The effective medium theory of one-dimensional and two-dimensional periodic structures are investigated. A method based on a Fourier decomposition of the wave propagating along the direction perpendicular to the periodic structures allows one to determine the zeroth-, first- and second-order effective indices. For one…

Crystallization is necessary to obtain the three-dimensional structure of proteins and nucleic acids; it often represents the bottleneck in structure determination. Our understanding of crystallization mechanisms is still incomplete. In this review, we emphasize fundamental aspects of the crystallization process. Prot…

Cellulose is one of the major commercial products of Sweden and constitutes the most abundant of the natural polymer systems. Thus, it is of interest to review the molecular design and architecture of cellulose with particular reference to the controls of its biosynthesis. The bioassembly process is highly ordered and…

Abstract The dehydroxylation of a series of the kaolinite clay minerals, kaolinite, halloysite and dickite, has been investigated by Fourier transform in situ infrared emission spectroscopy over a temperature range of 100 to 800°C at both 50 and 5° intervals. Excellent correspondence was obtained between the high temp…

Abstract Poly(lactide)s (PLA) with different optical purities (OP) were synthesized by copolymerization of D‐lactide and L‐lactide. Crystallization of D‐ and L‐lactide‐rich copolymers before and after 1 : 1 blending was studied from the melt over a wide range of annealing temperatures (T a ) using differential scannin…

The fundamentals of wetting and wicking are reviewed. Wetting is the displacement of a fiber-air interface with a fiber-liquid interface. Wicking is the spontaneous flow of a liquid in a porous substrate, driven by capillary forces. Because capillary forces are caused by wetting, wicking is a result of spontaneous wet…

Low-density (250–350 kg/m3) porous concrete has good thermal insulation and acoustical properties. However, the determination of these properties requires a lot of time and is rather costly. Changes in these properties can be determined, if the porous concrete air penetrability, which can be simply found, is known. Th…

Nonlinear bleaching of output mirrors, made of a nonabsorbing cholesteric, in an Nd:YAG laser was investigated. In the cw regime there was no difference between the output powers of lasers with dielectric and cholesteric mirrors. In the pulse-periodic regime (pulse duration 500 ns, repetition frequency 4.5 kHz) the la…

The grafting preference of vinyl acetate onto the methine carbon of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) versus the acetate group of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) was determined as part of an attempt to prepare novel branched PVOH from partially hydrolyzed PVAc. The results showed long chain grafting on the acetate groups of the P…

The relaxation of the magnetization in big molecular groups embedded in crystals is studied and compared with experimental data on Mn 12 O 12 . At sufficiently high temperatures (T > 2 K in Mn 12 O 12 ) the relaxation is thermally activated, and the exchange of energy with phonons produces relaxation through a casc…

Various amounts of hydroxy terminated PDMS were linked into PLLA chains via in-situ ring opening polymerization at a very low content of SnOt2. The 1H and FTIR spectra provided evidence for the incorporation of the PDMS in the PLLA chains. The molecular weights, Tg, Tm, crystallinity and the heats of fusion decreased…
