A prerequisite to broaden the performance spectrum of plastics has motivated much interest in blending different types of polymers to obtain materials with enhanced mechanical properties. In order to tailor properties for specific applications, the compatibilization of immiscible polymer blends is of paramount importance....

Provoked by nature’s ingenuity to fabricate astonishingly precise objects from relatively simple molecules, chemists have preferred to manufacture structures that have immense prospective utility....

Ferrites represent a class of materials that are extensively studied due to their electrical and magnetic properties. These materials are widely used both in electrical and in electronics industry for the fabrication of devices and components such as high-density magnetic core of read/write heads for high-speed tape or disk recording....
