Porous alumina was fabricated by anodization in sulfuric acid and oxalic acid, where a laser dye, rhodamine 6G (RG6), and another luminescent organic molecule 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq 3 ) were impregnated. The morphology determined by atomic force microscopy shows that the size of the pores is about 10-15 nm f…

This article reports the first work on the use of silica supported dendritic chiral auxiliaries for the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde: the control of dendrimer propagation on the silica surface is of prime importance to obtain enhanced conversion, selectivity, and enantioselectivity.

Abstract This article presents the tensile properties and morphological characteristics of binary blends of the high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and a linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE). Two constituents were melt blended in a single‐screw extruder. Injection‐molded specimens were evaluated for their mechanical p…

Abstract Glyoxal and glutaraldehyde behave very differently for improving wet strength of paper. It is found that glyoxal is very efficient for improving temporary wet strength of paper without the presence of a catalyst and exposure to elevated temperatures. When a metal salt, such as Zn(NO 3 ) 2 , is used as a catal…

Tin ion-exchanged montmorillonite catalyzed the ring-opening polymerization of δ-valerolactone in a solvent free system. The polymerization proceeded in a living manner, giving rise to poly(δ-valerolactone)s with controlled molecular weights. Aluminium and iron ion-exchanged montmorillonites were also effective for th…

The reliability of the approximations commonly adopted in the calculation of static optical (hyper) polarizabilities is tested against exact results obtained for an interesting toy-model. The model accounts for the principal features of typical nonlinear organic materials with mobile electrons strongly coupled to mole…

We extend the Ericksen–Leslie theory for nematic liquid crystals to account for the presence of disclinations. To achieve this, we use Gurtin's theory of configurational forces and obtain an evolution equation in which the resultant of the Eshelby stress at a disclination is proportional to the velocity of the disclin…

Spermine-bridged gem-disubstituted cyclotriphosphazatrienes have been synthesised by two routes. In one route a spermine-bridged cyclophosphazene 2 reacted with monofunctional nucleophiles known to favour gem disubstitution in cyclophosphazene rings (e.g.tert-butylamine) to give 3b, or to favour formation of spiro-der…

In this paper the microscopic dynamics of methyl side groups in polyisoprene is studied by means of inelastic neutron scattering. By combining time-of-flight and backscattering technique a range of four decades can be obtained (0.2 ps–2 ns). The two experimental results were combined in the time domain by using an inv…

We have studied the optical absorptions of a series of point defects in SiO2 by means of time-dependent density functional response theory (TD-DFT). The structure of the defects has been described with cluster models and atomic orbital basis functions. For each center the lowest singlet→singlet and singlet→triplet (fo…

For ${\mathrm{CaCu}}_{3}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{4}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$---an insulator that exhibits a giant dielectric response above 100 K---${\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+}$ antiferromagnetic spin ordering has been investigated by magnetic Raman scattering and magnetization measurements. Below the N\'eel temperature, ${T}_{N}=25\mathrm{K},…

Abstract Because silica has strong filler–filler interactions, a silica‐filled rubber compound is characterized by a poor dispersion of the filler. Properties of silica‐filled natural rubber (NR) compounds were improved using polychloroprene (chloroprene rubber [CR]). The bound rubber content of the compound increases…

A practical approach to the determination of the pore entrance size in ordered silicas with cage-like mesoporous structures (OSCMSs) is proposed. A fundamental insight into the OSCMS pore connectivity is gained, including the control of the pore entrance size by post-synthesis surface modification, and by selection of…

We report recent measurements of the electronic and structural properties of bulk samples of ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ molecules encapsulated in single-wall carbon nanotubes (so-called peapods) using electron-energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission. We demonstrate that ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ peapods with a single-wall carbon…

The electronic structure of nanoscopic oxide-coated aluminum islands is investigated using a tight-binding model that incorporates the geometry, chemistry and disorder of the particle. The oxide coat is found to significantly increase the volume accessible to electrons at the Fermi level. The level statistics agree wi…

Biological cells in soft materials can be modeled as anisotropic force contraction dipoles. The corresponding elastic interaction potentials are long-ranged ($\sim 1/r^3$ with distance $r$) and depend sensitively on elastic constants, geometry and cellular orientations. On elastic substrates, the elastic interaction i…

Recently, Schmidt et al. proved that the energy spectrum of a Heisenberg spin system (HSS) is bounded by two parabolas, i.e. lines which depend on the total spin quantum number S as S(S+1). The prove holds for homonuclear HSSs which fulfill a weak homogenity condition. Moreover, the extremal values of the exact spectr…
