The stability and water exchange dynamics of gadolinium (GdIII) complexes are critical characteristics that determine their effectiveness as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A new heteropodal GdIII chelate, [Gd-TREN-bis(6-Me-HOPO)-(TAM-TRI)(H2O)2] (Gd-2), is presented which is based on a hydroxypy…
The synthesis and structural characterization of microporous lanthanide silicates (Na(1.08)K(0.5)Ln(1.14)Si(3)O(8.5).1.78H(2)O, Ln = Eu, Tb, Sm, Ce) are reported. The structure of these solids is closely related with the structure of hydrated calcium silicate minerals known as tobermorites and was solved by powder X-r…
Species based diatom investigations are an essential component of the four new periphyton based methods developed for river quality assessment in Austria since 1993. The monitoring methods based on all Austria data allow (A) a first approach to assess ecological quality based on all algae including diatoms by means of…
Bifunctionalized poly(amidoamine) dendrimers having both quaternary ammonium groups and primary amines on their periphery were prepared. Pd and Pt nanoparticles were encapsulated within these dendrimers by extraction of the metal ions into their interior, followed by chemical reduction. The high positive charge on the…
A hydrolyzed silane ((C 2 H 5 O) 3 Si−(CH 2 ) 3 −NH 2 ) was anchored on the surface of silica nanoparticles, forming silica-immobilized silane. After calcination, the silane-modified silica (M-silica) can attract heteropoly acid (HPA) efficiently. It has been shown that the presence of water in the atmosphere is neces…
Abstract In this work, the behaviour of biocomposites obtained by the addition of flax cellulose pulp to Mater‐Bi®, a commercial thermoplastic matrix based on starch, has been studied in comparison with traditional glass fibre composites. The composites were produced by compounding with a twin‐screw extruder. Dependin…
Abstract Delphi Corporation and the BMW Group are developing Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) technology for application in the automotive industry as an on‐board Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). Delphi is part of the US‐DOE SECA initiative and is working with Battelle to develop SOFC for multiple applications including the au…
This paper elucidates the effects of cell density on the volume expansion behavior of polypropylene (PP) foams blown with butane in extrusion. The cell density was controlled by varying the talc content, and foam expansion was observed at a fixed blowing agent content while varying the melt and die temperatures. As ob…
Solvent exchange caused reversible variations in color, magnetic properties, and the Faraday spectra of Co(II)(1.5)[Cr(III)(CN)(6)].7.5H2O (1) prepared in water. Compound 1 turned from peach to deep blue, which was due to a change in the coordination geometry on Co(II) ion from six-coordinate pseudo-octahedral (OhCo(I…
Currently most developments in the area of natural fibre reinforced composites have focused on random discontinuous fibre composite systems. The development of continuous fibre reinforced composites is, however, essential for manufacturing materials, which can be used in load-bearing/structural applications. The main…
Reaction of A-alpha-PW(9)O(34)(9)(-) with YCl(3) in an aqueous Na(2)CO(3) solution produces a dianion-encapsulated A-type sandwich polyoxometalate, (YOH(2))(3)(CO(3))(A-alpha-PW(9)O(34))(2)(11)(-). The X-ray structure of this complex reveals that three Y(III) ions are sandwiched between two A-alpha-PW(9)O(34)(9)(-) mo…
Abstract Zein‐based plastic sheets and films were formed by extrusion through a slit‐die or blowing head. Zein was plasticized with oleic acid and formed into a wet moldable mass (resin) to feed the extruders. Both single‐ and twin‐screw extruded sheets showed higher elongation at break, lower tensile strength, and lo…
PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) production was attempted with SBRs from food waste. Seed microbes were collected from a sewage treatment plant with a biological nutrient removal process, and acclimated with synthetic substrate prior to the application of the fermented food waste. Laboratory SBRs were used to produce PHA wi…
We present an assessment of the effect of rotational losses on an induction machine. The assessment provides an estimate of the iron losses in an induction machine by three methods, all of which rely on the output data of a two-dimensional finite-element method: 1) calculating iron losses as if they were produced by a…
Viscosity of hydrous silicate melts is a critical property for understanding magma transport, bubble growth, volcanic eruption, and magma fragmentation. We report new inferred viscosity for hydrous rhyolitic melt in the viscosity range of 10 9 to 10 15 Pa·s based on the kinetics of hydrous species reactions in the mel…
Weathering and development of volcanic ash soils show similar patterns in different regions of the world; however, the specific environmental conditions at a given location result in a unique combination of factors and processes governing soil formation. This research was conducted to study pedogenesis on volcanic slo…
Geometric and crystallographic measurements of grain‐boundary thermal grooves and surface faceting behavior as a function of orientation have been used to determine the surface energy anisotropy of SrTiO 3 at 1400°C in air. Under these conditions, thermal grooves are formed by surface diffusion. The surface energy ani…
A concise route was developed to functionalize carbon nanotubes via the esterification reaction of the carboxylate salt of carbon nanotubes and alkyl halides in the presence of a phase-transfer reagent in water. The series of functionalized CNTs obtained were characterized and analyzed by FT-IR, 1 H NMR, TEM, and TGA…
An investigation of the feasibility of in situ monitoring of polymorphic transitions is presented. Focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) and particle vision and measurement (PVM) are used to study changes in crystal population and morphology during the transition of the δ-polymorph of d -mannitol to the thermody…
A major cost factor of cationizing cellulose with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHTAC) is the reaction efficiency, which is less than perfect due to a competing hydrolysis reaction. The efficiency of the cationization reaction sequence is analyzed in terms of chemical kinetics, and experimental…
