We first succeeded in preparing ferromagnetic materials of SmCo(5) nanoparticles in sizes of single nanometers by a chemical route using a polyol process. In order to produce ferromagnetic SmCo(5) nanoparticles with a CaCu(5)-type structure, the chemical preparation was conducted under a molar ratio of 1:1.3 of Sm:Co…

Preferential interactions between self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) terminated with amine functional groups and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were exploited to produce nanotube networks (SWNTnts) via spin coating. We provide insight into the mechanisms of this system while simultaneously demonstrating a facile…

A promising method for the production of few-layer graphene (FLG) is microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (MW PECVD). However, the growth mechanism of PECVD-synthesized FLG is not completely understood. The aim of this work was to investigate the initial stages of the growth process of FLG deposited by…

Nanoscale Ag semishell arrays with controlled size and tunable interparticle distance were prepared by combining nanosphere lithography with reactive ion etching. First, a large-area ordered monolayer of polystyrene (PS) nanospheres was deposited on glass substrates using the Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) technique. The PS s…

In this paper, we report the functionalization of the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with Au dendrimer encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs). The results show that, when pristine MWNTs having hydrophobic surfaces are exposed to DENs, the dendrimers aggregate on the MWNT surface. However, when the MWNTs ar…

The process of coherent creation of particle-hole excitations by an electric field in graphene is quantitatively described beyond linear response. We calculate the evolution of current density, number of pairs and energy in ballistic regime for electric field $E$ using the tight-binding model. While for ballistic flig…

A simple synthesis of dipolar one- and two-dimensional chromophores bearing two or three 4H-pyran-4-ylidene moieties is reported. Whereas the pyranylidene fragments acting as donors are proaromatic, the spacer one is not. In the linear derivatives, chain elongation gives rise to a sharp increase in the second order no…

The NR/MWCNT nanocomposites were prepared by incorporation of MWCNT at different loading using two different methods, i.e., mechanical and solution mixing. For NR/MWCNT that prepared by mechanical mixing method, the results show that the scorch and cure time decrease with increasing MWCNT loading. The tensile modulus…
