We proposed a patterned vertical alignment (PVA) mode controlled by a modified surface with ultraviolet (UV) curable reactive mesogen (RM) mixed with vertical alignment material for a liquid crystal display (LCD) with fast response time. In the surface-controlled PVA (SC-PVA) mode, the RM monomers in the alignment lay…

The synthesis of stable, low toxic, multifunctional, and water-soluble quantum dots (QDs) is of crucial importance for nanobiotechnology. An in situ anionic ring-opening polymerization strategy was successfully employed to grow multihydroxyl hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) from surfaces of aqueous synthesized QDs dir…

We demonstrate that strong interorbital interaction is very efficient to achieve superconductivity due to magnetic fluctuations in the iron pnictides. Fermi-surface states that are coupled by the antiferromagnetic wave vector are often of different orbital nature, causing pair-hopping interactions between distinct $\t…

Polystyrene/silica (PS/SiO(2)) and poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate)/SiO(2) composite latex particles were prepared by surfactant-free emulsion polymerization in the presence of a poly(ethylene glycol) monomethylether methacrylate (PEGMA) macromonomer. The resulting composite particles were stabilized by the negati…

Metallic mirrors will be used as plasma-viewing elements in all optical and laser diagnostic systems in ITER. In the harsh environment of ITER, the performance of mirrors will decrease mainly because of the erosion of their surfaces and deposition of impurities. The deterioration of the optical properties of diagnosti…

Abstract Caged chalcogens : A series of novel, functionalized T n S m cages (T=Ge, Sn; n / m =4:6, 3:4) with terminal COO(H) or COMe groups were synthesized and show further reactivity toward Cu I complexes (an example of which is shown here) and to hydrazines. This led to the generation of functionalized Cu/T/S clust…

We show that efficient photoinduced surface-relief gratings can be inscribed in polymer-azobenzene complexes which are bonded by phenol-pyridine hydrogen bonding. The grating inscription was studied as a function of chromophore concentration and the molecular weight of the host polymer, both of which can be easily tun…

Twinning is one of most prevalent deformation mechanisms in materials. Having established a quantitative theory to predict onset twinning stress ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\text{crit}}$ in fcc elemental metals from their generalized planar-fault-energy (GPFE) surface, we exemplify its use in alloys where the Suzuki effect…

Boron nitride nanofibers (BNNFs) with alignment and large length have been prepared on a large scale by electrospinning the precursor fibers and subsequent nitridation. A multijet/multicollector electrospinning system is constructed by simply arranging three jets and three tip collectors abreast. By this system the al…

Jute fabrics reinforced polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and mixture of PP+PE matrices based composites (50 wt% fiber) were prepared by compression molding. It was found that the mixture of 80% PP + 20% PE hybrid matrices based jute fabrics reinforced composites performed the best results. Gamma radiation (250–10…

The role of proteins in biomineralization has been examined in this work by studying the effect of ovalbumin on the stabilization of metastable CaCO(3) phases. In the absence of ovalbumin, the mixing of Na(2)CO(3) with CaCl(2) in an aqueous solution led to the formation of metastable phases that swiftly transformed in…
