Abstract The crystallization kinetics of the high‐flow nylon 6 containing polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers units in nylon 6 matrix was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The Ozawa and Mo equations were used to describe the crystallization kinetics under nonisothermal condition. The values of Avrami ex…

We propose a mechanism for the quenching of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and the quantum Hall effect observed in epitaxial graphene. Experimental data show that the scattering time of the conduction electron is magnetic field dependent and of the order of the cyclotron orbit period, i.e., it can be much smaller…

Suspensions of rod-like colloids show in equilibrium an isotropic–nematic coexistence region, which depends on the strength of an attractive interaction between the rods. We study the behavior of this system in shear flow for various interaction strengths. A hybrid simulation approach is employed, which consists of a…

We study the process of phase separation of colloid polymer mixtures in the (spinodal) two-phase region of the phase diagram in shear flow. We use a counter-rotating shear cell and image the system by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy. The system is quenched from an initially almost homogeneous state at very…

We study the properties of athermal polymers at hard walls using two different versions of self-consistent field theory (SCFT). We calculate the segment density profiles, center of mass profiles, bond orientation vector profiles, and end-to-end vector distributions and compare with grand canonical Monte Carlo simulati…

We have experimentally realized a two-dimensional partial focusing within a planar waveguide using complementary indefinite metamaterials. When the electric fields emitted from the dipole are TE polarized, the focusing condition requires negative magnetic response in the propagation direction of the waveguide, which c…
