For the first time the flexible cyclopentyl ring is used to build mesogenic units, and thus a novel mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymer (MJLCP) poly(dicyclopentyl vinylterephthalate) is synthesized. The polymer forms a stable mesophase which changes to an isotropic phase at 267°C. The formation of a stable mes…

Characterization of microstructures with features from submicrometers to hundreds of micrometers requires versatile methods. Profilometry and optical microscopy cannot cope with submicrometer features, and atomic-force microscopy, scanning-electron microscopy, and near-field microscopy are inherently slow, off-line me…

In a single crystal of LiCoPO4 Raman scattering has been studied in a wide temperature range. Thirty-two of the 36 Raman-active vibrational modes predicted by group-theory analysis were detected. The experimental lines are identified on the basis of their polarization rules, frequency position, and temperature behavio…

Photoinduced nonlinear optical phenomena in Sb2Te3–CaCl2–PbCl2 glasses have been studied by experimental and theoretical quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics methods. Additionally, photoinduced two-photon absorption (TPA) and second-harmonic generation (SHG) were measured in the IR region from 5.8 to 18 µm. A CO l…

The aim of this study is to investigate the water (moisture vapor and liquid) transfer properties of two‐layer weft knitted fabric and some related factors. Some experimental fabrics with specific yarns and stitch densities were prepared. Water vapor permeability rate through the fabrics and liquid water transfer from…

Hydrothermal recycling is conversion of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) at high temperatures in a steam atmosphere into hydrogen chloride, a mixture of hydrocarbons and syngas. Hydrochloric acid can be recovered and the mixture of hydrocarbons and syngas can be used for energy recovery. A bench-scale bubbling fluidized bed…

The generation of high pretilt angles in nematic liquid crystal (LC), 4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB), on the rubbed surface of polyimide (PI) containing trifluoromethyl moieties, was investigated. High pretilt angles of 5CB are strongly related to the low surface energy caused more by the existence of trifluoromethy…

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the transition temperature ranges (TTR) of four types of super-elastic orthodontic nickel-titanium coil springs (Sentalloy). A knowledge of the TTR provides information on the temperature at which a NiTi wire or spring can assume superelastic properties and…
