Using a first-principles method, we study field emission properties of double-wall carbon nanotubes with various end geometries and combinations of inner and outer walls. The open double-wall nanotubes exhibit substantial contribution to the emission current from the extended π states. These states are insensitive to…

In this work we investigate the variation of the local structure around ${\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+}$ as well as the crystal structure in ${\mathrm{Rb}}_{2}{\mathrm{CuCl}}_{4}{({\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O})}_{2}$ through x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) as a function of pressure. We show that the a…

Abstract Random and block copolymerizations of L ‐ or D ‐lactide with ε‐caprolactone (CL) were performed with a novel anionic initiator, (C 5 Me 5 ) 2 SmMe(THF), and they resulted in partial epimerization, generating D , L ‐ or meso ‐lactide polymers with enhanced biodegradability. A blend of PLLA‐ r ‐PCL [82/18; PLLA…

We report a metastable bcc phase that intervenes between a disordered micellar suspension and an fcc crystal in a block copolymer solution. Upon heating, the metastable bcc phase nucleates first, and then transforms over the course of hours to the stable fcc phase. At still higher temperatures, the fcc phase transform…

Polyaniline (PANI) composite microwires containing CdS nanoparticles were synthesized guided by poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). It was found that the morphology of the composite microwires was affected by the concentration of PAA. When the concentration of PAA was lower than 0.1 mg ml −1 , the PANI/CdS composite was wires.…

Abstract Summary: Polycarbonate (PC)/high density polyethylene (HDPE) in situ microfibrillar blends were fabricated by a slit die extrusion, hot stretching, and quenching process. Despite PC and HDPE having a high viscosity ratio, which is usually disadvantageous to fibrillation, the morphological observation indicate…

To improve the performance of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx), gelatin was blended with PHBHHx at different ratios. With increasing gelatin content, the weight loss of gelatin/PHBHHx blend in simulated body fluid at 37 degrees C was accelerated. After 2 months, there was about 15% weight loss in…

Ultra-thin alumina films with self-ordered cylindrical vertical pores were fabricated on a p-type silicon substrate by anodization of Al films with thickness in the range of 30–500 nm in sulfuric or oxalic acid aqueous solutions. In both cases the pores were arranged in hexagonal cells in a close-packed structure and…

Catalysts of Ni/SiO 2 and Ni−La/SiO 2 were prepared using the incipient-wetness impregnation method. The prepared catalysts were used to produce syngas from a combined reaction of CO 2 reforming and partial oxidation of methane in a fluidized-bed reactor. Ni/SiO 2 exhibited excellent resistance to carbon deposition an…

An explanation of the glasslike anomaly observed in the low-temperature specific heat of incommensurate phases is proposed. The key point of this explanation is to properly account for the phason damping when computing the thermodynamic magnitudes. The low-temperature specific heat of the incommensurate phases is disc…
