The effects of rare earth metals on the morphology of γ-M2 C, γ-M6 C, and γ-MC eutectics of as cast M2 high speed steel were investigated. The solidification of the specimens was monitored by conventional and differential thermal analysis and the characterisation of the microstructures was performed through optical an…
Abstract Zinc and metal-free amphiphilic phthalocyanines (pcs) substituted by four or eight tri(ethylene oxide) chains (3,6,9-trioxadecyloxy groups) {(H2(4EGpc), [Zn(4EGpc)], H2(8EGpc), and [Zn(8EGpc)] in Fig. 1)} have been prepared in order to study their aggregation in water, dioxane, and dioxane/water mixtures, the…
This study reports the synthesis of polyurethane–imide (PU–imide) copolymers using 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) polytetramethylene glycols (PTMGs) and different aromatic dianhydrides. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicate that PU–imide copolymers had two phase structures containing four t…
The depolymerization of PET, nylon 66, and nylon 46 at high temperatures in an autoclave is well known in the patent literature. We sought to invent processes for the depolymerization of PET, nylon 66, and nylon 46 in alkaline solutions at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure. A method was developed for the depol…
The recycling of nylon 6 carpet via depolymerization provides the potential for an environmentally benign new process to produce world-class caprolactam. This article describes the depolymerization of nylon 6 carpet in the presence of steam under medium pressure (800-1500 kPa, 100-200 psig). A small laboratory apparat…
Abstract The tensile properties of three types of injection molded glass bead (GB) filled polypropylene (PP)/ethylene‐propylene‐diene monomer (EPDM) ternary composites have been determined at room temperature by using an Instron materials testing machine. The effects of the filler surface treatment, the glass bead (GB…
Encapsulated in a protective [{Fe(pz)3}4] outer layer, which provides the complex with structural stability, the octanuclear complex [Fe8(μ4-O)4(μ-pz)12Cl4] contains a Fe4O4 core (see drawing) that withstands four consecutive reversible one-electron reductions. Iron–oxygen clusters are shown to possess redox propertie…
Passivity of iron in alkaline solutions was investigated by in situ X‐ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) and with a laser absorption technique. In 0.1 M NaOH, no significant material loss takes place during reduction of the iron passive film, but the ferric passive film is converted completely to a ferrous…
The properties of space charge (homocharge) and dipoles (heterocharge) in various electrets have been in the focus of interest since the investigations of B. Gross on carnauba wax. In this article we present a review on the role and the interaction of charges and dipoles in the polymeric electret polyvinylidenefluorid…
Shock compression of polycrystalline copper was numerically investigated by use of a discrete-element model to highlight underlying heterogeneous and nonequilibrium processes at the grain level. The average diameter of model grains was 12 \ensuremath{\mu}m. Results show highly transient vortical flow fields and strong…
The FOCUS approach to zeolite structure determination from powder diffraction data has been applied to data from four different zeolitic materials. The solutions of the structures of two aluminophosphate molecular sieves, YUL-89 (AWO topology) and YUL-90 (ZON topology), are used to demonstrate routine applications of…
MnAs has been prepared from elemental powders using a modified ball-milling technique, followed by hot pressing and subsequent annealing. Giant magnetic field-induced uniaxial strains of up to 0.7% were observed in a temperature range above the Curie temperature (TC=305 K). Dilatometric and magnetization measurements…
The organic silsesquioxane, methylsilsesquioxane (MSQ), has a low dielectric constant because of its low film density compared to thermal oxide. However, the quality of the MSQ film is degraded by the damage caused by oxygen plasma and hygroscopic behavior during photoresist stripping. In this work, we have studied th…
A novel process called solid-state shear pulverization (S3P) has been developed at Northwestern University to recycle single or commingled postconsumer or preconsumer polymeric waste without sorting by type or color. This continuous, one-step process converts shredded plastic or rubber waste into controlled-particle-s…
Undoped and aluminum-doped ZnO epitaxial films were grown on (001) sapphire substrates by an ion-beam sputtering method with or without the irradiation of oxygen radicals. The effect of oxygen-radical irradiation was notable in the undoped ZnO films when the growth temperature was relatively low. The irradiation impro…

Abstract This paper concerns the morphology development of in situ compatibilized semicrystalline polymer blends in a co‐rotating, intermeshing twin‐screw extruder, using polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA‐6) blends as model systems. The morphology of in situ compatibilized blends develops much faster that of mech…
The surface properties of ammonia core and ethylenediamine core poly(amidoamine) starburst dendrimers (N−SBD and EDA−SBD, respectively) were comparatively investigated, by employing photochemical and spectroscopic probes. Photoinduced electron-transfer quenching of tris(2,2‘-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) chloride by methyl…
Despite recognition that Fe availability is significant in regulating oceanic production in some regions, the biogeochemistry of this trace element is poorly understood. To complement contemporary methods of analytical chemistry, we have used an immunological approach to monitor the Fe nutrition of marine phytoplankto…
Novel multicomponent organogels containing an aqueous phase are described, and some properties which influence their potential as delivery devices for hydrophilic drugs and vaccines are discussed. The gel is produced by preparing a hot water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion using sorbitan monostearate, a nonionic surfactant whic…
