We investigate structural and electronic properties of graphene-based one-dimensional (1D) superlattices by means of first-principles calculations. The 1D superlattices are modeled by three different chemical and structural modifications of the carbon lattice. We study partial hydrogenation of graphene, substitution o…

Abstract Near-field interactions in an array of electric inductive–capacitive (ELC) resonators are investigated analytically, numerically and experimentally. The measurement and simulation results show that inter-cell coupling plays an important role in determining the response of metamaterials. A quasistatic dipole–d…

We demonstrate that C,N-codoped InOOH microspheres could be prepared by using a facile citric acid assisted hydrothermal method at 220 °C. The citric acid could not only act as a complexing agent to control the morphology and the size, but also serve as a carbon source and a reducing agent for C and N codoping. The co…

Abstract Poly(lactic acid) ( PLA ) is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester, but its brittleness makes it unsuitable for many packaging and appliance applications. The goal of the work reported was to create novel poly(ester urethane)s that incorporate biodegradable poly(lactic acid) diols ( PLA‐OHs ) and good mechanica…

This paper presents the optically controllable light scattering based on dye-doped liquid crystals (DDLCs) in a cell, whose substrates are coated with poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) films. The optical control mechanism is the light-induced dissolution of PVK in DDLCs, which reforms the disordered LC distribution into mu…

Abstract Alumina whiskers were melt‐mixed with polyamide 12 to obtain new composites with high performance properties and similar processability of neat polyamide. Three kinds of alumina whiskers were used to prepare composites (purified fibers, ribbon‐shaped fibers and silica‐coated fibers). The rheology, morphology…
