Abstract We have demonstrated a general template synthesis halloysite‐based composite nanotube. Starting from a parent halloysite nanotube, polymer composite nanotubes were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The shell thickness and the cavity size of the polymer composite nanotubes were tunabl…

We investigate the effects of particle size and shape on the quadrupolar (Saturn-ring-like) defect structures formed by a nematic liquid crystal around nm-sized and mum -sized particles with spherical and spherocylindrical shapes. We also report results for the potentials of mean force in our systems, calculated using…

The Rayleigh–Taylor instability of two immiscible fluids in the limit of small Atwood numbers is studied by means of a phase-field description. In this method, the sharp fluid interface is replaced by a thin, yet finite, transition layer where the interfacial forces vary smoothly. This is achieved by introducing an or…

In this study, the association ("electrostatic self-assembly") of cationic generation 4 poly(amidoamine) dendrimer with a set of oppositely charged aromatic and aliphatic organic sulfonate counterions was investigated. Aggregate size and shape depend on the counterion structure. Formation of defined assemblies was pos…

Abstract Network (sponge) and cellular structures are often seen in various types of materials. Materials with such structures are generally characterized by light weight and high mechanical strength. The usefulness of such materials is highlighted, for example, by the remarkable material properties of bone tissue, wh…

A generalized approach to attain spinnability in polymer solutions in electrospinning using emulsions is described. By using emulsions, low-molecular weight (MW) polymer solutions that tend to electrospray can be spun into nanofibers. Additionally, control over fiber properties independent of polymer solution viscosit…

We report on investigations on the atomic dynamics and the static structure factors of binary ${\text{Ni}}_{36}{\text{Zr}}_{64}$ alloy melts. In order to undercool the melts deeply below the melting temperature and to avoid reactions with crucible materials, the liquids are containerlessly processed by the application…
