Abstract Crosslinked poly[styrene‐ co ‐(furfuryl methacrylate)] has been produced by the Diels–Alder (D‐A) reaction between the furan ring (within the copolymer) and the maleimide (MI) group (within the other reactant, bismaleimide). The retro D‐A reaction was followed by the analysis of MI groups produced at differen…

Over the past two decades and in particular the past five years, numerous sandwich-type rare earth complexes containing naphthalocyanine ligands have been synthesized. The more extended delocalized π-electron system of naphthalocyanine in comparison with phthalocyanine generates unique physical, spectroscopic, electro…

Anisotropic strain gradient elasticity theory is applied to the solution of a mode III crack in a functionally graded material. The theory possesses two material characteristic lengths, l and l′, which describe the size scale effect resulting from the underlining microstructure, and are associated to volumetric and su…

Abstract The presence of biofilm modifies the electrochemical properties of the interface and the mass transport near the interface. Two biofilm effects are damageable: the reduction of heat and/or mass transfer and the biocorrosion or microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Two kinds of electrochemical sensors…

Ralstonia eutropha accumulates poly(β-hydroxybutyrate) up to 80% of its dry weight (as a carbon andenergy source) and is the best-known PHB producer. Although PHB has many potential applications in medicine, veterinary practice, agriculture and surgery, its high cost limits the widespread use of it. The recentresearch…

Inaccuracies of the Jiles-Atherton model in the region of weak magnetization may be to a large degree removed by introducing a variable pinning parameter. Applying the simple approximate dependence of this parameter on the amplitude of magnetization considerably improves the accuracy of calculations. Additionally, it…

With the aid of several demonstration experiments, it is shown how a stirred scalar mixture relaxes towards uniformity through an aggregation process. The elementary bricks are stretched sheets whose rates of diffusive smoothing and coalescence build up the overall mixture concentration distribution. The cases studied…

Abstract The behavior of ammonia adsorption was studied on various types of surface-treated active carbon (HNO3-AC, H2SO4-AC, HCl-AC, NaOH-AC, CuO-AC, and H2-AC) under 0–75 kPa and 323–473 K. Amount of ammonia adsorption on active carbon was increased by the surface oxidation through acid treatment or metal nitrate de…
