A new microporous sol-pillared clay was prepared by the ion-exchange of the interlayer Na + ions of montmorillonite with SiO 2 −Fe 2 O 3 mixed oxide sol particles. The mixed oxide sol solution was prepared by titrating an Fe 3+ aqueous solution with NaOH in the presence of silica sol particles. Upon pillaring with the…

Polymerization and segregation behavior of n -decyl acrylate in a smectic liquid crystal were characterized. The polymerization rate increased dramatically as the temperature was decreased and the order of the liquid crystalline media increased. To ascertain the kinetic mechanisms behind this behavior, the kinetic con…

Micro- and nanocrystalline systems exhibit properties that differ markedly from bulk systems. Diamond, a prototypical system, demonstrates a broadening, shift, and emergence of Raman phonon modes that are believed to originate from finite-size effects. Such information should be useful in constraining confinement mode…

Summary Cryptopodzolic Soils are characterized by a thick blackish‐brown mineral horizon rich in organic matter, the dark colour of which masks the morphological characteristics of podzolization. Little is known about the specific site factors that lead to the formation of these soils. Four representative soil profile…

Abstract Organic charge transfer complexes form a large variety of electronic structures from insulating state to metallic state in low-dimensional frameworks, which are governed by the competition between the transfer integral and the on-site Coulomb interaction. In the insulating regime, the generation of localized…

A new strategy has been employed to control the cross-linking of polyaniline that allows the synthesis of high molecular weight, conducting copolymers. The new method utilizes aniline−formaldehyde condensates (AFC) to establish the upper limit of possible cross-link sites in an AFC−polyaniline copolymer. By changing t…
