Abstract Reactive extrusion of polypropylene (PP)/natural rubber (NR) (90/10) blends was conducted in the presence of a peroxide [1,3‐bis( t ‐butylperoxy)benzene] and coagent (trimethylolpropanetriacrylate, TMPTA). Effects of peroxide and coagent content were studied in terms of melt index (MI), melt viscosity, morpho…
Abstract Introduction of amidoxime groups into cellulose substrate was investigated by reaction of cyano‐group‐containing celluloses such as cyanoethylcellulose (CE‐Cell) and acrylonitrilegrafted cellulose (G‐Cell) with hydroxylamine at 70°C in water medium (pH = 7.0). Dissolving pulp from softwood was used as the cel…
Correlations in low-frequency atomic displacements predicted by molecular dynamics simulations on the order of 1 ns are undersampled for the time scales currently accessible by the technique. This is shown with three different representations of the fluctuations in a macromolecule: the reciprocal space of crystallogra…
Analytical procedures are developed for a composite system consisting of shape memory alloy fibers within an elastic matrix subject to uniform temperature. Micromechanics for the calculation of the equivalent properties of the composite are prcscnted by extending the multi-cell model to incorporate shape memory alloy…
Ion transport mechanisms in Mg 2+ -stabilized Na + - beta ''-alumina were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Two compositions, different Mg 2+ distributions, and different system sizes were used in the temperature range from 200 K to 1700 K. The trajectory plots of Na + ions and the Na + -Na + radial dist…
We report optical second harmonic generation measurements in single crystal α-SiC of polytype 6H. The angular dependence of second harmonic intensity was consistent with two independent nonvanishing second order susceptibility components, as expected for a crystal with hexagonal symmetry. For the fundamental wavelengt…
Strong and stable blue photoluminescence (PL), visible to the naked eye under 0.4 μW of 300 nm and 2.7 μW of 370 nm excitation, has been observed for samples of Si clusters embedded in SiO2 matrices, prepared by rf co-sputtering followed by N2 annealing at 800 °C. Si K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EX…
The line shapes of multiplet components of the complex x-ray photoemission spectra of the Ta $4f$ core levels in $1T$- and ${4H}_{b}$-Ta${\mathrm{S}}_{2}$ are shown to have different asymmetries associated with the charge density wave induced differences in the densities of states at distinct Ta sites which produce si…
Pseudopotential models are used to study large strain, axial loading of the alkali metals. Various bcc $\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\rightleftarrows}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}$fcc transitions are found to be associated with bifurcations from primary to secondary branch paths, under strict uniaxial load. Theore…
Cohesion properties between carbon nanotubules and potassium atoms are studied using a first-principles total-energy and band-structure approach. The present calculations which assume linearly aligned arrangements of K atoms inside and outside of tubules suggest that the classical wetting picture of capillary action i…
Erratum to Europhys. Lett. 27 (9) 661-666 (1994).
A simple, local cluster interaction is presented, which has as (only) ground states perfectly quasicrystalline tilings from a single local isomorphism class. Since these tilings do not allow for any perfect matching rules, it is thereby shown that the class of structures which are the ground state of some finite range…
The effect of phorbol ester on the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) in murine microglial cells was examined. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a protein kinase C (PKC) activator, alone had no effect, whereas PMA with recombinant interferon (rIFN)-gamma synergistically increased NO synthesis in murine microglial cel…
Rat 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase shares sequence homology with the short-chain alcohol dehydrogenases. Site-directed mutagenesis and chemical modifications were used to examine the roles of cysteine residues and other residues conserved in this family of enzymes. It was found that a highly conserved tyrosine res…
Abstract We have studied the deposition of thin films of a conducting polymer, polypyrrole, onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). Film formation occurs as a result of the in situ polymerization of pyrrole monomer using a 1 : 1 FeCl 3 /5‐sulfosalicylic acid oxidant complex in aqueous solution. We have optimized the polym…
Abstract Compatibility of a crystalline/crystalline polymer blend, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), was studied by high‐resolution solid‐state 13 C‐NMR spectroscopy. The 1 H T 1 measurement demonstrated that both the compatibility and the domain size depend on the composition of the blend. The…
We have studied the secondary structure of native phospholamban (PLB), a 52-residue integral membrane protein that regulates calcium uptake into the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum, as well as its 27-residue carboxy-terminal transmembrane segment (PLB26-52). The relative contents of alpha-helix, beta-strand, and random…
Abstract A new family of bioabsorbable materials suitable for biomedical applications was designed and prepared by means of blending of some available polyesters to develop new biodegradable materials tailored for different requirements. Multiphase polymer blends containing poly( d, l ‐lactide) (PLA), poly(ε‐caprolact…
Using neutron scattering, we have studied the effect of an applied magnetic field on the nematic-isotropic transition temperature ${T}_{c}$ in para-azoxy-anisole (PAA). We have, for the first time, been able to measure a thermal hysteresis width, $({T}_{+}^{*}{\ensuremath{-}T}_{\ensuremath{-}}^{*}){/T}_{c}$, and find…
Detailed measurements of the X-ray scattering from a 400 AA thin film of Nb grown on sapphire have been performed using synchrotron radiation from a bending magnet. Bragg reflections from Nb planes perpendicular to the surface normal have a two-component lineshape: a sharp, essentially resolution-limited peak, superim…
