1. We report the first measurements to be made on the effects of hydration on the mechanical properties of commercially-prepared duck down feathers. Tensile tests were performed, to failure, on isolated barbs of down feathers at 50% RH and with fully-hydrated (wet) feathers. 2. The Young's modulus (stiffness) and ulti…
Abstract This investigation describes the elastomer—filler interaction and its formation mechanism using solid state high-resolution, high-speed 1 H magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Pulsed NMR measurements were carried out on pure styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and solvent extracted…
We have designed and tested subwavelength diffractive optical elements consisting of surface-relief gratings made by microcontact printing of self-assembled monolayers. The first device is a beam deflector for 1.55-mum operation consisting of a surface-relief grating made up of eight pillars over one period (9.3 mum)…
A method of sample assembly for four-probe resistivity measurements on fragile organic single crystals using a diamond anvil cell is presented. A procedure to keep insulation between the metal gasket and four leads of thin gold wires bonded to the sample crystal by gold paint is described in detail. The resistivity me…
Methods have been developed to determine by Raman spectroscopy the epoxide conversion in a 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS)-cured epoxy resin as well as in blends of this resin with copolyethersulfone thermoplastic. The proposed spectral treatments consisted of a peak ratio method and of multivariate analysis. The Ra…
SUMMARY Time–temperature–transformation (TTT) diagrams have been determined for high-lime (10.2%) and moderate-lime (5.2%) bulk raw materials from the Peterborough Member of the Oxford Clay Formation of King’s Dyke [TL 525 297] and Orton [TL 517 293] brickworks. Study of the chemistry and mineralogy of the brickclays…
The kinetics of spherulitic crystallization in fiber reinforced thermoplastics was determined by means of the theoretical model based on the statistical approach and by and the computer simulation of spherulitic crystallization. The computer simulation of the spherulites nucleation and growth was performed to verify t…
Using computer-controlled pulsed laser deposition, high quality SrMoO3 thin films have been epitaxially grown on SrTiO3 (001) substrates. A growth interruption technique was employed for better epitaxy, and layer-by-layer growth was obtained by the intensity oscillations of reflection high-energy electron diffraction.…
Abstract The effect of aluminum powder on the properties of natural rubber composites containing high abrasion furnace black (HAF), general purpose furnace black (GPF), acetylene black, china clay and precipitated silica was studied. In all cases the total filler content including aluminum powder is fixed at 40 parts…
Vanadium oxide (VO x ) films intended for use in uncooled IR microbolometric matrices were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on silicon substrates. Optimum deposition conditions were determined, which provide for the obtaining of films possessing a current 1/ f noise level 3–10 times lower, extended dynamic r…
Abstract Different metallic substrates such as beryllium, aluminium, silicon and silver were rigorously tested in all aspects of energy‐dispersive electron probe x‐ray microanalysis of single particles, including the semi‐quantitative determination of low‐ Z elements. The effect of the collecting substrate on the capa…
The P-supplying power of the fine-textured soils from Abitibi-Temiscaming (Quebec, Canada) has never been investigated. Anion exchange membranes (AEM), the electro-ultrafiltration (EUF) technique and chemical extractions were used to describe their P status. Phosphorus was desorbed from four soils that had received 52…
Encapsulation of silica nanoparticles was performed by dispersion polymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate in aqueous alcoholic media. Following previous works1-3), the silica beads were first modified by reacting on their surface the 3-trimethoxysilyl propyl methacrylate coupling agent (MPS).…
Abstract Vascular corrosion casting has been used for about 40 years to produce replicas of normal and abnormal vasculature and microvasculature of various tissues and organs that could be viewed at the ultrastructural level. In combination with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the primary application of corrosion…
The action of pressure-radiation (or Bjerknes) forces on gas bubbles is well understood. This paper studies the analogous phenomenon for vapor bubbles, about which much less is known. A possible practical application is the removal of boiling bubbles from the neighborhood of a heated surface in the case of a downward…
Single-crystal MgO is a good candidate substrate for growing metal oxide films, even though it has a few drawbacks, such as surface degradation caused by its easy reaction with H 2 O and CO 2 and high concentration of impurities originating from the method by which it is grown. We propose a thermal annealing carried o…
The photophysical properties of a ring B benzoporphyrin derivative 1,3-diene dimethylester were investigated in solution (waterDMSO mixtures). At low proportions of water in DMSO, the diester obeys Beer's law at all pH values and ionic strengths investigated. For solvent systems containing more than 30% water, the ex…
We present a method for near-field analysis of ultrashort optical pulse propagation in periodic structures-including subwavelength and resonant grating structures-based on the integration of Fourier spectrum decomposition and rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). We discuss the spectral decomposition, including consi…
Temperature modulated DSC (TMDSC) in the frequency range from 10–3 Hz to 3.4 10–2 Hz and dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range from 10–2 Hz to 106 Hz is employed to analyze the temperature dependence of the relaxation rates of the α- and of the δ-relaxation of a liquid crystalline polymethacrylate having a de…
Several solvates of LiBH4 with amines have been prepared and characterized by X-ray structure determinations. LiBH4·3H2NPh (1) is monomeric with a triply bridging BH4 group. LiBH4·2en (3) is shown to be an ionic compound containing chains of cationic [Li(en)2)]+ units. In contrast, the BH4 group of LiBH4·triene (4) fo…
