We investigate the physical foaming process of glassy poly(ether imide) and poly(ether sulfone) using carbon dioxide and report temperature−concentration diagrams (“foam diagrams”) marking out the foaming envelope in which dense CO 2 -saturated films expand and microvoids are introduced. Two types of porosities are ob…
We present a two-dimensional lattice gas with anisotropic interactions which model the known properties of the surface reconstructions of CdTe and ZnSe. In constrast to an earlier publication [12], the formation of anion dimers is considered. This alters the behaviour of the model considerably. We determine the phase…
The effect of low magnetic fields on the magnetic and electrical transport properties of polycrystalline samples of the phase separated compound La$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ is studied. The results are interpreted in the framework of the field induced ferromagnetic fraction enlargement mechanism. A fraction expansion…
A detailed study of the supramolecular organization of two series of peptide-based diblock oligomers is reported. The diblock oligomers are comprised of an α-helical oligopeptide rod, which is either based on γ-benzyl- l -glutamate or ε-benzyloxycarbonyl- l -lysine, and a short oligo(styrene) coil. The unique feature…

The ability to generate homogeneous particulate thin films of highly oriented and highly porous microparticles of a post transition metal oxide onto polycrystalline and single-crystalline substrates, at low cost, by a template-free, aqueous low-temperature coating process is demonstrated by the fabrication of a large…
Structure−property relationships of aligned block copolymer lamellae in the vicinity of the order−disorder transition are studied by a combination of optical birefringence and rheology. Minimizing defect density was a crucial part of our experiments. The organization of block copolymer chains into aligned lamellae lea…
INTRODUCTION Reinforcement of polymers with a second organic or inorganic phase to produce a polymer composite is common in the production of modern plastics. Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) represent a radical alternative to these conventional polymer composites [1-5]. The most noteworthy effort in the last 15 years ha…
Porous organosilica materials have been synthesized by co-condensation of bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane and N -(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AAPTS) under acidic conditions. Cetyltrimethylammonium chloride was used as a porogen using the surfactant template method. Formation of the mesoscopic composite was…

Ketopantoate reductase (KPR, EC 1.1.1.169) catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of ketopantoate to pantoate on the pantothenate (vitamin B(5)) biosynthetic pathway. The Escherichia coli panE gene encoding KPR was cloned and expressed at high levels as the native and selenomethionine-substituted (SeMet) proteins. Bo…
Abstract Due to the spatial extent of the 5 s and 5 p filled orbitals of lanthanide ions, the shielding of the nuclear charge is not perfect at close distances to the ion. Thus, ligand atoms should experience different effective charge depending upon their distance to the central ion. Using electrostatic arguments and…
Abstract Surface modification of polymers by pulsed plasma has been investigated to minimize degradation reactions occurring at the same time as the surface modification reactions. The hydrogen radical, ion, and electron concentrations in the hydrogen plasma were simulated as a function of the elapsed time after turni…
Photoemission from highly oriented pyrolytic graphite reveals two C $1s$ components separated in binding energy by 120 meV. The high binding-energy component is ascribed to atoms in the outermost atomic layer and the other to deeper layers. The interpretation is based on the low relative intensity observed for the low…
I consider a brush consisting of dendritic polymer end-grafted by its initial segment to a flat, impenetrable surface, in both the molten and solvated cases. The parabolic profile of linear grafted brushes is maintained, but the distribution of the free tips is quite different from the linear brush case. In particular…
We have successfully fabricated ordered, well-crystallized Bi 2 S 3 nanowire arrays embedded in the nanochannels of porous anodic aluminium oxide templates by direct current electrodeposition from a dimethylsulfoxide solution containing BiCl 3 and elemental sulfur. X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffract…
The ring-opening polymerization of 3-methyl-1,4-dioxan-2-one (MDO) mediated by a catalytic system composed of Y[N(TMS) 2 ] 3 and benzyl alcohol (BnOH) led to a new polymer (PMDO) comprised of perfectly alternating lactic acid and ethylene oxide repeat units. Samples of PMDO were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, size…
Summary In this work the role of xylan in spruce kraft pulp fibres was investigated by selectively removing the pulp fibre xylan and also by sorbing xylan onto the pulp fibres. The effects of xylan removal and sorption on fibre properties were measured and the chemical composition of the fibres and also that of the se…
The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance of Xe-ion beam sputtered Fe-Cr multilayers has been investigated. The electrical resistivity between 5 and 300 K in the fully ferromagnetic state, obtained by applying a field beyond the saturation field (H_sat) necessary for the antiferrom…
We present GW many-body results for ground-state properties of two simple but very distinct families of inhomogenous systems in which traditional implementations of density-functional theory (DFT) fail drastically. The GW approach gives notably better results than the well-known random-phase approximation, at a simila…
