This paper describes the synthesis of new magnetic, reactive polystyrene/polypyrrole core/shell latex particles. The core consists of a polystyrene microsphere containing gamma-Fe2O3 superparamagnetic nanoparticles (PSmag), and the shell is made of reactive N-carboxylic acid-functionalized polypyrrole (PPyCOOH). These…

We study the thermodynamics of a binary hard-disk mixture in which the ratio of disk diameters is kappa=1.4. We use a recently developed molecular dynamics algorithm to calculate the free-volume entropy of glassy configurations and obtain the configurational entropy (degeneracy) of the supercompressed liquid as a func…

Grafting of flax fiber with binary vinyl monomer mixtures such as methylmethacrylate (MMA)/ethyl acrylate (EA), MMA/acrylonitrile (AN), and MMA/acrylic acid (AA) was carried out. At a pressure of 8 Kg/cm2 under optimum reaction conditions 41.74% grafting resulted. Maximum grafting (109.9%) was found with MMA + EA bina…

In this paper, we study the effect of cotton wastes and different spinning parameters on the rotor yarn quality. Statistical models are established to predict a total quality index and the optimum spinning conditions by using maximum cotton waste rate. The results indicate that rotor parameters (diameter, form and spe…

The three-dimensional motion of single colloidal particles close to a plane wall is measured by optical microscopy. In accordance with classical theoretical predictions, we find an asymmetric motion of the particles in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the wall. We also find that, close to the wall, the dis…

Dynamic mechanical analysis, DMA, is an adequate technique for characterizing the mechanical features of biomaterials, as one can use test conditions that can more closely simulate the physiological environments in which they are going to be applied. In this work it was possible to perform different tests on chitosan…

An expression for the microwave power generated by a spin-torque oscillator in the presence of thermal noise is derived. This expression, when used in a subcritical regime, demonstrates that generated power is determined by the noise level and provides a simple way to experimentally determine the threshold current for…
