Hydrothermal recycling is conversion of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) at high temperatures in a steam atmosphere into hydrogen chloride, a mixture of hydrocarbons and syngas. Hydrochloric acid can be recovered and the mixture of hydrocarbons and syngas can be used for energy recovery. A bench-scale bubbling fluidized bed…

The generation of high pretilt angles in nematic liquid crystal (LC), 4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB), on the rubbed surface of polyimide (PI) containing trifluoromethyl moieties, was investigated. High pretilt angles of 5CB are strongly related to the low surface energy caused more by the existence of trifluoromethy…

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the transition temperature ranges (TTR) of four types of super-elastic orthodontic nickel-titanium coil springs (Sentalloy). A knowledge of the TTR provides information on the temperature at which a NiTi wire or spring can assume superelastic properties and…

The film rupture behaviour of dynamically strained metastable Ti-15wt% Mo-3wt% Nb-3wt% Al in the solution-treated and aged (STA) (β + α) condition that is prone to coplanar slip was examined. Film rupture was detected by rapid data acquisition (10 000 Hz, 40 nA resolution) of repassivation current transients on fatigu…

Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) procedures and heat input during welding of 17–4PH stainless steel, using matching chemistry consumables, have been optimised in relation to its microstructural condition before welding based on room temperature tensile properties. The 17–4PH stainless steel was welded in two different…

A series of P=S-containing dendrimers (starburst macromolecules) were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). This technique is a unique tool for the identification of specific groups from these starbursts such as P=S, aromatic rings, C–O, and C=O. Surface elemental and chemical composition is found t…

The influence of a polymer network, stabilizing an initial texture of horizontal chevron geometry, on the in-plane smectic C* layer reorientation process is studied for different applied electric field conditions. As expected, the reorientation of smectic layers is strongly slowed down and eventually suppressed by the…

In order to study the mechanism of DC offset voltage generation in a hybrid-aligned nematic liquid crystal display (HAN-LCD), we theoretically and experimentally studied the electrooptic characteristics of a HAN sample. The results showed that decreasing the thickness of a LC alignment film strongly reduces the genera…

Abstract We demonstrate control over the orientation of the 4,4′‐bis(2,3‐epoxypropoxy)‐α‐methylstilbene (EPAMS)/sulfanilamide (SAA) epoxy system. A statistical experimental design was generated and analyzed to determine the effects of the time in the magnetic field, field strength, and the amount of B‐staging. A regre…

Chiral-nematic glassy liquid crystals (GLCs) are of interest because of their unique supramolecular structure and associated optical properties. However, the constant-pitch films produced so far have a bandwidth limited to less than 100 nm in the visible. The introduction of a pitch gradient, indicated by theory to in…
