We have studied the adsorption of poly(styrene- b -2-vinylpyridine) block copolymers from a selective solvent onto a flat solid substrate, resulting in the formation of laterally ordered microdomains. We address the question whether the lateral domain structure is due to adsorption of entire micelles from the solution…
The hydroxyl or vinyl end-groups of linear or three-arm star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) chains have been derivatized into triethoxysilane groups reactive in the sol-gel process. New transparent hybrid materials that combine tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and PCL known for biodegradability and biocompatibility h…
Electrochemical methods were used in a systematic investigation of the abilities of the homologous straight chain mono-and α,ω-dicarboxylates to inhibit corrosion of mild steel, copper, and aluminum in aerated, mildly saline, and near-neutral aqueous solutions. Performance of both compound types was shown to be critic…
Molecular diffusion in amorphous solid water is studied by measuring the extent of isotope exchange and mixing in vapor-deposited ultrathin films using temperature-programmed desorption. Our results indicate there is long-range translational diffusion that occurs concomitantly with the amorphous to crystalline ice pha…
Virtually all studies of the protein-folding reaction add either heat, acid, or a chemical denaturant to an aqueous protein solution in order to perturb the protein structure. When chemical denaturants are used, very high concentrations are usually necessary to observe any change in protein structure. In a solution wi…
This paper describes the processing dependence of the mechanical properties of three blends of starch/ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) with potential uses as biomaterials. These blends exhibit a distinct rheological behaviour and mechanical performance. Using shear controlled orientation in injection moulding (Scorim) it…
The temporal evolution of inhomogeneous spectra emitted by dye molecules in the course of their solvation within a supercooled liquid is analyzed, where the average emission energy ν( t ) probes the dielectric relaxation. The observed increase in the optical line width, σ inh ( t ), near the glass transition is compar…
The radiation field for an annular-type photocatalytic reactor has been modeled, and the resulting integro-differential equation has been solved resorting to the discrete ordinate method. The spatial domain was described in terms of two cylindrical coordinates and the field of direction with two angular variables. The…
A Kaolin-filled, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) system was used to illustrate the influence of particulates on modulus and toughness of the bulk material. A variation of filler content, particulate size and coupling quality for two HDPE-matrix systems with different viscosity led to a strong dependency of elastic mo…
The TiO 2 (110) surface, prepared with different densities of anion vacancy defect sites, has been investigated by studies of O 2 photodesorption at 105 K. Two separate O 2 photodesorption processes, α 1 and α 2, are detected and are postulated to be due to the presence of two different types of defect sites produced…
Over the past few decades, many new packaging techniques have been introduced in the quest for natural preservation of foods and on-time quality monitoring of packaged food to ensure good product quality and safety for the consumer. This paper discusses scientific, technological, commercial and legislative development…
γ-Irradiation was used to produce free-standing sterilized edible films based on milk protein, namely, sodium caseinate and calcium caseinate. The nature of the counterion and also the protein and glycerol concentrations were examined. Irradiation of a solution based on calcium caseinate produced more cross-links than…
As the physical size approaches several nanometers, reduction in the static dielectric constant ε becomes significant. A modified Penn model, taking into account the quantum confinement induced discrete energy states, was applied to a sphere and to a wire. The calculated size dependent ε is consistent with the wave-ve…
To analyze the inhibited densification during sintering and differential shrinkage during cooling of Al 2 O 3 /ZrO 2 symmetric and asymmetric laminates, viscoelastic formulations, in which the viscosity and elastic modulus vary with time, have been developed. The viscoelastic mismatch stresses have been numerically co…
Vanadium-containing silicate MCM-41 (V-MCM-41) zeolite and aluminophosphate AFI (VAPO-5) zeolite were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. In as-synthesized form, the vanadyl ions (V IV O) 2+ were found to be the major vanadium species in the form of atomic dispersion on AFI by EPR and to exist s…
The evaporation rate of sessile drops of water resting on poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer has been studied by using the recently published precise data of Rowan, Newton, and McHale. Mathematical expressions for an ellipsoidal cap drop resting on a solid surface having three parameters (base radius, height, and conta…
Abstract The micropore volumes of 2 montmorillonites (SAz-1 and SWy-1), each exchanged with Ca, Na, K, Cs and tetramethylammonium (TMA) ions, were calculated from the measured vapor adsorption data of N 2 and neo -hexane by use of t - and α s -plots. The corresponding surface areas of the exchanged clays were determin…
Final‐stage sintering has been investigated in ultrahigh‐purity Al 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 that has been doped individually with 1000 ppm of yttrium and 1000 ppm of lanthanum. In the undoped and doped materials, the dominant densification mechanism is consistent with grain‐boundary diffusion. Doping with yttrium and lantha…
The results of self-consistent field (SCF) nonlocal density functional molecular orbital calculations are presented for the various spin states and tautomeric forms of a cobalt complex with two o -quinone-derived ligands. In addition, new variable-temperature solution magnetic susceptibility, EPR, and electronic absor…
The long-term confusing glass transition temperature, T g, and specific heat capacity, Δ C p, of the 4,4‘-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BD) hard segment in segment polyurethanes have been clearly evidenced by using a new series of completely phase-mixed polyurethanes while being extrapolated to…
