We have studied the possibility of making biocompatible, conductive patterns on a substrate by controlling the lateral growth rate of conducting polymers upon electropolymerization. Surface modification with heparin was found to enhance the lateral growth of polypyrrole, especially in the presence of dodecylbenzenesul…
Abstract The present work reports an investigation on the modification of conducting polyaniline (PANI) characteristics favorably on blending with the neutral polymer, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) in a systematic variation of their molar ratios (aniline : PVP = 4 : 1, 2 : 1, 1 : 1, 1 : 2, and 1 : 3). Prepared by prec…
Co(III) complexes of N(3)O-donor tripodal ligands, 2,4-di(tert-butyl)-6-{[bis(2-pyridyl)methyl]aminomethyl}phenolate (tbuL), 2,4-di(tert-butyl)-6-{[bis(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]aminomethyl}phenolate (tbuL(Mepy)(2)), were prepared, and precursor Co(II) complexes, [Co(tbuL)Cl] (1) and [Co(tbuL(Mepy)(2))Cl] (2), and ter…
We report a novel method of detecting the glass --> liquid transition at high pressures, which comprises measuring the relative volume change incurred upon heating glassy samples into the liquid state. We show data on glycerol in the pressure range 0.050-1.00 GPa to demonstrate the viability of the method. The reversi…
Abstract Background: Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/polyamide‐6 (PA‐6) blends are promising for engineering and food‐packaging applications. However, their poor toughness limits their use. In this study, an ethylene–acrylate–(maleic anhydride) terpolymer (E‐AE‐MA) was added to PET/PA‐6 blends in order to improve t…
The authors report dynamic and coagulation properties of a dispersion of polyelectrolyte multilayer microcapsules filled with solutions of a strong polyelectrolyte. Microcapsules are shown to take a charge of the sign of encapsulated polyions and are characterized by a nonuniform distribution of inner polyions, which…
Polycrystalline halosulphate phosphors are prepared by a wet chemical method. Strong thermoluminescence (TL) was observed in KZnSO4Cl, KMgSO4Cl, Na3SO4F and NaMgSO4F hosts. In these hosts Ce, Dy; Ce, Mn and Ce, Tb the Ce3+ ions acting as sensitizers and Dy3+, Mn2+and Tb3+ ions as activators. The TL glow curves of thes…
This paper presents research seeking to experimentally verify the effectiveness of a thermal switch used in series with thermoelectric devices for waste heat recovery for constant and variable source heat input and for variable source thermal capacitance (mass). Using an experimental setup composed serially of a fixed…
Light reflection from an optically smooth yet atomically rough film on a smooth solid substrate formed by deposition or erosion is a convenient source of information on morphology and chemical makeup of the film. We show that changes in optical reflectivity for $s$-polarized (TE mode) and $p$-polarized (TM mode) compo…
We fabricated an efficient organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) composed of polymer Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film. The pi-conjugated polymer LB film, which was constructed from a poly(N-dodecylacrylamide) (pDDA) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (PHT) mixture, was used as a conduction channel layer to connect source and d…
We extend the mean-field potential (MFP) approach for evaluating the vibrational contribution of the lattice ion of high-symmetry metals, and present a modified MFP approach which can be applied to low-symmetry or complex structure crystals. Based on the modified MFP approach in which the effect of the structural para…
We present results of electronic structure calculations for the room-temperature cubic phase of ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ magnetite using $\mathrm{GGA}+U$. We use a lower-symmetry, orthorhombic structure that allows for two independent octahedral sites. For low values of the Hubbard cross-correlation paramet…
The objective of this study was to determine whether fiber type, fiber angle, and filler material affected the in-plane thermal conductivity of thin (7-15 mils thickness) carbon fiber composites. Two sets of samples were tested: low thermal conductivity samples made with polyacrylonitrile-based fibers (k = 6.8 W/m .K)…
Abstract A reactive organic montmorillonite clay (VMMT), modified with (4‐vinylbenzyl) triethylammonium cations, has been prepared and used as a nanofiller to reinforce a corn‐oil‐based polymer resin. The polymer resin was prepared by the cationic polymerization of conjugated corn oil, styrene and divinylbenzene, usin…
Abstract Nanocomposites from polyurethane (PU) and montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared under melt‐mixing condition, by a twin screw extruder along with a compatibilizer to enhance dispersion of MMT. MMT used in this study was Cloisite 25A (modified with dimethyl hydrogenated tallow 2‐ethylhexyl ammonium) or Cloisite 3…
An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of the morphology of carbon nanotubes on the thermal conductivity of suspensions. Three different types of carbon nanotubes, classified by aspect ratio well their aqueous suspensions, were prepared and characterized through the analyses of Raman spectroscop…
The synthesis of novel hyperbranched carbohydrate polymers, prepared by the ring-opening multibranching polymerizations of anhydro and dianhydro sugars, is described. The hyperbranched carbohydrate polymers were formed by the cationic polymerization of 1,6-anhydro-beta-D-hexopyranose, 1,4-anhydrotetritol, 2,3-anhydrot…
The addition of NaNO 3 to the reaction mixture of hexagonal SBA-15 changes the product to a Ia 3̄ d cubic phase. To understand the specific action of the salt, electron-spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) spectroscopy was applied. It allowed us to follow the local concentration of the individual ions within the mice…
Abstract Background: Rosin‐based nucleating agents, as natural products, do not have any toxicity; hence they could be used in the industrial processing of polypropylene for the manufacture of food containers. As a result they have been the subject of considerable scientific interest in the literature. In this paper,…
Janus nanoparticles represent a unique nanoscale analogue to the conventional surfactant molecules, exhibiting hydrophobic characters on one side and hydrophilic characters on the other. Yet, direct visualization of the asymmetric surface structures of the particles remains a challenge. In this paper, we used a simple…
