We summarize briefly our recently published concept for the design of novel, superhard nanocomposite materials. The fairly general validity of this design concept was documented by the preparation of a number of nanocomposites consisting of nanocrystalline transition metal nitrides and amorphous Si3N4 or BN of differe…

In this work, zinc borate is used as synergistic agent in EVA–Mg(OH)2 flame-retardant (FR) formulations. High zinc borate content leads to a significant improvement of flame retardancy during cone calorimeter experiments. Blowing measurements reveal significant modification of the structure due to the presence of zinc…

Some properties of serine acetyltransferases (SATs) from Escherichia coli, deleting 10-25 amino acid residues from the C-terminus (SATdeltaC10-deltaC25) were investigated. The specific activity depended only slightly on the length of the C-terminal region deleted. Although the sensitivity of SATdeltaC10 to inhibition…

Shear-induced droplet breakup and coalescence were investigated by optical microscopy. Model polymer blends comprising 5% poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) dispersed in a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix were studied in situ. Addition of 0.1% or 1.0% of PEO- b -PPO- b -PEO triblock copolymers facilitated breakup and inhibi…

Reaction of indole with Br2 led to isolation of an indole trimer 2, formed by linking the 2- and 3-positions of each indole to form a central aromatic ring, and brominated at the 5- and 6-positions of each indole. The X-ray structure of [2]·acetone·2DMF showed π-stacking of the planar aromatic molecules with two diffe…
