It is verified that an organic light‐emitting display (OLED) device combined with an advanced optical film characterized by the optical combination of a pyramid‐shaped structure coupled with light absorber simultaneously satisfies highly enhanced light extraction and lowly ambient light reflection as one of the long‐awaited needs of OLED. Thus, it does not require a polarizer that reduces optical efficiency in the OLED device. The results of the optical calculation for the OLED device combined with the proposed film indicate that its optical efficiency has been remarkably improved in the entire visible light region, compared to the polarizer‐based OLED device. Then, its external light reflection is ≈10%, which shows it is lower than when a polarizer and optical films are used to reduce the reflection of ambient light. The experimental data of the OLED device coupled with a film for enhancing optical efficiency (FEOE) confirms the intriguing results of the simulation and thus corroborates the fact that FEOE improves the optical efficiency of OLED devices. The highly efficient FEOE‐based OLED will be of significant interest in materials science and display devices.

. Production efficiency as well as the reduction of energy consumption and waste are the main drivers for the improvement of large-scale production in chemical industry. In addition, the demand for new processes – these days especially related to the chemical energy conversion as basis for the Energiewende – are additional triggers for innovation. Catalysis, well recognized by the public e.g. in form of the 3-way automobile catalyst, plays an important role for about 90% of all processes in chemical industry. The development of new and improved catalysts is a challenge for chemists – as is the search for new structural materials for mechanical engineers. Due to the often-necessary noble and thus expensive metals (e.g. palladium) in many catalysts, structural and chemical function have been developed separately in the two communities. Recent progress in catalytically active materials allows replacing expensive noble metals in selected catalytic processes by significant cheaper elements [1]. This offers the new perspective to combine structural and chemical functionality by innovative materials. Within this area, intermetallic compounds with their peculiar combination of crystal and electronic structure [2], represent an interesting class of materials to address this vision as will be shown in the contribution.

UV irradiation produces irreversible damages in the dielectric insulators. Irradiation sources are numerous: partial discharges, parasitic discharges (environmental) or ambient light. The most known effect of irradiation is yellowing indicating an advanced material damage. We already have shown that before yellowing, space charges appear close to the irradiated surface, and increase with the irradiation time. In order to investigate more precisely this phenomenon, electroluminescence measurements and space charges detection were undertaken. For space charge measurements, the FLIMM (Focused Laser Intensity Modulation Method) technique was used. This non destructive method allows localized charges detection and also the carrying out of 3D cartographies with a very good spatial resolution. The studied material was 25 mum thick Poly(ethylene 2.6-naphthalate) (PEN). During the irradiation, the samples were protected by a mask, except a small circular area (D = 4 mm). In this paper, three-dimensional space charges and global electroluminescence (EL) and intensity profiles are shown. The discussion deals with the UV induced modification by studying the difference between the level signal in irradiated zone and a non irradiated one, and the performances of the detection techniques in terms of accuracy.

Communication between design engineers and researchers in materials is of prime importance to both. Design engineers unfamiliar with the latest developments in materials suffer progressive obsolescence. Research scientists need the guidance that comes from application of their work. This paper presents methods of achieving balanced two-way communication in committees, seminars, and symposia, including the responsibilities of participants for maximum effectiveness and the role of management in this segment of their total enterprise.

Metal-support interfaces in ceria-based catalysts

ConspectusNanoporous frameworks are a large and diverse family of supramolecular materials, whose chemical building units (organic, inorganic, or both) are assembled into a 3D architecture with well-defined connectivity and topology, featuring intrinsic porosity. These materials play a key role in various industrial processes and applications, such as energy production and conversion, fluid separation, gas storage, water harvesting, and many more. The performance and suitability of nanoporous materials for each specific application are directly related to both their physical and chemical properties, and their determination is crucial for process engineering and optimization of performances. In this Account, we focus on some recent developments in the multiscale modeling of physical properties of nanoporous frameworks, highlighting the latest advances in three specific areas: mechanical properties, thermal properties, and adsorption.In the study of the mechanical behavior of nanoporous materials, the past few years have seen a rapid acceleration of research. For example, computational resources have been pooled to create a public large-scale database of elastic constants as part of the Materials Project initiative to accelerate innovation in materials research: those can serve as a basis for data-based discovery of materials with targeted properties, as well as the training of machine learning predictor models.The large-scale prediction of thermal behavior, in comparison, is not yet routinely performed at such a large scale. Tentative databases have been assembled at the DFT level on specific families of materials, such as zeolites, but prediction at larger scale currently requires the use of transferable classical force fields, whose accuracy can be limited.Finally, adsorption is naturally one of the most studied physical properties of nanoporous frameworks, as fluid separation or storage is often the primary target for these materials. We highlight the recent achievements and open challenges for adsorption prediction at a large scale, focusing in particular on the accuracy of computational models and the reliability of comparisons with experimental data available. We detail some recent methodological improvements in the prediction of adsorption-related properties: in particular, we describe the recent research efforts to go beyond the study of thermodynamic quantities (uptake, adsorption enthalpy, and thermodynamic selectivity) and predict transport properties using data-based methods and high-throughput computational schemes. Finally, we stress the importance of data-based methods of addressing all sources of uncertainty.The Account concludes with some perspectives about the latest developments and open questions in data-based approaches and the integration of computational and experimental data together in the materials discovery loop.

GE has achieved a leadership position in the worldwide gas turbine industry in both industrial/utility markets and in aircraft engines. This design and manufacturing base plus our close contact with the users provides the technology for creation of the next generation advanced power generation systems for both the industrial and utility industries. GE has been active in the definition of advanced turbine systems for several years. These systems will leverage the technology from the latest developments in the entire GE gas turbine product line. These products will be USA-based in engineering and manufacturing and are marketed through GE Power Systems. Achieving the Advanced Turbine Systems (ATS) goals of 60% efficiency, single-digit NOx, and 10% electric power cost reduction imposes competing characteristics on the gas turbine system. Two basic technical issues arise from this. The turbine inlet temperature of the gas turbine must increase to achieve both the efficiency and cost goals. However, higher temperatures move in the direction of increased NOx emissions. Improved coatings and other materials technologies along with creative combustor design can result in solutions which will achieve the ultimate goal. GE`s view of the market, in conjunction with the industrial and utility objectives, requires the development of Advanced Gas Turbine Systems which encompass two potential products: a new aeroderivative combined-cycle system for the industrial market, and a combined-cycle system for the utility sector that is based on an advanced frame machine.
