Flax fibers are investigated as reinforcing agents for biodegradable polyesters (Bionolle and poly(lactic acid) plasticized with 15 wt.-% of acetyltributyl citrate, p-PLLA). The composites are obtained either by high temperature compression molding fiber mats sandwiched between polymer films, or by batch mixing fibers…
Single-chain simulations of densely branched comb polymers, or "molecular bottle-brushes" with side-chains attached to every (or every second) backbone monomer, were carried out by off-lattice Monte Carlo technique. A coarse-grained model, described by hard spheres connected by harmonic springs, was employed. Backbone…
Abstract Summary: Poly(lactic acid) polymers (PLA) are presently the most attractive compounds in the field of artificial degradable and biodegradable polymers. In order to enlarge the family, and thus the range of accessible properties, stereocopolymers and copolymers with various co‐monomers have been synthesized. H…
We present a consistent picture of the respective role of density (rho) and temperature (T) in the viscous slowing down of glassforming liquids and polymers. Specifically, based in part upon a new analysis of simulation and experimental data on liquid ortho-terphenyl, we conclude that a zeroth-order description of the…
Abstract Nanocomposites were prepared with different grades of nitrile rubber with acrylonitrile contents of 19, 34, and 50%, with styrene–butadiene rubber (23% styrene content), and with polybutadiene rubber with Na‐montmorillonite clay. The clay was modified with stearyl amine and was characterized by X‐ray diffract…
Amorphous hydrogenated silicon suboxides $(a\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{SiO}}_{x}:\mathrm{H})$ deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition have a band gap which can be tuned from $1.9$ to 3.0 eV by varying the oxygen content [O] from $0$ to 50 at. %. n- and p-type doping is realized by adding ${\mathrm{PH}}_{3}$…
Abstract Summary: A mixed suspension of the enantiomeric B‐A‐B triblock copolymers, polyoxyethylene‐ block ‐poly( L ‐lactide)‐ block ‐polyoxyethylene (PEG‐PLLA‐PEG) and polyoxyethylene‐ block ‐poly( D ‐lactide)‐ block ‐polyoxyethylene (PEG‐PDLA‐PEG), was found to induce reversible gel‐to‐sol transition depending on th…
Aerosol deposition method (ADM) for shock-consolidation of fine ceramics powder to form dense and hard layers is reported. Submicron ceramic particles were accelerated by gas flow in the nozzle up to velocity of several hundred m/s. During interaction with substrate, these particles formed thick (10 ~ 100 µm), dense,…
We apply an ab initio methodology to model the low index non-stoichiometric surfaces of \ensuremath{\alpha}-alumina, namely the (0001), $(011\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}2),$ $(112\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}3),$ $(112\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}0),$ $(101\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\…
The optically active dopant distribution in a Tm(3+)-Yb(3+) doped silica based glass ceramic sample has been investigated. A systematic analysis of the upconversion fluorescence of the Tm(3+)-Yb(3+) codoped glass and glass ceramic has been performed at room temperature. Tm(3+) and Yb(3+) single doped glass and glass c…
The magnetic excitation spectrum of copper pyrimidine dinitrate, a material containing S=1/2 antiferromagnetic chains with alternating g-tensor and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, and exhibiting a field-induced spin gap, is probed using submillimeter wave electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Ten excitation mod…
The structure and dynamics of atomic oxygen adsorbed on Ag(410) and Ag(210) surfaces have been investigated using density functional theory. Our results show that the adsorption configuration in which O adatoms decorate the upper side of the (110) steps forming O--Ag--O rows is particularly stable for both surfaces. O…
Starting from the Zn17Sc3 cubic approximant, new quasicrystal alloys were sought by replacement of Zn with transition elements T. In the cases when T = Mn, Fe, Co and Ni, new icosahedral quasicrystals are formed in as-cast alloys as major phases at alloy compositions of Zn75T10Sc15. All these quasicrystals belong to a…
Spintronic devices, whose operation is based on the motion of a magnetic domain wall (DW), have been proposed recently. If a DW could be driven directly by flowing an electric current instead of a magnetic field, the performance and functions of such device would be drastically improved. Here we report real-space obse…
Blends and composites based on environmentally degradable-ecocompatible synthetic and natural polymeric materials and fillers of natural origin have been prepared and processed under different conditions. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was used as the synthetic polymer of choice by virtue of its capability to be processed…
During the last decade, significant progress has been achieved in the rapidly growing field of the dynamics of {\it hot} carriers in metals. Here we present an overview of the recent achievements in the theoretical understanding of electron dynamics in metals, and focus on the theoretical description of the inelastic…
Properties of polymer alloys comprising poly(lactic acid) and Nodax copolymers are investigated. Nodax is a family of bacterially produced polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymers comprising 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and other 3-hydroxyalkanoate (3HA) units with side groups greater than or equal to three carbon units. The…
Hyperthermia increases the efficiency of various chemotherapeutic drugs and is administered as an adjunct to chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer patients. The temperature-dependent effect can be strongly increased by the use of temperature-sensitive liposomes in combination with regional hyperthermia, which speci…
Shape-persistent macrocycles with an interior in the nanometer regime allow the attachment of (functional) side groups at defined positions at the ring. These side groups can have either a fixed orientation relative to the molecular backbone or they can adapt their orientation according to an external stimulus. The pr…
The conjugated polymer polyaniline is a promising material for sensors, since its conductivity is highly sensitive to chemical vapors. Nanofibers of polyaniline are found to have superior performance relative to conventional materials due to their much greater exposed surface area. A template-free chemical synthesis i…
