Abstract We examine the graphite plasmon loss structure in reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) and XPS with respect to the issue of measuring the energy, E p , of the π + σ plasmon peak. The two spectra differ in shape because they are based on different physical processes. In fact, a static core hole…

This paper presents and compares two different uniaxial constitutive models for superelastic shape-memory alloys (SMAs), suitable to study the dependence of the stress-strain relationship on the loading-unloading rate. The first model is based on the inclusion of a direct viscous term in the evolutionary equation for…

This study investigates the structures of layers of amphiphilic diblock copolymers of poly(t-butyl styrene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PtBS-PSS) adsorbed on both the bare mica surface (hydrophilic) and an octadecyltriethoxysilane (OTE)-modified mica surface (hydrophobic). When the surface is rendered hydrophobic, the no…

Abstract Angle‐resolved X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) is widely accepted as a useful tool for nondestructive in‐depth analysis of near surface regions. In the present paper, it is shown for a variety of applications which kind of qualitative and quantitative information can be derived from ARXPS measurement…

Abstract Both polyamide 12 (PA 12)/clay and polyamide 6–polyamide 66 copolymer (PA 6/6,6)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation. The incorporation of 4–5 wt % modified clay largely increased the strength, modulus, heat distortion temperature (HDT), and permeation resistance to methanol of the polyami…

Abstract Poly(methyl methacrylate), polystyrene, and polyglycidol brushes (PMMA, PS and PGL, respectively) were grown on glassy carbon (GC) plates that were modified by the electrochemical reduction of the diazonium salt BF 4 − , + N 2 C 6 H 4 CH(CH 3 )Br. The grafted C 6 H 4 CH(CH 3 )Br species were effective i…

The dynamic response of an acoustically driven spherical bubble between parallel plates is investigated in the linear approximation. For the case of rigid plates, explicit expressions are provided for the resonance frequency and damping, and the importance of including compressibility of the liquid is discussed. For w…

Pyrophosphate is the main form of condensed P in the fluid fertilizer ammonium polyphosphate (APP). When APP is applied to soil, pyrophosphate is hydrolyzed to orthophosphate. Hydrolysis of pyrophosphate was investigated in a highly calcareous soil over 3 wk. Changes in P speciation were measured using solid‐state 31…
