The propagation of short mechanical pulses along rods of three polymers, polythene, polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate, has been investigated experimentally. The pulses were produced by the detonation of small quantities of explosive at one end of a rod and a condenser microphone was employed to record the displac…

The switching time ts and the switching current imax have been measured as a function of applied field E and of the size of the sample. It has been observed that the ``activation field'' α for the nucleation of new domains is inversely proportional to the thickness of the sample. This behavior can be explained by assu…

Descemet's membrane, previously thought to be "structureless," has been found to be characterized by a fine structure of great regularity. Sections perpendicular to the plane of the membrane surface appeared to be cross-striated, with narrow dark bands separated by wide light bands traversed by fine filaments. Tangent…

Activation cross sections for about thirty products of high-energy proton-induced disintegration of ${\mathrm{U}}^{238}$ and ${\mathrm{Th}}^{232}$ have been measured by the radiochemical method. These products range from polonium ($Z=84$) to neptunium ($Z=93$). The energy dependence of some of these cross sections has…

Abstract Results of earlier investigations of dynamic yield phenomena are reviewed. Experiments are described in which a mild steel specimen is subjected a to compressive impact load causing yield in 25 to 30μs. Stress-time curves are obtained and analyzed in terms of wave propagation, and a dynamic stress-strain rela…

Abstract Thin crystals of copper and platinum phthalocyanine have been studied in the transmission electron microscope. The (20T) planes of the crystal lattice have been resolved and the distance between them (12.0 + 0.2 A) is in close agreement with the X-ray value of 11.94 A. Imperfections in the lattice have been d…

Abstract In dealing with this problem, the cause of stress must be considered, and whether the stress remains constant, decreases, or increases as yield or creep occurs as a result of high stress. A qualitative analysis of the stress due to a maintained temperature differential in a flat bar is given for both free and…

Fluorine and iodine compounds, both organic and inorganic, were tested as flame retardants for cotton. Comparison with bromine and chlorine compounds showed that the effectiveness of the halogens, on an equal weight basis, increases in the order. fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, with the last two about equally eff…

Maßgebend hierfür ist der durch eine Flußsäurebehandlung auftretende Chiolith, 3AlF 3 · 5NaF, welcher beim Erhitzen zusammen mit dem Korund unter Bildung von β‐Al 2 O 3 reagiert. Die Untersuchungen sind außer an Pulvern auch an Ein…

Abstract Fibers containing both polyacrylonitrile and silk have been spun using an aqueous solution of ZnCl 2 (56% ZnCl 2 by weight) as solvent. The relative polymer proportions ranged from 100% polyacrylonitrile to 20% polyacrylonitrile. The conditions under which the fibers were spun are discussed, as are the result…

The rates of decomposition of N2O and of formation of NO were measured simultaneously in a static system. NO yields at the beginning of reaction are as high as 50 to 60%, but NO quickly inhibits its own further formation. From initial NO yields, information about the reaction of oxygen atoms with N2O and about wall re…
