Epoxy resin (EP) is one of the most famous thermoset materials. In general, because EP has a three-dimensional random network, it possesses thermal properties similar to those of a typical heat insulator. Recently, there has been substantial interest in controlling the network structure of EP to create new functionalities. Indeed, the modified EP, represented as liquid crystalline epoxy (LCE), is considered promising for producing novel functionalities, which cannot be obtained from conventional EPs, by replacing the random network structure with an oriented one. In this paper, we review the current progress in the field of LCEs and their application to highly thermally conductive composite materials.

Confidence Scale

We study the dynamics of minority opinion spreading using a proposed simple model, in which the exchange of views between agents is determined by a quantity named confidence scale. To understand what will promote the success of minority, two types of networks, random network and scale-free network are considered in opinion formation. We demonstrate that the heterogeneity of networks is advantageous to the minority and exchanging views between more agents will reduce the opportunity of minority's success. Further, enlarging the degree that agents trust each other, i.e. confidence scale, can increase the probability that opinions of the minority could be accepted by the majority. We also show that the minority in scale-free networks are more sensitive to the change of confidence scale than that in random networks.

Link Distribution

Language has already been approached as a system since De Saussure, and recently the theory of complex systems has been applied within Linguistics as well. Complex systems, however, can also be modelled as complex networks, and a variety of studies investigating the network structure of language have already been undertaken worldwide. The current study follows in the footsteps of overseas studies and investigates the network structure of Afrikaans by analysing a word co-occurrence network compiled from André P. Brink’s novel Donkermaan. Link distribution patterns and the small-world phenomenon are investigated and then compared to the English and Dutch translations of this novel. The current study represents the first network study of Afrikaans. Firstly, the random network model of Erdös and Rényi and the scale-free network model by Barabási and Albert are used to indicate that the link distribution patterns in a word co-occurrence network of Afrikaans are better described according to the network model of Barabási and Albert than by that of Erdös and Rényi. Furthermore, the method proposed by Humphreys and Gurney to define smallworldedness (S) was used to quantify this phenomenon for the Afrikaans, as well as English and Dutch versions of the text. With 522 ≤ S ≤ 797, it is indicated that Afrikaans, English and Dutch are all clearly small-world networks. Suggestions are also made for further research.

The paper describes the developed statistically averaged models of deformation of materials with a random network structure of differently oriented fibers. New methods of stress-strain analysis and micromacromechanical models of material deformation in the volume of bodies made of material with a network structure taking into account structural and physical nonlinearities have been created. These models are based on the micromechanics of network structures at the level of statistical sets of their chains. The novelty of approaches, models, methods and results is the creation of theoretical foundations for the analysis of the deformation of non-traditional network materials. Nonlinear mathematical models of material deformation in the form of a chaotic network structure of one-dimensional fragments are proposed, which are constructed involving fundamentally new approaches to the description of physical and mechanical properties at the micro level of statistical sets of fiber chains and spatial homogenization of their macroproperties. Compared to traditional models, they more adequately model the features of material deformation in the form of spatial chaotic and ordered network structures, as they do not involve a number of additional non-physical hypotheses. This creates fundamentally new opportunities not only for analyzing the properties of such materials, but also when creating new ones with specified properties. Using the created methods, models and research tools, the basis for solving a number of model and applied problems has been created. The nature of deformation of non-traditional materials with a network structure of one-dimensional elements is determined. The macro-properties of these materials are established on the basis of the developed micromechanical models, variational formulations and averaging methods.

Medium Range

The atomic structure of medium-range order in metallic glasses is investigated by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Glass formation processes were simulated by rapid cooling from liquid phases of a model binary alloy system of different-sized elements. Two types of short-range order of atomic clusters with the five-fold symmetry are found in glassy phases: icosahedral clusters (I-clusters) formed around the smaller-sized atoms and Frank–Kasper clusters (i.e., Z14, Z15, and Z16 clusters (Z-clusters)) formed around the bigger-sized atoms. Both types of clusters (I-and Z-clusters) are observed even in liquid phases and the population of them goes up as the temperature goes down. A considerable atomic size difference between alloying elements would enhance the formation of both the I- and Z-clusters. In glassy phases, the I- and Z-clusters are mutually connected to form a complicated network, and the network structure becomes denser as the structural relaxation goes on. In the network, the medium-range order is mainly constructed by the volume sharing type connection between I- and Z-clusters. Following Nelson’s disclination theory, the network structure can be understood as a random network of Z-clusters, which is complimentarily surrounded by another type of network formed by I-clusters.
