This review is focused on the influence of interstitial hydrogen and alloy compositional changes on the internal friction (IF) spectrum and elastic Young's modulus (E) of NiTi based shape memory alloys. In the martensitically transforming binary alloys Ni50+xTi50-x (x≤1.3) vacuum annealed and furnace cooled (H-free),…
The structural properties of a new polymorph of a material distributed commercially as “hexaketocyclohexane octahydrate” have been determined directly from powder X-ray diffraction data, employing the direct-space genetic algorithm technique for structure solution followed by Rietveld refinement. It is shown that the…
NiO films were deposited by radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering from a NiO target. A decomposition reaction was found as the films annealed at 400 °C in vacuum. The decomposition increased with increasing annealing temperature and the non-stoichiometry of the film. The electronic and atomic structure of the…
Here, we present a new method to model lateral phase separation in mixed polymer brushes physisorbed to a planar surface with mobile grafting points. The model is based on a local mean field theory that combines a Flory-Huggins approximation for interaction enthalpies with an Alexander-de Gennes brush entropy contribu…
The electronic transport of three kinds of ultrasmall single-wall carbon nanotubes are studied by using nonequilibrium Green’s function method. It is found that the transmission function displays a clear stepwise structure that gives the number of electron channels. The calculated power factor of these nanotubes can b…
Thiol-capped silver nanoparticles were prepared by in situ thermal decomposition of different silver(I)-thiolates precursors in a polymeric matrix. Depending on the structure of the organic coating, contact-free distribution of metal nanoparticles or nanoparticles aggregates were achieved. The structure and morphology…
Surfaces with resistance to non-specific protein adsorption and a high capacity to bind plasminogen from plasma are developed for application as fibrinolytic surfaces in blood contact. A new method is reported for grafting poly(OEGMA-co-HEMA) copolymers on polyurethane surfaces. The OEGMA provides effective protein re…
Expanded graphite oxide (GO) synthesized by graphite oxidation and thermal expansion was exposed to ultrasonic vibration to obtain graphite nanoplatelets (GNFs). Then, expanded GO as conductive filler was dispersed in polypyrrole matrix in order to be utilized as catalyst support. Electrical conductivities and polymer…
This paper reports the dependence of conic angle of nanofibres on the processing and material parameters during electrospinning. Solutions of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in dimethylformamide (DMF) with varied PAN concentrations were studied as the model systems, and they were electrospun into nanofibres at different high…
We present a detailed examination of the design and expected operation of an artificially birefringent material based around the nanostructured stack-and-draw fabrication technique developed recently. The expected degree of birefringence is estimated using a Finite Difference Time Domain simulation of the physical sys…
The structural properties of liquid Ge${}_{2}$Se${}_{3}$were investigated by first-principles molecular dynamics using the Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr scheme for the treatment of the exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory. Our data for the total neutron structure factor and the total pair-distribution fu…
We study the disorder-order transition boundary of wormlile AB diblock copolymers on the basis of the wormlike chain formalism aided by a self-consistent mean-field treatment. We examine the influence of the persistency on the phase diagram and properties of the phase transition as a function of the volume fraction, F…
Using the multiband model we analyze the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction between the magnetic impurities in layered ferropnictide superconductors. In the normal state the interaction is spin isotropic and is dominated by the nesting features of the electron and hole bands separated by the antiferromag…
A kinetic model is developed to simulate the thermal decomposition of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) in cumene with and without oxygen in the reacting system, based on a reaction network that is comprised of a set of 51 reactions. An optimization procedure is adopted to obtain the best estimates for most of the related kineti…
We have developed novel gold-silver alloy nanoshells as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) dual T1 (positive) and T2 (negative) contrast agents as an alternative to typical gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents. Specifically, we have doped iron oxide nanoparticles with Gd ions and sequestered the ions within the core by…
Abstract The electrical conductivity of zinc ferrite (ZFO) thin films can be tuned over 7 orders of magnitude. The conductivity is thermally induced with two activation energies around 40–55 meV and 70–130 meV. Doping of the ZFO films with 1 at% Si or Ge further increases the conductivity. The magnetic hysteresis show…
The carbonation process of a calcined Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) was systematically analyzed at low temperatures, varying the relative humidity. Qualitative and quantitative experiments were performed. In a first set of experiments, the relative humidity was varied while maintaining a constant temperature. C…
Click the switch: By using a photoswitchable click amino acid (PSCaa) a light-induced intramolecular thiol-ene click reaction with a neighboring cysteine under very mild conditions results in an azobenzene bridge. By expanding the genetic code for PSCaa the specific incorporation of photoswitch units into proteins in…
Stable high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) with the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide as dispersed phase were prepared and polymerised thermally into polyHIPEs. All polyHIPEs exhibited pore morphologies similar to that of polyHIPEs obtained with an aqueous dispersed phase. P…
Zeolite Y films (0.35-2.5 μm), into which CdS and PbS quantum dots (QDs) were loaded, were grown on ITO glass. The CdS QD-loaded zeolite Y films showed a photovoltaic effect in the electrolyte solution consisting of Na(2)S (1 M) and NaOH (0.1 M) with Pt-coated F-doped tin oxide glass as the counter electrode. In contr…
