Here we consider the relation between the excess wing and the slow beta relaxation, focusing on the degree of the coupling between cooperative rotational motion associated with creation and annihilation of metastable islands (alpha mode) and local rotational jump motion in a cage (slow beta mode). For a strongly coupl…

Abstract Two monomers, ethylenediamine (EDA) and diaminocyclohexane (DACH), were plasma‐polymerized in continuous‐wave (CW) and pulse modes. The influence of different plasma parameters on the deposition rate and film composition were investigated in detail and the changes in aminofunctionalization with varying pulse…

Solute-induced quenching of sonoluminescence (SL) is reported for aqueous solutions of two homologous series of methyl esters and ketones using low (20 kHz) and high (515 kHz) ultrasound frequencies. SL data at 20 kHz from aqueous solutions containing alcohols and carboxylic acids are also presented to compare with pr…

We present measurements on simple foam structures flowing through a narrow channel. Driving pressure and bubble velocity are found to be related by a power law with exponent 2/3, thus extending this relationship from single bubble trains (see Bretherton F. P., J. Fluid Mech. 10 (1961) 166) to more complicated foam str…

AC electric field alignment (see Figure) offers a route to composite films with unusual physical properties, in numerous geometries and applicable to a wide range of organically modified layered silicates. Exchangeable organic cations on the aluminosilicate surface are suspected to cause the induced dipole. Orientatio…

The surfactant-free synthesis of vinyl polymer-silica nanocomposite particles has been achieved in aqueous alcoholic media at ambient temperature in the absence of auxiliary comonomers. Styrene, methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, and 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate were homopolymerized in turn in the…

The influence of polyanilines (PANIs) as hole conductors on the photovoltaic behaviors of dye-sensitized solar cells is studied. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and the incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) curves of the devices are determined as the function of different conductivities and…

Abstract Thermoplastic olefin (TPO)/clay nanocomposites were made with clay loadings of 0.6–6.7 wt %. The morphology of these TPO/clay nanocomposites was investigated with atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X‐ray diffraction. The ethylene–propylene rubber (EPR) particle morphology in…

Because of a large difference in storage modulus below and above the glass transition temperature, poly(acrylic acid- co -methyl methacrylate)/poly(ethylene glycol) (P(AA- co -MMA)/PEG) complexes show shape memory properties with a recovery ratio of nearly reach 99%. Before the shape memory testing, it was necessary t…

Using a simple low‐temperature chemical‐solution method , multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) coated with crystalline multi‐walled europium oxide nanotubes have been successfully synthesized (see Figure). The studies conducted show that such MWCNTs provide an opportunity for synthesising various rare earth oxide na…

We report on the synthesis of single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) by arc discharge between two graphite electrodes submerged in liquid nitrogen. The product in its powder form was found to consist of spherical aggregates with sizes in the range of 50–100 nm. The nanohorns are characterized by transmission electron…

Copper, titanium, and iron with grain sizes of the order of 100 nm were prepared by severe plastic deformation. At 77 K these materials offer very high yield strength coupled with high ductility, uniform tensile strains, and long‐term stability. These properties demonstrate a nanomaterials advantage for science and en…

We individuated a method to distinguish a glass phase from a highly viscous liquid phase in a lattice of vortices, established in type-two superconductors. Our analysis is based on the study of the temperature dependence of numerically obtained 1st and 3rd harmonics curves of the AC magnetic susceptibility, by changin…

We report the first demonstration that carbon nanotubes can be trapped and manipulated by optical tweezers. This observation is surprising because individual nanotubes are substantially smaller than the wavelength of light, and thus should not be amenable to optical trapping. Even so, nanotube bundles, and perhaps eve…
