Abstract A simple intercalating agent‐free approach to prepare epoxy/montmorillonite (MMT) clay nanocomposite is reported. Through this new approach, no organic modifiers are needed. Thus, the cost for preparing polymer nanocomposites can be significantly reduced. The extent of dispersion and exfoliation of clay in ep…

We derive expressions for the effective diffusion coefficient of Richardson's pairs in plastically strained solids as a function of the pair separation distance R. We predict that a crossover from superdiffusive to diffusive mixing takes place when R becomes comparable to the coherence length of the shearing events un…

The wettability by water of polyelectrolyte mono‐ and multilayers with different polycations or polyanions as the exposed layer is studied by contact angle measurements using the sessile drop technique. Measurements in a water‐saturated atmosphere and in ambient conditions [∼40% relative humidity (r.h.)] are made to s…

We apply Gans theory to fit the absorption spectra of gold nanorods with aspect ratios R ≤ 2.5 in solution using both the longitudinal and transversal surface plasmon resonance absorption peaks and the dielectric constant of the medium, ε m, as a fitting parameter. By fitting the broadened absorption peaks using the a…
