Nonrandom porous mullite ceramics with controlled pore geometry have been fabricated using a lost mold process, where the molds were fabricated using the fused deposition process from CAD data. The pore geometry of molds was varied to achieve different pore sizes and shapes. These porous ceramic structures were then t…
Ultrafine grained (∼1 µm) steels are currently the subject of a great deal of research worldwide. They offer the prospect of very high strength with very high toughness from standard steel compositions, and recently it has been shown that such fine grains can be obtained from the hot rolling mill rather than merely fr…
Rough silver surfaces enhance the Raman scattering of adsorbed molecules by many orders of magnitude. The size, shape, and surroundings of the metal particles greatly influence the resulting Raman intensities. With the controlled formation of well-separated silver islands, direct investigation of the local origin of t…
The high-$T$ ``orthorhombic-cubic'' Jahn-Teller (JT) transition of a polycrystalline sample of ${\mathrm{LaMnO}}_{3}$ is studied by Raman scattering. A ${\mathrm{CaMnO}}_{3}$ ceramic sample is used as a reference compound. Dramatic broadening of the ${\mathrm{LaMnO}}_{3}$ Raman modes are observed as T approaches the J…
Several new tripodal tris-urea derivatives are prepared and found to be efficient gelling agents for organic solvents. The structure and thermotropic properties of the gels are studied by electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and FT-IR spectroscopy. Remarkably, the range of solvents to be gelled…
The chemical reactions at the pore tip depend strongly on the choice of the electrolyte. They define the chemical transfer rate, properties and kinetics of the surface passivation, and ultimately the crystal orientation dependence of pore formation. In addition, there exists a number of processes which stabilize pore…
Macroporous silicon is prepared with strongly modulated pore diameter by applying a sawtooth-like illumination profile. Taking into account diffusion limited mass transport, 25 perfectly identical modulations have been achieved, corresponding to a total pore depth of 200 μm. Qualitatively the pore growth may be well c…
Dolomite solubility in water has been measured by a number of different methods during the past several decades, yielding inconsistent and unreliable results that vary more than three orders of magnitude. The most commonly used best value for dolomite solubility in water is based on HCl solution calorimetry at 300.15…
A novel spiro trialicyclic dianhydride, rel[1S,5R,6R]-3-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,4-dione-6-spiro-3′-(tetrahydrofuran-2′,5′-dione) (DAn) was synthesized from itaconic anhydride (1) and cyclopentadiene via a Diels-Alder reaction, nitric acid oxidation, and the subsequent dehydration with acetic anhydride. The structure…
We have investigated the analysis of smoke and gases generated under various thermal decomposition conditions of polyurethane (PU) and fire retarded polyurethane coatings. The use of Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis has allowed the continuous detection of a number of the most important fire gases. We have shown tha…
Combinatorial mutagenesis and in vivo selection experiments previously afforded functional variants of the AroH class Bacillus subtilis chorismate mutase lacking the otherwise highly conserved active site residue Arg(90). Here, we present a detailed kinetic and crystallographic study of several such variants. Removing…
The influence of doping of the Sr x Ba 1− x Nb 2 O 6 ( x =0.61) crystals (SBN-0.61) by rare-earth element (RE) dopants has been investigated. Taking into account the data available in the literature, it is demonstrated that the introduction of all rare-earth metals is accompanied by a substantial decrease in the tempe…
The residual thermoelastic stresses were studied in Al 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 (monoclinic zirconia, m ‐ZrO 2 ) and Al 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 (Y 2 O 3 ) (tetragonal zirconia, t ‐ZrO 2 ) fibrous eutectics that were produced via the laser floating zone method, using different piezospectrosocopic probes. The luminescence of the R ‐lines of r…
Boron‐rich boron nitride (BN) films have been prepared on Si and SiO 2 /Si substrates by the vacuum pyrolysis of spin‐coated polyborazine films. Physical properties of the prepared films such as film strength, thermal conductivity, and dielectrics were determined. The BN films vacuum‐pyrolyzed at 900°C showed residual…
The effect of reaction temperature on the catalytic and photocatalytic oxidation of ethylene on unplatinized and platinized versions of a TiO 2 /ZrO 2 mixed-oxide thin-film catalyst is presented in this study. Ethylene conversion data collected using a recirculating tubular reactor are analyzed using a half order mode…
Four generations of poly(propylene imine) dendrimers have been covalently modified with pyrene moieties and examined by fluorescence spectroscopy. Emission and excitation spectra were obtained so that the generational dependence of the dendrimers, especially the extent of steric crowding, could be correlated to the ph…
The adsorption behavior of the mussel adhesive protein Mytilus edulis foot protein‐1 (Mefp‐1) has been investigated on a negatively charged polar SiO2 surface and an electrically inert non‐polar CH3‐terminated thiolated gold surface. How the structure of adsorbed Mefp‐1 is changed upon chemically and enzymatically ind…
The size effects of ferroelectric particles described by the transverse Ising model have been studied taking into account the long-range interactions. The size dependence of the mean polarization, Curie temperature, and the mean susceptibility, as well as the critical size of the particle, have been obtained. The prof…
ABSTRACT In this study, attempts were made to improve the characteristics of starch‐based plastic foams by blending starch with polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable polymer made from renewable sources. Formulations of the foams (types of starch, ratio of starch to polymer, and moisture content) were optimized. Physi…
To use porous silicon as an optical interferometric biosensor, the pores must be sufficiently large to allow easy ingress of reagents and the layer must also display Fabry-Perot optical cavity modes. Here the detection antibody is rabbit IgG and the analyte is α-rabbit IgG conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). F…
