Abstract A natural fiber hybrid composite containing equal proportions of kenaf fibers (KFs) and wood flour (WF) as the reinforcements and polypropylene (PP) as the polymer matrix was prepared, and its static and dynamic mechanical properties were compared with KF/PP and WF/PP composites. Static tensile and flexural t…
The present contribution reports the unlubricated friction and wear properties of Ti 3 SiC 2 against steel. The fretting experiments were performed under varying load (1–10 N) and the detailed wear mechanism is studied using SEM‐EDS, Raman spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Under the selected fretting conditio…
The knowledge of the inelastic double differential scattering cross section (DDSCS) is of utmost importance for microanalysis in electron energy loss spectrometry (EELS) in the electron microscope and for the investigation of electron energy loss near edge structure (ELNES). Calculations are usually based on a nonrela…
Abstract Water‐soluble, electrically conductive polyaniline (PANI)–poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blends of different compositions (10, 30, 50, and 70 w/w) were synthesized by emulsion and inverted emulsion methods with ammonium persulfate and benzoyl peroxide as the oxidants, respectively, with PANI protonated with sulfos…
Abstract The strain‐induced crystallization of natural rubber (NR) was investigated by the measurement of the tear energy of a crosslinked blend consisting of NR and noncrystalline styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR). When NR was dispersed into the SBR matrix, the tear energy of SBR increased at various temperatures and te…
The influence of Co2+ ions on the homogeneous nucleation of ZnO is examined. Using electronic absorption spectroscopy as a dopant-specific in-situ spectroscopic probe, Co2+ ions are found to be quantitatively excluded from the ZnO critical nuclei but incorporated nearly statistically in the subsequent growth layers, r…
Phthalocyanine−perylene derivative blends present a homogeneous columnar hexagonal mesophase in a wide temperature range. This mesophase is highly stabilized and ordered compared to the one of pure phthalocyanine.
The origin of the insulating ground states and the charge disproportionation in the two Fe-based perovskite oxides, viz., $\mathrm{Ca}\mathrm{Fe}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ and ${\mathrm{La}}_{1∕3}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{2∕3}\mathrm{Fe}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$, are examined from ab initio electronic structure calculations based on the density-…
Aluminum titanate (Al 2 TiO 5 ) is a promising engineering material because of its low thermal expansion coefficient, excellent thermal shock resistance, good refractoriness, and nonwetting with most metals. However, it is susceptible to thermal dissociation in the temperature range of 800°–1280°C, which degrades its…
We report on a new synthetic method for mesoporous titania/silica (MTS), which is framed by titania-coated silica nanospheres. The MTS has extremely high thermal stability (stable up to 1000 °C), a high surface area (690−480 m 2 /g), a high pore volume (0.65−2.16 cm 3 /g), and a narrow pore size distribution. The anat…
Layered thin films composed of avidin and 2-iminobiotin-labeled poly(ethyleneimine) (ib-PEI) were prepared by a layer-by-layer deposition of avidin and ib-PEI on a solid surface, and the disintegration induced by changing environmental pH and adding biotin in the solution was studied. The avidin/ib-PEI layered film co…
Diarylethene derivatives having imino nitroxide and nitronyl nitroxide have been prepared to examine the effect of the radical substituents on the photochromic reactivity of 1,2-bis(2-methyl-1-benzothiophen-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene. These radical substituents reduce the quantum yields of both cyclization and cyclore…
A photoinduced transition in an azobenzene-containing liquid crystal leads to a phase that does not exist in the thermal cycle. The smectic A phase is induced and stabilized only in the presence of UV light, producing fan-shaped focal conic textures typical of the SmA phase, as observed by polarized-light microscopy (…
Abstract A series of water‐based polyurethane dispersions were synthesized by the polyaddition of isophorone diisocyanate, poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol, and dimethylol propionic acid as prepolymers, which were end‐capped and crosslinked with 3‐aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS) to produce silylated polyurethane di…
CuO powders with a high specific surface area are shown to be able to produce H(2)O(2) in aqueous solution under simulated light irradiation. The highest rate of peroxide production was observed under mild experimental conditions using O(2) and a large surface area photocatalyst CuO irradiated with a solar simulator h…
Abstract Samples of polyurethane nanocomposites were synthesized using diphenylmethane diisocyanate, poly(ε‐caprolactone) diol, di(ethylene glycol), and a clay functionalized by hydroxyl groups. The inorganic content in the hybrids was 2 wt %, 4 wt %, and 8 wt %. The X‐ray analysis showed that exfoliation occurred for…
A multistate chiroptical macromolecular switch based on the redox behavior of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units has been prepared from a chiral TTF functionalized with an isocyanide group. Polymerization takes place diastereoselectively due to an unusually long-range chiral induction, yielding a helical backbone with org…
Abstract As‐received and washed jute fabrics were used as reinforcement for a thermoset resin. The mild treatments performed on the jute fabrics did not significantly affect their physical and thermal behaviors. The washed fibers absorbed less water than the unmodified (as received) ones, indicating that the coating u…
Recent work has shown that atom motion in liquids is not completely homogeneous, but that stringlike cooperative motion can be used to explain several properties of liquids. We now show that with increasing concentration the properties of interstitial atoms in crystalline materials smoothly approach and eventually com…
We demonstrate a method for embossing titania sol--gel precursor with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) molds to make thin films of titania that have dense arrays of 35--65 nm diameter pores, whose features are 1 order of magnitude smaller than those previously demonstrated for sol--gel molding. We show that the high m…
