We have utilized classical molecular dynamics to investigate the mass sensing potential of graphene monolayers, using gold as the model adsorbed atom. In doing so, we report two key findings. First, we find that while perfect graphene monolayers are effective mass sensors at very low (T < 10 K) temperatures, their mas…

Abstract Polyaniline nanocomposite films were chemically synthesized in the presence of alginate template by varying the concentration of TiO 2 in the composites. Characterization of the composite samples by FTIR, UV‐Vis spectra (UV), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) indicates the formation of polyaniline‐alginate/titanium…

A simple and robust device structure for a flexible, multicolor infrared (IR) display is described. The display operates by optical downconversion of AC-driven blue phosphor electroluminescence using different-sized, IR-emitting colloidal quantum dots. Deposition of the IR emissive layer via inkjet printing facilitate…

Abstract The polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes which contains methylacryloylpropyl groups (MAP‐POSS) was synthesized. The MAP‐POSS/PVC nanocomposites were prepared. The influences of composition, shear rate' shear stress on melting rheological behavior of MAP‐POSS/PVC nanocomposites were discussed. The dynamic mec…

Abstract Microporous carbon foams were synthesized as structured catalyst supports by the carbide‐derived carbon (CDC) method. The self‐supporting foams showed a narrow pore size distribution which seems to induce shape‐selective effects during reactions. The applicability of these materials as supports for active met…

Sphere impact experiments are used to calibrate and validate ceramic models that include statistical variability and/or scale effects in strength and toughness parameters. These dynamic experiments supplement traditional characterization experiments such as tension, triaxial compression, Brazilian, and plate impact, w…

We use computer simulation to investigate the self-assembly of Janus-like amphiphilic peanut-shaped nanoparticles, finding phases of clusters, bilayers, and micelles in accord with ideas of packing familiar from the study of molecular surfactants. However, packing arguments do not explain the hierarchical self-assembl…

Abstract Polyaniline/Ag nanocomposites have been synthesized via in situ chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline in silver salt by sonochemical method using H 2 O 2 as an external medium. H 2 O 2 was used to reduce AgNO 3 to Ag nanoparticles as well as to polymerize aniline to polyaniline in the same pot. The ult…

The inelastic deformation mechanisms and damage features observed in structural ceramics subjected to nonpenetrating, high‐velocity impacts are similar to those seen in quasistatic Hertzian indentation, albeit more severe. For impacts on large ceramic bodies (relative to impactor diameter), cone cracking is the primar…
