Gyroid-to-cylinder transition in a diblock copolymer melt under an electric field is studied by real-space dynamical self-consistent-field theory. Starting from an equilibrium gyroid structure, we apply an electric field along [111], [11̄0], and [112̄] directions of the conventional unit cell of the gyroid structure.…

Within the Landau-de Gennes phenomenological theory, we study the influence of an applied electric field with average strength E{a} on the position of a nematic line defect with topological charge M=+/-1/2 in a hybrid cell. We explore the biaxial structure of the defect core and we describe its expulsion from the cell…

The synthesis of poly(pyrrole), poly(terthiophene), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) with unusual fibrillar morphologies has been achieved by chemical polymerization in a biphasic ionic liquid/water system. Use of aqueous gold chloride as the oxidant, with the monomers dissolved in a hydrophobic ionic liquid, allo…

One of the important routes for the production of zirconia is by chemical treatment and removal of silica from zircon sand (ZrSixOy). We present here a completely green chemistry approach toward enrichment of zirconia in zircon sand; this is based on the reaction of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum with zircon sand by a…

The electrical response of an individual multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) and its contacts, welded to a coplanar waveguide (CPW), was measured up to 24 GHz using a technique that removes environment effects. This is the first time MWNT contact effects have been systematically isolated from the CPW. Each contact resp…

Sheared self-assembled lamellar phases formed by symmetrical diblock copolymers are investigated through dissipative particle dynamics simulations. Our intent is to provide insight into the experimental observations that the lamellar phases adopt parallel alignment at low shear rates and perpendicular alignment at hig…

Using videomicroscopy data of a two-dimensional colloidal system the bond-order correlation function G{6} is calculated and used to determine both the orientational correlation length xi{6} in the liquid phase and the modulus of orientational stiffness, Frank's constant F{A}, in the hexatic phase. The latter is an ani…
