Computer Simulations of Self-Diffusion of Adsorbed Water in a Model for Microporous Portland Cement

open access: yes
Microporous cement materials such as some types of Portland cement show swelling and shrinkage with strong hysteresis depending on the humidity. A quantitative theoretical explanation is based on the existence of strong forces mediated by adsorbed water ...

The technological impact of diffusion in nanopores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The impact of nanopore diffusion on the performance of adsorption separation processes is reviewed. Zeolite membrane processes and kinetically selective cyclic adsorption processes depend for their selectivity on differences in intracrystalline diffusion

Embedded Ferroelectric Nanoclusters Can Drive Polarization Reversal in a Non‐Ferroelectric Polar Film via the Proximity Effect

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric nanoclusters create local internal fields in a normally non‐switchable polar film because of polarization mismatch at their interfaces. That field opposes polarization in the regions with larger polarization and reinforces polarization in the regions with smaller polarization.

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...
