Abstract Compatibilized blends of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polypropylene (PP) were developed using amine (primary or secondary) functionalized PP's (PP‐g‐NH 2 or PP‐g‐NHR). The strategy of reactive compatibilization is based on fast reactions between amine functional groups and urethane linkages or traces…

An analytical expression is derived for the tilt introduced into a wave front by a Dove prism with manufacturing errors in the prism's base angles and pyramidal angle. We found that the tilt decreases when the base angles are increased above the values of traditional design. The increase in the length-aperture ratio o…

Summary In oil and gas production operations, precipitation of mineral scales causes many problems, such as formation damage, production losses, increased workovers in both producers and injectors, poor injection-water quality, and equipment failures caused by underdeposit corrosion. The most common mineral scales are…

Aeromonas caviae R-specific enoyl-coenzyme A (enoyl-CoA) hydratase (PhaJ(Ac)) is capable of providing (R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA with a chain length of four to six carbon atoms from the fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis. In this study, amino acid substitutions were introduced into P…

Fatigue behavior of four ceramic‐matrix composites (CMCs) was documented at 1000°C, and a fifth composite was documented at 1200°C. Additional fatigue specimens were cycled for set blocks of cycles, removed from the fatigue machine, and exposed in a cyclic corrosion tester for 24 h with a fog of deionized water and a…

Summary Frost damage to potatoes, grapevine and citrus plants was assessed following treatment with either an acrylic polymer (Antistress™) or with a hydrophobic particle film (CM‐96–018). In large freezing tests, the application of the hydrophobic particle film consistently led to less damage whilst the acrylic polym…

We investigated the local density of states (LDOS) of extended individual metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes using low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We observed that the LDOS oscillates with energy close to the Fermi level. The oscillation period of about 50 meV varies with position on the nanotube…
