The first synthesis and characterization of sigma-bonded and N-substituted cobalt porphycenes is reported. The investigated compounds are represented as (Pc)Co(R) and (N-CH(3)OEPc)CoCl, where R is CH(3) or C(6)H(5), Pc is the dianion of 2,3,6,7,12,13,16,17-octaethylporphycene (OEPc), 2,7,12,17-tetrapropylporphycene (T…
The synthesis of novel bisaxially coordinated ruthenium(II) complexes of octaphenyltetraazaporphine (L(2)Ru(OPTAP); L = NH(3), pyridine (py), pyrazine (pyz), s-tetrazine (tz), tert-butyl isocyanide (t-BuNC), and p-diisocyanodurole (did)) is reported. Template condensation of diphenylfumaronitrile with pentaammine(dini…
The structural gradients developed along and across the flow direction of injection-molded PVDF and PVDF/PMMA parts were investigated by optical microscopy and thermal analysis techniques. The spatial variation of crystallinity across the thickness direction was found to be insensitive to the process variables: inject…
The degradation of poly(oxyethylene)–poly(ε-caprolactone) (POE–PCL) multiblock copolymers was investigated at 37°C in a 0.13M, pH 7.4 phosphate buffer selected to mimic in vivo conditions. The copolymers were obtained by coupling polycaprolactone diols and poly(ethylene glycol) diacids using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide a…
The antimony-containing polymer of bisphenol-A (BPA) and triphenyl antimony dinitrate was used as a flame retardant (FR) for chloroprene rubber (CR) and natural rubber (NR). The flame retardancy of this additive was monitored by the limiting oxygen index (LOI) measurements of the rubber vulcanizates and compared with…
Tire rubber has been pyrolyzed at various temperatures under a nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting chars have been analyzed for their porosity using nitrogen gas adsorption and for their aqueous adsorption characteristics using phenol, methylene blue, and the reactive dyes Procion Turquoise H-A and Procion Red H-E3B. N…
A model of localized classical electrons coupled to lattice degrees of freedom and, via the Coulomb interaction, to each other, has been studied to gain insight into the charge and orbital ordering observed in lightly doped manganese perovskites. Expressions are obtained for the minimum energy and ionic displacements…
We present a phenomenological theory describing the self-similar coarsening stage in the collapse of a long flexible homopolymer chain in a dilute solution upon a sudden quench. The approach is based on the “necklace” picture of the collapsing chain being composed of clusters separated by strands as demonstrated by co…
Orientation behavior of acrylate-based liquid crystalline (LC) networks containing different types of cross-links is studied and discussed. Cross-links incorporated by chemical reaction with cross-linking agent presumably distort LC order, whereas cross-links induced by γ-irradiation preserve and even stabilize the ne…

We report the results of a computer simulation of the evolution of structure in a two component fluid consisting of a liquid phase and a dispersed colloidal phase subjected to a biaxial field. A biaxial field, such as a rotating field, can induce the organization of polarizable particles into two-dimensional sheets, i…
Posttransfer modification of preformed Langmuir-Blodgett films of poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) and poly(tert-butyl acrylate) by gaseous hydrochloric acid yields films with layered architecture of poly(methacrylic acid) and poly(acrylic acid), respectively. X-ray reflectivity and infrared spectroscopy confirm monolaye…
A model polymer−solid interface, aluminum- (Al-) carboxylated polybutadiene (cPBD), was designed to investigate the influence of the sticker group (−COOH) on the fracture energy ( G IC ). A model polymer, cPBD, was synthesized through high-pressure carboxylation of polybutadiene (PBD) and contained −COOH randomly dist…
The optical transitions of neutral and charged oxygen vacancies in the bulk and on the surface of MgO have been studied by means of first principles calculations. Using rather large cluster models representing the MgO F+ and F centers, oxygen vacancies with one and two electrons trapped in the cavity, respectively, we…
Reactions of semicrystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film with ester-selective reagents at the film−solution interface can be controlled to produce modified film samples containing a thin (less than ∼ 40 Å) surface layer of the reagent-induced functionality. Hydrolysis of PET yields a surface mixture of alc…
Thiolcapped CdTe nanocrystals (18 Å diameter) are investigated by extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements between 8 and 290 K at the Cd and Te K-edge. The different coordination sites of Cd in the particle core and at the surface are identified and are consistent with a CdTe particle core which i…
We have measured the magnetic susceptibility of single-crystal Cu_{1-x}Ni_xGeO_3 to study doping effects of the magnetic impurity (Ni^{2+} has S=1 spin) on the inorganic spin-Peierls (SP) material CuGeO_3. We observed the disappearance of the SP transition and the abrupt increase of the Neel temperature from 2.5 to 3.…
The effect of temperature on adsorption isotherms of Ar, N2, O2, C2H4, and CO2 on model mesoporous adsorbents (MCM-41) with different pore sizes (pore radius rp=1.2, 1.4, 2.1 nm) has been measured. The results clearly show that the hysteresis loop shrinks with increasing temperature and eventually disappears at the hy…
It has recently been shown that zirconium tungstate (ZrW2O8) exhibits isotropic negative thermal expansion over its entire temperature range of stability. This rather unusual behavior makes this compound particularly suitable for testing model predictions of a connection between negative thermal expansion and pressure…
Scientists have sought for over two decades to incorporate the necessary attributes of transparency, stability, and high nonlinear susceptibilities into optimized organic or organometallic chromophores for third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) applications. These investigations have provided an ever-expanding understand…
