The boron nitride (BN) nanotube has a very wide band gap and can shield the nanowire encapsulated inside its cavity from outside interference. Our calculations indicate that transition metal wires can be inserted inside a variety of zigzag BN nanotubes exothermically. In particular a cobalt wire and the BN tube intera…

Alkylketene dimer (AKD), a kind of wax, has been known to form fractal surfaces spontaneously and show super water-repellency. Such formation of water-repellent and fractal surfaces was also found in this work for triglycerides. Since the crystal phase transitions of these waxes were well studied, we studied the forma…

The association of amylose-primer surfactants was controlled by changing the amphiphilicity with a chain-elongation reaction triggered by the addition of phosphorylase. By using this property, the micelle-to-vesicle transition of mixed lipid/ primer systems can be controlled.

The NMR spectra of 19F and 53Cr have been obtained at low temperatures in a heterometallic substituted antiferromagnetic (AF) ring Cr7Cd with an S=3/2 ground state and compared with the spectra in a homometallic Cr8 AF ring with an S=0 ground state. From the analysis of the spectra one can derive directly model indepe…

Abstract Multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)‐reinforced polyimide nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ polymerization of monomers in the presence of acylated MWNTs. The acyl groups associated with the MWNTs participated in the reaction through the formation of amide bonds. This process enabled uniform dispersion…

The mechanical performance of a novel antifouling and fouling-release coating, based upon hyperbranched fluoropolymer-poly(ethylene glycol) amphiphilic crosslinked networks (HBFP-PEG), has been investigated thoroughly before and after swelling in water. It is shown that the elastic modulus ( E ) depends on the relativ…

We study thermal rectifying effect in two-dimensional systems consisting of the Frenkel Kontorva lattice and the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice. It is found that the rectifying effect is related to the asymmetrical interface thermal resistance. The rectifying efficiency is typically about two orders of magnitude which is la…
