Random fluctuations in current and voltage under free corroding conditions have been measured on austenitic steel 304 in sodium chloride solutions with different aggressiveness. The evolution of these fluctuations in time and frequency domains is analysed and related to the corrosion process on the surface electrode.…

A series of novel functionalized triphenylene discotic dimers was synthesized starting from 2-hydroxy-3,6,7,10,11-pentaalkoxytriphenylene. Nitration of monohydroxypentaalkoxytriphenylene gave the mononitromonohydroxypentaalkoxytriphenylene which was alkylated with 2-bromoethanol. The resulting alcohol was coupled with…

A survey of the literature dealing with the kinetics of epoxy/anhydride polymerizations initiated by tertiary amines, shows inconsistencies in results reported by several authors. Both first-order and autocatalytic expressions have been used to fit experimental results. In the former case, significantly different valu…

Since ebselen is known to have glutathione peroxidase-like activity and inhibitory effects on lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase, we investigated its protective effects against cerebral ischemia in the rat using microdialysis. Ebselen was given through a gastric tube 30 min before occlusion in the experimental groups. I…

Nonplanarity and conformational flexibility of alkyl- and phenyl-substituted rosarin (see diagram) determine its photophysical properties. Both neutral and protonated forms are nonfluorescent. Upon excitation, rapid deactivation occurs by internal conversion to the ground state. Six molecular orbitals have to be taken…

We correct a statement made in a recent paper (Angell S et al 1998 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 10 L73-8) that computer simulations on supercooled liquid silicon were not available. We further point out that the simulations that have been made provide an important confirmation of the findings of Angell et al , from the x…

Abstract Nylon 6 was grafted with a zinc‐neutralized ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer (CP) to produce four different modified polyamides (MPA) with varying CP content. These were mixed with four polyethylenes with different viscosities and the blends were blow‐molded into bottles. The clearest MPA lamina was developed…

Abstract A specimen of zirconolite, collected from the type locality of the mineral originally described as zirkelite at Jacupiranga, São Paulo, Brazil has been re-examined and its mineral chemistry more completely characterized. All crystals studied are metamict and display very fine lamellar oscillatory zoning (1–3…

Abstract The chitosan derivatives containing antiradical fragments in the polymer side chain have been synthesized by interaction of the partially quaternized chitosan(QCH) with gallic acid (GA). The antioxidative activity of the chitosan derivatives — QCH‐GA was investigated by thiobarbituric method. Introduction of…

The initial stages of nucleation during liquid–liquid phase separation in mixtures of high molecular weight polymers was studied by time-resolved small angle neutron scattering. Phase separation was induced either by decreasing temperature or by increasing pressure. One of the blend components was labeled with deuteri…

Within a semiclassical model, we investigate the dynamic neutralization and relaxation of slow ${(E}_{\mathrm{kin}}<100\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV})$ multiply charged ions which are reflected on metal surfaces. Special emphasis is devoted to near-surface interaction mechanisms. Our model includes a Monte Ca…

Joining is an enabling technology for the application of structural ceramics at high temperatures. Metal foil diffusion bonding is a simple process for joining silicon carbide or boron carbide by solid-state, diffusive conversion of the metal foil into carbide and silicide compounds that produce bonding. Metal diffusi…

Ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) was reacted with thioacetic acid in the presence of 2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN), giving rise to thioacetate-modified EPDM (EPDMTA). The extent of the incorporation was studied as a function of both thioacetic acid and AIBN concentration and reaction time. The products were an…

The variation of electrical resistance of near stoichiometric NiTi during some thermo-mechanic procedures was studied in this paper. The results show that when the R-phase does not exist in the near stoichiometric NiTi wire, the electrical resistance of NiTi wire increases linearly with the increase of strain at const…

The in situ thermal poling processes in germanosilicate fibers for positive and negative poling voltages are significantly different. Thermal poling of silica fibers consists of two processes: the faster linear process of charge migration and the subsequent single exponential process of charge ionization. Both the shi…
