Abstract The molecular relaxation processes and structure of isotactic polystyrene (iPS) films were investigated with real‐time dielectric spectroscopy and simultaneous wide‐ and small‐angle X‐ray scattering. The purpose of this work was to explore the restrictions imposed on molecular mobility in the vicinity of the…

In this paper, very systematic experimental data on the orientation dependence of the twinning stress in Cu–8 at.% Al single crystals are reported. A method, typical for ‘latent hardening experiments’, is employed to determine the critical stresses needed to activate twin systems in a dislocated crystal. Results show…

Abstract Acrylate and methacrylate monomers were obtained by reacting vernonia oil, a naturally epoxidized oil, with acrylic or methacrylic acid. The highest conversion (85–98%) of epoxy groups was obtained when the reaction was performed with an excess of the carboxylic acid at 100–120°C. The acrylate and methacrylat…

We measured the optical properties of mixed-valent vanadium oxide nanotubes to investigate the charge degrees of freedom in these novel materials. The electronic structure strongly resembles that of other bulk, low-dimensional, and molecular vanadates. The 1.2-eV band is assigned as a superposition of V 4+ d → d and V…

Temperature dependence of zero-bias conductance of the vanadium (V)/multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT)/V structure is studied. As temperature is reduced, the conductance decreases with a functional form consistent with a power law. For the first time, we find that the exponent depends significantly on gate voltage. This…

Abstract A new fluorinated diamine monomer, 2′,5′‐bis(4‐amino‐2‐trifluoromethylphenoxy)‐ p ‐terphenyl, was synthesized from the chloro‐displacement of 2‐chloro‐5‐nitrobenzotrifluoride with the potassium phenolate of 2,5‐diphenylhydroquinone, followed by hydrazine palladium‐catalyzed reduction. A series of trifluoromet…

The crossed-lamellar microarchitecture (microstructure) of the shell of Strombus gigas, the giant Queen conch native to Caribbean habitats, is the most common of the several shell microarchitectures known in the mollusk family. We have studied tissue regeneration in juvenile S. gigas conchs and compared the microstruc…

81Br Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurement was performed in an S = 1/2 one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic metal complex [NiBr(chxn)2]Br2 (chxn: 1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane), having a halogen-bridged MX chain structure -Br-Ni3+-Br-Ni3+-Br-. Two 81Br NQR signals were observed below 40 K, while a single s…

Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) is a rare, recently described cutaneous fibrosing disorder that primarily affects patients with a history of renal disease [1]. Since the first report in 2000 by Cowper et al., about 100 cases of NFD have been described worldwide, and clusters have been observed in dialysis units…

Spider dragline silk is a semicrystalline protein polymer in which alanine-rich crystalline regions are connected by soft glycine-rich linkers that, in dry fibers are quiescent but become motionally active when plasticized by water. Using solid-state NMR to probe molecular motion and orientation of selectively 13 C-la…

A novel carbon−sulfur (C 2 S) analogue of polyacene has been synthesized and characterized. The polymer is composed of a nondegenerate trans − cisoid polyacetylene backbone in which all hydrogen atoms are replaced with sulfur atoms to form thiophene rings that are fused into a linear cross-conjugated ladder-type struc…
