The stator insulation breakdown is a major cause of ac machine failures. Ground insulation defaults are easily detected by classical systems based on leakage current measurements, however the turn-to-turn insulation degradations are more difficult to detect. For large machines, on-line methods, based on partial discha…
Charge density and magnetization density profiles of one-dimensional metals are investigated by two complementary many-body methods: numerically exact (Lanczos) diagonalization, and the Bethe-Ansatz local-density approximation with and without a simple self-interaction correction. Depending on the magnetization of the…
Relaxor ferroelectric PbMg1/3Ta2/3O3 ceramics and thin films were investigated by means of broad-band dielectric, time-domain terahertz (THz), and Fourier-transform infrared (IR) spectroscopy in the frequency range 100 Hz–90 THz at temperatures 100–490 K; the THz and IR spectra were studied from 20 to 900 K. A diffuse…
Signal formation mechanism in piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) of piezoelectric surface layers and thin films on rigid and elastically matched substrates with different dielectric properties is analyzed and compared. This analysis provides the extension of recent studies of clamping effects in thin films in unifor…
Gold nanocages represent a novel class of biocompatible vectors with potential applications in drug delivery, tumor/tissue imaging and photothermal therapy. They are prepared through the galvanic-replacement reaction between Ag nanostructures and HAuCl(4). By controlling the amount of HAuCl(4) added, we can tune the s…
A comprehensive review of the structure‐morphology‐property relations in segmented thermoplastic elastomers (STPE) prepared by the stoichiometric reactions of soft segment oligomers and hard segment precursors is provided. Although the main focus of this study is on linear, segmented, thermoplastic polyurethanes and p…
The deformation, recrystallisation and texture of three magnesium alloy extrusions, AZ31, WE43 and ZC71, have been investigated. The extruded microstructures were partially recrystallised; the nucleation of new grains was associated with boundaries, deformation features and second phase particles. The unrecrystallised…
Composite insulators are considered mature products and a broad range of insulator types is nowadays available, including line insulators, hollow-core insulators and apparatus insulators, for applications ranging from distribution voltages to the highest transmission voltages. This development has created a need to el…
Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we show that metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed using octahedral Zn 4 O(CO 2 ) 6 clusters linked via aromatic carbon ring structures lead to negative thermal expansion (NTE) behavior (from 0 K to melting). We find that MOF-C22 contracts volumetrically by 1.9% over th…
Abstract The modification of epoxy resins with nanoparticles could endow the materials with some superior properties such as broadening of the glass transition temperatures, modest increases in the glassy modulus, low dielectric constant, and significant increases in key mechanical properties. In the last 15 years, so…
[110]-oriented barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) ceramics were prepared by templated grain growth (TGG) method using [110]-oriented BaTiO 3 platelike particles as a template and hydrothermal BaTiO 3 sphere particles with different particle sizes as a matrix. The degree of orientation along the [110] direction, F 110 , was me…
The model of Zhao and Suo can be readily generalized to predict the critical breakdown electric field $E_c$ value of elastomers with arbitrary elastic strain energy function. An explicit expression for $E_c$ is presented for elastomeric thin films under biaxial strain and comparisons are made with experimental data us…
Bipolaron formation in a two-dimensional lattice with harmonic confinement, representing a simplified model for a quantum dot, is investigated by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations. This method treats all interactions exactly and takes into account quantum lattice fluctuations. Calculations of the bipolaron bind…
The structural, cohesive, electronic and optical properties of mixed SiGe:H quantum dots are studied by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations on a representative ensemble of medium size nanoparticles of the form $Si_xGe_{47-x}:H_{60}$. The calculations have been performed in the framework of the hybrid non-loca…
We demonstrate a new solid-state synthesis route to prepare calcium borohydride, Ca(BH4)2, by reacting a ball-milled mixture of CaB(6) and CaH(2) in a molar ratio of 1:2 at 700 bar of H2 pressure and 400-440 degrees C. Moreover, doping with catalysts was found to be crucial to enhance reaction kinetics. Thermogravimet…
Two-step sintering was applied to manufacture fine-grain barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) piezoelectric ceramics from hydrothermally synthesized 100 nm particles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed a small and irregular domain structure in the samples. The sintering condition dependences of density, dielectric cons…
Janus magnetic nanoparticles (~20 nm) were prepared by grafting either polystyrene sodium sulfonate (PSSNa) or polydimethylamino ethylmethacrylate (PDMAEMA) to the exposed surfaces of negatively charged poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)-coated magnetite nanoparticles adsorbed onto positively charged silica beads. Individually…
Nanocomposites of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-cadmium selenide (P3HT-CdSe) were synthesized by directly grafting vinyl-terminated P3HT onto [(4-bromophenyl)methyl]dioctylphosphine oxide (DOPO-Br)-functionalized CdSe quantum dot (QD) surfaces via a mild palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling, thereby dispensing with the need for…
Abstract Crude glycerol – a by‐product of the large scale production of diesel oil from rape – is examined for its possible use as a cheap feedstock for the biotechnological synthesis of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). The glycerol samples of various manufacturers differ in their contamination with salts (NaCl or K 2 S…
Nanotechnology has the potential to impact the treatment of cancer significantly. This review will explore how this potential is beginning to be realized through the design of polymeric nanoparticle delivery systems. Current research is focused on developing biocompatible nanoparticles capable of targeting specific ca…
