Abstract Summary: Uniform one‐dimensional (1D) structures of o ‐phenylenediamine (oPD) oligomers are obtained by direct mix of AgNO 3 and oPD aqueous solutions at room temperature. The formation of the 1D structures involves two stages: (1) oxidation of oPD by AgNO 3 , yielding individual oPD oligomers; and (2) self‐a…

Four-gone confusion! An assembly of four N-confused porphyrinatosilver(III) subunits (see structure; N blue, Ag olive-colored, C silver/red) placed on the perimeter of a cyclic structure that comprises two silver(I) ions is effectively formed from a bis(N-confused porphyrin) free base and a silver(I) salt.

Metal-semiconductor-metal planar devices have been fabricated on as-grown boron-doped homoepitaxial diamond thin films. They consist of two Schottky barriers connected back to back. The metal employed was a thin titanium (Ti) layer (5nm) followed by a gold (Au) cap layer (50nm), respectively. The structure shows a hig…

Mechanically alloyed ${\mathrm{Co}}_{0.2}{\mathrm{Zn}}_{0.8}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ nanoparticle has shown the enhancement of both magnetization and ferrimagnetic order which seems to be unusual according to the existing core-shell model of ferrimagnetic nanoparticle. Many concurrent effects such as site ex…

Telechelic random copolymers were prepared by copolymerization of ε-caprolactone (εCL) and trimethylene carbonate (TMC) in bulk using bismuth(III) hexanoate, Bi(OHex) 3, as initiator. These copolymers were characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. A−B−A triblock copolymers were synthesized by chain extension of…

Porphyrins bearing four urea-linked dodecyl groups (3a) or four urea-linked triethoxysilylpropyl groups (3TEOS) at their peripheral positions were synthesized. 3a tends to assemble into a sheetlike two-dimensional structure due to the predominant hydrogen-bonding interaction among the urea groups and acts as a moderat…

The fragilities (T(g)-normalized temperature dependence of alpha-relaxation times) of 33 glass-forming liquids and polymers are compared for isobaric, mP, and isochoric, mV, conditions. We find that the two quantities are linearly correlated: mP = (37+/-3) + (0.84+/-0.05)mV. This result has obvious and important conse…

The purpose of this study is to compare the results from molecular-dynamics and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations of Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid and determine the quantitative effects of DPD coarse graining on flow parameters. We illustrate how to select the conservative force coefficient, the cut-off radiu…

Abstract Summary: Epoxy nanocomposites containing rod‐like silicate (attapulgite) were prepared using a simple organic modification to the nanorods. The modification led to effective interfacial adhesion between the ceramic nanorods and the epoxy resin and hence good load transfer. Scanning electron microscopy examina…

We determine the lifetime of the surface plasmon in metallic nanoparticles under various conditions, concentrating on the Landau damping, which is the dominant mechanism for intermediate-size particles. Besides the main contribution to the lifetime, which smoothly increases with the size of the particle, our semiclass…
