The alkali metal/group 4 metal/polychalcogenides Cs(4)Ti(3)Se(13), Rb(4)Ti(3)S(14), Cs(4)Ti(3)S(14), Rb(4)Hf(3)S(14), Rb(4)Zr(3)Se(14), Cs(4)Zr(3)Se(14), and Cs(4)Hf(3)Se(14) have been synthesized by means of the reactive flux method at 823 or 873 K. Cs(4)Ti(3)Se(13) crystallizes in a new structure type in space group…
The nanostructure deformation mechanism of a predrawn and annealed blend of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polyethylene (PE) (PET/PE: 50/50 by wt %) was studied. For the first time six-point small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) patterns were observed as a function of elongation in the investigation of a drawn p…
A strategy was developed to create a modulable polymer surface architecture (topography, chemical composition) at the nanometer scale. Therefore, collagen was first adsorbed on a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate and dried at high or low rate to produce continuous or discontinuous layers, respectively. Soluti…
Chromium-promoted ceria catalyst materials have been prepared by three routes: impregnation of ceria gel using an aqueous solution of CrO 3 (Cr(VI)/CeO 2 -imp), impregnation of ceria gel using an aqueous solution of chromium(III) nitrate (Cr(III)/CeO 2 -imp), and coprecipitation from an aqueous solution containing bot…
Abstract Polymer blend technology has been one of the most investigated areas in polymer science in the past 3 decades. The one area of polymer blends that has been virtually ignored involves simple emulsion blends, although several articles have recently appeared that address film formation and mechanical characteris…
Novel fluorinated main-chain liquid crystalline/crystalline polymers were prepared through thin film polymerization. Two polymer systems were studied: one from 2,6-acetoxynaphthoic acid (ANA), acetoxyacetanilide (AAA), and 4,4‘-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoic acid) (6F acid) and the other from ANA, hydroquinone…
Treatment of vessel surfaces is common practice in many protein crystallization protocols. The research reported here shows that such treatments can have a significant effect on the resulting kinetics of protein crystallization. Untreated and silanized low-protein-binding polystyrene wells were used in batch isotherma…
[reaction: see text] All of the crystalline o-anisaldehyde derivatives 1 and 3 change to brick-red color upon brief exposure to UV-vis radiation. The red color, attributed to (E)-xylylenol, is remarkably persistent for hours (ca. 10 h) in the case of 1c; such a long lifetime for the reactive o-xylylenols is unpreceden…
Results presented give evidence of the existence of quasicritical, fluidlike behavior in the isotropic phase of 4-cyano-4-pentyl-biphenyl (5CB) for frequencies ranging from the static to the ionic-dominated [low-frequency (LF)] region. Despite the boost of dielectric permittivity on lowering the frequency below 1 kHz,…
An $s\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{p}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{z}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{d}$ laser beam that impinges at small incidence angle on a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal produces very interesting nonlinear phenomena. In this paper, we show that, due to the symmetry of the sys…
We investigate the effect of phase inversion on the domain morphology and rheological properties of phase-separated polybutadiene/polyisoprene blends using optical microscopy, light scattering, and rheometry. Two different blends, low-vinyl polybutadiene/low-vinyl polyisoprene (LPB/LPI) and low-vinyl polybutadiene/hig…
The level of conjugation of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) to the polysaccharide sodium hyaluronan (HA) has been measured by a colorimetric assay, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The colorimetric assay is based on the red shift, upon complexation with gadolinium ion (Gd3+)…
The isothermal crystallization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), single-C 60 -end-capped PEO (FPEO), and double-C 60 -end-capped PEO (FPEOF) has been evaluated using polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Comparison studies were also made on a physical mixture of PEO and C 60 with…
Theoretical and experimental studies in the literature on the coupling between functionalized polymer chains at immiscible polymer−polymer interfaces have always involved second-order kinetics. In addition, the time dependence of the degree of copolymer formation has been predicted to vary depending on the reaction st…
Abstract Several kinds of organic–inorganic hybrids were synthesized from an epoxy resin and a silane alkoxide with a primary amine‐type curing agent or tertiary amine curing catalyst. In the hybrid systems cured with the primary amine‐type curing agent, the storage modulus in the high‐temperature region increased, an…
High-order harmonic generation by metallic carbon nanotubes exposed to an intense ultrashort pulse has been theoretically investigated in the semiclassical approximation. The mechanism of nonlinearity provided by the motion of \ensuremath{\pi} electrons has been considered. It has been shown that the high density of c…
The synthesis, electrochemical properties, and molecular structure of a new pi-electron donor, 2,5-bis(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene (BDA-TTP), is described. In contrast to the hitherto-known tetrachalcogenafulvalene pi-donors providing organic superconductors, this donor contains only the bis-fuse…
1,3,5-Trinitro-2,4,6-tris(styryl)benzene derivatives 1−3 were synthesized and their optical properties, first hyperpolarizabilities (β), powder SHG efficiencies, and Td, were determined. They exhibited significant β [β(0) = (24−89) × 10-30 esu] and powder SHG values [M/MmNA = 0.2−5.8] as well as high thermal stabiliti…
The oxidized disulfide form of the ubiquitous tripeptide glutathione (gamma-glu-cys-gly) (GSSG) is shown to produce transparent, thermoreversible gels in aqueous solutions of dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, and methanol, at GSSG concentrations as low as 1.5 mM. The gels bind Congo Red and exhibit dramatic green…
Single-molecule spectroscopy was used to follow the orientation of a single probe molecule in a polymer film in real time. Broad spatially heterogeneous dynamics were observed on long time scales, which result from simple diffusive rotational motions on short time scales. This diffusive behavior persists for many rota…
