Role of droplet deformation on the transient rheological response of a polypropylene/liquid-crystal-polymer blend J. Rheol. 46, 959 (2002); 10.1122/1.1487367 Creep and stress relaxation in a longitudinal polymer liquid crystal: Prediction of the temperature shift factorAbstract. Transient current behaviour of pristine Poly (p-hydroxybenzoic acid-co-ethylene terephthalate) Liquid crystal polymer which is a copolymer of poly ethylene terephthalate and poly p-hydroxybenzoic acid referred as PET/x.PHB polymer liquid crystals have been studied at different biasing electric fields ranging from 13kV/cm to 104.3kV/cm and at temperatures 120 0 C and 250 0 C for molar ratio x=0.8.
Among 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, ultrathin molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets are well researched in terms of synthesis, characterization, and applications owing to their unique properties in contrast to the bulk material. Here, 2D MoS2 suspensions are prepared via grinding-assisted liquid phase exfoliation. The processing parameters like initial concentration of MoS2 powder, grinding hours, solvent, and high-power sonication are optimized for efficient and scalable production of MoS2 nanosheets. The suspensions are characterized for their optical and structural properties and are compared to analyze the effect of synthesis conditions on the properties of the obtained samples. The bandgap of the synthesized MoS2 lies above 2.0 eV in contrast with a bandgap of 1.46 eV for bulk sample. The difference between the peaks corresponding to in-plane and out-of-plane vibration modes is lower than bulk sample depicting the formation of mono to few-layered MoS2. It is found that grinding-assisted sonication in NMP solvent is the most efficient method to produce low-dimensional nanosheets. The well dispersed MoS2 nanoflakes can be blended with other nanomaterials to prepare hybrid dispersions and can thus be explored for optoelectronic applications.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
