Parametrization of a force field capable of quantitatively describing the gas, liquid and crystal phases of alcohols, ethers and polyethers is described. Two applications are reported, the first employing atomistic simulations to study PVT (pressure, volume, temperature) and cohesive properties of oligomeric poly(ethy…
The use of chemical solution deposition for the fabrication of perovskite thin films is reviewed. A variety of approaches including sol−gel, chelate, and metalloorganic decomposition have all been employed with success in the preparation of these materials. For a number of perovskite compounds, thin-film properties th…
The growth of p-type ZnO film was realized for the first time by the simultaneous addition of NH 3 in carrier hydrogen and excess Zn in source ZnO powder. The resistivity was typically 100 Ω·cm. A model showing nitrogen incorporation suggests the possibility of realizing p-type ZnO film of low resistivity by optimizin…
We have used Brillouin light scattering and ellipsometry to measure the glass transition temperature ${T}_{g}$ of thin polystyrene (PS) films as a function of the film thickness $h$ for two different molecular weights ${M}_{w}.$ Three different film geometries were studied: freely standing films, films supported on a…
The complete 1,751,377-bp sequence of the genome of the thermophilic archaeon Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum deltaH has been determined by a whole-genome shotgun sequencing approach. A total of 1,855 open reading frames (ORFs) have been identified that appear to encode polypeptides, 844 (46%) of which have been…
MCM-41 siliceous molecular sieves were used to test the applicability of the Kelvin equation for nitrogen adsorption in cylindrical pores of the size from 2 to 6.5 nm. It was shown that the Kelvin equation for the hemispherical meniscus, corrected for the statistical film thickness, is in quite good agreement with an…
We report a synthesis of highly luminescent (CdSe)ZnS composite quantum dots with CdSe cores ranging in diameter from 23 to 55 Å. The narrow photoluminescence (fwhm ≤ 40 nm) from these composite dots spans most of the visible spectrum from blue through red with quantum yields of 30−50% at room temperature. We characte…
The synthesis of side-chain-functionalized polyaspartamides as potential carrier polymers for medicinal agents is described. The nucleophilic ring opening in poly-D,L-succinimide, mediated by O,O′-bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylene oxide) (nominal molecular mass is 600) and ethanolamine under carefully controlled experim…
Spatially associated red (Typic Hapludalf) and black (Vertic Eutropept) soils developed on the Deccan plateau in the Western Ghats of India were analysed for clay mineralogy and also physical properties relating to shrink–swell. This was done in order to examine a possible correlation between shrink–swell phenomena an…
The mechanical properties, melt rheology, and morphology of binary blends comprised of two polypropylene (PP) grades and two liquid crystalline polymers (LCP) have been studied. Compatibilization with polypropylene grafted with maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH) has been attempted. A moderate increase in the tensile moduli a…
Oil palm fiber is an important lignocellulosic raw material for the preparation of cost-effective and environment-friendly composite materials. The morphology and properties of these fibers have been analyzed. The properties of two important types of fibers, the oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber and the oil palm mesoca…
Chitosan films were grafted with N,N ′-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate using the 60Co gamma irradiation method. The effect of solvent composition, monomer concentration, dose rate, and total dose on grafting was studied. The solvent composition has a marked effect on the degree of grafting. Maximum yield was obtained i…
The dependency of the density of poly(ϵ-caprolactone)-polycarbonate (PCL-PC) blends on composition has been studied. PCL/PC blends are typical of miscible blends containing crystallizable components, and miscibility is therefore considered with respect to the amorphous phase. In literature, a single glass transition t…
Acrylic acid (AA) was grafted to cellulose by using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) initiator in aqueous nitric acid solution at 30, 50, 70, and 90°C during reaction periods of 30 to 180 minutes. About 45% of the AA was polymerized at 90°C after 180 minutes. The grafted polymer and homopolymer were isolated by acetone fr…
Oil palm fiber is an important lignocellulosic raw material for the preparation of cost-effective and environment-friendly composite materials. The morphology and properties of these fibers have been analyzed. The properties of two important types of fibers, the oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber and the oil palm mesoca…
The lyotropic liquid crystalline phases of surfactants exhibit a rich polymorphism of structures that have long-range periodicities and whose characteristic repeat distances range from 2 to 15 nanometers. The electrochemical reduction of platinum salts confined to the aqueous environments of these phases leads to the…
Three viscoplastic approaches are examined in this paper.First, the overstress viscoplastic models (i.e. the Perzyna model and the Duvaut-Lions model) are outlined.Next, a consistency viscoplastic approach is presented.In the consistency model a rate-dependent yield surface is employed while the standard Kuhn-Tucker c…

A highly conjugated dimer of nickel(II) octaethylporphyrin linked by a butadiyne bridge on a meso position has been used for the deposition of Langmuir−Blodgett (LB) films in mixture with arachidic acid. Similar porphyrin derivatives have never been used before as the active layer in gas sensors. Linearly polarized li…
This study examines a central tenet of the “membrane−micelle” model of humic substances that humic molecules form “micelle-like” aggregates with hydrophobic interiors into which nonpolar organic compounds partition. We solubilized atrazine, labeled by a trifluoromethyl group on the ethylamino side chain, in aqueous so…
