Abstract Effect of fiber compression on flexural modulus of the natural fiber composites was examined. The kenaf, bagasse, and polypropylene were mixed into pellets, and composites were fabricated by injection molding. To predict flexural modulus of the composites, the Young's modulus of kenaf and bagasse fiber were m…

A general strategy for the preparation of well-defined diblock copolymers combining a random cascade-branched dendritic (i.e., hyperbranched) and a linear block has been developed. The strategy is based on a linear poly(styrene- b -butadiene) (PS- b -PB) diblock copolymer with high molecular weight PS block and short,…

Dielectrophoresis has received considerable attention for separating nanotubes according to electronic types. Here we examine the effects of surface conductivity of semiconducting single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT), induced by ionic surfactants, on the sign of dielectrophoretic force. The crossover frequency of sem…

Water-dispersible and uniform tubular nanocarbons with a diameter of about 10 nm were synthesized by the template method without any additional treatment after the synthesis. Since one end of each tubular nanocarbon is always open but another end is closed, the nanocarbons look like a “test tube”. It was found that th…

Abstract A negative‐type photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) based on poly(amic acid) (PAA) and a photo‐base generator (PBG) has been developed. PAA‐2, the polyimide precursor, was prepared from oxydianiline (ODA) and 4,4′‐biphthalic dianhydride (BPDA) in N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAc), and used directly for lithographic ev…

The hydrogenation reactions of ethene, propene, and toluene were used as probes of the catalytic properties of small clusters of rhodium (Rh6) and of iridium (Ir4 and Ir6) (as well as of larger aggregates of these metals) on oxide supports (gamma-Al2O3, MgO, and La2O3). The catalysts were characterized in the working…

We demonstrate a simple route to making hierarchically porous MnO. Macropores in Mn3O4 are induced through a process of powder sintering. The loss of volume associated with the reduction of Mn3O4 to MnO results in the formation of mesopores in the walls of a macroporous monolith of MnO. The mesopores are regenerative,…

An effective method was proposed to remove obstinate boron nitride phase impurities in boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). The method is based on strong interactions between BNNTs and a conjugated polymer wrapping them and significant weight and size difference between BNNTs and impurities.
