Polypyrrole (PPy) films obtained by low-current galvanostatic polymerization of pyrrole in propylene carbonate solutions exhibit excellent reversibility, high anodic stability, and, at the same time, a characteristic change in the shape of the voltammetric response and an increase in the film's doping level during lon…
Abstract The preparation of new cellulose fiber reinforced thermoplastics is described, and the mechanical properties and water absorption of these materials are measured. In order to improve the compatibility between cellulosic and plastic materials, different amounts of coupling agents, such as organotitanate compou…
With the growth in the aged population and the need to extend average individual healthspan, biomaterials have an increasingly important role in the development of new generation medical devices, drug delivery systems, and medical diagnostic technologies. This column seeks to provide an insight into the latest develop…
The optical transmittance and reflectance of SbSI single crystals had been measured for photon energies from 1.5 to 2.6 eV in temperature range from 77 K to 343 K. The experimental data had been evaluated to determine anisotropic, spectral and temperature dependences of real part of refractive index and absorption coe…
In this article a novel methodology for the development of hardfacing materials, the so-called laser-assisted rapid-alloy-prototyping technique, based on variable powder feed rate laser cladding, is described. An Fe–Cr–C metallic matrix composite, reinforced with NbC carbide particles, was chosen as a case study for t…
Abstract Brill transition behaviour of nylons 6/16, 4/16 and 2/16 has been studied systematically by variable‐temperature wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and real‐time FTIR. It is shown that all nylons investigated undergo Brill transitions before melting on heating. Brill temperatures detected by real‐time FTIR a…
A 7.8 kb fragment containing isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) gene and its flanking regions was cloned from Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and sequenced. Unlike the case of the K-12 strain, the e14 element was not found. The nucleotide divergence between these two strains was about 2%. Using the cloned fragment, ICDH defec…
Abstract Purified natural rubber (PNR) was obtained by treatment of high ammonia NR latex with proteinase enzyme for 24 h, followed by double centrifugation. The PNR was later redispersed into latex form with 0.5% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate. The degradation of PNR was performed in latex form by using a combination o…
We have investigated the magnetic and elastic properties of rare-earth monopnictide TbSb by means of specific heat, high-field magnetization, and ultrasonic measurements. A pronounced anomaly was observed in the specific heat and elastic constants at an antiferromagnetic transition of ${T}_{N}=15.5\mathrm{K}.$ A prono…
Abstract Thermal degradation and kinetics of polyethersulfone (PES) chips were studied in air, nitrogen, helium, and argon from room temperature to 790°C by high‐resolution thermogravimetry (TG) at a variable heating rate in response to changes in the sample's degradation rate. In the four atmospheres, a two‐step degr…
Abstract In this article, a study of the aging of conducting Polyaniline–Polystyrene blends using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV‐visible‐near IR analysis is presented. The physicochemical results are compared to those obtained by electrical measurements. XPS results confirm the existence of an oxidation…
Abstract Self‐crosslinking acrylate latices containing fluorine were prepared by the batch method, with N ‐hydroxymethyl acrylamide (NMA) as a crosslinking agent. The structure and component of latex polymers were studied by FTIR, ion‐selective electrode analysis, and DSC. The stabilities of latices, such as storage s…
Abstract The dynamic crystallization and subsequent melting behaviour of poly(aryl ether ether ketone), PEEK, and its blends with a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer, Vectra ® , have been studied using differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy and wide‐angle and small‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXS an…
Abstract Poly(ether urethane)s (PEUs) are widely used as blood‐contact biomaterials because of their good biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Nevertheless, their blood compatibility is still not adequate for more demanding applications. Surface modification is an effective way to improve blood compatibility an…
A spin-coating process was developed for the preparation of self-supporting ultrathin films of titania. First, an ultrathin layer of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was formed by spin coating on the surface of an ethanol-soluble polymer that had been preformed on the surface of a Si wafer as a polymer underlayer. Titanium t…
Abstract The objective of the study was to explore the effect of the degree of deacetylation (DD) of the chitosan used on the degradation rate and rate constant during ultrasonic degradation. Chitin was extracted from red shrimp process waste. Four different DD chitosans were prepared from chitin by alkali deacetylati…
Infrared spectroscopy is used to study the doping and temperature dependence of the intragap absorption in the ferromagnetic semiconductor ${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{x}\mathrm{As},$ from a paramagnetic, $x=0.017$ sample to a heavily doped, $x=0.079$ sample. Transmission and reflectance measurement…
Abstract Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and starch are both biodegradable and renewable polymers derived from agricultural feedstock. A previous study showed that a small amount (0.5%) of methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) could enhance the mechanical properties of starch and PLA blends by improving the interfacial interac…
Metal-catalyzed coupling methodologies have been employed in the synthesis of the key building block 3'-formyl-2,2':5',2"-terthiophene. Wittig olefinations with this aldehyde have produced five novel beta-styryl-substituted terthiophene monomers. These materials have been fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy, micro…
Abstract Blend films of poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) with chitin and chitosan were prepared as completely biodegradable polyester/polysaccharide composites. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that the crystallization of PCL, which had been suppressed by blending…
