Abstract The chain‐extension behavior of 2,2′‐bis(2‐oxazoline) (BOZ) was studied to evaluate the coupling effect on polyamide‐6 (PA6) in a Haake Rheocord mixer and an extruder. The relative torque of PA6 dramatically increased within 1–2 min, and the results were similar whether the added amount of BOZ in PA6 was the…

A periodic density functional modeling study of the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde on an Ag(111) surface is presented. Methoxide binds strongly to the surface, preferentially to the highest coordination adsorption sites, while methanol and formaldehyde are weakly adsorbed far from the surface, with no p…

We report the results of a neutron powder diffraction study of the yttrium tantalates Y 0.785 Ta 0.215 O 1.715 and Y 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 1.8 . In the orthorhombic fluorite-related Y 0.7 Ta 0.3 O 1.8 compound, the Y and Ta atoms were occupationally ordered, and the oxygen ions were localized at around the stable positions. On…

The effect of encapsulation of C 60 fullerenes upon the buckling strength of hosting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been investigated, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The simulation results show that encapsulating C 60 fullerenes into some CNTs with diameters larger than that of the (10, 10) CNT, in particular…

The electrodynamics near the metal-to-insulator transitions induced, in ${\mathrm{V}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{5}$ single crystals, by both temperature $(T)$ and pressure $(P)$ has been studied by infrared spectroscopy. The $T$ and $P$ dependence of the optical conductivity may be explained within a polaronic scenario. The in…

In this paper we have studied the effect of increasing carbon multi-walled nanotube (CNT) concentration in composites of syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) having the same crystalline form but different morphologies. The attention was focused on the form I of sPP with different degrees of perfection (in terms of percent…

We report on a hybrid chemical sensor that can perform either amperometric or conductometric detection alone or simultaneously. It consists of an array of electrode pairs in which the two electrodes in each pair are separated with micrometer to nanometer-scale gaps. The gaps are bridged with conducting polymer (polyan…

The structures of the catalytically active sites in supported metal catalysts are a long sought after goal. In this study, XAS has been used to establish these structures. The ethene-induced changes in the XAS spectra as a function of temperature and pressure were correlated to changes in the adsorption mode of the hy…

We present a mathematically simple procedure to explain spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum systems. The procedure is applicable to a wide range of models and can be easily used to explain the existence of a symmetry broken state in crystals, antiferromagnets, and even superconductors. It has the advantage that i…

Abstract The effect on mechanical and barrier properties upon addition of glycerol to temperature‐responsive hydrophobically modified (HM) potato starch was studied on free films. The addition of glycerol lowered the glass transition temperature, the storage modulus, and the water vapor permeability (WVP) for the HM s…
