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 ...

Optical anisotropy of InAs monolayer in (311)-oriented GaAs matrix

open access: yes, 1997
In-plane optical anisotropy which comes from the heavy hole and the light hole transitions in an InAs monolayer inserted in (311)-oriented GaAs matrix is observed by reflectance difference spectroscopy.

Influence of Softening Temperature of Azobenzene Polymers and External Electric Field on Diffraction Efficiency of Polarization Holograms

open access: yesChemistry Journal of Moldova: General, Industrial and Ecological Chemistry, 2017
Growth of the diffraction efficiency and recording velocity was found in the films of copolymers 4-((2- nitrophenyl) diazeniyl)phenylmethacrylate) with octylmethacrylate at room temperature holographic recording for copolymer with less softening ...

Structural Power Composites Based on High Mass Loading Zn‐Ion Hybrid Supercapacitors with Metal Mesh Current Collectors and Aramid Nanofiber/Glass Fiber Composite Electrolytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional structural power composite is developed by integrating high‐mass‐loading Zn‐ion hybrid supercapacitors with metal mesh current collectors and aramid nanofiber‐based composite electrolytes, enabling simultaneous load‐bearing capability and enhanced areal energy storage.

Biomineral‐Inspired Organic/Inorganic Colloidal Liquid‐Crystalline Hybrids for Photoresponsive Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A new class of photoresponsive liquid‐crystalline (LC) adhesives based on biomineral‐inspired organic/inorganic colloidal hybrids is reported. These colloidal LC materials are formed by hybridization of a hydroxyapatite nanorod with azobenzene‐based forklike molecules.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Optical nonlinearity enhancement via geometric anisotropy

open access: yes, 1997
We investigate the effects of geometric anisotropy on the optical nonlinearity of metal nanocrystals in a dielectric host. By invoking the effective medium approximation for anisotropic composite media, we calculate the spectral density as a function of ...

Effect of shear flow on optical anisotropic film of chromonic liquid crystal

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
The effect of shear flow on an optical anisotropic film of chromonic liquid crystal by use of applicator was investigated. Some chromonic dyes form a rod like aggregation in an aqueous solution and change to a chromonic liquid crystal in a certain ...

Programming Nanoscale Reaction Environments via Peptide Localization for Gold Nanoparticle Growth in Liposomal Nanoreactors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The liposome nanoreactor method enables uniform metal nanoparticle synthesis using the interior as a reaction environment. We demonstrate that peptide sequences and lipid compositions act as a functional molecular switch to control reaction environments in liposome nanoreactors.
