A stable magnetic field was applied during hot press molding of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/carbon black (CB)/ carbon nanotube (CNT) composites and HDPE/CB/nickel powder composites. The effect of magnetic field treatment on the temperature-sensing property of LDPE-based positive temperature coefficient (PTC) composites was investigated. Experimental results indicate that the magnetic field treatment can lead to an alignment of CNT and nickel powder in LDPE along the direction of the applied external magnetic field. The alignment of these filler particles can endow the composites with low room-temperature resistivity and high PTC intensity when the concentration of CB is decreased. The alignment also can significantly improve mechanical property and processability of the composites. Compared with CNT, nickel powder with strong magnetism has more sensitive response to external magnetic field and is much easier to align in LDPE. Addition of nickel powder is beneficial for developing PTC composites with excellent comprehensive properties.

Bimetallic gold-silver nanoparticles as unique catalysts were prepared using seed colloidal techniques. The catalytic capabilities of the nanoparticles were ascertained in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the presence of sodium borohydride. Our results clearly showed that the rate of 4-NP reduction to 4-AP increased with a corresponding decrease in the diameter of the bimetallic NPs. The Au-Ag nanoparticles prepared with 5.0 mL Au seed volume indicated higher reduction activity, which was approximately 1.2 times higher than that of 2.0 mL Au seed volume in the reductive conversion of 4-NP to 4-AP. However, the monometallic NPs showed relatively less catalytic activity in the reductive conversion of 4-NP to 4-AP compared to bimetallic Au-Ag nanoparticles. Our studies also reinforced the improved catalytic properties of the bimetallic Au-Ag nanoparticles structure with a direct impact of the size or diameter and relative composition of the bimetallic catalytic nanoparticles.

A modification of the Penrose criterion is applied to the local dispersion relation for low-frequency, electrostatic instabilities in a low-density, slightly inhomogeneous magnetoplasma. The Nyquist diagrams obtained can be classified according to their behaviour near the origin; this is sufficient in some cases to conclude that the equilibrium is unstable. With this method, in the limit of negligible ion Larmor radius, we find that the Langmuir waves propagating in a direction orthogonal to the external magnetic field are driven unstable by a temperature gradient.
