The curing and mechanical properties of nitrile (NBR) and natural rubber (NR) blends were carried out. Two series of blends were prepared, i.e., NBR/SMR L and NBR/ENR 50 blends. Blends were prepared using a Brabender at a temperature of 60°C. Results indicate that the scorch time, t 2 and cure time, t 90 increase with…

We examined the effects of osmolytes, sucrose and trehalose, on the deterioration of hen lysozyme as a model protein. Sucrose and trehalose depressed the aggregation of lysozyme molecules caused by heating at 100 degrees C at pH 6. Since lysozyme was fully denatured under these conditions, the effects of sucrose and t…

A multiple grafting technique was used to synthesize arborescent-branched high-molecular mass poly(2,3-epoxypropan-1-ol). In the first step, linear polyglycidol (M̄n = 10 300) was obtained. Some of the hydroxyl groups were transformed into alcoholate anions in a reaction with potassium tert-butoxide, and the obtained…

Gel‐derived oxycarbide glasses have atomic network structures similar to that of vitreous silica glass but with carbon‐rich regions consisting of CSi 4 tetrahedra and C–Si–O bonds finely dispersed in the glass. Therefore, oxycarbide glasses exhibit the so‐called “anomalous” hardness behavior, similar to silica‐rich gl…

Abstract To modify carbon black surface, the surface grafting of hyperbranched poly(amidoamine) onto the surface by using dendrimer synthesis methodology was investigated. Carbon black having amino groups (initiator sites) was prepared by the reduction of surface nitro groups introduced by nitration of aromatic rings.…

Ce-doped and undoped LiCaAlF 6, LiSrAlF6, LiYF4, LiLuF4 and KMgF3 single crystals were grown by the Czochralski technique under CF4 atmosphere. The effective distribution coefficients of Ce3+in LiCaAlF6, LiSrAlF6, LiYF4 and LiLuF4 were determined to be 0.031, 0.028, 0.116 and 0.054, respectively. Laser output energy o…

Defective perovskites contained in the general formula La(Sr)Cr(Ru,Mn)O 3–δ are successfully synthesized by spray pyrolysis. Powders of high phase purity are obtained after annealing, and they are used to prepare homogeneous films by spray printing. From a catalytic point of view for the methane steam reforming, these…

We have demonstrated that a quaternary Ge–Sn–Sb–Te phase-change recording material obtained by adding Sn to Ge–Sb–Te has a higher crystallization speed than Ge–Sb–Te, and gives a larger erase ratio than Ge–Sb–Te when film thickness is decreased. Static evaluations have shown that a 6-nm-thick quaternary material was c…

A continuous carbon fiber/silicon carbide matrix composite material has been produced by a low‐cost process. In this process the space in a two‐dimensional carbon fiber preform is filled with a SiC powder by a pressure infiltration method. High particle packing densities are achieved within the fiber preform in this w…
