A swift and effective technique was employed to fabricate a novel supramolecular metallohydrogel, named Mg@5AP, by incorporating Mg(II) ions. This groundbreaking gel utilized 5-amino-1-pentanol as low molecular weight gelator,...
A different kind of multiferroics with composite character, xLa0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO)–(1−x)ErMnO3 (EMO) (x=0.1, 0.2), where EMO is the ferroelectric (FE) and LSMO ferromagnetic (FM) component, has been studied. Magnetization versus magnetic field measurements at 300K show prominent hysteresis loops, attesting room temperature FM behavior these multiferroic composites. Dielectric constant (ε) as a function reveals that paraelectric-FE transition TC* (525K) maximum value ε (318) remain almost...
Ge nanocrystals of different sizes and densities have been grown on p-Si(100) substrates by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. We also synthesized embedded in a SiO2 matrix, using suitable target, followed post-deposition annealing at 900 °C N2 atmosphere. Atomic force transmission electron micrographs revealed the formation clusters Si within respectively. Infrared x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to study chemical bonding deposited films. Raman spectra for matrix show peak 300...
Abstract Graphene nanoplatelet loading is varied in carbon black‐filled nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to form a hybrid system. The mechanical properties of the system are determined by performing tension and compression tests. It found that graphene nanosheets well dispersed possessing strong interfacial interaction with NBR black. There an increment 9% tensile strength 4 phr without hampering ultimate strain. Further addition resulted degraded properties. Hyperelastic material models...
ABSTRACT The contribution of carbon black (CB) on changes in cross-link density (n) and physical entanglement has been quantified by swelling uniaxial stress–strain measurements considering Mooney–Rivlin parameters.
