Abstract Siloxane‐modified polyurethanes were prepared through isophorone diisocyanates (IPDI), poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO), and siloxanes. IPDI served as the hard segment in the structure. Both PTMO and siloxanes were diols and served as the soft segments. In addition, different chemical structures of siloxanes…

Abstract A series of new aliphatic polyesters derived from 1,12‐dodecanedioic acid and different diols with an even number of methylene units have been studied to assess the effect of the chemical structure on the final thermal properties of the materials. The polyesters have high thermal stability and are fast crysta…

The composites of nanoparticles of magnetic metals Co, Ni, and Ni–Fe dispersed on the nanolayers of expanded graphite (EG) were prepared by the impregnation of EG with ethanol solutions of metal acetates, followed by drying and reduction in H2. Such composites combined the properties of high electric conductivity of E…

A hexa-alkylether-substituted hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene, as a discotic liquid crystal, spontaneously homeotropically self-orients when cooled from the isotropic phase. During this process, a dendritic morphology is formed in which a significant optical difference is observed between the dendritic shapes and their pe…

Using the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, the coupling interaction of the ferroelectric (FE) and ferromagnetic (FM) phases in epitaxial 1-3-type multiferroic thin films was investigated considering the effect of elastic stress arising from the FE/FM and film/substrate interfaces. The result of the authors sho…

The structure of Mn clusters in (Ga,Mn)N and the interactions of the magnetic Mn ions and clusters are studied using first-principles calculations. Curie temperatures are calculated using mean-field and Monte Carlo methods. It is found that joining substitutional Mn ions to clusters is energetically favorable and espe…

A coaxial nanocable model consisting of conductive carbon nanotube core and boron nitride nanotube sheath is proposed by ab initio calculations. The conduction electron density is mainly concentrated on the inner carbon shell at the optimal interwall distance about 0.35nm. The conductivity of the core carbon nanotube…

Nickel-zinc ferrites (Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4) with extraordinary electric and dielectric properties were prepared by self-combustion technique. The resistivity of ferrite in the ferric citrate system is on the order of 1010Ωcm, which is about four orders higher than that of ferrite in the ferric nitrate system as well as tha…

Nonthermal plasma (NTP) desorption is used in NOx aftertreatment systems for diesel engine exhaust gas. The authors conducted desorption experiments for both NTP and thermal desorptions under similar conditions and electric power levels. The results confirm that NO, NO2, and CO2 are desorbed by the NTP at lower gas te…

We propose a smart nanoparticle, a ``regulatron,'' that exploits a cycle of dynamic plasmonic feedback to self-regulate its temperature to a fixed range. One kind of regulatron can be conceived from $\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ and Au; the temperature of this particle when illuminated by laser irradiation of suitable…

When Fe ions in the ferrimagnetic cubic MgFe2O4 are replaced by Jahn-Teller (JT)-active Mn ions, the structure evolves with two-step processes. For example, the quenched cubic MgMn1.5Fe0.5O4 becomes tetragonal and JT distorted with slow cooling. However, with further slow cooling, the clustering tendency of JT-distort…
