Chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes to terephthalic acid (TPA) and oxalic acid was investigated by simultaneous hydrolysis and oxygen oxidation in concentrated NaOH. PET flakes were hydrolyzed to sodium terephthalate and ethylene glycol (EG) in NaOH solutions before oxygen introduction. Bec…
A new three-dimensional, random grid based cellular automaton model for the simulation of the evolution of a materials microstructure during recrystallization and grain growth is presented. The paper describes how the model can be linked to space and time coordinates and illustrates how theoretical analytical models d…
In iodine-bridged binuclear Pt compounds, ${R}_{4}[{\mathrm{P}\mathrm{t}}_{2}(\mathrm{p}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{p}{)}_{4}\mathrm{I}]n{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ and ${R}_{2}^{\ensuremath{'}}[{\mathrm{P}\mathrm{t}}_{2}(\mathrm{p}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{p}{)}_{4}\mathrm{I}]n{\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ ($\mathrm{p}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{…
Cr 2 O 3 nanoparticles of controlled particle size were prepared by calcination of a precursor, Cr(OH) 3 , obtained by precipitation with sodium hydroxide. Samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. Average particle sizes ranged from 20 to 200 nm. The magnetic properties of C…
The first example of ammoximation of bulky ketones over highly hydrophobic titanium incorporated ethane bridged hybrid mesoporous silsesquioxane with high selectivity of oximes is presented.
Recently, a new class of smectic liquid crystal phases characterized by the spontaneous formation of macroscopic chiral domains from achiral bent-core molecules has been discovered. We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations of a minimal hard spherocylinder dimer model to investigate the role of excluded volume inter…
Sandwich-type polyoxometalates (POMs), namely [WZnM2(ZnW9O34)2]q- [M = Mn(II), Ru(III), Fe(III), Pd(II), Pt(II), Zn(II); q = 10-12], are shown to catalyze selectively the epoxidation of chiral allylic alcohols with 30% hydrogen peroxide under mild conditions (ca. 20 degrees C) in an aqueous/organic biphasic system. Th…
Nano-phase transition of an organic−inorganic nanocomposite under vapor infiltration of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) or tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) was found in mesoporous thin film preparation. The rearrangement into a hexagonal periodic structure implies high mobility of the surfactant−silicate composites in solid phase.…
Spraying cerium and zirconium precursors dissolved in carboxylic acids into a methane-oxygen flame resulted in well-structured nanocrystals of ceria-zirconia mixed oxides with high temperature stability and surface area.

We present a comprehensive study of the coupled tetrahedra-compound Cu2Te2O5Br2 by theory and experiments in external magnetic fields. We report the observation of a longitudinal magnon in Raman scattering in the ordered state close to quantum criticality. We show that the excited tetrahedral-singlet sets the energy s…
In recent photodoping experiments Decca et al. [PRL 85, 3708 (2000)] have observed an unusually long-ranged proximity effect between the superconducting and insulating phases of YBCO. Here we critically examine the claim in that reference that such long range is anomalous. We show that, once the novel nature of the ex…
We report thermal expansion measurements carried out on a single-crystal of the giant magnetocaloric effect material Gd5(Si0.43Ge0.57)4. At the magneto-structural phase transition at T_0 ~ 240 K, large steps in the relative length change DELTAL/L along the principle crystallographic axes are observed. The single-step…
A circular twist disclination is a nontrivial example of a defect in an elastic continuum that causes large deformations. The minimal potential energy and the corresponding displacement field is calculated by solving the Euler-Lagrange-equations. The nonlinear incompressibility constraint is rigorously taken into acco…
The recent empirical correlation for the surface tension is further investigated for universality. C5-C8 liquid hydrocarbons, for which accurate surface tension data over the complete liquid range are available, are used. Functional reduced surface entropy is derived, which is in the general form of Trouton's rule. It…
Electric Scanning Probe Microscopies are used to characterize the surface behavior of ferroelectric materials. The effects of local charge density on the chemistry and physics of ferroelectric surfaces are investigated. The kinetics and thermodynamics parameters of adsorption are assessed by variable temperature Scann…
Uniaxially aligned, thin films of a discotic columnar thermotropic liquid crystalline material can be prepared by a simple solution zone-casting method, without the need for modified surfaces or traditional alignment techniques. Atomic force microscopy together with X-ray diffraction reveals single-crystalline-like or…
The crystal structures of the [A(1)(2)][A(2)(3)](BO(4))(3)X apatites and the related compounds [A(1)(2)][A(2)(3)](BO(5))(3)X and [A(1)(2)][A(2)(3)](BO(3))(3)X are collated and reviewed. The structural aristotype for this family is Mn(5)Si(3) (D8(8) type, P6(3)/mcm symmetry), whose cation array approximates that of all…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with the N -alkylidene amino groups covalently attached to their side walls have been prepared starting from colloidal solutions of fluorinated SWNTs (fluoronanotubes) in terminal alkylidene diamines followed by heating at 70−170 °C. On the basis of data from thermal gravimetric…
Abstract Waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) [PET] and a polyolefinic elastomer (POE), Engage™ 8150, were melt blended in a co‐rotating twin screw extruder having initial distributive mixing followed by high shearing/stretching. Compositions having POE up to 10% with and without poly(ethylene‐ co ‐acrylic acid), as a c…
