The behavior of ferroelectric liquid crystals in an external electric field is simulated numerically. The equations that describe the dynamics of the director of a liquid crystal are derived within the continuum theory of elasticity with due regard for compressibility of smectic layers, finite anchoring energy, and di…

Dispersion analysis was performed on Fourier transform infrared transmission spectra taken on thermally grown SiO 2 films on Si(100) substrates at 950°C in dry oxygen with thicknesses between 14 and 100 nm. It was found that within the range 900 1400 cm − 1 , these spectra were best described by four Lorentzian osci…

Abstract A new class of phenalenyl‐based neutral radical molecular conductors has recently been reported; a distinctive feature of these molecular solids is the absence of the well‐defined conducting pathway(s) that are characteristic of the organic charge‐transfer salts. These radicals do not stack in the solid state…

A benzene-ethanol-water mixture was investigated as the solvent medium in synthesizing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The process of carboxymethylation was optimized to produce CMC with DS > I.0, solution viscosity about 1500 mpa·s, and with uniform distribution of substituents. It is possible to scale up this process…

The electrical breakdown of insulating materials is strongly affected by the formation of space charge in the bulk of materials. Many researchers have attempted to study the relationship between the space charge and the breakdown, but it has not been clarified yet. Although the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method has…

A toughening concept for glass, based on exploiting the ferroelastic effect of piezoelectric particles embedded in a glass matrix, is described. It is hypothesized that the domains within a piezoelectric phase will align themselves in the direction of the stress field around an advancing crack, thus absorbing energy a…

The results presented in this article demonstrate the feasibility of “all‐solid‐state” inorganic electrochromic (EC) variable emittance coatings (VEC) for thermal management in space. VECs were built on glass substrates, flexible polyimide (Kapton™) films, and on high resistance silicon wafers. The best VECs were foun…

Purpose: Renal vasoconstriction with resultant tissue hypoxia, especially in the renal medulla, has been suggested to play a role in contrast media (CM)-induced nephropathy. Endothelin (ET) is released into the blood stream following CM injection and has been proposed as a potential mediator through its vasoconstricti…
