On the basis of the structure refinements of neutron powder diffraction data, the Raman bands of A 2 La 2 Ti 3 O 10 (A = Na, K, and Rb) were successfully assigned. The existence of a linear A−O−Ti linkage along the c axis in this structure resulted in the strong dependence of their Raman bands on the nature of the A a…

A simple method to create large areas of in-plane oriented molecular mono- and multilayers is presented. The method is based on layer-by-layer adsorption of polyions and a lyotropic chromonic (nonamphiphilic) liquid crystal, which allows one to orient the molecules uniformly in the plane of deposition. The long-range…

Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) is known to biodegrade under composting or water sewage plant conditions. However, as compared with poly(alpha-hydroxy acids) derived from lactic and glycolic acids, PCL is much more resistant to chemical hydrolysis and is achiral, a feature that limits very much the possibility of pro…

Starting from the basic Landau model for the incommensurate-commensurate materials of the class II, we derive the spectrum of collective modes for all (meta)stable states from the corresponding phase diagram. It is shown that all incommensurate states posses Goldstone modes with acoustic dispersions. The representatio…

The effect of fiber surface pretreatment on the interfacial strength and mechanical properties of wood fiber/polypropylene (WF/PP) composites are investigated. The results demonstrate that fiber surface conditions significantly influence the fiber–matrix interfacial bond, which, in turn, determines the mechanical prop…
