We introduce a Fourier analysis method to design temporal cloaks for hiding events in time domain. The cloaks are constructed with two linear time-invariant filters with different transfer functions, which can create a temporal gap and then closed it orderly, making any events occurring during the gap not detectable o…
The paper aims to give a present status of knowledge on irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) from the point of view of nuclear power plant life extension. Field experience as well as laboratory test results are considered to illustrate how IASCC already impacts plant operation. IASCC has been differe…
Abstract The mechanoelastic model is applied to reproduce the experimental relaxation and thermal transition curves as determined for crystals of pure and diluted {[Fe x Zn 1– x (bbtr) 3 ](ClO 4 ) 2 } ∞ [bbtr = 1,4‐di(1,2,3‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane] spin‐crossover systems. In the mechanoelastic model, the spin‐crossover co…
: We present molecular dynamics simulation of phonon thermal conductivity of semiconductor nanoribbons with an account for phonon quantum statistics. In our semiquantum molecular dynamics simulation, dynamics of the system is described with the use of classical Newtonian equations of motion where the effect of phonon…
The development of a small diameter (≤5 mm) arterial prosthesis requires the appropriate selection of materials, structure and fabrication method so as to provide adequate mechanical properties, superior biocompatibility and precise control over the diameter. In this study, 100% polyester, 100% silk fibroin and a comb…
Phase relations and solidification behavior in the Ge-rich part of the phase diagram have been determined in two isothermal sections at 700 and 750 °C and in a liquidus projection. A reaction scheme has been derived in the form of a Schulz-Scheil diagram. Phase equilibria are characterized by three ternary compounds:…
Polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites were prepared using melt blending technique. Two different commercially available nanoclays, Cloisite 93A (C93A) and Cloisite 30B (C30B) at various wt%, have been used to prepare the nanocomposites. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites have been studied to evaluate the e…
Using molecular dynamics simulation on a glass-forming liquid in three dimensions, we investigate the thermal vibrational motions, the configuration changes caused by stringlike jump motions, and their close correlations. The heterogeneous vibrational motions are visualized in terms of a vibration length Si(t) defined…
Thermoelectric power waves, where multiwalled carbon nanotubes coated with cyclotrimethylene trinitramine (MWCNT/TNA) directly convert chemical energy to electricity, have received considerable attention recently. However, the low Seebeck coefficient of carbon nanotubes has been regarded as a hurdle to increasing the…
Abstract Time‐dependent 17 O NMR spectra of basified decaniobate (Nb 10 O 28 6– ) solutions displayed intense resonances assigned to the well‐known protonated hexaniobate anion (Nb 6 O 19 8– ) and two other species identified as heptaniobate (Nb 7 O 22 9– ) and protonated tetracosaniobate (Nb 24 O 72 24– ) anions. The…
We synthesized green-emitting platinum (Pt) nanoclusters (excitation: 460 nm, emission: 520 nm) by reducing Pt ions from pre-equilibrated Pt/fourth-generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAM (G4-OH)) complexes with a mild reductant. The structural characteristics of the resulting Pt nanoclusters, Pt8L8 (L = C2H2O2S…
Abstract Low‐density polyethylene (LDPE)/starch nanocomposite films were prepared by melt extrusion process. The first step includes the preparation of starch–clay nanocomposite by solution intercalation method. The resultant product was then melt mixed with the main matrix, which is LDPE. Maleic anhydride‐grafted pol…
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the corrosion inhibition of carbon steel (CS) using a "green" inhibitor, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), in an aerated, alkaline medium containing 0.1M NaCl (blank) at pH 9 and pH 10. The effects of some additives, such as KI and untreated Saudi clay (UC) were investigated.
The integration of material systems to include thermal activation and deactivation of shape memory polymers represents a key challenge for adaptive systems. Microvascular fluid flow with hot or cold fluid is used as an energy transport mechanism to activate and deactivate shape memory polymers, where the maximum tempe…
Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolyesters were synthesized by Cupriavidus necator cells in continuous feeding of cosubstrates. During the PHA accumulation phase, the composition of 3‐hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 3‐hydroxyvalerate (3HV), and 4‐hydroxyvalerate (4HV) of the copolyesters changed with time, resulting in a…
It is an honor to introduce this inaugural volume of the new open access journal Nanomaterials and the Environment (NATE). The association of nanomaterials with the environment is a rapidly emerging and often controversial area, and it is important to have a journal that brings together key developments in this expand…
In this article we report on a new hybrid (organic-inorganic) composite material based on hydrophilic, electrically inert and semi-transparent hydrotalcite (HT) nanoparticles and a pHneutral formulation of PEDOT:PSS. The application of this composite material as electrically and optically active buffer layer in P3HT:P…
Shape memory alloys are unique metallic alloys that have the ability to undergo large deformations while reverting back to their original undeformed shape, which provides recentering capabilities to the braced frame. In this article, the seismic response of steel braced frames employing shape memory alloy braces is ev…
We investigate the structure and adsorption of amphiphilic molecules at planar walls modified by tethered chain molecules using density functional theory. The molecules are modeled as spheres composed of a hydrophilic and hydrophobic part. The pinned chains are treated as tangentially jointed spheres that can interact…
Dihydroazulenes are photochromic molecules that reversibly switch between two distinct geometric and conductivity states. Molecular design, surface attachment, and precise control over the assembly of such molecular machines are critical in order to understand molecular function and motion at the nanoscale. Here, we u…
