The tensile properties of polystyrene reinforced with short sisal fiber and benzoylated sisal fiber were studied. The influence of fiber length, fiber content, fiber orientation, and ben-zoylation of the fiber on the tensile properties of the composite were evaluated. The ben-zoylation of the fiber improves the adhesi…

Size exclusion chromatography has long been the method of choice for characterization of polymers and polysaccharides. A chief impediment to this process has been the lack of suitable solvents for the polysaccharides with more intricate secondary valence bond networks, such as cellulose, chitin, and starch. To this ef…

We develop a finite temperature theory for the susceptibility and electrostriction of isotropic substances in which permanent electric dipoles are restrained from free rotation by elastic forces. All parameters are constrained by the measured susceptibility and elastic constants. When applied to polyurethane, the pred…

The central structural feature of natural proteins is a tightly packed and highly ordered hydrophobic core. If some measure of exquisite, native-like core packing is necessary for enzymatic function, this would constitute a significant obstacle to the development of novel enzymes, either by design or by natural or exp…

The fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) homotetramer has been destabilized by site-directed mutagenesis at the two different subunit interfaces. A double mutant aldolase, Q125D/E224A, sediments as two distinct species, characteristic of a slow equilibrium, with velocities expected for the monomer and tetr…

Interface microstructures of BaTiO3/LaAlO3 grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) are studied using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Interface dislocations in BaTiO3/LaAlO3 have been shown to be directly linked up with the 90° domain boundaries in BaTiO3. This association is a…

Coherent precipitates of vanadium dioxide have been formed in the near-surface region of sapphire by the stoichiometric coimplantation of vanadium and oxygen combined with subsequent thermal processing at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000 °C. The embedded VO2 precipitates, which are three-dimensionally oriented wi…

The application of the magneto-circular x-ray absorption dichroism (MCXD) spin sum rule for 3d transition metal compounds faces two problems: the unknown value of the magnetic dipole operator and the division between the and edges. A systematic study of the order of magnitude of the -operator for ions is presented. Th…

A method is described for calculating the motion of N spherical particles suspended in a quiescent second-order fluid. The method requires calculation of only the low-Reynolds-number Newtonian velocity profile. This profile is used in conjunction with what has been called the ‘Reciprocal theorem method’ to evaluate pa…

The flow of two-dimensional deformable drops through branching (bifurcating) tubes is studied numerically using a boundary integral formulation. The undeformed drop diameter is assumed to be less than the tube diameter. Capillary numbers between 10 −2 and 1 are considered. Flow in the branching tube is characterized b…

Thermal behavior of different cellolusic fabrics was investigated in air and nitrogen by TG, DTG and DTA. Kinetic parameters based on weight loss for the initial and major stages of thermal degradation were determined. The weight loss in the TG curve for the cellulosic fabrics can be divided into four stages. In gener…
