The properties of a polymer are strongly influenced by its morphology. In the case of fibers from semi-crystalline polymers this consists of the degree of crystallinity, the spacing and alignment of the crystalline regions, and molecular orientation of the polymer chains in the amorphous regions. Information on crysta…

A fibre-level model for the longitudinal absorption of liquid water in wood has been developed. The model is primarily intended for simulation of absorption in softwoods. Capillary suction is based on the lumen radius, which is a stochastic parameter. The average lumen volume (and thus radius) is assumed to vary linea…

Two ferroelectric three‐ring chiral esters, one with a partially fluorinated alkyl chain and another with a cyano terminal group, were mixed with a structurally similar compound having an alkyl terminal chain. In their mixtures an antiferroelectric phase was induced. The phase behaviour, spontaneous polarisation, tilt…

Porous glass beads with a core‐shell structure have been successfully prepared through subcritical water treatment. The product has high capacity and fast mass transfer property due to its structure, and may serve as an inorganic adsorbent. Accordingly, the kinetics, the equilibrium isotherm, and the column breakthrou…

The increase in depolarization temperature induced by the poling of (Li x Na 1- x )NbO 3 ceramics having an Li concentration of x = 0.08 (LNN8) was studied. Initially, the Curie temperature T C was measured to be approximately 300 °C, and it increased after the application of poling at high electric fields; this incre…

We report the amorphization induced high magneto-caloric effect (MCE) of recently developed Gd 55 Al 15 Ni 30 bulk metallic glass (BMG). The magnetic properties of the Gd 55 Al 15 Ni 30 BMG are investigated in comparison with that of its crystalline counterpart. It is found that amorphization can increase the saturati…

The resistance of austenitic stainless steel to intergranular corrosion (IGC) varies during the process of aging at temperatures between 500 and 700°C. This follows the well-known phenomena of precipitating of M 23 C 6 chromium carbides and intermetallic phases (η, σ, χ). Consequently, this leads to significant Cr-dep…
