Obtaining of a PET-CaF2 hybrid multifilament: Non-isothermal crystallization studies

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been mixed with fluorite (CaF₂) particles to obtain micro- and nano-composites aiming to obtain a hybrid multifilament. In first term, the use of two montanic waxes and an amide wax as dispersing agents towards the compatibilization of the inorganic and organic components of the CaF₂/PET composite were considered. To do this, non-isothermal crystallization studies by differential scanning calorimetry have been carried out. Moreover, the influence of the CaF₂ particle size and concentration on the thermal properties of the system have been also studied by this technique. Finally, the extrapolation of the results has materialised as a novel PET/CaF₂ hybrid multifilament. Thermal and mechanical properties and molecular weight of the multifilament have been as well evaluated.     

Double-mode electrostatic dispersing prism for electron pulse time-domain compression

The generalized theory of double-mode electrostatic dispersing prism for time-domain compressing electron pulse is presented. The fundamental difference between the two modes of o mode and e mode lies in the dispersive dependence of electron's time of flight on its initial kinetic energy at prism entrance: the electrons with higher initial axial energy definitely have longer time of flight for o mode, while not the case for e mode, which results from the electron pulse's U-shaped motion in the prism. The dispersive dependence of time of flight constitutes the mechanism of electron pulse compression for each mode. An example is given to demonstrate the issue of parameter choosing for the prism and to verify its tunable performance of compression.

Decay of Correlations and Invariance Principles for Dispersing Billiards with Cusps, and Related Planar Billiard Flows

Following recent work of Chernov, Markarian, and Zhang, it is known that the billiard map for dispersing billiards with zero angle cusps has slow decay of correlations with rate 1/n. Since the collisions inside a cusp occur in quick succession, it is reasonable to expect a much faster decay rate in continuous time. In this paper we prove that the flow is rapid mixing: correlations decay faster than any polynomial rate. A consequence is that the flow admits strong statistical properties such as the almost sure invariance principle, even though the billiard map does not. The techniques in this paper yield new results for other standard examples in planar billiards, including Bunimovich flowers and stadia.

Dispersing and stabilizing silicon nanoparticles in a low-epsilon medium

One possible approach to prevent the oxidation of silicon nanoparticles during a dispersing process is to use a dispersing medium, which does not contain any oxygen atoms in its structure, e.g. toluene. However, dispersing nanoparticles in such a non-polar organic medium is a major challenge, because the particles tend to aggregate very easily. The attempt of wet-grinding non-stabilized SiNP in toluene with a stirred media mill results in μm-sized aggregates that precipitate rapidly. In order to achieve stable suspensions with regard to aggregation a suitable additive, added during the process of dispersion, is necessary. The stabilizing efficiency of several different additives, mostly oligo- and polymeric compounds, was evaluated by investigating the aggregate formation via dynamic light scattering, complemented by scanning electron micrographs. This work demonstrates that the stability of the particulate system and therefore the formation of aggregates can be adjusted selectively by the choice of the additive towards well-dispersed or densified particles. The attachment of the additives upon the surface of the SiNP was examined by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and the surface coverage was quantified by a combination of thermogravimetric analysis and gas sorption experiments.
