A theoretical model for the metal hydride electrode has been developed assuming that hydrogen diffusion in the alloy and charge‐transfer at the surface control the discharge process. Theoretical equations for the dependence of equilibrium potential and exchange current density on the surface hydrogen concentration hav…

An oxalic acid-based system for chemically retting flax is tested and compared with enzymatic retting. The retting effect is substantially higher at pH 10 and 11 than at lower pH levels, and the optimal oxalic acid concentration is 50 mmol. The presence of the strong detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) further enha…

We report a study of the specific heat, resistivity, and magnetization of ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{x}$ for $x=0.47,$ 0.5, 0.53 with and without an applied magnetic field. In zero (earth) field we find that the charge-ordered materials $(x=0.5,0.53)$ have extra entropy of nonmag…

Microscopic lipid tubules with an average aspect ratio (length/diameter) of approximately 12 were metallized electrolessly with copper or nickel-over-copper, and mixed with vinyl to make foot-square composite dielectric panels. As loadings increased the metal tubule composites displayed an onset of electrical percolat…

The effects of the local dielectric environment on the surface-plasmon resonances of annealed gold-island films as a potential for sensing applications are studied experimentally and modeled theoretically. Gold-island films were annealed at 600 degrees C to produce spheroidal shape particles that exhibit well-resolved…

An isotopic pulse is combined with a gas chromatography−mass spectrum to investigate the mechanism of the partial oxidation of methane. For a pulse reaction of CH 4 /CD 4 /O 2 (1/1/1) at 600 °C over a reduced NiO/SiO 2 catalyst, besides CH 4 and CD 4, large amounts of CHD 3, CH 2 D 2, and CH 3 D were detected in the e…

The effect of a small amount of alloyed Zn (up to 0.13%) on metastable pitting of Al was studied in terms of pit nucleation, propagation, and repassivation in an effort to clarify the mechanism of pitting corrosion of Al. The passive current in 0.5 M sodium chloride (NaCl) was increased by alloyed Zn, but there was no…

A variety of colloidal and polymeric sols, some doped with transition‐metal oxides, were investigated as potential precursors to calcium hexaluminate (CaAl 12 O 19 ) in an attempt to enhance reactivity and lower the formation and texturing temperatures of phase‐pure powders and films. One undoped polymeric sol was fou…
