We substitute Ga for Mn in the ${\mathrm{La}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ compound to see how magnetic and atomic disorder affects the properties of this system. Ga doping gives rise to minor structural effects in the ${\mathrm{La}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ga}}_…

Abstract Hydrogenation of nitrile–butadiene rubber latex was carried out using hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide, with copper sulfate as catalyst and without pressurized hydrogen and organic solvent. A special inhibitor was used during hydrogenation to reduce gel formation. Various hydrogenation conditions were studied.…

NaAlH 4 is considered as a promising material for onboard storage of hydrogen. It is generally thought that high temperature (>120 °C) and high pressure (>15 MPa) are needed for rehydrogenation of dehydrogenated NaAlH 4 . However, for practical application, reducing the rehydrogenation temperature and pressure as much…

In a recent Physical Review Letter [1] Garcia and Nieto Vesperinas (GNV) dispute the claim of perfect lensing made in [2]. The thrust of the GVN paper is that the solutions proposed in [2] imply infinite energy density and are therefore inadmissible. They claim that finite absorption leads to catastrophic collapse of…

The self-diffusion and tracer diffusion of asymmetric poly(ethylene- alt -propylene- b -dimethylsiloxane), PEP−PDMS, copolymers were measured using forced Rayleigh scattering. Diffusion measurements were made in the disordered state, in disordered micelles, and in the body-centered-cubic (bcc) sphere phase. The FRS in…

Ordered nanorod (∼φ50 nm) arrays of TiO 2 −Ru and TiO 2 −RuO 2 embedded in porous alumina films were prepared from sputtered Al/ITO films on glass substrates through successive processes of anodization and cathodic electrodeposition. The microstructure of the nanorod arrays was investigated by field-emission scanning…

Abstract In this study, the influence of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) and acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene copolymer (ABS) on the mechanical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/CPE and PVC/ABS hybrids were examined. The experimental results show that the toughness of the hybrids could be modified greatly by the…

Abstract Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is characterized by its K ‐value, which is a function of the average molecular weight, the degree of polymerization, and the intrinsic viscosity. The viscosity was measured for aqueous PVP solutions with K ‐values ranging from 92.1 to 95.4 and with concentrations from 2 to 3 weight…

A new synthetic route for the synthesis of polyisobutylene (PIB) stars and PIB-poly(methacrylate) block copolymers was developed by combining living carbocationic and anionic polymerizations. Rapid and quantitative monoaddition of thiophene to living PIB chains has been observed in conjunction with TiCl 4 as Lewis aci…

We investigate the atomistic mechanism of yield to mechanical tension in boron nitride nanotubes. The formation energy of the first emerging defect is computed by accurate ab initio calculations. Its susceptibilities to mechanical tension is further evaluated in an economical fashion, when only load-free clusters need…

Silver nanostructures deposited on glass showed luminescent blinking when excited at a high 442 nm irradiance. The irradiance required to photoactivate the silver, was dependent on the nature of the silver nanostructures. Silver fractal-like structures were found to be highly emissive, requiring only ≈30 W/cm(2) for p…
