Isothermal miscibility maps for blends of styrene−acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymers with methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymers containing n -alkyl acrylates (xA) have been determined at 120 °C. The miscibility region increases and then decreases as the size of the n -alkyl pendant group increases. Binary interaction energ…

Thin films consisting of polyelectrolytes and positively charged TiO 2 nanoparticles were fabricated by the dip and the spin self-assembly (SA) methods. Employing the same deposition sequence in both methods, both SA films showed a similar thickness. We observed a comparatively layered structure in the spin SA film an…

Free-standing sterilized edible films based on milk proteins, namely calcium caseinate and whey protein isolate, and polysaccharides, namely pectin and agar, were developed. Cross-linking of the proteins was achieved by the combination of thermal and radiative treatments. Autoclaving pectin and agar prior to their add…

A comparative study of carbon gasification with O 2 and CO 2 was conducted by using density functional theory calculations. It was found that the activation energy and the number of active sites in carbon gasification reactions are significantly affected by both the capacity and manner of gas chemisorption. O 2 has a…

Abstract The synthesis and properties of organosoluble aromatic polyimides, containing spiro‐skeletal units in the polymer backbone on the basis of the spiro‐diamine monomer, 2,2′‐diamino‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene, are described. In the case of the spiro segment, the two fluorene rings are orthogonally arranged and connect…

Membranes were prepared from chitosan with different molecular weights by a casting method. The molecular affinity and permeability of the membranes for sodium chloride, glucose, tyrosine, and bovine serum protein were measured at 4 degrees C and pH 7. The molecular permeability of the chitosan membranes was inversely…

We present a calculation of a fourth-order, time-dependent density correlation function that measures higher-order spatiotemporal correlations of the density of a liquid. From molecular dynamics simulations of a glass-forming Lennard-Jones liquid, we find that the characteristic length scale of this function has a max…

This article describes for the first time the direct observation of the nucleation and growth process of CdS nanowires in a typical vapor−solid synthetic route. Thermal evaporating of CdS nanosized powders at 1173 K for various time durations corresponds to different growth stages and leads to varied product morpholog…

The amplified quenching of an anionic conjugated polymer, sulfonated poly(phenylene ethynylene) (PPE-SO 3 - ), by a cationic quencher comprising a boronic acid functionalized benzyl viologen ( p -BV 2+ ), has been used to optically detect sugars. In the absence of sugar, a strong polymer/quencher interaction leads to…

Measurements of magnetic hysteresis loops in Cu-Al-Mn alloys of different Mn content at low temperatures are presented. The loops are smooth and continuous above a certain temperature, but exhibit a magnetization discontinuity below that temperature. Scaling analysis suggest that this system displays a disorder induce…

We study the Mott insulating phase of the one-dimensional Hubbard model using a local-density approximation (LDA) that is based on the Bethe Ansatz (BA). Unlike conventional functionals, the BA-LDA has an explicit derivative discontinuity. We demonstrate that as a consequence of this discontinuity the BA-LDA yields th…
