In this short article, we draw attention to the pioneering studies of Daniel Vorlander, who lived from 1867 to 1941 and worked in Halle, Germany between 1890 and 1935. The number and range of compounds synthesized under his guidance are truly vast, but much of his work is hidden away in Doctoral theses. All of these d…

Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) are materials composed of liquid crystal microdroplets dispersed in a polymer matrix. Their electro-optic properties make them useful for applications as large-area electrically switchable architectural windows (smart windows). For these applications, the key parameters of per…

The metallocene-catalyzed syndiospecific synthesis of the new homopolymer of p - n -butylstyrene and its random copolymers with styrene is reported. The crystalline morphology of the resulting polymers is studied by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM), wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), differential scanning calor…

An overall strategy for phase equilibrium calculations within chemically reacting multicomponent nonideal systems is presented. The strategy involves three stages and employs an indirect method to determine the phase configuration of the reacting system at equilibrium. The latter is based on an existing technique for…

The temperature evolution of the optical absorption spectra of A2BX4 type compounds with an organic cation have been analyzed. It was shown that the fundamental absorption edge in these materials possesses an exponential shape following the empirical Urbach rule due to the occurrence of the electron–(exciton–)phonon i…

Atactic polystyrene of M = 330,000 Da and Mw/Mn = 1.04 was subjected to chloromethylation. By the heating of chloromethylpolystyrene with SnCl4 in a very dilute solution in ethylene dichloride, the polymeric coils were converted into intramolecularly hypercrosslinked macromolecules, nanosponges, of molecular weight of…

The stress-strain behaviour of two Ni-Ti and two Copper Ni-Ti orthodontic wires was examined in induced torsion under controlled conditions of moment and temperature. The tests clearly demonstrate the diversity of behaviour of these wires. The loading and unloading curves and plateau regions were found to be closely r…

We have used resonance-Raman scattering to study the effects of hydrostatic pressure (to 80 kbar) on polyiodide chain vibrations in iodine-doped poly(vinyl alcohol) films. Two strong fundamental bands are observed along with overtone and combination bands. The low-energy band at 107 cm -1 is attributed to symmetric st…

We present a study of the effect of oscillatory shear on the crystallization of supercooled water in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of simple water models. [The TIP4P model has been used throughout; calculations using the extended simple point charge (SPC/E) model were checked for consistency and gave q…

Abstract The thermal decomposition behavior of hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTlcs) prepared by reconstruction of calcined HTlcs is described. From the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), it seems that dicarboxylate intercalates of HTlc calcined at 500 °C are completely reconstructed to Mg-Al-CO 3 HTlc by exposure to a…

Abstract. Aluminium is used extensively in the transportation, architecture, electronic and packaging industries. Aluminium presents particular characteristics such as low density, high ductility and a highly protective natural oxide film. However, formability, corrosion resistance, weldability, adhesion and surface a…

Molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical calculations are used to study the static structure and dynamic properties of the liquid alkaline earths near their melting points. Where possible, comparison with experiments lends support to the reliability of the potentials used. On the other hand, comparison between t…

In the course of refining atomic protein structures, one often encounters difficulty with molecules that are unusually flexible or otherwise disordered. We approach the problem by combining two relatively recent developments: simultaneous refinement of multiple protein conformations and highly constrained refinement.…
