Merits of using advanced oxidation processes such as sonolysis and photocatalysis as well as a combination of the two have been explored using model herbicides such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxypropionic acid and the chlorinated phenols 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. Whereas…

Abstract New types of polyurethanes were prepared by reacting soybean oil‐based polyol and different isocyanates. The polyurethanes can be used as foams, elastomers, coatings, adhesives, etc. Their properties strongly depend on crosslinking density and the structure of isocyanates. Aromatic triisocyanates impart the h…

A physically interesting {\it effective rest mass} of photons in electromagnetic media, which is independent of wave frequency $ω$, is defined in the present paper. It is verified that this frequency-independent effective rest mass of photons can be easily read off from the optical refractive index squared $n^{2}(ω) $…

We have synthesized two new interstitial compounds (RPd3)8Mn (R = La and Ce). The Mn ions present in "dilute" concentration of just 3 molar percent form a sublattice with an unusually large Mn-Mn near neighbor distance of ~ 85 nm. While the existence of (RPd3)8M (where M is a p-block element) is already documented in…

Self-assembled Ge islands were grown on stripe-patterned Si (001) substrates by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. The surface morphology obtained by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy images (TEM) shows that the Ge islands are preferentially grown at the sidewalls of…

With the recent important development of microfluidic systems, miniaturization of flow devices has become a real challenge. Microchannels, however, are characterized by a large surface to volume ratio, so that surface properties strongly affect flow resistance in submicrometric devices. We present here results showing…

The role of elastic interactions between Jahn-Teller ions in formation of various orbital- and charge-ordered structures in manganites and related compounds is analyzed. It is shown that such interactions alone are often sufficient to reproduce the structures observed in different regions of the phase diagram. Special…

The optical absorption spectra of \ensuremath{\pi} electrons are calculated for graphite and carbon nanotubes. Particular attention is paid to the processes contributing to the optical absorption as a function of the electron wave vector k and light polarization direction. The optical absorption amplitude around the K…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes coated with crystalline tin oxide by a simple chemical-solution route are reported. The room-temperature chemical treatment results in a nominally complete and uniform coating over the entire outer surface of singular nanotubes, nanotube bundles, and also fullerene-like nanoparticles.

The effects of pH on the formation and microstructure of barium titanate (BaTiO3) prepared by a coprecipitation process have been investigated. After calcination of the precipitates at 800°C, pure BaTiO3 was formed in samples prepared from oxalic solutions with pH in the range 5-7, and the powders obtained exhibited s…

The surface chemical behavior of clean uranium metal in a hydrogen atmosphere at 80°C and 120°C has been studied using XPS and thermodynamic calculation. The main product is uranium oxide rather than hydride uranium on the uranium surface after the exposure of uranium to extremely pure hydrogen, and the U4f 7/2 bindin…

Abstract Models for the crystal structure of cis ‐1,4‐poly(2,3‐dimethyl‐1,3‐butadiene) are elucidated by the joint use of molecular mechanics and WAXS. The chain conformation can be predicted by using different sets of potential functions. A model of crystal structure calculated by molecular mechanics has been refined…
