Here we investigate the dynamic self-assembly pathway of ordered gold nanocrystal arrays during the self-assembly of gold nanocrystal micelles, with and without the presence of colloidal silica precursors, using grazing-incidence X-ray scattering performed at a synchrotron source. With silica precursors present, a lat…
Abstract Multiwalled carbon nanotubes‐polymethyl methacrylate composites (MWCNT‐PMMA) were prepared by an in situ polymerization method. The effect of nanotube content and their surface functionalization on the mechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposites was investigated. The use of only 1.8 wt% functionaliz…
Abstract The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the temperature dependence of heat capacity and thermal conductivity of composites having different fiber/matrix combinations by means of heat‐flux differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The materials used as samples in this study were epoxy‐ and polyester‐…
Abstract In the development of new detergent products, it is important to test the foaming behavior of different types of surfactants. Different types and concentrations of surfactant solutions prepared with three types of water are expected to present differences in their foamability. In this study, foam volumes prod…
Abstract Novel nanocomposites from poly( L ‐lactide) (PLLA) and an organically modified layered double hydroxide (LDH) were prepared using the melt‐mixing technique. The structure and crystallization behavior of these nanocomposites were investigated by means of wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), transmission electr…
The interactions between polyamidoamine dendrimers and different surfactants including sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide in aqueous solutions have been investigated by a NOESY NMR technique. Strong NOE cross-peaks between hydrophobic chain protons of SDS and methylene protons of cation…
The atomic and electronic structure of a twisted and collapsed double-walled carbon nanotube was characterized using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. It was found that the deformation opens an electronic band gap in an otherwise metallic nanotube, which has major ramifications on the use of carbon nanot…
The structure, electronic, and optical properties of GaN-rich Ga 1− x Zn x N 1− x O x ( x = 0.125) solid solution have been investigated systemically by means of density functional theory calculations (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Our calculated results indicate that between the N 2p and Z…
Summary This paper discusses the effects of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe2+ on inhibitor retention and release. Better understanding of phosphonate reactions during inhibitor squeeze treatments has direct implication on how to design and improve scale inhibitor squeeze treatments for optimum scale control. Putting various amount…
The recently proposed Einstein molecule approach is extended to compute the free energy of molecular solids. This method is a variant of the Einstein crystal method of Frenkel and Ladd [J. Chem. Phys. 81, 3188 (1984)]. In order to show its applicability, we have computed the free energy of a hard-dumbbell solid, of tw…
Abstract Three types of silver/polymer nanocomposite films were prepared: (1) silver/polymethyl methacrylate, (2) silver/polystyrene, and (3) silver/polyt‐butyl methacrylate by mixing colloidal solution of functionalized Ag nanoparticles with solution of pre‐made polymers. The nanoparticles are randomly dispersed into…
Abstract We examine the possibility of controlling nanotube growth and simultaneously manipulating the nanotube properties by adding elements in minute amounts (such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur) that are different from carbon and the metal catalyst during the growth process. This procedure is shown to be capa…
Several results concerning active media or metamaterials are proved and discussed. In particular, we consider the permittivity, permeability, wave vector, and refractive index, and discuss stability, refraction, gain, and fundamental limitations resulting from causality.
A simple, rapid sonochemical procedure for the preparation of highly fluorescent and water-soluble CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) using α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin (CD) as surface-coating agents is reported. The water-soluble QDs were characterized by luminescence spectroscopy, UV−vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, NMR…
A study is presented of the electrical properties of a series of nanocomposites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) as a matrix and either carbon nanofiber (CNF) or multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) as a nanoadditive. The measurements of the electrical conductivity over a broad-band of frequencies (10 −2 > F /Hz…
Glasses belonging to the Na(2)O-CaO-P(2)O(5)-SiO(2) system and modified by CaF(2) substitution for CaO and Na(2)O alternatively, were synthesized and characterized experimentally and computationally. The results of molecular dynamics simulations show that fluorine is almost exclusively bonded to modifier cations (Ca a…
Although negative-refractive-index metamaterials have successfully achieved subwavelength focusing, image resolution is limited by the presence of losses. In this Letter, a metal transmission screen with subwavelength spaced slots is proposed that focuses the near-field beyond the diffraction limit and, furthermore, i…
A new electrochromic molecule comprised of pi-conjugated and ionic moieties has been designed and synthesized. It forms a nanosegregated smectic phase in which ion-conductive layers of imidazolium salts are located between hole transport layers of phenylterthiophene moieties. Electrochromism is observed in the bulk li…
Microtwins and stacking faults in plastically deformed aluminum single crystal were successfully observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscope. The occurrence of these microtwins and stacking faults is directly related to the specially designed crystallographic orientation, because they were not observe…
We have shown that the broadband near-IR (NIR) fluorescence recently discovered in Bi-doped glasses is not specific due solely to Bi ions. Glasses doped with different 6p (Bi, Pb) and 5p (Sn, Sb) ions exhibit very similar behavior characterized by four major spectral peaks observed in two-dimensional excitation-emissi…
