Here I present an overview of recent studies of the phenomenon of negative refraction and left-handed materials. I will discuss some basic questions pertinent to the problem. It is pointed out that the current claims of negative refraction and left handed materials are not conclusive. To support our consideration, I w…
In a recent communication, Parimi et al. (Nature 426, 404 (2003)) reported the experimental results on imaging by a flat lens made of photonic crystals. They attributed the observed focusing to the negative refraction expected for the Left-Handed-Materials (LHMs). Here we demonstrate that the experimental observation…
We have investigated reversible single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) oxidation by quantitative analysis of the oxide-induced absorption bleaching and luminescence quenching at low pH. These data, in combination with DFT structure calculations, suggest that the nanotube oxide is a 1,4-endoperoxide. At low pH, the endoper…
Curves of the crack growth resistance parameters K R , J R and R as a function of crack length were obtained for IM1-24 nuclear grade graphite subject to oxidation in CO 2 at 900°C up to 20% burn-off. For the unoxidized graphite, the curves show three regions: (i) an initial rise attributed to the development of bridg…

Abstract Titanium exhibits a good corrosion resistance in oxidizing acids and neutral media but it is severely attacked in reducing acids. On the contrary, tantalum presents an excellent resistance in both oxidizing and reducing acids, but its high cost limits its use to very aggressive conditions. The titanium‐tantal…
Abstract Dynamically vulcanized PP/EPDM blends were treated by high‐intensity ultrasonic waves during extrusion. These blends were compared with unvulcanized PP/EPDM blends that were treated by ultrasound during extrusion and then dynamically vulcanized. Die pressure and power consumption were measured. The effects of…
We employ a continuum model to compute both torque and force transmitted through a thin twist cell filled with a nematic liquid crystal and bounded by flat plates with anchorings at right angles. The transmitted torque vanishes at the order reconstruction threshold when the cell thickness is comparable with the biaxia…
Abstract The rheological properties of molten LDPE and mPE foams have been measured for small‐amplitude oscillatory shear flow. The foam samples were prepared by injection molding, and the effect of injection conditions on the resultant cell structure is discussed. In all cases cellular foams with closed cells were ob…
Abstract Electrochemical measurements (steady‐state current‐voltage curves and AC impedance) were coupled with mass‐loss measurements, SEM examinations, and EDSX analyses to investigate the inhibition of corrosion of a carbon steel by a mixture of phosphonic acid HEDP (acid 1, hydroxyethylene, 1‐1 diphosphonic) and so…
AA 5182 aluminium alloy with a strong cube texture was cold rolled to different reductions along the following directions: firstly, the original rolling direction; secondly, at angles of 22.5 and 45° to the original rolling direction. The evolution of texture in the cold-rolled samples with different initial textures…
Glutamine-binding protein (GlnBP) from Escherichia coli is a monomeric protein localized in the periplasmic space of the bacterium. It is responsible for the first step in the active transport of L-glutamine across the cytoplasmic membrane. The protein consists of two similar globular domains linked by two peptide hin…
Low-pressure low-frequency NH3 plasmas have been used for the surface modification of bulk polyethylene films and of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) self-assembled monolayers deposited on oxidized silicon wafers. The incorporation of nitrogen-containing groups by the plasma treatment has been followed by contact angle…
A new technique of fluidized-bed metal–organic chemical vapour deposition (FB-MOCVD) is developed as a one-step method to prepare highly dispersed metal-supported catalysts for carbon nanotube synthesis. By using ultrafine powder of gamma-alumina (70 nm Sauter mean in size) as the support with Fe(CO)5 and Mo(CO)6 as t…
In a recent paper, Koshny, Markos, Smith, and Soukoulis [Phys. Rev E 68, 065602 (2003)] report that their computations show that the product of imaginary parts of electric permittivity and magnetic permeability in a passive media is negative. They also criticize a well-known theorem that both imaginary parts are posit…
Abstract The solubility of butane and isobutane in molten polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) was measured at pressures up to 3 MPa and along four isotherms from 438 to 483 K for PP and from 348 to 473 K for PS. The solubility increased with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature. At 438 K and 2 MPa, the s…

Abstract New nanocomposites based on a vinylester resin (VER) and the organo‐montmorillonites (ODA‐M, BHL‐M, DEM‐M, BHLV‐M) modified with octadecylammonium, bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)lauryl ammonium, diethyl[2‐(methacryloyloxyl)ethyl]ammonium, and bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)lauryl(vinylbenzyl)‐ammonium chlorides, respectively, were…
Neutron powder diffraction (NPD), ac susceptibility and electron magnetic resonance (EMR) techniques were employed for studying the crystallographic structure and magnetic ordering in $\mathrm{Ca}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ru}}_{x}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ $(x\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.40)$ manganite system. It is…
