The effect of fiber waviness, which develops during the processing and manufacture of fiber-reinforced composite structures, on compressive failure was investigated. Analytical and experimental evidence has shown that out-of-plane waviness (also referred to as layer or ply waviness) is a major contributing factor in c…
The strength and toughness of a newly developed 0.8C-8Cr cold work tool steel whose composition was controlled to suppress the precipitation of massive eutectic M7C3 carbides were investigated with reference to microstructure and were compared with conventional SKD11. The toughness was evaluated by the area under the…
Enthalpies of solution for N-methylpropionamide and 2-pyrrolidone in water, propan-1-ol, acetone and toluene were measured by calorimetry. Heats of vaporization were determined for the amides by ebulliometry, and enthalpies of solvation from gas phase were obtained. Enthalpies of solvation were the same for the two ne…
The surface contribution to the interfacial chemistry involved in the preparation of potassium-modified metal oxide catalysts has been revealed by examining industrial 5 wt.% K+ silica–alumina versus silica and previously examined alumina. The investigation was conducted by means of potassium and nitrogen adsorption m…
The bis-sulfur-bridged copper(II) dimer [{CuL(HL)Cl}2] (HL = N-ferrocenecarbonyl-N′,N′-dimethylthiourea) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The central copper(II) ion has a distorted tetrahedral environment with one chloride and three sulfur atoms derived from one terminal and two bridging acylthiour…
Recent work has demonstrated that the red carotenoid bixin is easily extracted from Bixa orellana seeds by particle attrition and impact rather than by solvent extraction. This technique may require a previous step for drying seeds at a safe temperature to preserve pigment quality. A spouted bed (SB) with a draft tube…
A variable-pressure scanning electron microscope (VP-SEM) equipped with a high-sensitive backscattered electron (BSE) detector of the YAG type was applied to studies of biological tissue samples. The rat kidney and trachea were fixed, dehydrated in ethanol, critical point-dried and examined in the VP-SEM under a speci…
The alkali-metal iron silicate, CsFeSiO4, has been synthesised, using a gel decomposition method followed by high temperature annealing, and shown to adopt the zeolite ABW structure constructed from alternating FeO4 and SiO4 tetrahedra surrounding caesium.
This paper describes surface grafting of hyperbranched dendritic polyamidoamine, a new class of topological macromolecules, onto glass fiber for modification of the glass fiber surface. Glass fiber having surface amino groups as initiator sites was prepared by treatment of the glass fiber with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysi…
Brownian dynamics simulations have been carried out on a binary colloidal mixture of particles of two different diameters interacting via a Derjaguin-Landau-Verway-Overbeek potential. As the screening length is increased a transition from liquid to crystal (at a volume fraction $\ensuremath{\varphi}=0.2$) or a glassy…
In typical polymerizations of propene, the stereochemical structures of the resulting polymer depend on the replication probability (for meso placements) in two ways. Decrease in this probability decreases the overall isotactic content, but also decreases the average lengths of the isotactic sequences. New catalysts,…
The author looks back over a scientific career of almost 50 years spent mainly in research on liquid crystals (LCs) and carried out largely in University service and latterly for about five years in Industry. In this review, the development through its rapid escalation starting in the early 1970s and stemming from the…
A new method evaluating the fibril width and length of disintegrated bacterial cellulose was developed using optical and rheological analysis. During the early stages of the disintegration process, the bacterial cellulose particles formed loose fibrous aggregates, followed by cutting of the disintegrated fibrils that…

The 2E state lifetime of the C3 ion [Cr(fac-Me5-D3htrico-saneN6)]3+ is 235 µs in H2O and 1.5 ms in D2O at 298 K, the longest lifetimes yet reported for a saturated Cr(III)N6 chromophore at room temperature.
Lithium loss kinetics from polycrystalline Li x Ni 1–x O has been investigated in the temperature range 900-1500°C by measuring the time and temperature dependence of the weight and lattice constant change of the samples. At 900°C the rate of Li 2 O evaporation was controlled by lithium ion diffusion in Li x Ni 1–x O.…
The XPS spectra of Nordstrandite were collected with a VSW HA150 using monochromatic Al Kα x-radiation. Monochromatic radiation provides a distinct clarity to the peak structure in the valence band of Nordstrandite due to the absence of interfering x-ray satellites from the intense O 2s region. Variations in the inten…
To estimate micro-segregation with dendritic solidification, a common method using an integral profile method has been developed. We considered three cases; (1) no diffusion in the solid and finite diffusion in the liquid, (2) finite diffusion in the solid and complete diffusion in the liquid, and (3) finite diffusion…
Nitronyl nitroxide radicals bridged by olefinic spacers display strong intramolecular and antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, the magnitude of which depends on the length of the spacer and on steric crowding around the radicaloid subunits.
—Different amounts (5-20 wt% with respect to the solids content in the adhesive) of a hydrated magnesium/aluminum silicate (attapulgite) were added to solvent-based polyurethane (PU) adhesive formulations. The rheological, thermal, mechanical, surface, and adhesion properties of the filled PU adhesives obtained were m…
