Raman spectroscopy was used to study strain-induced molecular stress in cold-drawn polyethylenes, which were being used as a model system for fibrils present in the crazes formed during environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) tests. The molecular stress was measured at 240 K in order to minimize relaxation phenom…

This paper reports the near-infrared (NIR) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection of immune reaction on gold colloid particles without bound/free (B/F) antigen separation. A SERS spectrum was measured for anti-mouse IgG at 2.2×10-8 M adsorbed on gold colloid particles. The spectrum showed a number of Raman…

The various irreversible and reversible photoinduced phenomena in chalcogenide glasses, among them isotropic and anisotropic effects, were considered until now to have different origins. Upon reexamination, we find that the elemental photostructural steps are the same for all these phenomena. These are nonradiative re…

Abstract Novel guest-host liquid crystal systems containing 3,3-disubstituted azobenzenes as guests were prepared on the basis of molecular design by molecular calculations to achieve the improvement of compatibility of the chromophore with nematic phases. No phase change of nematic liquid crystals was induced by the…

71 Ga and 69 Ga single-crystal NMR spectra of a β-Ga 2 O 3 twin have been analyzed in terms of the 71 Ga/ 69 Ga quadrupole coupling and chemical shielding anisotropy (CSA) interactions. Analyses of the magnitudes and orientations of the interaction tensors for the two distinct crystallographic gallium sites in the two…

Type VIII collagen is a short chain collagen. Two chains have been described, alpha1(VIII) and alpha2(VIII), but the chain composition of type VIII collagen is far from resolved. To address this question, we have expressed full-length alpha1(VIII) and alpha2(VIII) chains in an in vitro translation system supplemented…

We have performed electron energy-loss spectroscopy analysis of polystyrene in the analytical transmission electron microscope in order to evaluate the possibility of obtaining both chemical and dielectric information on the polymer at the submicrometre scale. Irradiation has also been studied, particularly the influe…

The electrical conductivity of silicone rubber vulcanizates containing carbon blacks [e.g., acetylene black, lamp black, and ISAF (N-234) black] were investigated. The change in electrical conductivity with varying amounts of carbon blacks and the temperature dependence was measured. The mechanical properties like ten…

Discontinuous molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the structure and relaxation of large, off-lattice, near-perfect, tri- and tetrafunctional polymer networks at a packing fraction of 0.43. The networks are constructed by end-linking freely jointed, tangent hard-sphere chains ranging in length from N = 20…

A new route for the synthesis of conducting polypyrrole–silica composites is described. Silica gel particles were modified by aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and acted as porous inorganic substrates for the in situ synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy). The resulting polypyrrole–silica–APS hybrid materials were characterize…
