An investigation has been made of ceramics of the Al2 O3–MgO–SiO2 system produced as pellets by laser melting of powder mixtures of the component oxides, followed by relatively rapid solidification. The phase constitution and microstructural features have been investigated using X-ray diffraction, microscopy, and diff…

Abstract The effects of the die-wall material on the apparent viscosity of a blend of Hytrel and Viton and on the formation of a particle-like material, which is commonly referred to as die drool, at the polymer-metal interface were studied. The blend, which consisted of approximately 15 % Viton and 85 % Hytrel, was p…

The crystallization of amorphous carbon films, under inert atmospheres, occurs at annealing temperatures above 800 °C. In this work we have found that when the annealing of carbon films is performed under atmospheric conditions, crystallization occurs at temperatures as low as 200 °C. The catalytic effect of oxygen in…

A range of materials with brittle to ductile behavior (single‐crystal and polycrystalline alumina, aluminum/alumina composite, and metallic aluminum) were investigated by acoustic emission (AE) methods for microcracking during hardness indentations or cooling from elevated temperatures (800°C). During indentation, the…

Abstract A Controlled‐atomosphere cone calorimeter was used to investigate the burning of pure and flame retardant‐treated cotton fabrics. The condensed‐phase flame retardants used were Morguard (containing ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and diammonium hydrogen phoisphate) and Nochar (containing ammonium sulfate and a…

An inexpensive, highly conducting polymer‐thermoplastic composite material is reported which is both flexible and possesse a low percolation threshold. The method used to prepare the PANI‐PVC material “see Figure” allows control of the flexibility of the product through the use of commercially available plasticizers m…

The orientational ordering of several liquid crystals containing a difluorosubstituted phenyl ring has been studied through the use of C-13 NMR. The fluorinated phenyl ring of these liquid crystals have Cs symmetry, so three order parameters are required to completely describe the ordering of this ring. All three of t…

It has recently been proposed that spatially discretized versions of the Alien-Cahn and Cahn-Hilliard equations for modelling phase transitions have certain theoretical and phenomenological advantages over their continuous counterparts. This paper deals with one-dimensional discretizations and examines the extent to w…

Polarization reversal switching transients of nylon 11 were measured for samples annealed in various conditions. The relation between the ferroelectric properties and hydrogen bonds between main chains is discussed. Polarization reversal of nylon 11 begins by breaking of the hydrogen bonds and ends by linking of them.…

The diamagnetic susceptibility χ of aligned carbon nanotubes is anisotropic: χ || differs from χ ⊥ . The ratio χ || /χ ⊥ exhibits a singularity at 40 K. Below this temperature χ || differs in samples cooled in magnetic field from those cooled in zero field. This observation suggested interaction of the magnetic moment…

Abstract The relations between the adjoint group and the additive group of a radical ring and its nilpotency are investigated. It is shown that certain finiteness conditions carry over from the adjoint group to the additive group and that the converse holds for the class of minimax groups.
