SUMMARYVoltammetry and EIS were used to study the adsorption behaviour of laprol 2402 C (the copolymer of ethene and propene oxides) on a Sn electrode in strongly acid Sn(II) sulphate solutions. At least two states of adsorption layers were found to exist depending on cathodic polarisation. Adsorption of laprol, obser…
Carbon single-wall nanotubes (SWNTs) and other nanostructured carbon materials have attracted considerable interest recently due to several reports of high hydrogen storage capacities at room temperatures. Other reports indicate room temperature storage capacities are ~ 0 wt%. All in all, the reported capacities on th…
An improvement in ferroelectric device technology has become possible through optimization of the properties of the ferroelectric materials used to make the devices. The improvements discussed herein impact true time delay line and phase shifter performance by enhancing control over dielectric constant and extending t…
A new polythiogallate, CsGaS3, has been synthesized using molten flux of caesium polysulfide, and structurally characterized, by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, as possessing one-dimensional GaS3− chains, built from GaS4 tetrahedra. Cs+ ions undergo facile ion-exchange, at room temperature, with Rb+, NH4+…
A three-dimensional (3D) model has been developed for simulation of the physical properties of an electrically driven shape memory alloy (SMA) microactuator used for control of a microvalve. The mechanical behavior is decribed by a two phase macromodel taking into account material and geometrical nonlinearity. The sim…
We report here the investigations on the corrosion of Zircaloy-4 cladding in out-of-pile and in-pile loops. Tests were conducted on the cladding in the fresh, preoxidized, and preirradiated conditions. The exposures were in low and high lithium coolant, with and without boron, and under single-phase and two-phase heat…
A novel nanomaterial, an array of zinc oxide (ZnO) and polyaniline (PANI) coaxial nanowires, was synthesized using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as the template. The morphology of these coaxial nanowires was observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM). The experiments on photoluminescence (PL) of co…
Tyrosine-based pseudo-peptide polymers, first introduced in 1987 by Kohn and Langer, have been identified for potential biomaterial applications. These materials combine the desired polypeptide properties of biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and non-immunogenicity with good processing properties includ…
Numerous thermal vacancies are frozen into FeAl B2-ordered alloy ribbons by a conventional rapid-solidification technique. Through heat treatment at 723 K, clustering of the supersaturated vacancies generates a large number of nanopores, particulary near surfaces, thus creating nanoporous surfaces. The nanoporous surf…
Chemical regulation of secondary-metabolite synthesis was investigated through the improvement of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) production in transgenic tobacco plants by the use of enzyme inhibitors. Two tobacco lines, BC3 and rCAB8, that produce PHB in both the cytosol and plastids were used. An acetyl-CoA carboxylas…
The time dependence of the formation and decay of irradiation-induced optical absorption centers in magnesium aluminate spinel single crystals of different compositions (MgO - 1.0Al 2 O 3 and MgO - 2.5Al 2 O 3 ) was investigated. The kinetics of accumulation of X-ray irradiation-induced absorption bands is consistent…
This paper reports on the first use of an in situ electrochemical strain gage method for the monitoring of the mechanical properties of conducting and redox electroactive polymers as they are switched between their neutral and oxidatively doped forms. Electrodeposition of three conducting polymers, specifically polypy…
Boron-doped diamond film on a quartz crystal electrode was prepared by a reflow technique. The mass sensitivity of this diamond-quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor was determined by performing electrodeposition. This novel electrochemical QCM sensor was quite stable under several electrochemical experimental cond…
ABSTRACT The viscoelastic behavior of bread crumb was studied using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) in the compression mode with the frequency sweep. The dynamic storage modulus (E′), loss modulus (E″), and tanδ (E″/E′) were measured for bread crumb aged up to three days at ambient temperature. The viscoelastic prop…
High efficiency Hybrid Systems (HS) based on the coupling of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) and Gas Turbines (GT) are analysed in this paper through the use of two different approaches: simplified and detailed SOFC models. The simplified model, already presented by the Authors1, is very useful for HS design and off-de…
Abstract In the spring of 1997, seven companies and industry associations from the USA and Canada decided to sponsor the cone calorimeter interlaboratory test programme. Reproducibility and repeatability were determined for the scalar variables measured in the cone calorimeter (ASTM E1354) according to the protocol de…
The number of publications and scientific meetings in the field of ferroelectricity has been increasing exponentially in the last 30 years. In addition to the classical fields of phase transitions and critical phenomena four new sub fields have emerged: a) ferroelectric liquid crystals, b) thin films and integrated fe…
The substitution reactions of the coordinated acetonitrile molecule in [Ni(L)(MeCN)][BF4]2 (1) {L = 2,5,8-trithia[9],(2,9)-1,10-phenanthrolinophane} with three potentially bidentate ligands L′ (L′ = N3−, 4,4′-bipyridine and F−) have been studied both in solution and in the solid state with the aim of verifying the pot…
The electronic structure of different phosphorus carbide solid phases with stoichiometry P4C3 is studied using first-principles density-functional calculations; the lowest energy phase is cubic defect zinc-blende with graphitic phases much higher in energy.
Dimerization of free acid and ester forms of disulfonated deuteroporphyrin is investigated in aqueous solution by absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopies. The dimerization equilibrium constant increases with the extent of esterification. In phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.4, 20 degrees C), it ranges from 1.4 x 10(6)…
