Polyethylene (PE) has been and is the most common and most studied polymer. Nevertheless, there is still no full consensus among researchers about such a basic property as the value of its glass tr...
The recycling of ceria-based glass polishing powder by alkali treatment was investigated. Major impurities in the waste, a SiO 2 component from fine glass powder and an Al 2 O 3 component from coagulating agents, could be removed easily at 50−60 °C in a 4 mol kg -1 NaOH solution within 1 h. These impurities react with…
The thermal degradation of natural rubber (NR) in air at a constant heating rate was studied by using of the thermogravimetry (TG) and thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA) simultaneous techniques. It indicates that the temperature of thermal degradation of gel and sol of NR rises linearly along…
A photochemical technique for the modification of polyethylene (PE) surfaces was developed. Polyethylene samples were irradiated with UV light in a gas atmosphere containing SO 2 and air to achieve a photosulfonation of the surface. The introduction of sulfonic acid groups (−SO 3 H) onto the PE surface was proved by F…

Variation of the crosslink density of a rubber vulcanizate depending on the rubber composition after the thermal aging was studied with single rubber, biblend, and triblend vulcanizates of natural rubber (NR), butadiene rubber (BR), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The efficient vulcanization (EV) system was employ…
In the newly designed photoswitchable electron transfer compound 2, our previously published donor−bridge−acceptor system (anthracene−CH 2 −bithiophene−pyridinium) is modified by incorporation of the photoisomerizable dithienylethene (DTE) as a switching unit. In the open-ring form 2a, excitation of the anthracene don…
Multilayer thin film assemblies fabricated by the sequential adsorption of polyelectrolytes on a quartz substrate were used as a supramolecular reaction template to study the in situ nucleation and growth of PbS nano- and microparticles. Chemical reaction within the polymer film was initiated by absorbing Pb 2+ from a…
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthases catalyze the conversion of beta-hydroxybutyryl coenzyme A (HBCoA) to PHB. These enzymes require an active site cysteine nucleophile for covalent catalysis. A protein BLASTp search using the Class III Chromatium vinosum synthase sequence reveals high homology to prokaryotic lipases w…
The question of whether a protein whose natural sequence is inverted adopts a stable fold is still under debate. We have determined the 2. 1-A crystal structure of the retro-GCN4 leucine zipper. In contrast to the two-stranded helical coiled-coil GCN4 leucine zipper, the retro-leucine zipper formed a very stable, para…
We have investigated the magnetic and electrical resistance behaviour of Ca$_{3-x}$Y$_x$LiRuO$_6$. The parent compound exhibits magnetic ordering from Ru sublattice at a rather high temperature, 113 K. Though the paramagnetic Curie temperature ($θ$$_p$) is negative indicative of antiferromagnetic ordering, the large m…
We present a detailed comparison of the structural predictions of the effective many-body Brenner potential with those of ab-initio studies for known reconstructions of diamond (100) and (111) surfaces. These results suggest high reliability of the Brenner potential for dealing with carbon-based structures where diffe…
We have used an eight band model to investigate the electronic structures and to calculate the optical matrix elements of InAs-GaSb broken gap semiconductor heterostructures. The unusual hybridization of the conduction band states in InAs layers with the valence band states in GaSb layers has been analyzed in details.…
The density of an atom in a state of well-defined angular momentum has a specific finite spherical harmonic content, without and with interactions. Approximate single-particle schemes, such as the Hartree, Hartree-Fock, and Local Density Approximations, generally violate this feature. We analyze, by means of perturbat…
(withdrawn)AC resistance of melt-spun granular magnetic Cu85Co15 ribbons was measured as a function of temperature in the range 5-300 K, magnetic field Hdc in the range -60 kOe to 60 kOe, and frequency in the range 1-1000 Hz. A sharp peak of zero-field resistance, which scales with frequency, and an associated isotrop…
A method for measuring the asymmetry parameter gamma arising from dipole-quadrupole interference in core-level photoemission is proposed which is based on condensed thin films and exploits the influence of this asymmetry in photoemission monitoring of x-ray standing wave field absorption. The high density of material…
We conduct an experimental study of the dependence of single bubble sonoluminescence intensity on the concentration of various alcohols. The light intensity is reduced by one-half at a molar fraction of ethanol of approximately 2.5x10(-5); butanol achieves the same reduction at a concentration 10 times smaller. We acc…
The in situ observation of thermal alteration of photoinduced optical anisotropy of ultrathin films of polymethacrylates having p-cyanoazobenzene side chains exhibiting amorphous, crystalline, and liquid-crystalline phases was performed by means of temperature scanning ellipsometry. Whereas photogenerated optical anis…
Magnetic susceptibility of partially aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes has been studied using superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. Partial alignment of multiwalled nanotubes was produced by uniaxially straining composites of carbon nanotubes embedded in polymer matrices. The degree of alignment…
We have investigated the dynamic formation of silicon nanoparticles after pulsed-laser ablation of a silicon target into argon gas, in order to fabricate the nanoparticles that exhibit visible photoluminescence with higher efficiency. The nanoparticles growing in argon gas were detected by measuring plasma emission re…
