In this paper, micro (mean size is 1 μm) and nano (mean size is 10 nm) TiO2(Titania) were loaded into epoxy resin at the same time. Eleven kinds of samples with different filler contents were prepared. Flashover characteristics of the epoxy composites were investigated under 50 ns (rise time)/1.5 μs (half-height width…

We explore the intrinsic viscosity of 40 nm silica particles in concentrated solutions of low molecular weight hydroxyl terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether (PEGDME) and polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF). Our goal is to develop a correlation between the intrinsic viscosity and the strength…

Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon with a single ring and two methyl groups attached to this ring in positions 1-2, 1-3 and 1-4, called o-xylene, m-xylene, and p-xylene, respectively. Because of the similarities in their physicochemical properties, it is very difficult to obtain these isomers in a pure form. For this r…

In order to propel the development of metal magnetic memory (MMM) technique in fatigue damage detection, a modified Jiles–Atherton (J–A) model is constructed to describe MMM mechanism in elastic stress stage. The MMM phenomenon is discussed from the view of energy minimum theory and equivalent magnetic field theory, t…

Ambient-condition Raman spectra were collected in the strongly correlated NiS${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Se${}_{x}$ pyrite ($0\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}1.2$). Two samples ($x=0$ and $x=0.55$) were studied as a function of pressure up to 10 GPa, and for the $x=0.55$ sample the pressure dependence of the infrared refl…

Ligand denticity profoundly affects the ability of organic ligands to control crystal shape during aqueous crystallization of zinc oxide. A method is presented for rapidly screening the shape-control activity of organic molecules during zinc oxide crystallization. This method involves the solution-phase growth and iso…

The equilibrium structure and ordering kinetics of random AB block copolymers is investigated using a Lennard-Jones bead–spring model and a soft, coarse-grained model. Upon increasing the incompatibility a disordered microemulsion-like structure is formed, whose length scale slightly increases with segregation. The st…

We present the results of our Monte Carlo simulation of the Ising-O(3) model on two-dimensional (2D) and quasi-2D lattices. This model is an effective classical model for the stacked square-lattice ${J}_{1}$-${J}_{2}$ Heisenberg model, where the nearest-neighbor (${J}_{1}$) and next-nearest-neighbor (${J}_{2}$) coupli…

A 50 : 50 wt% mixture of L-lactide and trimethylene carbonate yields a eutectic at 21.3 °C. This mixture was exploited to prepare poly(L-lactide) homopolymers at r.t. without addition of extra solvent. The intrinsic kinetic behavior of the DBU organocatalyst also allowed for the sequential polymerization of both comon…
