Abstract Flow‐induced orientation of the conductive fillers in injection molding creates parts with anisotropic electrical conductivity where through‐plane conductivity is several orders of magnitude lower than in‐plane conductivity. This article provides insight into a novel processing method using a chemical blowing…

In-plane defects have been introduced into graphene nanosheets by treatment with hydrochloric acid. Acid treatment induces bond cleavage in the C–C network via electrophilic attack. These resultant vacancy sites will then undergo further reactions with the surrounding ambient to produce C–O and C–H bonds. A σ ∗ resona…

Abstract An attractive intumescent flame retardant epoxy system was prepared from epoxy resin (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A), low molecular weight polyamide (cure agent, LWPA), and ammonium polyphosphate (APP). The cured epoxy resin was served as carbonization agent as well as blowing agent itself in the intumescen…

The dimensions of individual deuterated polystyrene (d-PS) chains in a well-dispersed mixture of protonated polystyrene and chemically identical nanoparticles was determined by neutron scattering. A 10%-20% increase in the radius of gyration of d-PS was found when the nanoparticles are homogeneously dispersed in the p…

The present paper reports the successful elaboration of exfoliated plasticized starch-based nanobiocomposites. This was made possible by using cationic starch as a new clay organomodifier to better match the polarity of the matrix and thus to facilitate the clay exfoliation process. To demonstrate the efficiency of th…

We report a method to incorporate dislocation climb controlled by bulk diffusion in a three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulation for fcc metals. In this model we couple the vacancy diffusion theory to the DDD in order to obtain the climb rate of the dislocation segments. The capability of the mod…

Abstract Two types of polylactic acid (PLA) films (one amorphous and one semi‐crystalline) were produced by sheet extrusion. Talc was used as a nucleation agent for the semi‐crystalline PLA. The films were annealed above their T g or were uniaxially orientated in two ways: (1) via a drawing system in front of the extr…

We present calculations of the magnetic ground states of Cr trimers in different geometries on top of a Au(111) surface. By using a least square fit method based on a fully relativistic embedded-cluster Green's function method first we determined the parameters of a classical vector-spin model consisting of second and…

\emph{Ab initio} calculations of the structure and electronic density of states (DOS) of the perfect core-shell $Ag_{27}Cu_{7}$ nanoalloy attest to its $D_{5h}$ symmetry and confirm that it has only 6 non-equivalent (2 $Cu$ and 4 $Ag$) atoms. Analysis of bond-length, average formation energy, heat of formation of $Ag_…

Conducting submicron particles are well suited as filler particles in nonconducting polymer matrices to obtain a conducting composite with a low percolation threshold. Going to nanometer-sized filler particles imposes a restriction to the conductivity of the composite, due to the reduction of the density of states inv…

A new kind of fluorenonearylamine derivatives possessing vagarious red-emitting aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics was reported for the first time. On the basis of theoretical calculations and experimental results, the AIE was found to originate from the unique dimer (excimer) specifically in the aggre…

Epitaxial films of graphene on SiC(0001) are interesting from a basic physics as well as an applications-oriented point of view. Here, we study the emerging morphology of in vacuo prepared graphene films using low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We obtain an ide…

For nanoscale electrical characterization and device fabrication it is often desirable to fabricate planar metal electrodes separated by large aspect ratio gaps with interelectrode distances well below 100 nm. We demonstrate a self-aligned process to accomplish this goal using a thin Cr film as a sacrificial etch laye…

We propose the theory of transport in a gate-tunable graphene $p\text{\ensuremath{-}}n$ junction, in which the gradient of the carrier density is controlled by the gate voltage. Depending on this gradient and on the density of charged impurities, the junction resistance is dominated by either diffusive or ballistic co…

Photon interference among distant quantum emitters is a promising method to generate large scale quantum networks. Interference is best achieved when photons show long coherence times. For the nitrogen-vacancy defect center in diamond we measure the coherence times of photons via optically induced Rabi oscillations. E…
