Abstract A simple friction factor has been devised to characterize the frictional properties of textile materials. The friction factor enables universal comparisons among different textile materials. A poly(methyl methacrylate) sled has been used as a standard friction substrate to characterize the friction of a woven…

Subpixel structures found in medical monochrome active-matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) affect noise estimates measured with conventional methods. In this work, we discuss methods that identify sources of noise and permit the comparison of luminance noise estimates across technologies independent of pixel desig…

Absorption spectra, luminescence spectra and luminescence decay time are investigated for a borosilicate glass containing low 0.1 wt% Ce3+ and high 15 wt% Tb3+ concentrations, together with the time-resolved luminescence. A broad absorption band due to parity allowed f → d transition is observed for Ce3+. Sharp absorp…

We have designed a tunable, oblique-incidence resonant grating filter that covers the C band as an add-drop device for incident TE-polarized light. We tune the filter by tilting a microelectromechanical systems platform onto which the filter is attached. The fabrication tolerances as well as the role of finite inciden…

Abstract A new diimide–diacid chloride (3) containing a noncoplanar 2,2′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐biphenylene unit was synthesized by treating 2,2′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐diamino‐biphenylene with trimellitic anhydride followed by refluxing with thionyl chloride. Various new poly(ester‐imide)s were prepared from 3 with different bisphenol…

Abstract Dynamic rheological measurements were carried out on blends of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK)/poly(aryl ether sulfone) (PES) in the melt state in the oscillatory shear mode. The data were analyzed for the fundamental rheological behavior to yield insight into the microstructure of PEEK/PES blends. A variatio…

Transient NO x storage and TPD runs were performed for a feed of NO or NO 2 in the presence or absence of O 2 over Ba/Al 2 O 3 and Pt−Ba/Al 2 O 3 . A kinetic model for NO x storage previously developed in the literature was used to simulate the majority of the results, after only the Pt and Ba dispersions had been ada…

We demonstrate that when a single-walled carbon nanotube is under pressure it undergoes a series of shape transitions, first transforming from a circle to an oval and then from an oval to a peanut. Most remarkably, the ratio of the area of the tube cross sections at the second transition over that at the first transit…
