Linear assembles of BN nanosheets (LABNs) were fabricated in polysiloxane/BN nanosheet composite film under a high DC electric field. The hexagonal BN nanosheets were dispersed by sonication in a prepolymer mixture of polysiloxane followed by a high-speed mixing. The homogeneous suspension was cast on a spacer of microscale thickness and applied to a high DC electric field before it became cross-linked. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and digital microscopy revealed that LABNs formed in the polysiloxane matrix and that the BN nanosheets in the LABNs were aligned perpendicular to the film plane with high anisotropy. This is the first time that linear assemblies of nanosheets have been fabricated in an organic-inorganic hybrid film by applying a DC electric field. The enhanced thermal conductivity of the composite film is attributed to the LABNs. The LABN formation and heat conduction mechanisms are discussed. The polysiloxane/BN nanosheet composite film has the potential to be used semiconductor applications that require both a high thermal conductivity and a high electric insulation.

In the paper the concept of conductive particle rotation in DC electric field with including the Lorentz force providing generation of electric dipole moment of the particle is for the first time discussed. Some models of the torque transfer to spherical and cylindrical particles based on of the Hall effect at usual geometry and with additional electric field application and also in the case of implementation of the photoelectromagnetic effect are presented.

We investigate the AC electric field controlled filament thinning and droplet formation dynamics of one non-Newtonian fluid. Furthermore, for the first time, we quantitatively measure the flow field of the non-Newtonian droplet formation under the influence of AC electric field, via a high-speed micro particle imaging velocimetry (μPIV) system. We discover the viscoelasticity contributes to the discrepancies majorly.

TiO2-ZrO2composite film with the grain size of 50 nm was synthesized by electric field and heat (EF&H) treatments. Portions of O atoms in the TiO2network structure were replaced by N atoms as revealed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses, suggesting formation of a nonstoichiometric compoundTiO2-xNxon the composite film. The UV-Vis spectra of the film suggested that the visible light with wavelength of 550 nm could be absorbed for the N-doped composite film after EF&H treatment in comparison to a cutoff wavelength of 400 nm for the composite film without EF treatment. Photocatalytic experiments showed that the degradation rate of methylene blue by N-doped composite films increased significantly under visible light irradiation. The partial replacement of O by doped N played a very important role in narrowing the band gap and improving the visible light photocatalytic reactivity.

Graphite nanosheets (GNs) prepared by sonicating expanded graphite were homogeneously dispersed in unsaturated polyester resin using sonication. The dispersion with a curing agent was then subjected to a dc electric field, followed by crosslinking, to fabricate a polymer/GN composite film. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the GNs in the film were oriented parallel to the electric field. UV-VIS measurements indicated that the optical properties of the field-induced composite film showed significant improvement in visible light transmittance compared with those prepared without the electric field.

On the basis of the finite element calculation theory of electric field, the electric field distribution in a representative electrospinning device is computed. The electric field structure of a needle-plate type electrospinning device was simulated by means of ANSYS software. And the vector distribution of the nozzle on the spinneret pipe was got. For the purpose of the analysis on the influence of different solvent ratios on the performance of a single electrospun PVDF/PEI composite film, polyvinylidene fluoride and polyetherimide with a mass ratio of 8/2 were dissolved in a mixed solvent. The mixed solvent is composed of N,N-dimethylformamide and tetrahydrofuran, added in different proportions. Through the electrostatic spinning technology, PVDF/PEI composite fiber membranes were prepared. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and mechanical properties testing, the effects of tetrahydrofuran on the composite microstructure, crystallinity, and mechanical properties of the PVDF/PEI composite fiber membranes are discussed.

We have experimentally identified and quantified an electrokinetic flow instability that occurs in DC-electric-field driven microfluidic channels with significant conductivity gradients. We have, for the first time, developed a physical model for this instability which captures the interactions between bulk charge accumulation, electromigration, convection, and diffusion. A linear stability analysis based on this model captures key physics of this convective instability with a threshold electric field. The model and experiments show conductivity gradients and their associated bulk charge accumulation are crucial for such instabilities.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric triglycine sulphate crystals have been grown under the influence of an intense electric field of 6×104 V/m. Relative to crystals grown under ambient conditions (TGS) the crystals grown under the electric field (TGS-E) display a dielectric permittivity a factor of two lower. Significant differences are observed in the Curie-Weiss behavior of the ferroelectric phase, in the x-ray diffraction patterns and in the differential calorimetry measurements.

In this work, a series of Bi2Te3/X mol% MoS2 (X = 0, 25, 50, 75) bulk nanocomposites were prepared by hydrothermal reaction followed by reactive spark plasma sintering (SPS). X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) indicates that the native nanopowders, comprising of Bi2Te3/MoS2 heterostructure, are highly reactive during the electric field-assisted sintering by SPS. The nano-sized MoS2 particles react with the Bi2Te3 plates matrix forming a mixed-anion compound, Bi2Te2S, at the interface between the nanoplates. The transport properties characterizations revealed a significant influence of the nanocomposite structure formation on the native electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity of the initial Bi2Te3 matrix. As a result, enhanced ZT values have been obtained in Bi2Te3/25 mol% MoS2 over the temperature range of 300–475 K induced mainly by a significant increase in the electrical conductivity.
