single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnt) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(mwcnt) were melt-blended with polyvinylidene fluoride (pvdf).ft-ir technique revealed that swcnt has insignificant effect on the crystalline structure of pvdf and at 3wt% modification only 14% beta crystal isformed. this observation was accounted for by the chair structure of swcnt. in mwcnt nancomposites it was found that...

In the title compound, C(8)H(10)N(2), the cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation. he crystal structure of the previously reported monoclinic modification have intramolecular CN⋯CN and C-H⋯N interactions. These types of interaction are not present in this new modification whose crystal structure is built up by van der Waals interactions.

– Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the interplay between two different anchoring effects of spherocylinders on a modified surface consisting of hard walls onto which liquid-crystal molecules have been perpendicularly grafted. By varying both the length and grafting density of the surface molecules, a number of different and novel anchoring regimes are observed including: pla...

modification of the mechanical properties of silicone rubber were considered for drug delivery systems by using high-energy electron beam (e-beam). in this research work, two different medical grades of silicone rubbers were used to prepare matrices containing 10wt% progesterone with 2 mm thickness and irradiated with e-beam at dose range of 25 up to 200 kgy. then, the mechanical properties as ...

Spatiospecific functionalisation of a shell crystal was performed in a core-shell crystal of a porous coordination polymer (PCP) via post-synthetic modification (PSM). The shell crystal allowed the core crystal to selectively accumulate N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) and afford the intense exciplex fluorescence.
