Perhaps one of the most surprising results in the past 10 years was the prediction of Brand et al. [1] that fluid biaxial smectics made from comopunds without asymmetric carbons could, by symmetry, have a spontaneous polarization, P, in the layer plane. They called this construct, which can be either ferroelectric or…

Ongoing studies of the CsHSO(4)-CsH(2)PO(4) system, aimed at developing novel proton conducting solids, resulted in the new compound Cs(2)(HSO(4))(H(2)PO(4)) (dicesium hydrogensulfate dihydrogenphosphate). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (performed at room temperature) revealed Cs(2)(HSO(4))(H(2)PO(4)) to crystallize…

Abstract The mechanical behavior of polycarbonate (PC) coextruded as microlayers with a brittle polymer, either poly(styrene‐ co ‐acrylonitrile) (SAN) or poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), was examined. Adhesion between layers was measured with the T‐peel method. The much higher interfacial toughness of PC/PMMA microla…

The nonlinear dynamics of a spherical bubble cloud with nuclei size distribution are studied numerically. The spectrum of nuclei is assumed uniform initially. The simulations employ a nonlinear continuum bubbly mixture model with consideration of the presence of bubbles of different sizes. This model is then coupled w…

The interaction and adhesion between the fiber and matrix has a significant effect in determining the mechanical and physical behavior of fiber composites. The effect of the interface and interphase depends on several factors such as chemical composition (functional groups), molecular structure characteristics (branch…

Abstract The IR spectra of -saturated smectites were examined in terms of their charge characteristics. The υ 4 band near 1440 cm -1 , observed in the DRIFTS spectra (obtained without use of a KBr matrix), was assigned to the vibrations of ions compensating the negative charge of the clays. When KBr was used as a dilu…
