The structural relaxation rates, which are crucial in understanding the liquid \ensuremath{\leftrightarrow} glass transition, are investigated within the free-volume theory. We discuss the origin of the observed dispersion of relaxation times and show that it is simply related to the dispersion of the total surface-to…

We persent tempeature measurements of the importnt parameter defming the properties of the semctic C* Phase in a series of schiff bases. The pitch of the helica texture is measured optically. The molecular tilt is deduced from optical observations and from X-ray measurements of the smectic layer thickness. The critica…

The solid state reactions that take place between many ceramics and metals can be utilised to produce strong vacuum-tight joints that maintain their strength and durability even at elevated temperatures. In this context platinum can play an especially important role because of its high melting point and resistance to…

Cerium dioxide doped with Y3+ ions, which is of interest for its ionic conductivity, is here studied by anelastic methods. The internal friction peaks observed are analyzed into peaks A, B, C (with Hr = 0.64, 0.71 and 0.78 eV, respectively). Peak A, present at low Y3+ concentrations is established to be due to a YV Pa…

The reduction in the dielectric anomaly near Tc in improper ferroelectrics suggests that this behavior may be exploited to significantly enhance the figure-of-merit for pyroelectric infrared detection. This “reduction” is associated with a decoupling of the thermal and dielectric responses which, in turn, reflects the…

Poly(vinyl chloride) resins are produced by four basic processes: suspension, emulsion, bulk and solution polymerization. PVC suspensions resins are usually relatively dust-free and granular with varying degrees of particle porosity. PVC emulsion resins are small particle powders containing very little free monomer. B…

Abstract Perfluoroalkyltin(IV) halides (RfSnX2I) were prepared in situ by the oxidative addition of perfluoroalkyl iodides to tin(II) halide in N,N-dimethylformamide. Aldehydes and ketones readily reacted with RfSnCl2I giving perfluoroalkylcarbinols in the N,N-dimethylformamide-pyridine system. RfSnF2I, however, did n…

Abstract Thermal polymerization of acrylamide was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. Latent heat of fusion Δ H f and enthalpy of polymerization Δ H p values were found to be 36 and −18.0 kcal mol −1 , respectively. The overall activation energy E for the polymerization was calculated to be 19 k cal mol −1 u…

Alumina and silica powders were sintered at 1250° to 1460°C in the presence of liquid phases containing CaO, A1 2 O 3 , and SiO 2 . The data were analyzed using the equation D = K log t +C and the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy for sintering decreases with increasing amounts of liquid phase.

Abstract Preparations have been made of acid‐soluble collagens whose telopeptides have suffered different levels of proteolytic attack. The collagens with more intact telopeptides form fibrils more rapidly than those with degraded telopeptides. In addition, we have shown that a high molecular weight aggregate rich in…
