Whereas lignocellulosic fibers have received considerable attention as a reinforcing agent in thermoplastic composites, their applicability to reactive polymer systems remains of considerable interest. The hydroxyl-rich nature of natural lignocellulosic fibers suggests that they are particularly useful in thermosettin…

Carbon aerogels are prepared by a sol-gel process. By controlling the mass ratio of reactants and the molar ratio of resorcinol to catalyst (R/C), carbon aerogels with different microstructures can be developed. The electrical conductivity is measured by the van der Pauw method. The results show that the electrical co…

Adhesion energies of Cu-low k dielectric interfaces, measured with the technique of four-point bending, show a correlation to chemical mechanical polish results. A limit of 5 J/m/sup 2/ is established, below which thin film delamination and cracking are observed. In general, spin-on polymer dielectrics exhibit better…

Tantalum(V) oxide (Ta2O5) powders were synthesized by a solvothermal reaction of tantalum pentabutoxide (TPB) in toluene at 473–573 K in the presence of water. Ta2O5 powder with a large surface area (>200 m2 g−1) was obtained at 473 and 523 K, and its X-ray diffraction patterns showed no clear peaks of crystallites, w…

The photocolouration of five spiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-indoline] compounds (1–5) and two spironaphthopyranindolines (6, 7) to give the ring-opened merocyanine(s) and the subsequent thermal relaxation back to the closed form was studied. A trans-merocyanine but no cis-photoisomer were detected for 1–7 using λexc = 308…

Liquid crystals composed of photoactive groups, such as azobenzene, are promising materials for optical switching and image storage applications. On exposure to light LC materials commonly undergo an order-to disorder transition. Here, an unusual disorder-to-order transition is presented (the Figure shows a photo-indu…

Crosslinked samples of cis-1,4-polybutadiene (BR) were crystallized at low temperatures and then slowly melted. From volume changes and differential scanning calorimetry measurements, the degree of crystallization in the unstrained state was estimated to be about 20%, much lower than for natural rubber (NR).
