Abstract The application of carbon-silica dual phase fillers (CSDPF) to natural rubber compound was investigated. It was found that these new fillers give significantly better overall performances in comparison with the conventional fillers—carbon black and silica. In a typical truck-tread compound, due to its high po…

Optical properties of Yb3+–Tb3+ codoped silica sol-gel samples have been studied after the gel to glass transition. Different upconversion emissions have been observed under near infrared excitation at about 1 μm. The Tb3+ ions are excited by means of energy transfer processes from Yb3+ ions. The temporal evolution of…

The luminescence lifetimes of An(III) and Ln(III) ions [An=Am and Cm; Ln=Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb and Dy] were measured in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF), methanol(MeOH), water and their perdeuterated solvents. Nonradiative decay rates of the ions were in the order of H 2 O > MeOH > DMF > DMSO, in…

The structural and electrical characteristics of a thermally grown gallium oxide on GaN films were investigated. A furnace oxidation at 850 °C for 12 h resulted in the formation of monoclinic β-Ga2O3, 88 nm in thickness. From the I–V measurements of the metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) structure, the breakdown field st…

We report the first experimental results on the temperature dependent in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities of a symmetrically strained Si/Ge superlattice and a Ge quantum-dot superlattice measured by the two-wire 3 omega method. The measured thermal conductivity values are highly anisotropic and are signifi…

To resolve relationships between members of the family Thermomonosporaceae, phylogenetic analyses using three sets of nucleotide sequences from 16S rDNA, 23S rDNA and the 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) were carried out. Nearly all species of the family were included in this study. On the basis of congruous…

Photoinduced effects on the charge- and orbital-ordered (CO/OO) states in a layered perovskite manganite ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1.5}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{4}$ have been investigated with femtosecond polarization-sensitive pump-probe spectroscopy. Disappearance of the optical birefringence as well as conspicuous c…

Polarized photoluminescence in orientated thin films of π-conjugated oligomers is demonstrated here. Vapor-deposited thiophene/p-phenylene co-oligomers are described and it is shown that these molecules form epitaxial needle-like crystals (see Figure). Molecular modification of the co-oligomers enables the emission co…

A comprehensive model has been developed for simulating the rates of general corrosion of selected metals in aqueous solutions. The model consists of a thermophysical and an electrochemical module. The thermophysical module is used to calculate the speciation of aqueous solutions and to obtain concentrations, activiti…

Crystallization and oxidation are usually considered as a consequence of cooling and emplacement of a magma, whereas little is known about crystallization upon reheating. However, the common eruption of basalt on the Earth and other rocky planetary bodies results in reheating at the interface. To explore the range of…

Fimbriae or pili are long, filamentous, multimeric macromolecules found on the bacterial cell surface. Bacteria express a diverse array of fimbriae or pili that are involved in bacterial adherence and invasion. Fimbriae can be categorized based on their modes of expression and assembly. Type I fimbriae and P pili are…

Chemical reactivity descriptors are computed by the use of three alternative approaches derived within the framework of density functional theory. These schemes consider the computation of orbital Fukui indices, where all valence orbitals are taken into account; the Fukui indices of each atom in the molecule from the…

Abstract Accelerated aging experiments were carried out on a natural rubber vulcanizate exposed to air and to seawater. Failure strain, shown to correlate well with the fatigue lifetime, was used to monitor the extent of degradation. The effect of temperature on the rate of aging followed an Arrhenius law, with activa…
