The in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradation of cross-linked (co)polyethers with and without tertiary hydrogen atoms in the main chain and differing in hydrophilicity were studied by means of subcutaneous implantation in rats. After 4 days, 1 month, and 3 months postimplantation, the tissue reactions and interactio…
This proof-of-concept research describes a novel membrane-based, integrated absorber−reactor operat ing at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. It degrades volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a gaseous stream by ozonation in an inert stagnant fluorocarbon (FC) phase having a high ozone solubility. This FC ph…
We report transport measurements with field and current parallel to the a axis (perpendicular to the conducting plane) in the organic superconductor \ensuremath{\kappa}--(BEDT-TTF${)}_{2}$Cu(NCS${)}_{2}$. The magnetoresistance displays a peak effect as a function of field and temperature with the peak fields increasin…
The p - n junction p-CuI/nano-porous n- made by coating CuI on a nano-porous film of n- does not show a photocurrent action spectrum corresponding to the bandgap excitation of . However, if the surface is lightly coated with the dye cyanidin the peak corresponding to bandgap excitation of is clearly manifested in addi…
Abstract Phosphate rock (PR), coal combustion by‐product (CCBP), limestone, and organic materials are promising amendments for low P, acid soils, and two or more of the amendments are commonly applied to improve crop yields in acid soil. However, the interactions between these amendments in acid soil are not fully und…
Per-N-tosylated 3,8-diaza-1,10-decanediamine (9), 4,9-diaza-1,12-dodecanediamine (spermine) (10) and 3,6,9,14,17,20-hexaaza-1,22-docosanediamine (11) were prepared by treating mono-BOC-protected, per-N-tosylated 1,2-ethanediamine (5), 1,3-propanediamine (6) and triethylenetetraamine (7), respectively, with 1,4-dibromo…
We report a theoretical study of various structures of chiral nematic liquid crystals, confined to submicrometer cylindrical cavities with tangential anchoring conditions. The Frank-Oseen free energy with additional surface energy terms is used to find nematic director fields, free energies, and stability diagrams of…
Abstract A series of smectic C * liquid‐crystalline (LC) block copolymers were successfully synthesized via the living anionic polymerization of polystyrene with optically active methacrylate monomers containing ( S )‐2‐methylbutyl 4‐(4‐hydroxyphenylcarbonyloxy)‐biphenyl‐4′‐carboxylate mesogens. These materials are th…
The effect of non-tetrahedral cations on the silicon–oxygen vibrational modes in complex silicates was modelled in a small-cluster approximation by introducing a shell containing first- and second-order neighbours of the peripheral oxygen atoms of the Si—O cluster. As an example, the proposed method was applied to stu…
To unravel the effects of the volume-excluding central core and the mesogenic pendant group on both the glass-forming ability and morphological stability of the thermally quenched glass, nine model compounds were synthesized that contain various nematogenic and cholesteryl pendant groups. The glass-forming ability of…
Abstract It is known that chromium influences the growth of an alumina oxide layer on β‐NiAl at high temperatures. It has been claimed that oxidized chromium will act as nuclei for the θ → α‐alumina phase transformation. This study presents RBS‐data on the presence of chromium in the oxide scale which tends to substan…
Abstract An azobenzene-functionalized meterial was used to perform comparative investigation of molecular arrangements in self-assembled monolayer film and in crystalline state. By the means of atomic force microscopy and absorption spectroscopy, a unique herringbone structure was revealed in the densely packed self-a…
In this paper we present findings from molecular dynamics simulations that investigated the changes induced in molecularly thin n-octane films, as a result of increasing solid-methylene unit energetic affinity. The solid surfaces were deprived of any topographical features and were modeled as atomically smooth 10-4 Le…
Abstract Polyethylene blends (LLDPE:HDPE ≈ 2:1 by wt) used in NASA's balloon film applications can be effectively reinforced by addition of a small amount of liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). Cast and blown PE films containing ≈ 10% LCP show an appreciable enhancement in tensile modulus ≈400% over that of the neat PE…
Ceramics of the two compositions of KTa1−xNbxO3 (KTN) with x = 0.3 and 0.4 have been densified thanks to the addition of LiF. Densities been determined as a function of sintering temperature, time and amount of LiF. Dielectric investigations have shown that the composition corresponding to x = 0.4 is more densified th…
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemical potentiodynamic experiments have been used to study the pretreatment of 2024–T3 aluminium alloy before conversion coating. The pretreatment process included vapour degreasing, alkaline cleaning and Cr based acidic deoxidising ste…
The three-dimensional structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisie fatty acid synthase was computed from electron microscopy of stain images. The barrel-shaped structure (point group symmetry 32) has major and minor axes of approximately 245 x 220 A, respectively, and consists of two different subunits organized in an alp…
Designs are given for gallium-arsenide subwavelength grating retarders operating at 10.6 μm. A design procedure is detailed that takes into account the reflections at all surfaces and that uses numerical optimization to improve the transmittance of the retarders to nearly 100%. It is shown that the homogeneous uniaxia…
A second virial theory is presented to study the influence of a slight flexibility on the nematic-smectic A transition in fluids of freely rotating hard rods. The spinodal is located by performing a bifurcation analysis of the equation describing the single-particle distribution function. A closed expression for the s…
A photolithographic process has been used to form cross-shaped patterns in 3-μm-thick nickel foils. Patterns with cross arm dimensions in the 10-20-μm range, and with periodicities in the 16-26-μm range, yield self-resonant bandpass filters for wavelengths in the 20-25-μm region. Transmittances as high as 80% were ach…
