The Decisive Role of Confinement in Enhancing or Suppressing Self‐Nucleation in Polyethylene‐Containing Block Copolymers

open access: yesMacromolecular Chemistry and Physics, EarlyView.
The self‐nucleation behavior of crystallizable blocks confined in block copolymer microdomains strongly depends on the degree of confinement. With increasing confinement (from AB to ABA to ABC‐type block copolymers), melt memory and self‐nucleation disappear, i.e., the self‐nucleation Domain (Domain II) is not visible in self‐nucleation studies by ...

Cobalt–Oxygen Bond Homolysis in the Bench‐Stable (Salen*)Cobalt(III) Acetate Complex: Insight into the Organometallic Mediated Radical Polymerization of Diverse Monomers

open access: yesMacromolecular Chemistry and Physics, EarlyView.
The air‐stable [(Salen*)Co(OAc)] complex initiates the radical polymerization of vinyl monomers via Co–O bond homolysis, distinguishing it from classical air‐sensitive cobalt complexes relying on Co‐C bond cleavage. Accordingly, MMA polymerization proceeds via catalytic chain‐transfer while MA undergoes controlled OMRP involving two distinct initiation

Deep learning accelerated the discovery of multi‐principal element alloys with various strength‐toughness trade‐offs

open access: yesMaterials Genome Engineering Advances, EarlyView.
Coupling deep generative models with Pareto optimization, we uncover eight multiprincipal element alloys that outperform existing strength–toughness records after only three design–test cycles, showcasing a rapid data‐efficient route to balanced‐property alloy discovery across high‐dimensional composition spaces.

Numerical Modelling of Frictional Sliding Induced Damage and Heating Effects on Rock With an Application to Sievers’ J‐Miniature Drilling on Granite

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study develops a finite element‐based numerical method for simulation of frictional rotational sliding induced damage and heating effects on rock. The method is applied to the Sievers’ J‐ miniature drill test, which is widely used for estimating the rock drillability and predicting the cutter life.

On Combining Conventional Point‐To‐Point and Automated Waste Collection Systems

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global demand for sustainable waste management has spurred initiatives to improve the efficiency of urban waste collection, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of different systems. We analyze a new combined waste collection problem that uses two systems simultaneously: a point‐to‐point system, in which waste is collected using ...
