We etched thermally poled fused-silica coverslips in 49% HF for 30 s transverse to the poling direction to reveal structural details of the nonlinear region. A peaked ridge below the anode surface, corresponding to a slower etch rate than that of the bulk SiO(2) , was located approximately 5 microm below the anode sur…

Activated carbon fibers (ACF) are microporous carbon consisting of a three-dimensional network of micrographites having the size of ∼3 nm. We investigate structural and electronic properties of ACFs in relation to the adsorption of helium, nitrogen, and oxygen gases, by means of adsorption isotherm, ESR (electron spin…

An extended-core liquid crystal (LC) based on the 3,3′-di(acylamino)-2,2′-bipyridine unit is investigated with respect to its behavior in alkane solvents. It is demonstrated that the lyotropic mesomorphism observed in dodecane can be tuned by varying the concentration of the sample, and the columns can be switched in…

Vapour–liquid coexistence densities near the critical point are reported for polarizable water models, determined by a series of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations with the histogram reweighting method. Previously proposed point charge models rescaled to match the experimental permanent dipole moment in the gas p…

Inhibition of copper corrosion in aerated 0.5 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solutions containing various concentrations of indole was studied in the temperature range from 25°C to 55°C using potentiodynamic curve, weight-loss, and analytical methods. Indole shifted corrosion potentials toward more noble values (i.e., it had…

Super-tough nylon 6 was prepared by using maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene-octene rubber/semicrystalline polyolefin blend (TPEg) as an impact modifier. The morphology, dynamic mechanical behavior, mechanical properties, and toughening mechanism were studied. Results indicate that TPEg with a semicrystalline polyo…

Broad-band UV absorption spectroscopy was used to determine radical densities in reactive gas plasmas generated in a 13.56 MHz capacitively coupled parallel plate reactor. Five radical species were detected: , CF, AlF, and . Absolute (line-integrated) densities were determined in and plasmas, as were the vibrational a…

The addition of tetraalkylammonium cations to aqueous silicate solutions enhances the abundance of symmetric, cagelike, polysilicate anions including the cubic octamer, Si(8)O(20)(8)(-). The equilibrium ratio of tetramethylammonium (TMA) cations to the octameric silicate anion is 8:1 for solutions with a concentration…

Enzymatic ring-opening polymerization and copolymerization of a nine-membered lactone, 8-octanolide (8-OL), was performed in isooctane by using various lipases of different origin as catalyst. The polymerization behavior greatly depended on the lipase origin. Candida antarctica and Pseudomonas cepacia lipases (lipases…

Direct mapping of the interface between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its receptor (hPTH1-Rc) was carried out by photoaffinity scanning studies. Photoreactive analogs of PTH singularly substituted with a p-benzoylphenylalanine (Bpa) at each of the first six N-terminal positions have been prepared. Among these, the ana…
