A synthesis procedure for preparing palm oil fatty acid additives (POFA's) is described. The performance of these acids in carbon black (CB) filled natural rubber (NR) compounds was examined. The incorporation of POFA's is found to improve mechanical properties of CB filled NR compounds, especially below a concentrati…

A solid-state microactuator was studied using volume change due to redox reaction of poly(pyrrole) film. Pyrrole was electropolymerized on a comb-shaped microelectrode array, and the poly(pyrrole) film was covered by a solid polymer electrolyte, polyethylene glycol. The volume change of the poly(pyrrole) film by elect…

We have employed a phase modulation method using a photoelastic modulator to determine the uniformity and quality of the alignment layer of liquid crystals (LCs). It is demonstrated that a two-dimensional map of the phase retardation, associated with irregular rubbing and/or chemical contaminants, provides invaluable…

Stress concentration in ceramic‐matrix composites due to fiber‐matrix fusion is investigated using finite‐element modeling (FEM) in conjunction with experiment. FEM results indicate substantial stress concentration can be expected when the fiber and matrix are locally fused. The focus of the investigation is sealing t…

The crystal structure of a new cubic cristobalite-related sodium aluminosilicate Na 1.45 Al 1.45 Si 0.55 O 4 [ P 2 1 3, a = 14.553 (1) Å] has been modelled using a modulation wave approach and the model tested against X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method. Owing to there being 64 independent position…

A method for the calculation of the transmitted and reflected scalar fields at arbitrary dielectric surfaces is presented. The method is based on an evaluation of the Born series expansion and is of high accuracy as multiple reflections and refractions are taken into account. We show by comparison with Fresnel formula…

Ferroelectric liquid-crystal spatial light modulators (FLC SLM's) are binary modulating devices that can be used for flexible beam steering in the microsecond range. Because they are binary, at least 60% of the light power is lost to unwanted diffraction orders, however. We suggest the use of a second FLC SLM, synchro…

Abstract We applied the hard and soft acid-base (HSAB) model (Xu and Harsh 1990a, 1990b) to bivalent cation exchange on a purified Ca-montmorillonite. As a result, a satisfactory model is proposed to describe the gradual selectivity of exchange with Ca for 4 of the 6 metals studied (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn). The selectivity is…

A method to determine the surface azimuthal anchoring energy of a nematic liquid crystal is proposed. The technique implies the measurement of the director deviation on the cell substrate as a function of strength and direction of the applied magnetic field. As an example, the dependence of the azimuthal anchoring coe…
