Nanocomposites of high density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and highly branched polyethylene rubbers were prepared both by means of melt compounding and ethene homo- and copolymerization in the presence of layered silicates which were rendered organophilic via ion exchange with various…
Single crystals of Ba(ZrxTi1−x)O3 were grown by templated grain growth (TGG). Millimeter size single crystals of Ba(ZrxTi1−x)O3 were produced by heating a BaTiO3 crystal in contact with a sintered polycrystalline matrix of 4.5, 5.0, or 8.5 mol % Zr-doped barium titanate for 30 h at 1350 °C. To facilitate boundary migr…
The preparation of novel biotechnological materials from chitin and chitosan, and their properties are described. Their current applications and future prospects are discussed. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
Recombinant non-hydroxylated gelatins based on mouse type I and rat type III collagen sequences were secreted from the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-mating factor prepro signal. Proteolytic degradation could be minimized to a large extent by performing fermentations at…
Divalent manganese, magnesium, and zinc fill unique roles in biological systems, despite many apparently similar chemical properties. A comparison of the liganding properties of divalent manganese, magnesium, and zinc has been made on the basis of data on crystal structures (from the Cambridge Structural Database and…
Using a criterion given by Banerjee [Phys. Lett. 12, 16 (1964)] to distinguish first-order magnetic transitions from second-order ones, we demonstrate that not all the title perovskites exhibit a first-order transition at their Curie temperatures ${T}_{C}.$ We observe that, although ${\mathrm{La}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{…
Impedance spectra obtained on high‐performance Ni/yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) cermet anodes at 1000°C in gas mixtures are considered. An impedance arc with a characteristic frequency of about 10 to 100 Hz is related to finite diffusion limitation by considering the dependence on water partial pressure, apparent t…
We have investigated the magnetic and structural phase diagram of iron employing the full potential linear augmented plane-wave method within the generalized gradient approximation. Therefore, total-energy calculations have been performed together with investigations with varying $c/a$ ratio to check the phase stabili…
Two ambient-temperature molecule-based magnets (Curie temperatures Tc of ∼350 K and 372 K) are presented, which are the result of research to identify factors in synthesis that control the magnetic properties of compounds. The goal is to increase Tc. The magnetic properties of the two hexacyanochromate magnets are des…
We present the results of a large scale molecular dynamics computer simulation in which we investigated the static and dynamic properties of a silica melt in the temperature range in which the viscosity of the system changes from ${O(10}^{\ensuremath{-}2})$ P to ${O(10}^{2})$ P. We show that even at temperatures as hi…
The dependence of the morphology of macropores in p‐type silicon electrodes on formation parameters such as substrate doping density, electrolyte composition, and applied current density is investigated. The results are compared with the well‐understood case of electrochemical macropore formation on n‐type silicon ele…
Organic electroluminescent devices that emit polarized light will be useful as backlights in conventional liquid-crystal displays. The necessary high polarization ratios require, in turn, highly aligned emitters. The various methods of orientation are discussed, together with the materials to which they are applicable…
The preparation of micrometer to nanometer-sized building blocks that can be selectively derivatized is reported here. Segmented multi-metal rods of controllable length (see Cover) were fabricated by electroplating in porous template membranes. Additionally it is shown how the surface chemistry of different parts with…
Photovoltaic devices remain an important aim for thin films of conjugated polymers. Here is reported the construction of devices with improved photovoltaic performance, which is achieved by blending elongated CdSe nanocrystals (see Figure) with regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene). Improved transport arising from dense…
Corrosion of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys is an authoritative reference on aluminum corrosion processes and prevention techniques. It covers basic forms of corrosion including pitting and crevice corrosion, intergranular and exfoliation corrosion, galvanic and stray-current corrosion, cavitation and fretting corrosion…
The isothermal tetragonal‐to‐monoclinic transformation of a 3Y‐TZP ceramic is investigated from 70° to 130°C in water and in steam by X‐ray diffraction and optical interferometer techniques. Aging kinetics followed by X‐ray diffraction are fitted by the Mehl‐Avrami‐Johnson law, suggesting nucleation and growth to be t…
The crystallographic problem: A Windows-95-based program (PowderX) has been written for powder X-ray data processing and analysis. It can be used for plotting X-ray patterns, data smoothing, background subtraction, 2 elimination, peak search, indexing and zero-angle error correction. PowderX can also be used for data…
▪ Abstract The synthesis of nanocrystalline diamond films from carbon-containing noble gas plasmas is described. The nanocrystallinity is the result of new growth and nucleation mechanisms, which involve the insertion of C 2 , carbon dimer, into carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds, resulting in hetereogeneous nucl…
▪ Abstract Recently there has been a resurgence of research efforts related to the investigation of new and novel materials for small-scale thermoelectric refrigeration and power generation applications. These materials need to couple and optimize a variety of properties in order to exhibit the necessary figure of mer…
Metal oxide interfaces, metal coatings or dispersed metals on oxide supports play an important part in many technological areas. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of fundamental knowledge about the essential properties of thin metal films and small metal particles on oxide supports, although a deeper understanding c…
