This paper describes the tensile, impact, flexural properties and aging behavior of short banana fiber reinforced polyester composites with special reference to the effect of fiber length and fiber content. Maximum tensile strength was observed at 30 mm fiber length while impact strength gave the maximum value for 40…
Multilayer thin films comprised of sequentially adsorbed layers of partially doped polyaniline and a polyanion, sulfonated polystyrene, were fabricated via the use of a simple layer-by-layer molecular-level processing scheme. Using this simple multilayer polymer adsorption process, uniform thin films of polyaniline in…
The electronic dynamics of gold nanocrystals, passivated by a monolayer of alkylthiol(ate) groups, were studied by transient spectroscopy after excitation with subpicosecond laser pulses. Three solution-phase gold samples with average particle size of 1.9, 2.6, and 3.2 nm with size distribution less than 10% were used…
The distribution and orientation of platelet‐shaped particles of α‐alumina in a fine‐grained alumina matrix is shown to template texture development via anisotropic grain growth. The textured microstructure ranges from 4 wt% oriented platelet particles in calcined samples to nearly 100% oriented α‐Al 2 O 3 grains afte…
The fiber morphology of the dragline silk of Nephila clavipes has been investigated by the detailed analysis of wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns. WAXD gives the crystal lattice dimensions, the orientation distribution, the crystalline fraction, and an estimate of the crystal size. It is found that the crys…
The influence of Mott-Hubbard electron-electron correlations on the electronic structure and structural stability of uranium dioxide (UO2) has been analysed using the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) + U approach. We have found that the inclusion of a term describing the Hubbard on-site repulsion between 5f ele…
A variable-temperature, -pressure, and -ionic strength (1)H NMR study of the DOTA complexes of different trivalent cations (Sc, Y, La, Ce --> Lu) (DOTA = 1,4,7,10-tetraaza-1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carboxymethyl)cyclododecane) yielded data that are in contradiction with the hitherto used model of only two enantiomeric pairs o…
Superlattices consisting of alternating layers of extremely thin films often demonstrate strong quantum size effects that have been utilized to improve conventional devices and develop new ones. The interfaces in these structures also affect their thermophysical properties through reflection and transmission of heat c…
A new method has been used to obtain pore size characteristics of MCM-41 catalyst supports and vanadium-substituted MCM-41 catalysts. The approach is based on the nonlocal density functional theory (NLDFT) model for nitrogen and argon adsorption in MCM-41, proposed recently. Samples with pore sizes varying from ca. 25…
The optical absorption edge and the near-absorption edge characteristics of undoped ZnO films grown by laser ablation on various substrates have been investigated. The band edge of films on C [(0001)] and R-plane [(1102)] sapphire, 3.29 and 3.32 eV, respectively, are found to be very close to the single crystal value…
Molecular oxygen forms a reversible charge transfer complex (CTC) with poly(3-alkylthiophenes). The complex is weakly bound but possesses a distinct absorption band in the visible region. The electronic properties of the neutral polymer are modulated by the CTC. The extent of modulation of these properties is proporti…

Self‐ordering of the cell arrangement of the porous structure of anodic alumina has been studied in a sulfuric acid solution. Ordering of the cell arrangement was dependent on the applied potential, and a highly ordered structure was obtained under anodization at a constant potential of 25 to 27 V. Self‐ordering of th…
The molecular-level layer-by-layer processing of polyaniline with a variety of different nonionic water soluble polymers has been demonstrated. This new type of layer-by-layer adsorption process is driven by hydrogen-bonding interactions and has been accomplished with poly(vinylpyrrolidone), poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(…
Sculptured thin films with three dimensional microstructure controlled on the 10 nm scale were fabricated with an evaporation technique. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) and substrate motion were employed to “sculpt” columnar thin film microstructure into desired forms ranging from zigzag shaped to helical to four-sid…
To understand the role of structure on the position of the octahedral Fe 3 + / Fe 2 + redox couple in compounds having the same polyanions, four iron phosphates: Li 3 Fe 2 ( PO 4 ) 3 , LiFeP 2 O 7 , Fe 4 ( P 2 O 7 ) 3 , and LiFePO 4 were investigated. They vary in structure as well as in the manner in which the octahe…
The optical absorption spectra of a series of nanocrystal gold molecules larger, crystalline Au clusters that are passivated by a compact monolayer of n -alkylthiol(ate)s have been measured across the electronic range (1.1−4.0 eV) in dilute solution at ordinary temperature. Each of the ∼20 samples, ranging in effectiv…

We obtained polymer-nematic liquid crystal composite films by the solvent induced phase separation (SIPS) method. We used a novel polymer obtained by the synthesis of a macromolecular structure with a matrix basis of methyl methachrylate and a chromophore group with extended conjugation (MMA + I) and the nematic liqui…
The diffusion equations of spinodal decompositions with unique diffusivities for each species are derived for binary systems and ternary systems. These dynamic equations are linearized to show that the minimum size for growth is independent of diffusivity and is identical to the thermodynamic minimum on phase volume.…
