Disturbances in the wet end can affect both the paper machine runnability and the paper quality. If things go wrong in the wet end, little can be done later in the papermaking process to remedy the problems. Wet end disturbances are often directly related to the different dissolved and colloidal substances (DisCo's) a…

Segmented polyurethane(SPU)s are block polymers which have a good elastic property and thermoplasticity. However, the biocompatibility of SPU is not sufficient, and a living organism rejects the SPU as a foreign material. Thus, some modification is needed to provide excellent biocompatibility and retain the good physi…

Abstract The amphiphilic 5, 11, 17, 23‐tetra‐ t ‐butyl‐25, 26, 27, 28‐tetrakis(carboxymethoxy)calix[4]arene ( 1 ) forms stable monolayers at the air‐water interface which serve as template to induce growth of CaCO 3 (calcite) single crystals. The nucleation density and the preferred orientation(s) of calcite single cr…

A novel technique to derive the closed-form spatial Green’s function for finite dielectric structures is presented by employing a combination of the characteristic Green’s function (CGF) and complex images (CI) techniques. To show the versatility of this technique, a two-dimensional finite dielectric substrate is stud…

The coarsening dynamics of a faceted vicinal crystalline surface growing into its melt by attachment kinetics is considered. The convective Cahn-Hilliard equation ( CCH ) is derived as a small amplitude expansion of such surface evolutions restricted to 1-D morphologies, with the local surface slope serving as the ord…

In this review, on the basis of our recent theoretical and experimental studies, we discuss the magnetic and electrical properties of γ-phase and L10-type antiferromagnetic Mn alloys. The point we wish to stress is that the calculated electronic properties are consistent with the experimental magnetic and electrical r…

The atomic and magnetic structures of the MnAs compound are investigated using neutron diffraction at high pressures up to 38 kbar in the temperature range 15–300 K. It is found that, as the temperature decreases under high pressure, the MnAs compound undergoes a spin-reorientation transition from the ferromagnetic or…

The behavior of nitrile rubber during long-term thermal aging was evaluated by following the migration of low-molecular-weight additives and additive degradation products from the material. Headspace-GC-MS analysis showed that at 60C the number of low-molecular-weight compounds released was rather low, but a significa…

The strengthening and toughening of low density polyethylene (LDPE)-polypropylene (PP) blends with a commercial ethylene/propylene block copolymer (CO) have been investigated. It is shown that the addition of the copolymer improved the ductility of the LDPE-PP blends without any loss of elastic modulus. Particularly f…

The pyrolysis behavior of organic-inorganic hybrids with Si-O-Nb/Si-O-Ta oxygen bridged heterometallic bonds was investigated. The easy cleavage of Si-O-Nb bonds was confirmed by infrared (IR) spectra, and Si-O-Ta bonds were broken at higher temperatures, suggesting the difference in energy between Si-O and O-M (M=Nb…

A nonlocal formulation of rubber elasticity with applications to nanostructured materials is developed. In general, stress has an entropic and an energetic component. The energetic component is due to short-range interactions of the representative atom with its neighbors, while the entropic component is due to chain c…
