Abstract The crystallization kinetics of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) depends not only on the undercooling but also on its microstructure characteristics. In this paper the effect of isotacticity distribution on the isothermal kinetics of iPPs in the crystallization regime III was examined by differential scanning ca…

Abstract This paper describes thermally enhanced in‐plane and out‐of‐plane reorientation of mesogenic groups in copolymer liquid‐crystal (CPLC) films that have a photo‐cross‐linkable 4‐(4′‐methoxycinnamoyl)biphenyl (MCB) side group and a 4‐methoxybiphenyl (4MB) side group. The side groups are cross‐linked by irradiati…

BACKGROUND: Lumbrokinase (LK) is a fibrinolytic enzyme purified from the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus. To investigate the fibrinolytic and antithrombotic effects of lumbrokinase, a series of animal experiments were performed. METHODS: The Dacron graft (3 mm in diameter, 3 cm in length) were treated with LK via two dif…

Abstract This paper investigates the extensional rheology (through melt strength measurement) of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) filled polypropylene (PP) melts. Different concentrations of CaCO 3 filled PP were produced by mixing two master batches of pure PP and 70 wt% CaCO 3 filled PP in required proportions in a count…

An optimization method for the sensitivity of diffraction efficiency measurements is presented. I define the sensitivity as the estimation precision of the grating parameters. The optimization method called sensitivity analysis for fitting scans all the possible measurement configurations and selects the configuration…

A series of 1,4-piperazinium di-n-alkyl sulphates was synthesized and compared with an analogous series of 1,5-homopiperazinium di-n-alkyl sulphates. Their thermotropic liquid crystalline behaviour was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. For the piperazini…

The genus Coleochaete Bréb. is a relatively small group of freshwater microscopic green algae with about 15 recognized species. Although Coleochaete has long been considered to be a close relative of embryophytes, a comprehensive study of the genus has not been published since Pringsheim's 1860 monograph. As part of a…

Abstract Dielectric spectroscopy was applied for the first time to aramid fiber‐reinforced PEEK, wherein the effect of the fiber on the dielectric response was examined for both amorphous and crystalline poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) over wide temperature and frequency ranges. Whereas the temperature behavior of the…

In this paper, the formation of glass-forming reactive mesogens, that do not crystallize upon cooling, but vitrify and form supercooled LC phases, is described. These molecules exhibit broad range LC phases and enable us to carry out photopolymerization in a broad range of temperatures. From such reactive mesogens den…

An investigation has been carried out to assess the zinc runoff from a variety of galvanised materials over 16 months at the industrial/marine Port Talbot weathering site. Over 16 months of exposure, bare zinc, and Electrozinc have the highest levels of zinc runoff (4·38 and 4·20 g m-2) followed by general galvanised…

Aluminum nitride–boron nitride (AlN–BN) composites were prepared based on the nitridation of aluminum boride (AlB 2 ). AlN powder was added to change the BN volume fraction in the obtained composites. Thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis (TG‐DTA), X‐ray diffractometry, and the nitridation ratio were used to…

Several series of polyammonium and polyphosphonium organic salts are surveyed. These polycationic salts may be divided into several topographical categories based upon their structural characteristics (such as dendrimers, rings and strings) and their physical state (solid, liquid crystalline, liquid). The synthetic ap…

The thermal wear ratio of a high speed steel roll was investigated experimentally in hot strip rolling with a DTW- 166 thermal wear testing machine developed by the authors. It is clear that the wear ratio increased with number of cycles. Some of the increase in wear was because of the black oxide layer generated on t…

A commercial TiO 2 ‐excess BaTiO 3 powder has been sintered and its microstructure analyzed for crystallographic facetting via both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). Facetted grain surfaces are developed initially from {111} at a low temperature of 1215°C, which are then altered to {111} and…

Modeling the effects of stress birefringence is critical for polarization sensitive optical systems. Optical design and optomechanical software tools to model stress birefringence are discussed and illustrated for three examples. The first example compares retardance in calcium fluoride lenses as a function of shape.…
