Two new A-type proanthocyanidins have been isolated from Ecdysanthera utilis and identified as epicatechin-(4beta-->8,2beta-->O-->7)-epicatechin-(4beta-->8)-epicatechin (5) and epicatechin-(4beta-->8)-epicatechin-(4beta-->8,2beta-->O-->7)-epicatechin-(4beta-->8)-epicatechin (6), respectively. The structure-related com…
The preparation and crystal structure determination of the iron(III) compound of formula [(NH(4))(2)[Fe(2)O(ox)(2)Cl(2)].2H(2)O](n) (1) (ox = oxalate dianion) are reported here. Complex 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Fdd2, with a = 14.956(7) A, b = 23.671(9) A, c = 9.026(4) A, and Z = 8. The st…

Abstract Corona discharge treatment (CDT) is a surface modification technique commonly used to treat plastic films prior to adhesive bonding, printing with inks, lamination to other films and other coating applications. In this study, the treatment conditions are, in energy terms, representative of those used in indus…
We report on the new type of photoinduced magnetization in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As thin films. Optically generated spin-polarized holes change the orientation of ferromagnetically coupled Mn spins and cause a large change in magnetization, being 15% of the saturation magnetization, without the application of a magneti…
We have studied the dependence of impurity vs. band effects in the appearance of inverse giant magnetoresistance (IGMR) in Cu/Fe superlattices whit Cr. Current in plane (CIP) and current perpendicular to the plane (CPP) geometries are considered. For the calculation of the conductivities we have used the linearized Bo…
The phase-transition sequence of a ferroelectric perovskite such as BaTiO_3 can be simulated by computing the statistical mechanics of a first-principles derived effective Hamiltonian [Zhong, Vanderbilt and Rabe, Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1861 (1994)]. Within this method, the effect of an external pressure (in general, of…
We have investigated the melting behavior of ultra-thin copper nanowires using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The caloric curves of cylindrical multi-shell copper nanowires showed an insight into the specific phase transition. The melting temperature of copper nanowires is linearly proportional with the num…
On the basis of high pressure diamond-anvil compression studies for the precious metals Ru, Ir, and Os we report the surprising discovery that metallic osmium has a lower compressibility than covalently bonded diamond. We also find that Ir and Ru are as incompressible as Re. In addition, we have performed first princi…
Recently, a new orthorhombic phase has been discovered in the ferroelectric system $(1\ensuremath{-}x)\mathrm{Pb}({\mathrm{Zn}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2/3}){\mathrm{O}}_{3}\ensuremath{-}x{\mathrm{PbTiO}}_{3}$ $(\mathrm{PZN}\ensuremath{-}x\mathrm{PT})$ for $x=9%,$ and for $x=8%$ after the application of an electric field.…
We present fluorescence decay measurements of single ZnS covered CdSe nanocrystals. It is shown that the fluorescence decay time is fluctuating during the investigation leading to a multiexponential decay even for a single nanocrystal. In combination with measurements of the fluorescence blinking behavior we find that…
The biodegradative behaviors of composite films of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) (6×106) and starch (ST) particles were investigated. The films were prepared by gelation–crystallization from dilute solutions of PE, in which ST particles were dispersed. The PE–ST compositions chosen were 3/1, 1/1, 1/…
In this work, we report the synthesis and a study on the degree of electronic delocalization in the asymmetric mixed valence complexes [CpFe(C(8)H(6))Fe(C(8)H(7))](+), 3a(+), and [CpCo(C(8)H(6))Fe(C(8)H(7))](+), 3b(+), (Cp = C(5)Me(5), C(8)H(6) = pentalenyde, C(8)H(7) = hydropentalenyde, and = ((3,5(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(3))…
Abstract We synthesized a new weakly interacting monomer with a reactive phenylsilane group that is an intermediate for many functional groups. The synthesis was performed in two steps: the hydrosilylation of 1,7‐octadiene with dimethylchlorosilane and a Grignard reaction with phenyl magnesium bromide. The new monomer…
Abstract Thermoplastic elastomers require domains that act as physical crosslinks, and these can be either glassy regions or crystallites. For crystallites in a polymer such as polypropylene (PP), the challenge is to develop polymerizations that form the long stereoregular chain sequences required to produce crystalli…

X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) thermal analysis have been used to investigate the structural changes of polyamide 6 (PA 6)/clay and polyamide 6,6 (PA 6,6)/clay nanocomposites. Polyamide 6/clay was prepared by the intercalation of ε-caprolactam and exfoliation of the layered…
In this study the tensile and the dynamic-mechanical behavior of injection-molded samples of various soy protein thermoplastic compounds were evaluated as a function of the amount of glycerol, type and amount of ceramic reinforcement, and eventual incorporation of coupling agents. The incorporation of glycerol into a…
The synthesis of tetra- p -anisyl- p -phenylenediamine (TAPD, 1 ) and its derivatives containing appended diarylamino (AA) redox groups (2AA/PD, 2 and 4AA/1PD, 3 ) is presented. Such mixed redox arrays are of interest in a materials context for their projected directional electron transport properties and potential ch…
Abstract We have discovered that pentamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D 5 H) can be readily polymerized into poly(pentmethylcyclopentasiloxane) (PD 5 ) with a Pt (Karstedt) catalyst in the presence of water in bulk or in solution at 100 °C and that the product is a solid with extraordinary properties. The polymerization sta…
