We measured the change of the refractive index over a wide wavelength range in Ge- and N-doped high purity (fiber optics grade) silica glasses subjected to gamma irradiation. The radiation-induced change of the refractive index tends to be greater in the infrared part of the spectrum compare to the values measured in…

The production of a cellular structure in wood-flour/plastic composites (WPC) is overwhelmingly dominated by the gaseous emissions/ volatiles released by the wood-flour (WF), which prevents the formation of a uniform and fine-celled structure. By adopting effective processing strategies, the adverse effects of these v…

The performance and service life of the die components are limited because of different reasons such as thermal and mechanical fatigue cracking, wear, plastic deformation, etc. To minimise these damages, the dies are normally subjected to a variety of surface engineering processes. In the present study, the dimensiona…

The aim of an invisibility device is to guide light around any object put inside, being able to hide objects from sight. In this work, we propose a novel design of dielectric invisibility media based on negative refraction and optical conformal mapping that seems to create perfect invisibility. This design has some ad…

A study on nitrogen plasma functionalization of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) is presented. The samples of PET foils were exposed to a weakly ionized, highly dissociated RF nitrogen plasma with an electron temperature of 5 eV, a density of positive ions of the order of 10 15 m -3 and a density of neutral nitrogen at…

Nanocrystals of Zn 1−x M x O ( M =Mn, Co, or Ni) were grown using proteic sol-gel process, and the crystalline phases were identified by X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement. The nanocrystals have hexagonal wurtzite structure, with space group P 63 mc . The insertion of Mn 2+ in the place of Zn 2+ provoked an inc…

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) under axial compression to investigate the effects of the number of walls and their van der Waals (vdW) interaction on the buckling behaviors and mechanical properties (Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio). The Brenner second-generat…

The main-chain BB/PDA-5(3-Me) polyester containing a photo-cross-linkable p -phenylenediacrylate (PDA) moiety was synthesized and cross-linked in the transparent monodomain smectic CA (S CA ) state by UV irradiation. The monodomain S CA elastomer contracted to about 60% of the original length on heating up to the isot…

Growth of the IV-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor Ge1−xMnxTe by molecular beam epitaxy is reported. The epitaxial growth of Ge1−xMnxTe (x=0.13) on BaF2 (111) with a GeTe buffer layer is confirmed by x-ray diffraction and reflection high-energy electron diffraction. The ferromagnetic order is clearly established by th…

Polycarbonate diols (PCDLs) are known as important intermediates for the manufacture of novel polyurethanes. In this work, PCDLs were prepared via the reaction of hexane-1,6-diol (HD) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) using calcined MgAl hydrotalcites (HTc) as solid base. The effects of preparative parameters of the cataly…

The reaction of thin multiwalled carbon nanotubes with a mixture of concentrated HNO 3 and H 2 SO 4 has been studied by IR absorption and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The results indicate the attachment of-C(O)OH groups to nanotubes and subsequent conversion of these groups to-C(O)Cl groups via reaction with SO…

Abstract Continuous ultrasonic devulcanization of carbon black (CB) filled isoprene rubber (IR) was carried out. Similar to unfilled IR, power consumption during the devulcanization of the filled IR increased with the increase of ultrasonic amplitude indicating a greater extent of devulcanization. This was in contrast…

Rayleigh interferometry has been extensively used for the precise determination of diffusion coefficients for binary and ternary liquid mixtures. For ternary mixtures, the 2x2 matrix of multicomponent diffusion coefficients is obtained. Polydispersity adds complexity to the meaning of these measured diffusion coeffici…

Nanosized, purified crystalline-phase cerium-doped lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG:Ce) phosphors were prepared by the urea homogeneous precipitation method. The obtained phosphors showed much higher dispersivity, a fairly uniform size of about 30 nm, and higher luminescence intensity than those synthesized by a sol–gel…
