Abstract The prospects for future applications of cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose esters (CE) were assessed via an analysis of literature data. An examination of more than 50,000 citations in the published literature with relevance to CA and CE has shown that, while the R&D effort continues without discernibl…

The effect of B 2 O 3 addition on the thermal stability of BaO–P 2 O 5 glasses is studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and micro‐Raman spectroscopy. The difference between glass‐transition and onset‐crystallization temperatures increases monoto…

We review current models and propose new approaches for the production of silicon thin films by low temperature plasma processes. Growth models have often been borrowed from those developed for hydrogenated amorphous silicon and are based on surface diffusion of SiH3. However, in situ growth studies have also pointed…

Abstract Summary: An ordered nanoporous monolith was prepared from a poly(isoprene‐ b ‐dimethylsiloxane) (PI‐PDMS) hexagonally packed cylinder precursor. The PDMS cylinders were macroscopically aligned, the PI was crosslinked with dicumyl peroxide, and the PDMS was removed using tetrabutylammonium fluoride. The stabil…

In this paper, the method for modeling laminated core by a solid one is investigated. The method for taking into account eddy current in each steel plate used for laminating, which has already been developed in linear analysis, is expanded to nonlinear analysis by using one-dimensional finite-element analysis and the…

The purpose of this paper is to specify the main components of the stray load loss of induction motors from both results of measurement and analysis. The IEEE standard 112 Method B is applied to the cage induction motor for the measurement of the stray load loss. On the other hand, the losses generated at the stator c…

The electron-density functional method (in the gradient approximation) and the pseudopotential method are used to study the mechanism of ionic conductivity in the cubic phase of zirconia stabilized with magnesium or yttrium. The oxygen-ion migration in the stabilized zirconia is shown to be a two-stage process, which…

New golden, yellow-colored cerium chemical conversion coatings on aluminum alloy 2024-T3 (AA2024-T3 [UNS A92024]) surface at room temperature were obtained by immersing the alloy into a cerium solution containing zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Electrochemical methods and immersion tests were used…

Abstract Summary: A poly(aspartic acid)‐ block ‐polylactide (PAsp‐ block ‐PLA) diblock copolymer was synthesized through the polymerization of β ‐benzyl‐ L ‐aspartate‐ N ‐carboxyanhydride [Asp(OBzl)‐NCA] with amino‐terminating polylactide (NH 2 ‐PLA) as a macroinitiator. The chain length of the PAsp segment could be e…

It is necessary to use a crosslinking agent to bond a flameretarding hydroxy-functional organophosphorus oligomer (FR) to cotton so that the flame resistance of the treated cotton fabric can be durable to multiple homelaundering. Both dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU) and melamine– formaldehyde (M-F) have been…

Polycrystalline n-ZnO/p-Cu2O heterojunctions were fabricated by reactive sputtering for photovoltaic applications. Although electrical rectification was not reproducibly obtained in the as-grown samples, rectification was observed in the samples fabricated with cyanide treated Cu2O. We have previously shown that cyani…

The sensing of chemicals and biochemical molecules using several porous silicon optical microsensors, based both on single-layer interferometers and resonant-cavity-enhanced microstructures, is reported. The operation of both families of sensors is based on the variation of the average refractive index of the porous s…

We theoretically study in detail the hydrodynamic coupling of two equal-sized colloidal spheres at low Reynolds numbers assuming the particles to be harmonically trapped with respect to both their positions and orientations. By taking into account the rotational motion, we obtain a rich spectrum of collective eigenmod…

Conversion of electronic excitation energy into vibrational energy was investigated for photochromic spiropyran molecules, using femtosecond UV-mid-IR pump-probe spectroscopy. We observe a weaker energy gap dependence than demanded by the "energy gap law". We demonstrate that large conformational changes accompanying…
