We study the effects of spatial dispersion or nonlocality in the calculation of the Hamaker coefficient. Using a hydrodynamic model to describe the dielectric function of the materials, we show that at small separations, less that 10 nm, the Hamaker coefficient decreases significantly when a nonlocal dielectric is use…

Abstract The surface stability of five terminations (BaTiO, TiO, Ba, O 2 , and O) for the polar (110) BaTiO 3 surface is systematically studied by first‐principle calculations. The surface grand potential is calculated and compared, taking into account the influence of the chemical environment as function of the relat…

Interstitial loops are one of the principal evolving defects in irradiated materials. The evolution of interstitial loops, including spatial and size distributions, affects both vacancy and interstitial accumulations in the matrix, hence, void formation and volumetric swelling. In this work, a phase-field model descri…

A SnOW-bound polyoxometalate: Targeted incorporation of {SnOMe}3+ into lacunary {W5O18}6− has been achieved by hydrolytic self-assembly. The [(MeO)SnW5O18]3− ion undergoes a reversible one-electron reduction, shows a large upfield shift of the Wax resonance in the 183W NMR spectrum and has a calculated HOMO–LUMO gap o…

Rubber wastes cause severe damages for the environment when unsuitably disposed in the environment and represent a challenger for mechanical recycling, because the vulcanized rubber is formed by a tridimensional network with intermolecular sulfur crosslinks. Microwave radiation can lead to the breaking of sulfur cross…

The effect of texture on grain boundary character distribution (GBCD) in thermomechanically processed oxygen-free high-conductivity copper has been investigated. Copper samples were cold rolled to a reduction in thickness of 50% and then annealed for 60 min in the range of 400–600°C. GBCD and texture were measured usi…

Abstract Acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (ABS)/functionalized‐graphene nanocomposites were synthesized using the solution‐blending method in chloroform. A dispersion of graphite oxide was added to a solution of the ammonium salt of octadecylamine (C18) to form octadecylamine‐graphene (C18‐graphene), which was then use…

Abstract The fabrication of three‐dimensional (3D) electrospun composite scaffolds was presented in this study. Layers of electrospun meshes made from composites of poly(lactide‐ co ‐glycolide acid) (PLGA) and hydroxyapatite (HA) were stacked and sintered using pressurized gas. Three HA concentrations of 5, 10, and 20…

Cross-linked polymers prepared by the in-situ polymerization of liquid-crystalline salts were found to work as solid-state hosts with a flexible framework. As a component of such hosts, four kinds of polymerizable amphiphilic carboxylic acids bearing alkyl chains with acryloyloxy (A), dienyl (D), and/or nonreactive (N…

Polymer micelles are promising drug delivery vehicles for the delivery of anticancer agents to tumors. Often, anticancer drugs display potent cytotoxic effects towards cancer cells but are too hydrophobic to be administered in the clinic as a free drug. To address this problem, a polymer micelle was designed using a t…

The equilibrium properties of polymer droplets on a soft deformable surface are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations of a bead-spring model. The surface consists of a polymer brush with irreversibly end-tethered linear homopolymer chains onto a flat solid substrate. We tune the softness of the surface by var…
