The glass transition temperature ( T g ) and viscosity of aqueous trehalose and its mixtures with either NaCl or Na 2 B 4 O 7 (borax) have been measured over a wide range of concentration. Borax and sodium chloride increase the viscosity and T g ‘ of aqueous trehalose. Although the presence of ionic charges may partly…

Using the molecular-kinetic theory of wetting, we analyze the dynamic contact angle of a sessile drop of squalane spreading spontaneously on Langmuir−Blodgett multilayer substrates (behenic acid on glass). This allows the effect of microscale roughness on the parameters appearing in the theory to be determined. In par…

We study the effect of crystal symmetry and step-edge diffusion on the surface current governing the evolution of a growing crystal surface. We find there are two possible contributions to anisotropic currents, which both lead to the destabilization of the flat surface: terrace current (j_t), which is parallel to the…

The adsorption properties of mesoporous materials belonging to the MCM-41 family can be advantageously coupled to a selected electron-transfer reaction after their incorporation into a conductive composite matrix. This has been demonstrated via the voltammetric monitoring of the selective mercury(II) binding to pure s…

Oligo(ethylene oxide)-substituted polythiophenes mixed with a salt simultaneously act as a light-emitting layer and solid-state electrolyte in light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). Under an applied bias, p-doping of the electroluminescent polymer takes place at the anode. At the opposite electrode the cathode m…

A phase diagram of hexamethylbenzene−succinonitrile system, determined by the thaw−melt method, shows the formation of a eutectic and a monotectic with large miscibility gap in the system. The eutectic and the monotectic contain 0.150 and 0.996 mol fraction of succinonitrile, respectively, and the consolute temperatur…

The ceramics of new solid solutions of Ag 1- x Na x NbO 3 (ANN) have been sintered for the whole concentration range. Low frequency dielectric investigations (120-800 K) and DTA investigations (290-600 K) revealed a series of phase transitions. Two predominant aspects of the Na substitution have been found. The first…
