By using the projection operator technique it is observed that the strong Hund's rule coupling and s-d interaction in transition metal elements may lead to an effective coupling between the spin current and spin spirality. As a result, the spin spirality can be regarded as a driving force to produce a spin current. Th…

The phase-field method is reviewed from the general perspective of converting a free boundary problem into a set of coupled partial differential equations. Its main advantage is that it avoids front tracking by using phase fields to locate the fronts. These fields interpolate between different constant values in each…

Abstract Ethylene–propylene–diene terpolymer (EPDM) was modified by bromination reaction. Blending the resulting brominated EPDM with natural rubber (STR5L) and blending the unmodified EPDM with STR5L at various compositions were carried out. The rheological properties of the blends were investigated using a capillary…

Abstract Fine particles of barium ferrite (BaFe 12 O 19 ) were synthesized by the conventional ceramic technique. These materials were then characterized by the X‐ray diffraction method and incorporated in the natural rubber matrix according to a specific receipe for various loadings of ferrite. The rubber ferrite com…

Abstract The application of rubber seed oil (RSO) and epoxidized RSO (ERSO) as a plasticizer in acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) was studied using RSO and ERSO with different levels of epoxidation. The results indicated that ERSO could be used as a less leachable and low volatility plasticizer for NBR. The use of…

Broadband dielectric measurements were carried out on di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) under isothermal conditions at hydrostatic pressures up to 1.6 GPa. A comparison of the dielectric relaxation times with the viscosity revealed that no breakdown of the Einstein-Debye relation is induced by high compression. This absence…
