For the first time, the efficiency of different surface pretreatment approaches prior to adhesive bonding of a fibreglass-reinforced epoxy vinyl ester thermoset composite has been investigated. It was found that grit-blasting generally had a negligible effect on the surface free energy (SFE) calculated using the Owens…

Abstract Vibrational spectroscopy data were used to gain insight into the possible locations of extra oxygen ions introduced into La 8+ x Sr 2− y (SiO 4 ) 6 O 2+δ compounds to raise their ionic conductivity. Perturbations observed in the Raman and infrared spectra of these compounds with increasing δ were explained by…

We present a novel approach to reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) modeling, SpecSwap-RMC, specifically applicable to structure modeling based on properties that require significant computer time to evaluate. In this approach pre-computed property data from a discrete set of local configurations are used and the configuration s…

For equations of generalized Cahn–Hilliard type we present an a posteriori error analysis that is robust with respect to a small interface length scale γ . We propose the solution of a fourth order elliptic eigenvalue problem in each time step to gain a fully computable error bound, which only depends polynomially (of…

A phospholipid-protein hybrid nanostructure was found to reveal various hydrodynamic diameters dependent on the amount of the drugs incorporated, which could be over 10 times larger than that of the starting nanostructure. This observation was likely related to the thermal stabilization of the nanostructure during inc…

In spite of numerous papers dedicated to the subject, the behavior of the helical pitch in the smectic C* phase near the smectic A phase is still controversial. In particular, it is not clear to what extent the measured pitch values are influenced by surface effects. In order to shed light on this problem, careful pit…
