The mesomorphism of hydrogen bonded complexes formed between 4'-carboxybenzo-15-crown-5 stilbazolyl ester (CBCSE) as proton acceptor and carboxylic acids as proton donors is discussed. CBCSE is a monotropic mesogen, forming a nematic phase upon quench cooling. A total of 32 hydrogen bonded complexes has been studied.…

Abstract An analysis of the crystallization kinetics of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) under nonisothermal conditions is presented. A simple method is proposed to remove the limits of the Ozawa theory. The Avramic exponent, n , can be reasonably well determined from the nonisothermal crystallization exotherm. An n val…

Effect of sizes and dimensions on the spin density wave (SDW) and charge density wave (CDW) in organic ferromagnets was studied. It was found that the stable ferromagnetic state obtained in a closed ring with periodic boundary conditions would become unstable in an open chain due to the effect of chain ends. There was…

Slow ramp-type transient-overpower tests were performed within the framework of the international CABRI-2 experimental program. The implemented power transients of ~1% nominal power/s correspond to a control rod withdrawal-type accident in a liquid-metal-cooled fast breeder reactor (FBR). The analysis of the tests inc…

The availability of xylan-type polysaccharides, representing an immense resource of biopolymers for practical application, is summarized. Xylans constitute 25–35% of the dry biomass of woody tissues of dicots and lignified tissues of monocots and occur up to 50% in some tissues of cereal grains. The most potential sou…

The relationship between pore size and air permeability in two spunlaced fabrics and two spunbonded/meltblown/spunbonded (SMS) fabrics were investigated. Minimum, maximum and mean flow pore sizes were determined using liquid porosimetry. The influence of fabric weight and thickness on air permeability and pore sizes w…

The numerical performance of a finite-difference modal method for the analysis of one-dimensional lamellar gratings in a classical mounting is studied. The method is simple and relies on first-order finite difference in the grating to solve the Maxwell differential equations. The finite-difference scheme incorporates…

Optical fibres that are permanently installed in nuclear reactors (fission or fusion) or at high energy physics accelerators can accumulate considerable long-lived radiation-induced loss. Four different fibre types were irradiated up to dose values from 10/sup 3/ to 10/sup 6/ Gy and an attempt was made to reduce the r…

Magnetic cation of Co 2+ was incorporated in a monovalent [Ni(dmit) 2 ] - (2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate) salt by using the supramolecular framework of 15-crown-5. The π-spins of [Ni(dmit) 2 ] - formed a one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnetic linear chain, while the d-spin of Co 2+ behaved as a free S = 3…
