Abstract When polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is stretched, it exhibits strain‐hardening properties, which are temperature and strain‐rate dependent. In this paper, two grades of PET are experimentally characterized using biaxial tests. A visco‐hyperelastic model is used to describe the stretching behavior for the po…

A new application of the recently described drop coating deposition Raman (DCDR) method facilitates the segregation and independent spectral characterization of mixture components. The quality of the normal (un-enhanced) Raman spectra are significantly improved as a result of reduced spectral interference from fluores…

The photoinduced alignment of ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) onto photochemically stable azo-dye films was studied. The alignment quality of FLC display cells depends mainly on the difference between the FLC surface energy and the aligning substrates surface energy; however, the structure and thickness of FLC la…

The corrosion of bare steel under an aqueous boundary layer with dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) was modeled to investigate the effect of CO2. The model incorporated the coupled effect of CO2 diffusion, hydration, local ionic equilibria, ferrous carbonate (FeCO3) precipitation, and steel corrosion. The model was verifi…

Abstract A GaP(001) surface treated by (NH 2 ) 2 CS/H + solution has been studied by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and XPS. The AES result indicates that the GaP(001) surface can be sulfurized by (NH 2 ) 2 CS/H + solution. Oxygen and nitrogen could be almost removed upon annealing at 550°C. The sulfur on the surfa…

The ferroelectric sodium-bismuth titanate Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) is now considered as one of the lead-free materials which could be used instead of the lead-bearing materials from the view point of environment impact. Several previous studies were focused on the preparation and properties of NBT as single crystals and c…

Abstract The present work is the first comprehensive account of the knowledge acquired from single crystals of the isotopic series M 2 Te 4 O 11 (M = La - Nd, Sm - Yb). In the crystal structure, the M 3+ cation is coordinated by eight oxygen atoms in the shape of a distorted square antiprism. Out of these polyhedra a…

We study the extended Hubbard model with both on-site $(U)$ and nearest neighbor $(V)$ Coulomb repulsion using the exact diagonalization method within the dynamical mean field theory. For a fixed $U$ $(U=2.0)$, the $T\text{\ensuremath{-}}n$ phase diagrams are obtained for $V=1.4$ and $V=1.2$, at which the ground state…

The use of conductive polymers as a substitute for metallic conductors and semiconductors has attracted much attention in the literature. In particular, aromatic heterocyclic polymers constitute an important class because they possess chemical and electrical stability. The properties of these polymers are promising fo…

Abstract PTFE surfaces have been exposed to neutral atoms and molecules, and to electrons originating from a modified RF nitrogen plasma, able to filter out the cations. The changes in surface energy of the modified polymer, determined by the water contact angle, are linearly related to the increase of the nitrogen co…

Abstract Several 2- and 3-(phenylazo)pyridine derivatives were prepared. Most of their trans isomers have a large absorption band (∼2 × 104 M−1 cm−1 (1 M = 1 mol dm−3)) around 320 nm and a small absorption band (∼400 M−1 cm−1) around 450 nm. All of these compounds photoisomerize upon irradiation of the shorter (trans-…

The oxidation behavior of SiCN–ZrO 2 fibers and SiCN at 1350°C are compared. The as‐measured parabolic rate constants for the two materials are nearly the same (15–20 × 10 −18 m 2 /s). However, after implementing a correction for the difference in the compositions, the rate constant is 13.2 × 10 −18 m 2 /s for the fib…
