Abstract It is shown that sol‐gel alumina calcined at 400 0 C is a very efficient catalyst for the epoxidation of cyclohexene and cyclooctene with aqueous 70 wt % hydrogen peroxide. The overall yield per g of catalyst was 0.28 mol of cyclohexene oxide in 5 cycles of 450 min each and 0.43 mol of cyclooctene oxide in 4…

Microscale Laser Shock Peening (LSP) is a technique that can be potentially applied to manipulate the residual stress distributions in metal film structures and thus improve the reliability of micro-devices. This paper reports high-spatial-resolution characterization of shock treated copper thin films on single-crysta…

The optical power spectrum of a signal externally modulated using a Mach-Zehnder modulator is calculated analytically. Optical power spectra are calculated for binary signals for which the drive signal has either raised-cosine or Bessel-filtered pulse shape as well as for duobinary signals created by Bessel filtering.…

Abstract Coordination-organized porphyrin dimers of 5,15-bis[2-(allyloxycarbonyl)ethyl]- and bis[3-(allyloxy)propyl]-20-(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)porphyrinatozinc were covalently linked by an intramolecular olefin metathesis reaction in excellent yields (93–98%). It was found that the yields of the intramolecular metathe…

For many, the thought of terrorists detonating a dirty bomb--a radiological dispersal device--is frightening. However, the radiation health risks from such an occurrence are small. For most people directly involved, the exposure would have an estimated lifetime health risk that is comparable to the health risk from sm…

Abstract Sorbed water molecules in PET (around 1% in mass) lead to classic plasticizing effects, basically evidenced by a decrease of the glass transition ( T g ) and of the cold crystallisation ( T c ) temperatures with increasing water content. During drawing of dry PET film and depending on the draw ratio, the init…

The presence of aluminum oxyhydroxide and its micromorphological characteristics in sclerotium grains were examined by SEM, TEM, and EDX analyses. A spherical fraction with a diameter of 100 nm, which contained C and Al as the predominant elements, was recognized as the unit particle of the matrix of sclerotium grains…

A test for evaluating oilfield corrosion inhibitors using ultrasound has been developed recently. This paper describes experiments that have been undertaken to try and determine some of the processes that occur at the electrode surface during the test. Measurements were taken with both polarization resistance and elec…

Oriented thin films of manganese sulfide ( MnS ) have been deposited by a simple chemical bath deposition (CBD) method, which was a soft solution-processing route for preparation of semiconductor thin films. By varying deposition conditions (e.g. bath temperature, concentration ratio of Mn 2+ ions to CH 3 – CS – NH 2…

Abstract This work gives an introduction into the thermodynamic modeling of polymer systems. After a short overview about the different basics of thermodynamic models, results obtained with the recently proposed PC‐SAFT equation of state are discussed exemplarily for systems containing polymers as well as copolymers.

Ferroelectromagnetic YMnO3 thin films have been deposited on Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. It is found that only these films deposited in 10−3 Pa O2 and annealed in N2 ambient were well crystallized to a hexagonal YMnO3 single phase. Furthermore, the crystallization texture of YMnO3…
