Dense, uniform, mullite coatings have been deposited by chemical vapor deposition on SiC substrates, using a AlCl3-SiCl4-CO2-H2 system. The typical coating microstructure consisted of a thin layer of nanocrystallites of γ-Al2O3 in vitreous silica at the coating-substrate interface, with columnar mullite grains over th…

Some previously synthesized (perfluoroalkyl)alkyldimorpholinophosphates, CnF2n+1CmH2mOP(O)- [N(CH2CH2)2O]2, were found remarkably to stabilize heat sterilizable water-in-fluorocarbon reverse emulsions and to have a strong proclivity to self-aggregate into microtubular assemblies when dispersed in water. This series ha…

Aluminosilicate mesoporous molecular sieves (Al-MMS) prepared at room temperature using hexadecylamine as template have been subjected to template extraction prior to calcination. Extraction in ethanol alone removes only that part of the template (in neutral form) which is not associated with framework Al while the pr…

This paper reports a molten salt electrolytic method for the economical production of carbon nanotubes/particles. The method converts a normal graphite cathode in a bath of molten LiCl, NaCl or KCl into carbon nanotubes and other nano-particles. The cathode erosion observed after electrolysis, together with cyclic vol…

The gastrolith of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii contains a small amount of an organic matrix that is mainly chitin and proteins, together with a large amount of calcium carbonate. As the first step to understand the mechanism of calcification, we tried to characterize matrix proteins in the gastrolith. An insoluble…
