/DCPD dispersions were cured under shear, alignm…

Abstract Summary: A theoretical model describing aggregation of filler particles in amorphous elastomers is proposed. The model is based on a counting technique originally used in genome analysis to characterize the size and distribution of overlapping segments randomly placed on a DNA molecule. In the present model,…

The problem of degenerate ground states of open-shell atoms is investigated in spin-restricted and spin-unrestricted density functional theories using the exact-exchange energy functional. For the spin-unrestricted case, spurious energy splittings of the order of 2-3 kcal/mol are found for atoms of the second and thir…

A novel Cu(II)2 complex of the [18]ane-N6 macrocycle ([18]ane-N6 = 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaazacyclooctadecane) was prepared from the reaction between [18]ane-N6 and Cu(II) salts such as Cu(NO3)2 and Cu(OAc)2. A structural study of the complex derived from Cu(OAc)2 (1) revealed a Cu(II)2 core encircled by a [18]ane-N6 ligan…

Abstract Organophilic montmorillonite intercalants were prepared by a cation‐exchange process between Na + ions of montmorillonite and ammonium salt of octadecylamine. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry and X‐ray diffraction analyses of the compounds were carried out. The layer spacings of both modified an…

Effects of charge-density fluctuations on a phase behavior of the restricted primitive model are studied within a field-theoretic formalism. We focus on a lambda line of continuous transitions between charge-ordered and charge-disordered phases that is observed in several mean-field theories, but is absent in simulati…
