We examine the effect of composition fluctuations on the stability of the orthorhombic Fddd network phase in the diblock copolymer melt phase diagram within the self-consistent Hartree approximation to the Landau-Brazovskii theory. For weak fluctuations, the Fddd structure is an equilibrium phase; however, stronger fl…

Two series of self-organized hexagonal arrays of uniaxial Permalloy nanowires are grown by electroplating, filling of nanopores in anodic alumina films. Nanowires with periodicities of 65 and 105nm and wire diameter of 25–60nm were investigated by magnetization and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements. The lengt…

Carbon black is widely used as an active filler in the rubber industry to improve the physical properties of rubber. The surface energy of carbon black is high compared to that of various elastomers like styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR) and ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM). The work aims at…

Abstract Only few composites with tailored thermal expansivity exist, even fewer with negative thermal expansivity fillers, and none are well characterised. Zirconium tungstate has an isotropic negative coefficient of thermal expansivity, and the overall coefficient of thermal expansivity (CTE) of a range of zirconium…

Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 (BIT) coprecipitated powders sinter in the presence of a transitory liquid phase, which strongly enhances the diffusion of matter and also the anisotropic growth of BIT grains. However, by coating the surface of BIT particles with WO 3 the aspect ratio of the platelets can be controlled. This, in additi…

Twenty thermophilic/thermotolerant fungal strains were isolated from compositing soils and screened for production of different enzymes (Endoglucanases, β-glucosidase, Fpase and xylanases) to assess their deinking efficiency. Three isolates, Aspergillus sp. AMA, Aspergillus terreus AN1,and Myceliophthora fergusii T4I,…

A TiNi/diamond-like-carbon (DLC) microcage has been designed for biological applications. The structure is composed of a top layer of TiNi film and a bottom layer of highly compressively stressed DLC for upward bending once released from the substrate. The fingers of the microcage quickly close through the shape memor…

Facing up to matters: Template-assisted cofacial assembly of a ring-shaped polyoxomolybdate cluster (MC) by an oligomeric p-phenylenebutadiynylene rigid rod molecule bearing ammonium ion pendant groups (PBn) allowed for the formation of an inorganic/organic one-dimensional (1D) nanoobject. Studies indicate that the 1D…

The smallest size of a spin crossover particle which still exhibits hysteric behavior is an open question. It is clear that spin crossover is a cooperative phenomenon, which implies the dependence of the high spin fraction variation on the number of molecules within the system. We use the “atom-phonon coupling” model…

The combined‐stage sintering model was used to determine the activation energy, Q , of sintering for selected SiC‐based materials. SiC densified with a liquid (1.65 wt% Al) had an activation energy of 842±79 kJ/mol, a value between those for a silicon carbide densified with 1 wt% C and 0.25 wt% B 4 C ( Q =643±37 kJ/mo…

SmCo alloys form the basis of excellent permanent magnets with potential service applications to 500°C. It is suspected, however, that their oxidation behavior may limit their usefulness but this is a relatively unstudied subject. Two grades of Sm2(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)17-based alloys were aged in air at temperatures between 3…
