Abstract 3,3′‐Dinitrobenzidine was first reacted with excess m ‐chlorophenyl acid to form a monomer with dicarboxylic acid end groups. Two types of aromatic dianhydrides (Pyromellitic diconhydride (PMDA) and 3,3′,4,4′‐sulfonyl diphthalic anhydride) were also reacted with excess 4,4′‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate to for…

When producing (pressing) flax/PP composite panels, several processing parameters have to be considered. This paper describes how these parameters affect some properties of the resulting panel. The multidirectional flax/PP composite panels were made from needle-punched hybrid nonwovens. First the most appropriate proc…

Abstract The varying degree of preferential orientation observed in films of poly(alkylthiophene)s obtained by solution casting from different solvents has been studied quantitatively with X‐ray diffraction. The (uniaxial) orientational distribution function is obtained after some important instrumental corrections th…

The maximum of the color-conferring charge-transfer (CT) band in Prussian Blue (PB) varies with the electrochemically introduced cation M(z+) incorporated (as "supernumerary") for charge neutrality, and the dependence on particular properties of the M(z+) has been sought. With alkali-metal ions, the CT-maximum shifts…

We report results obtained from Monte Carlo simulations investigating mesophase formation in two model systems of hard pear-shaped particles. The first model considered is a hard variant of the truncated Stone-expansion model previously shown to form nematic and smectic mesophases when embedded within a 12-6 Gay-Berne…

The syntheses of two distinctive types of indium complex derived from trimethylindium (InMe(3)) are reported. The first kind has a generalized structural formula [InMe(2)(amak)](2), where (amak)H is an abbreviation for a series of chelating amino alcohol ligands HOC(CF(3))(2)CH(2)NHR, R = (CH(2))(2)OMe (1), Me (2), an…

We performed molecular dynamics simulations of water confined to hydrophobic slit nanopores. Two five-site potential models of water were employed: the ST2 model and the TIP5P model. The simulations confirm our previous simulation results on basis of the four-site TIP4P model of water, that is, upon cooling the confin…

Depolymerization of an engineering plastic, poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO), was accomplished by using 2,6-dimethylphenol (DMP) under oxidative conditions. The addition of an excess amount of DMP to a solution of PPO in the presence of a CuCl/pyridine catalyst yielded oligomeric products. When PPO (M(n)=1…

Wide-angle X-ray scattering patterns from proteins in solution contain information relevant to the determination of protein fold. At relevant scattering angles, however, these data are weak, and the degree to which they might be used to categorize the fold of a protein is unknown. Preliminary work has been performed a…
