Nanostructures of diverse chemical nature are used as biomarkers, therapeutics, catalysts,
and structural reinforcements. The decoration with surfactants has a long history and is …

Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) membranes prepared by carbonization of polymers containing
strongly size-sieving ultramicropores are attractive for high-temperature gas separations. …

Detailed comparison of temperature dependences of segmental (τ α ) and chain (τ n )
relaxation times shows that decoupling of these relaxation processes occurs (the ratio τ n /τ α …

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) memorize and recover their permanent shapes with their
strain levels up to a few hundred percent. This unique capability enables significant, potential …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are materials that can recover a large pre-deformed shape
in response to environmental stimuli. For a thermally activated amorphous SMP, the pre-…

Shape memory polymers have attracted increasing research interest due to their capability
of fixing a temporary shape and associated deformation energy then releasing them later on …

Flux decline due to membrane fouling prevails in almost all pressure-driven liquid separations.
The factors controlling fouling, ranging from surface chemistry to topographic roughness, …

Classical materials readily switch phases (solid to fluid or fluid to gas) upon changes in
pressure or heat; however, subsequent reversion of the stimulus returns the material to their …

The large pre-trained BERT has achieved remarkable performance on Natural Language
Processing (NLP) tasks but is also computation and memory expensive. As one of the powerful …

Quantization has emerged as one of the most prevalent approaches to compress and
accelerate neural networks. Recently, data-free quantization has been widely studied as a …
