In this study, the effect of soft segment chemistry on the phase morphology and in vivo response of commercial-grade poly(ether urethane) (PEU), silicone-modified PEU (PEU-S), poly(carbonate urethane) (PCU), and silicone-modified PCU (PCU-S) elastomers were examined. Silicone-modified polyurethanes were developed to c…
We show that alpha-Fe2O3- and Fe3O4-pillared graphites can be prepared by pillaring graphite oxide with trinuclear iron acetato complex ion and calcining it in air and in vacuo, respectively. A pillared graphite structure is confirmed by transmission electron microscopy observations. The adsorption isotherms of water…
The stability and the formation and dissolution kinetics of mixed trace metal precipitates in soils are currently unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate slow sorption and release processes of Zn and Ni in a loamy soil using a combination of soil column experiments and extended X-ray absorption fine st…
Comprehensive temperature scans of the resistivity of a high-quality sample of ${\mathrm{PrNiO}}_{3}$ were made under different pressures up to 30 kbar; they have revealed that the insulator phase is suppressed completely at $P\ensuremath{\approx}13\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{kbar}$, transforming to a non-Fermi-liquid pha…
In this communication, we report the synthesis and characterization of organic-capped core/shell CoFe2O4/MnO nanoparticles. Magnetic properties of the core/shell nanoparticles were compared to those of individual CoFe2O4 and MnO nanoparticles prepared with similar methods. Magnetic measurements revealed that the core/…
A graphite exfoliation technique, using intercalation of a concentrated sulfuric/nitric acid mixture followed by a thermal shock, has successfully exfoliated a herringbone graphite nanofiber (GNF). The exfoliated GNF retains the overall nanosized dimensions of the original GNF, with the exfoliation temperature determi…
Adsorbed layers of "comb-type" copolymers consisting of PEG chains grafted onto a poly(l-lysine) (PLL) backbone on niobium oxide substrates were studied by colloid-probe AFM in order to characterize the interfacial forces associated with coatings of varying architectures (PEG/PLL ratios and PEG chain lengths) and thei…
We present a practical scheme for performing error estimates for Density Functional Theory calculations. The approach which is based on ideas from Bayesian statistics involves creating an ensemble of exchange-correlation functionals by comparing with an experimental database of binding energies for molecules and solid…
The oxidation of ammonia on platinum surfaces is a structure sensitive reaction that takes place almost exclusively on Pt(100) sites. This report shows how dependent the activity is on different arrangements of (100) sites of platinum. The effect of two-dimensional domains has been addressed by using stepped surfaces…
Valley lines on total-energy surfaces for the zone-center distortions of free-standing and in-plane strained SrTiO3 are investigated with a newly developed first-principles structure optimization technique [Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. vol.43 (2004), p.6785]. The results of numerical calculations confirmed that the ferroelectr…
Photoacoustic (PA) wave has been examined in a superconductor of the first kind, Pb single crystal. The PA wave is induced by optical excitation of electronic state and propagates from normal into superconductive phases below T$_{\rm C}$. It is clearly shown by wavelet analysis that the measured PA wave includes two d…
Energy landscapes of $(2\overline{1}\overline{1})⟨111⟩$ deformation twinning in bcc Mo and $(111)⟨11\overline{2}⟩$ deformation twinning in fcc Al and Cu are determined using density functional theory for sliding of layers numbering up to 7. In bcc Mo, the minimum thickness of a metastable twin is two layers, while twi…
Gold nanorods prepared by a seed-mediated growth approach use ∼4-nm gold nanospheres as the seeds and subsequent reduction of metal salt with a weak reducing agent (ascorbic acid) in the presence of a directing surfactant to produce nanorods. If insufficient ascorbic acid is added in the growth step, then metal salt r…
Chemically cross-linked polymers are inherently limited by stresses that are introduced by post-gelation volume changes during polymerization. It is also difficult to change a cross-linked polymer's shape without a corresponding loss of material properties or substantial stress development. We demonstrate a cross-link…
The wet air oxidation of phenol over a commercial active carbon catalyst has been studied in laboratory-scale and pilot-plant fixed-bed reactors at mild temperatures and oxygen partial pressures of 120−160 °C and 0.05−0.2 MPa, respectively. The performances of the fixed-bed reactors have been assessed and compared to…
The loading time and temperature dependences viscoelastic behavior of a soda‐lime‐silicate glass (SLS) were studied by indentation creep experiments. Experiments were conducted in air, water and silicone oil with 15–10 000 s loading times, and temperatures ranging between 100 and 500 K. The indentation size was found…
Layered silicates were intercalated with comb-branched copolymers consisting of a hydrophobic polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene/butylene)-b-polystyrene (SEBS) backbone and multiple pendants of poly(oxyalkylene) (POA) quaternary ammonium salts. The requisite intercalating agents were synthesized by grafting POA amines on the…
Binary collision-induced hyper-Rayleigh (CIHR) spectra of Kr-Xe gaseous system are computed quantum mechanically and classically within the frequency range up to 380 cm(-1). The intensities are expressed in absolute units. The details of the theory developed for the CIHR spectra are given and the properties of the pro…
The adsorption of water molecules on an oxygen-predosed p(2x2)-Ni(111)-O surface was studied by surface x-ray diffraction and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) at temperature of 25 and 140 K. Precise structures including adsorbed water, predosed oxygen, and substrate nickel atoms at these two temperat…
This paper utilizes molecular-dynamics simulations to investigate the mechanical characteristics of a suspended (10, 10) single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) during atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanoindentation at different temperatures. Spontaneous topological transition of the Stone-Wales (SW) defects is clearly ob…
