Abstract Polypropylene (PP) is used in many automotive applications where good paint adhesion is of primary importance. PP is widely known for its low surface energy which impacts negatively on its adhesion strength. PP surfaces were modified using a new industrial surface‐treatment process known as the Accelerated Th…

We propose coupled-mode analysis of a two-dimensional photonic crystal add-drop filter based on ring resonators, which can be applicable to photonic integrated circuits. Mechanism of this proposed add-drop filter is analogous to that of ring resonators resonance, which involves interaction of waveguides and resonators…

The two scaling relations in absorbing phase transitions, ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\parallel}}=\ensuremath{\beta}∕\ensuremath{\theta}$ and $z={\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\parallel}}∕{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$, are studied for a conserved lattice gas model. The critical indices calculated elab…

We have used atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging and force spectroscopy to study β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) food protein molecules adsorbed onto a mica surface. In particular, we have studied the effect of in situ changes in pH on several different properties: the topographical morphology of the adsorbed β-LG molecules,…

We compare the dispersion relations for spinodally dewetting thin liquid films for increasing magnitude of interfacial slip length in the lubrication limit. While the shape of the dispersion relation, in particular the position of the maximum, are equal for no-slip up to moderate-slip lengths, the position of the maxi…

We studied the structure and mechanical properties of surface films resulting from the adsorption of a dispersed L beta phase at the air-water interface. This L beta phase corresponds to multilamellar vesicles and is formed by a commercial polyglycerol fatty acid ester (PGE) in aqueous solution at temperatures below t…

Single crystals of Sr3Li6M2O11 (M = Nb, Ta) were grown out of a high-temperature Sr(OH)2/LiOH/KOH flux. The single crystal X-ray diffraction data were indexed to the orthorhombic Pmma system, with a = 10.5834(15) A, b = 8.3103(13) A, c = 5.8277(8) A, V = 512.55(13) A(3), and Z = 2 for Sr3Li6Nb2O11 and a = 10.5936(6) A…

The alkali metal was recently found to be a very useful agent for inducing minimally invasive tumor hyperthermia therapy. However, the solid-like metal makes it somewhat inconvenient to perform the surgery. Here, to overcome this drawback, the NaK alloy in liquid state at room temperature was proposed as a highly effi…

Specific heat measurements on a series of ternary compound RCu 2 Si 2 (R: La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) single crystals have been performed by the quasi-adiabatic heat pulse method in the wide temperature range from 0.1 to 80 K. Almost all the compounds show antiferromagnetic orderings at low tem…
