Abstract We evaluated the relationship between the ionic substituents and nonisothermal crystallization behavior in poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) ionomers, synthesized by the introduction of sulfonated dimethyl fumarate (SDMF) with sodium sulfonate. In addition, we investigated the effect of sodium ions on the molecu…

We studied the interaction between an ${\mathrm{Ar}}^{7+}$ ion and a graphene sheet by combining real-time propagation of electron wave functions with molecular dynamics simulations. Our calculation supports the fluorescence from ${\mathrm{Ar}}^{7+}$ ions penetrating the carbon foil [S. Bashkin et al., Phys. Rev. A 25…

The importance of collagen, the major structural protein of animal kingdom, in maintaining the normal structure and function of the skin is well known. The same property is exploited widely in medical and industrial fields in finding agents, which could influence the synthesis of this protein. In this context in vitro…

Morphological evolution in dewetting thin film bilayers of polystyrene (PS) and a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), trisilanolphenyl-POSS (TPP), was studied as a function of annealing temperature and annealing time. The results demonstrate unique dewetting morphologies in PS/TPP bilayers at elevated tempera…

Cupric acetate dissolved in ethanol was applied for the first time for synthesizing highly compressed and regular coiled carbon nanotubes (CCNTs). This was done by spray pyrolysis of the ethanol solution intermittently supplied into the reaction zone at 850 °C. The grown CCNTs were in high purity and high yield and co…

A planar anode-supported electrolyte was fabricated using a tape casting method that involved a single step cofiring process. A standard NiO∕8YSZ cermet anode, 8mol% YSZ electrolyte, and a lanthanum strontium manganite cathode were used for the solid oxide fuel cell unit cell. A pressurized cofiring technique allows t…

The influence of 0–16 mol% Sb 2 O 3 substitution for P 2 O 5 on the properties of ZnO–P 2 O 5 glasses has been investigated. It was shown that Sb 2 O 3 could participate in the glass network and thermal stability of the glasses decreased with increasing Sb 2 O 3 content. Glass transition temperature T g , softening te…

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: High molecular weight polymers such as proteins and polysaccharides have been commonly employed in cosmetic practice to induce skin tightness. The effect is perceived by users as an increase in skin tightness (firmness) accompanied by skin smoothing and elimination of wrinkles and lines. The aim of…

By simply refluxing a commercial AlN powder in a mixture solution of ethanol, H(3)PO(4), and Al(H(2)PO(4))(3) for 24 h at 80 degrees C, the powder was successfully passivated against hydrolysis. The phosphate layer formed on the surface of AlN powder was found to be quite stable toward protecting the powder from hydro…

We have investigated the effect of structural disorder on the temperature dependence of the resistivity $\ensuremath{\rho}(T)$ of epitaxial $\mathrm{Sr}\mathrm{Ru}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ films. Distinctive effects of disorder are seen at low and high temperatures. For temperatures well below the ferromagnetic transition and…
