The Impact of Carbon Nanotube Length and Diameter on their Global Alignment by Dead-End Filtration

December 22, 2022
Author(s)
Christopher Rust, Pavel Shapturenka, Manuel Spari, Andreas Bacher, Qihao Jin, Han Li, Markus Guttmann, Ming Zheng, Tehseen Adel, Angela R. Hight Walker, Jeffrey Fagan, Benjamin Flavel
Dead-end filtration on polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated polycarbonate track-etched membranes has proven to be an effective method to prepare macroscopically (3.8 cm²) aligned thin films from solution-based single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). However, to make

Crystallization Kinetics in an Immiscible Polyolefin Blend

December 12, 2022
Author(s)
Derek Huang, Anthony Kotula, Chad R. Snyder, Kalman Migler
Motivated by the problem of brittle mechanical behavior in recycled blends of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and isotactic polypropylene (iPP), we employ optical microscopy, rheo-Raman, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to measure the

2D honeycomb transformation into dodecagonal quasicrystals driven by electrostatic forces

December 7, 2022
Author(s)
Sebastian Schenk, Oliver Krahn, Eric J. Cockayne, Holger Meyerheim, Marc de Boissieu, Stefan Foerster, Wolf Widdra
Dodecagonal oxide quasicrystals are well established as examples of long range aperiodic order in two dimensions. However, despite investigations by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), low-energy electron microscopy

Elemental excitations in MoI3 one-dimensional van der Waals nanowires

November 28, 2022
Author(s)
Fariborz Kargar, Zahra Barani, Nicholas Sesing, Thuc Mai, Topojit Debnath, Huairuo Zhang, Yuhang Liu, Yanbing Zhu, Subhajit Ghosh, Adam Biacchi, Felipe H. da Jornada, Ludwig Bartels, Tehseen Adel, Angela R. Hight Walker, Albert Davydov, Tina Salguero, Roger Lake, Alexander Balandin
We report the polarization-dependent Raman spectrum of exfoliated MoI3, a van der Waals material with a "true one-dimensional" crystal structure that can be exfoliated to individual atomic chains. The temperature evolution of several Raman features reveals

Vacancy-Driven Disorder and Elevated Dielectric Response in the Pyrochlore Pb 1.5 Nbd2^O 6.5

November 21, 2022
Author(s)
Uyen Dang, Jake O'Hara, Hayden Evans, Daniel Olds, Juan Chamorro, Daniel Hickox-Young, Geneva Laurita, Robin Macaluso
Lone-pair driven distortions are a hallmark of many technologically-important lead (Pb)-based materials. The role of Pb 2+ in polar perovskites is well understood and easily manipulated for applications in piezo- and ferroelectricity, but the control of

Aluminum Formate, Al(HCOO)3: An Earth-Abundant, Scalable, and Highly Selective Material for CO2 Capture

November 2, 2022
Author(s)
Hayden Evans, Dinesh Mullangi, Zeyu Deng, Yuxiang Wang, Shing B. Peh, Fengxia Wei, John Wang, Craig Brown, Dan Zhao, Pieremanuele Canepa, Anthony K. Cheetham
A combination of gas adsorption and gas breakthrough measurements show that the metal-organic framework, Al(HCOO) 3 (ALF), which can be made inexpensively from commodity chemicals, exhibits excellent CO 2 adsorption capacities and outstanding CO 2/N 2

Prestress in Composite Polymer Gels as a Model for Articular Cartilage

November 2, 2022
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas, Peter Basser, Ferenc Horkay
Articular cartilage is a composite gel-like material found in animal and human joints and exhibits a unique load-bearing performance that has been challenging to reproduce in synthetic materials and in molecular dynamics simulations. We investigate a

Visualization of multi-orientational ordering within a single domain of donor non-fullerene acceptor blends

November 1, 2022
Author(s)
Eliot Gann, Christopher McNeill, Urvashi Bothra, Pramiti Hui, Wen Liang Tanc, Hariprasad Venugopal, Chandramouli Subramaniam, Amelia C.Y. Liu, Dinesh Kabra
We have studied the tailored micron-scale phase-separated bulk heterojunction (BHJ) morphology of the well-known polymer (PTB7-Th) and a narrow bandgap acceptor 2,2'-[[4,4,9,9-Tetrakis(4-hexylphenyl)-4,9-dihydro-s-indaceno [1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene-2,7
