Abstract 2,5‐Dibromo‐1,4‐(dihydroxymethyl)benzene was used as initiator in ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone in the presence of stannous octoate (Sn(Oct) 2 ) catalyst. The resulting poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) macromonomer, with a central 2,5‐dibromo‐1,4‐diphenylene group, was used in combination with 1,4‐d…

Abstract Factors influencing the degree of intercalation (‘reactivity’) of kaolinite group minerals have been investigated using six kaolin minerals, with variable crystallinity and particle size. Tests were performed to measure the degree of intercalation with potassium acetate, formamide, dimethylsulphoxide and hydr…

”QVD”detectors are based on thermoelectric heat-to-voltage (Q V) conversion and digital (V D) readout. We have devised and analyzed the performance of QVD detectors with several different sensor designs that enable use of high thermoelectric figure of merit samples, be they of thin film, bulk crystal, or whisker form.…

Elastic fibers are mostly used in elastic textiles. In this study, we develop a novel and original method to make highly elastic complex yarns using a self-designed, multi-section drawing frame and rotor twister. We examine the mechanical properties of these elastic complex yams. Their maximum breaking tenacity is hig…

Electromigration of Cu and diffusion of Co in Cu damascene bamboo-like grain structure lines capped with CoWP have been studied for sample temperatures between 350 and 425 °C. Void growth from the Cu line/W via interface was observed. Bulk-like activation energy for electromigration of 2.4±0.2 eV was obtained for thes…

Abstract The adsorption of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) on montmorillonites saturated with calcium (Ca-Mt) and sodium (Na-Mt) as a function of the pH value and PVA concentration in aqueous solution was studied. Owing to the binding effect of the bivalent cation, the adsorption of PVA on Ca-Mt decreases as the pH of the s…

Silicon charge-coupled devices (CCDs) covered with a scintillating film are now available on the market for use in digital medical imaging. However, these devices could still be improved in terms of sensitivity and especially spatial resolution by coating the CCD with an array of scintillating waveguides. In this pape…

We numerically study phase-separation dynamics of symmetric mixtures of an isotropic liquid and a liquid crystal, incorporating nematohydrodynamics, for the first time. We find that the hydrodynamics not only accelerates the domain growth, but also leads to the breakdown of the morphological symmetry of the two phases…

Abstract Silica‐supported polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers with different spacer lengths were prepared. After the introduction of diphenylphosphino groups, complexation to dibenzylidenepalladium(0) gave the desired silica‐supported dendrimer–palladium catalyst complexes G0 to G4‐C2‐Pd. These catalysts showed activity…

Strong green-light emission occurs in Eu:SrAl2O4 ceramics and Eu:SrAl2O4/poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) composites when excited by a lower dc or ac voltage. That emission is caused by strong electric-mechanic-optic interaction. The composite shows stronger luminescent emission intensity in c…
