The crystal structure of tobermorite 14 Å (plombierite) was solved by means of the application of the order–disorder (OD) theory and was refined through synchrotron radiation diffraction data. Two polytypes were detected within one very small crystal from Crestmore, together with possibly disordered sequences of layer…
pH-Responsive drug carriers have the potential to provide selective drug release at therapeutic targets including tumors and in acidic intracellular vesicles such as endosomes and lysosomes. We have developed a new approach to the design of acid-sensitive micelles by incorporating hydrophobic acetal groups on the core…
An oxide-based synthesis for the Na2Nb2-xM4+xO6-x(OH)x·H2O family has been developed. This family of molecular sieves, SOMS, shows great potential for divalent cation sequestration, of particular interest to radioactive waste and industrial metals cleanup. A new synthetic route has been developed to form these phases…
Abstract The effects of ultrasonic oscillations on the rheological and viscoelastic properties and morphology of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)/Illite (70/30) composites were studied. The experimental results showed that the die pressure and apparent viscosity of the HDPE/Illite (70/30) composites were reduced great…
Homocomposites consisting of two single-phase Sr2FeMoO6 components with different grain sizes were prepared by a sol-gel method. Large low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR) effect was achieved for the composites. Experimental results show that the LFMR strongly depends on both the relative amounts of the two components a…
Abstract Macroporous poly(dicyclopentadiene) beads have been produced via chemically induced phase separation in suspension polymerization. Phase separation is promoted by the enthalpic and entropic changes induced by the polymerization of dicyclopentadiene. By using poly(1,2‐butylene glycol) monobutyl ether ( M n 500…
The process-induced domain evolution and asymmetric switching in epitaxial Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) thin films have been studied by reciprocal space mapping, transmission electron microscopy, high-temperature x-ray diffraction, and the polarization-electric field hysteresis loop measurements. After annealing at reduce…
A fast, inexpensive, and highly efficient synthesis of aromatic polyamide dendrimers, without the need for protection and deprotection steps, has been developed. Dendrons and various types of polyamide dendrimers were easily prepared by a convergent approach involving activation of a carboxylic acid at the focal point…
Abstract Surface waves are the fields that decay exponentially away from, but propagate along, a dielectric interface. In this paper, a dielectric waveguide is constructed with a grounded DNG metamaterial slab whose real parts of permittivity and permeability are both negative. Field solutions are then derived analyti…
Monte Carlo simulations are performed of adsorbed polymers with various polymer lengths N and adsorption energies χ s . Exchange times and the rates of lateral diffusion (along the surface) are investigated as a function of N and χ s . Lateral diffusion is found to be a combination of reptation (diffusion of stored le…
Various free radical surface initiated polymerization (SIP) conditions were investigated on clay nanoparticles coated with monocationic 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) type free radical initiators. Interesting differences in the mechanism of polymer nanocomposite product formation and the role of nanoparticle surfa…
We report a study of spin waves in ferromagnetic La1-xCaxMnO3, at concentrations x=0.17 and x=0.2 very close to the metallic transition (x=0.225). Below T(C), in the quasimetallic state (T=150 K), nearly q-independent energy levels are observed. They are characteristic of standing spin waves confined into finite-size…
We measured the growth velocities of the (110) face of tetragonal lysozyme, V (cm/s), at four different concentrations, c (mg/mL), as the solution temperature, T (°C or K), was reduced. For a broad range of T dependent on c, we find that the growth velocities increased as the solution temperature was reduced. The init…
Abstract With nucleophilic aromatic substitution and ester condensation reactions, several new first‐generation dendrimers and star‐shaped molecules containing cationic cyclopentadienyl iron moieties were prepared. Although the solubility of the organoiron star‐shaped molecules with ether bridges in polar solvents was…
Abstract Polyamide–polyester multiblock copolymers were synthesized through the reaction of α,ω‐dicarboxy polyamides and polyesters with various arylene bis(2‐oxazoline)s. 2,2′‐(2,6‐Pyridylene)bis(2‐oxazoline) was very reactive and yielded multiblock copolymers with number‐average molar masses ranging from 15,000 to 2…
Abstract Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB)/ poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) blend films were prepared by using a cast blend method with chloroform. Homogenous blend films were obtained over a wide range of the blend ratio. The compatibility and physical properties of the blends have been investigated. The following conc…
Blends of poly[( R )-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) and cellulose propionate (CP) with various compositions were prepared by the solvent-casting method, and their uniaxial drawing behavior was studied by means of two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Although this syste…
The director structure around topological defects and in 2pi walls in the two-dimensional orientation field of thin freely suspended films of tilted chiral smectic liquid crystal is observed to minimize splay of the spontaneous polarization. Concentric ring patterns in the director field unwind more slowly in higher p…
Liquid crystal (LC) cells consisting of a very thin (submicrometer) nematic LC layer switch with time response smaller than 1ms. The total response time, i.e., sum of the turn-on and turn-off times, can be made as small as 1.3ms. Such devices were prepared by a photoinduced anisotropic phase separation of mixtures of…
Gd 2 O 3 : Eu 3 + and Li-doped Gd2O3:Eu3+ luminescent thin films have been grown on Si (100) substrates using pulsed-laser deposition. The films grown at different deposition conditions show different microstructural and luminescent characteristics. Both cubic and monoclinic crystalline structures were observed in bot…
