Abstract The kinetic parameters of homogeneous nucleation of KCl in different ethanol‐water solvent mixtures were determined at 25°C from the experimental measurements of the width of the metastable zone at different cooling rates. The ethanol mass ratio in the ethanol water solvent mixture was varied from 0‐0.9 and t…

The addition of homopolymers to a self-assembling rod−coil block copolymer is demonstrated to be a flexible route toward domain size control. Molecular weight matched rod-like homopolymers interdigitate with the rod-blocks within their respective lamellae. As a result of the interdigitation, the coil blocks must rearr…

In this paper, we report on modification of the structural, optical, vibrational, and surface morphological properties of 2 MeV N(+)-ion irradiated WO(3) thin films at different fluences (up to 1 × 10(15) ions cm(-2)). Although we observe irradiation induced grain growth, no structural phase transition takes place in…

The adsorption-desorption phenomenon of neutral particles dissolved in an isotropic fluid is investigated by using a nonsingular kernel in the kinetic equation at the limiting surfaces. To account for the relevance of a memory effect, three types of kernels in the kinetic equation are considered. Similar kernels have…

This review deals with the role of electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling in quantum transport of carbon nanotubes. First, the case of low-energy phonons and weak localization phenomena is addressed, followed by a summary of inelastic scattering lengths within the Fermi golden rule. A second part outlines the contribution of…

Abstract Layer‐multiplying coextrusion was used to fabricate assemblies of 257 layers, in which polypropylene (PP) nanolayers alternated with thicker polystyrene (PS) layers. The PP layer thickness was varied from 12 to 200 nm. When the assembly was heated into the melt, interfacial instability‐driven breakup of the t…

Traditionally, large quantities of ceramic fillers are added to polymers in order to obtain high thermally conductive polymer composites, which are used for electronic encapsulants. However, that is not cost effective enough. In this study, Si3N4 particle filled epoxy composite with a novel structure was fabricated by…
