This article investigated the elastic response of natural rubber (NR) compounds filled with silica from fly ash particles (FASi) and commercial precipitated silica (PSi), through a dynamic rebound test. The effects of silica content and initial drop‐height on the height and number of rebounds, dynamic stiffness, and t…

Bioinspired molecular self-assembly is a popular route to novel functional materials for industrial applications. Here we explore, for the first time, the possibility of using organogel and hydrogels of short self-assembling β-sheet-forming peptides, as starting states for the creation of nanostructured peptide aeroge…

Abstract High-Cr ferritic/martensitic steels are being considered as structural materials for a large number of future nuclear applications, from fusion to accelerator-driven systems and GenIV reactors. Fe-Cr alloys can be used as model materials to investigate some of the mechanisms governing their microstructure evo…

The authors have studied the electronic structure of potassium doped copper-phthalocyanine using electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The evolution of the loss function indicates the formation of distinct KxCuPc phases. Taking into account the C1s and K2p core level excitations and recent results by Giovanelli et al. [J…

We propose an explanation for the anomalous compressibility maximum in amorphous silica based on rigidity arguments. The model considers the fact that a network structure will be rigidly compressed in the high-pressure limit, and rigidly taut in the negative pressure limit, but flexible and hence softer at intermediat…

Ultra linear silicon-on-glass varactor topologies with improved power handling and linearity have been realized. The resulting components include integrated bias networks and provide excellent low-loss performance for large capacitances (e.g. C=20pF Q>100 at 2 GHz with Vcont=2 V). Using a novel center tap circuit the…

Single zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopillars grown by the vapor-liquid-solid process on a-plane sapphire are investigated by spatially resolved cathodoluminescence on the nanometer scale in a scanning electron microscope. Spectra were recorded by exciting luminescence along single pillars and across the underlying wetting laye…

We report on an observation of the phase transition between two liquid phases of supercooled confined water in simulations. The temperature of the liquid-liquid transition of water at zero pressure slightly decreases due to confinement in the hydrophobic pore. The hydrophilic confinement affects this temperature in th…

We present a study of high-field transport in carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and breakdown phenomena due to current stress. In situ measurements with scanning transmission electron microscopy reveal that the failure mode of CNFs is strongly related to the morphology of graphite layers comprising CNFs. Comparison with carbon…

Translational diffusion of a small charged tracer sphere in isotropic and nematic suspensions of long and thin charged rods is investigated as a function of ionic strength and rod concentration. A theory for the diffusive properties of a small sphere is developed, where both (screened) hydrodynamic interactions and ch…
