Abstract The constant rate stretching of amorphous poly(ethylene terephthalate) films is the first step of the industrial “inverse” process. To study this process, films deformed under uniaxial planar symmetry conditions have been produced on a laboratory stretching machine in order to discuss the influence of macrosc…

Abstract A new family of cone‐shaped podands and barrel‐shaped cryptands based on calix[4]arenes incorporating 5,5′‐substituted 2,2′‐bipyridine subunits were prepared and characterized. The Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ complexes of the podands bearing two, three, or four bipyridine chromophores could be isolated. High molar absorp…

The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and Raman spectra of fluorine-doped silicon oxide films capped by silicon nitride thin film to prevent water absorption from the air were measured as a function of the fluorine concentration in the films. It was found that fluorine doping diminishes the Si–OH bonds in film…

A simple method for preparing thin dichroic metal composite films is described. Alkanethiol-derivatized gold particles are incorporated into poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) matrixes that have been friction-transferred onto glass slides. Exposure of these gold particle/PTFE composites to flame (ca. 1700 °C) leads to s…

A series of linear copolymers of DTPA-class Gd3+ conjugates, linked by alpha, omega-alkyldiamides with a varying number (n) of methylenes separating the amide function, were synthesized. Surprisingly, their relaxivities at all fields increased with increasing n. At MRI fields and 35 degrees C, the relaxivities of the…

The allowable range of marginal variation of the cell gap to ensure uniform optical properties when using in-plane switching (IPS) of liquid crystals was evaluated quantitatively. The analysis yielded relationships of transmittance into the cell gap in bright, selected bright and selected intermediate states. The sele…

The biodegration behavior of polycaprolactone–poly(ethylene glycol) block copolymer (PCL–b–PEG) was identified by degradation tests in vitro and in vivo. The tests in vitro and in vivo were carried out by immersing samples in pH 5.0, 7.2 and 9.0 buffer solutions with or without lipase at 25.0, 37.0 and 50.0±°C, and im…

The collapse and recrystallization of zinc-exchanged sodium zeolite-A has been observed in situ using combined X-ray spectroscopy and diffraction. The temperature at which this occurs is reduced by the presence of zinc, but the precipitation of NaAlSiO 4 (nepheline) is blocked by the nucleation of ZnAl 2 O 4 (gahnite)…
