Abstract Surface area of precipitated calcium carbonate was modified by using difuncional compounds f.e.: hydroxyacids, aminoacids, unsaturated acids, their derivatives and silanes. We observed the influence of the degree of surface coverage ratio of calcium carbonate on the properties of modified filler, particularly…

Linear orientational defects (2π and π walls) in freely suspended thin smectic C films exposed to a magnetic field were studied. The bend and splay elastic constants, as well as the orientational viscosity of a two-dimensional c -director field, were determined. It was established that a change in the polar and azimut…

Abstract New types of compatibilizers based on functionalized polypropylene (PP) were synthesized by radical melt grafting either with monomethyl itaconate or dimethyl itaconate. The effect of these new modified PP compounds were tested as compatibilizers in PP/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) blends. Blends with comp…

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) wastes were depolymerized using 1,4-butanediol (BD) and triethylene glycol (TEG) in the presence of zinc acetate as a transesterification catalyst. The glycolyzed products were analyzed for hydroxyl and acid values and identified by elemental analysis, GPC, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, different…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A triple-dose (TD) of gadolinium chelate is highly sensitive approach for detecting lesion activity in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, individual TD injections do not provide data on the severity of the pathologic process in a population of lesions, and its clinical use is limited by the cost…

The first criticality accident in Japan occurred in a uranium processing plant in Tokai-mura on September 30, 1999. The accident, which occurred while a large amount of enriched uranyl nitrate solution was being loaded into a tank, led to a chain reaction that continued for 20 h. Two workers who were pouring the urani…

Abstract A comparative crystallochemical study was performed on natural and synthetic hydrotalcite-like compounds with similar compositions. The nature of the brucite-like sheet stacking was addressed by means of powder X-ray diffraction. From the resulting electron diffraction patterns it was possible to establish th…
