Anisotropy of the zigzag order in the Kitaev honeycomb magnet α-RuBr3 by Pearce, JS, Kaib, DAS, Ma, Z, Ni, D, Cava, RJ, Valenti, R, Coldea, R, Coldea, AI

“…Based on angular-dependent torque studies in magnetic fields up to 16 T rotated in the plane normal to the honeycomb layers, we find an easy-plane anisotropy with a temperature dependence of the torque amplitude following closely the behaviour of the powder magnetic susceptibility. …”

Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

Low-profile and end-fire antennas for airborne applications by Chen, Zhuozhu

“…For example, the performance of log-periodic, Yagi-Uda and Vivaldi antennas is very sensitive to the conducting ground-plane on which these antennas are mounted. H-plane horn antennas can hardly achieve wide bandwidth and maintain low profile simultaneously. …”

Synthesis of epoxidized poly(ester carbonate)-b-polyimide-b-poly(ester carbonate) : reactive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersants enable synergistic reinforcement around multi... by Liu, Bo, Liu, Chengyin, De Luca, Hugo G., Raman Pillai, Suresh Kumar, Anthony, David B., Li, Jianghua, Bismarck, Alexander, Shaffer, Milo S. P., Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…Herein, PI-derived block copolymers are synthesized via ring-opening copolymerization of lactide (LA) (a control monomer) and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)-propylene carbonate (MAC) from the OH-terminal ends of the PI block to produce PLA-PI-PLA (TB1, a control) and PMAC-PI-PMAC (TB2). …”
