The existence of a family of stable I h -symmetric polysilane nanostructures is predicted. The smallest member of the family is the dodecahedral Si 20 H 20 cage, followed by Si 80 H 80, Si 180 H 180, and larger structures. The structures and stabilities of the polysilane nanostructures were determined on the basis of…

In this Letter, we report the confinement of a uniform beam of light (lambda(1) = 400 nm) at the nodes of a standing wave (lambda(2) = 532 nm) via absorbance modulation. In the present implementation of absorbance modulation, a thin polymer film containing a photochromic azobenzene side chain is exposed to a standing…

Abstract A series of X‐ray pole figures were obtained from oriented and unoriented rigid polyvinyl chloride sheets. From these, information about crystallite orientation in uniaxially and biaxially drawn sheets stretched at 90°C was obtained. Uniaxial orientation produced two crystallite orientations with the extent o…

Phase transformation temperature is one of the most important parameters for the shape memory alloys (SMAs). The most popular method to determine these phase transformation temperatures is the Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), but due to the limitation of the DSC testing itself, it made it difficult for the fin…

Abstract Polymer blends of carboxylated butadiene‐acrylonitrile copolymer (nitrile rubber) and polyamide 6 (PA6) were developed in twin screw extrusion. The rubber was cured with SP 1045 methylol phenolic resin during melt mixing in twin screw. Effect of degree of carboxylation in the rubber phase on blend properties…

Abstract Expanded bed adsorption (EBA) is an integrated technology for capturing target biomolecules directly from particle‐containing feedstock. The adsorbents are the key base to achieve the EBA process and should be designed specially. In present work a new type of composite particles for EBA application was prepar…

Novel nanostructured carbon material was synthesized by applying zeolite LTA as a template and using methanol as a carbon source. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the higher the decomposition temperature, the more graphitic and ordered the structure. The optimum pyrolytic temperature for addition of microporosity…

Isostructural clusters exhibit contrasting magnetic properties when the number of electrons differs. Surprisingly, the same is true even for isoelectronic cages (e.g. O(h) B6H6(2-) is diatropic, whereas O(h) Si6(2-) is paratropic) or for those with different substitutents (e.g. T(d) B4H4 is paratropic, whereas T(d) B4…

Abstract Intumescent coatings are increasingly used as a method of passive fire protection on steel constructions. By forming a carbon network and releasing a blowing agent, the thin intumescent film swells 100‐fold at elevated temperatures. The highly insulating foam effectively prevents the load bearing steel from r…

Abstract The elastic behavior of a propylene–ethylene copolymer was investigated. An initial “conditioning” tensile extension up to 800% strain resulted in an elastomer with low initial modulus, strong strain hardening, and complete recovery over many cycles. Structural changes that occurred in the low crystallinity p…
