We report that the optical frame orientation is wavelength independent over the entire transmission range of the nonlinear monoclinic crystal Ca4YO(BO3)3 (YCOB). We used a new method based on internal conical refraction associated with x-ray diffraction on a single crystal cut as a sphere. Direct phase-matching-angle…

Ferroelectric polyamide 11 films were prepared by melt-quenching, cold-drawing and electrical poling. Their ferroelectricity was studied by means of dielectric-hysteresis measurements. A remnant polarisation of up to 35 mC/m/sup 2/ and a coercive field of 75 MV/m were obtained. The piezoelectric d/sub 33/ coefficient…

13C-NMR measurements have been carried out on the quasi two-dimensional organic conductor, α-(BEDT-TTF) 2 I 3 . We measured the angular dependence of 13 C-NMR spectrum at several temperatures above metal-insulator transition temperature, 135 K (=T MI, ). We found that charge (spin) disproportionation already exists in…

We report the preparation of metal-carbonyl-dendrimer-antibody conjugates. These metal-carbonyl-multilabeled antibodies are designed to be used in a new solid-phase-format carbonyl metallo immunoassay (CMIA). A fourth-generation polyamidoamine dendrimer was labeled with 10-25 (eta5-cyclopentadienyl)iron dicarbonyl (et…

Carbon black, silica and calcium carbonate were used as fillers in polypropylene–natural rubber–recycle rubber powder (PP–NR–RRP) composites. The effects of filler loading on processability, tensile properties, swelling behavior and morphology of PP–NR–RRP composites at a fixed weight ratio of 70/15/15 were studied. T…

The take-off run for aerospace composites has been prolonged, but now that designers feel more comfortable with these materials, they are incorporating them into primary aerostructures – as well as into the design codes, qualification loops and other features of the necessarily safety-first aviation culture. As a resu…

A trimer of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) was prepared considering its industrial applications and safety associated with it was compared to normal diisocyanates. The IPDI trimer has been characterized by PMR and IR spectroscopies, physical constant (melting point) and isocyanate content. This trimer was used for pre…

The effects of low-energy electron irradiation on spin-coated films of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) have been studied with fluorescence, mass spectrometry, and a variety of electron spectroscopies, including photoemission. Electron impact by 180 eV electrons causes a decrease in photoluminescence intensity, bro…
