We report that a 5 nm thick Al(2)O(3) film grown on Si(100) directly by sputtering exhibits strong (110) texture, accompanied by a shrunk lattice structure (Δd/d∼-2.36%). The disordered nature of the film was confirmed by cross-sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, implying the loosened microstru…

Abstract Different approaches to the design of liquid crystals by using H‐bonds were analyzed. A selection of stilbazoles and pyridine compounds, with one or two chelating positions, were used as H‐acceptors in mixtures with carboxylic acids. The noncovalent complexes in question afforded calamitic mesomorphism (N, Sm…

Free or mesh-supported nanomats can easily be developed by this novel application of the electrospinning technique in which electrospun nanofibers are neutralized with a cloud of electrospray-generated small counterions. The fibers condense into dense micrometer-thick nanomats because of the attraction between opposit…

Two-dimensional arborols are bolaform amphiphiles in which a central, hydrophobic spacer separates twin hydrophilic ends. Under appropriate conditions, these relatively small molecules assemble into very long fibers; subsequently, the system gels if the arborol concentration is sufficiently high. The diffusion of line…

The incorporation of a small amount of salt in a block copolymer leads to strong modifications of the interfacial interactions, causing the microdomains to orient perpendicular to the surface during solvent evaporation. This approach can be used to prepare hexagonally ordered cylindrical arrays with high aspect ratios…

To improve the ferroelectric properties in BiFeO3, the effects of ion doping have been investigated. Currently, rare earth element substituted bismuth ferrites have attracted much attention for potential memory material. However, BFO materials are known to suffer from low resistivity and high leakage current. Particul…

One stable form (Form I) and two metastable forms (Forms II and IV) of p -methylchalcone have been obtained, with Form II having previously been reported to be a disappearing polymorph. To prevent the conversion of Form II, which has a melting point of 89–91 °C, into the stable form it was produced in conditions free…

Abstract This paper describes F‐based dry etching and resulting surface properties of biocompatible silicone elastomer. The etch rate of polysiloxane and surface morphology was found to be highly temperature dependent. An increase in temperature results in a significantly higher etch rate and a lower surface roughness…
