Charge density wave surface reconstruction in a van der Waals layered material by Sung-Hoon Lee, Doohee Cho

“…However, it has been commonly believed that surface reconstruction does not occur in van der Waals layered materials, as they do not undergo significant bond breaking during surface formation. In this study, we present evidence that charge density wave (CDW) order in these materials can, in fact, cause CDW surface reconstruction through interlayer coupling. …”

On C-Band Quad-Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar Properties of Ocean Surface Currents by Shengren Fan, Vladimir Kudryavtsev, Biao Zhang, William Perrie, Bertrand Chapron, Alexis Mouche

“…C-band RADARSAT-2 quad-polarized SAR ocean scenes are decomposed into resonant Bragg scattering from regular (non-breaking) surface waves and scattering from breaking waves. Surface current signatures in dual co- and cross-polarized SAR images are confirmed to be governed by the modulations due to wave breaking. …”

On the Use of Biobased Waxes to Tune Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Polyhydroxyalkanoates–Bran Biocomposites by Vito Gigante, Patrizia Cinelli, Maria Cristina Righetti, Marco Sandroni, Giovanni Polacco, Maurizia Seggiani, Andrea Lazzeri

“…The results showed that the wheat bran powder did not act as reinforcement, but as filler for PHBV, due to an unfavorable aspect ratio of the particles and poor adhesion with the polymeric matrix, with consequent moderate loss in mechanical properties (tensile strength and elongation at break). The surface treatment of the wheat bran particles with waxes, and in particular with beeswax, was found to improve the mechanical performance in terms of tensile properties and impact resistance of the composites, enhancing the adhesion between the PHBV-based polymeric matrix and the bran fibers, as confirmed by predictive analytic models and dynamic mechanical analysis results.…”
