In this paper, we analyze the light transmission from a twisted nematic liquid crystal (NLC) and we propose two accurate and very direct optical methods to measure the azimuthal anchoring energy. In both of them, a monochromatic beam of wavelength lambda with a polarization vector that rotates at an angular frequency…
Abstract Epoxy–clay nanocomposites were synthesized using two organoclays cured with different chemicals at different temperatures. Interlayer distance of the clay layers and curing process were investigated by X‐ray diffraction and infrared spectra. The clay treated with facilitated curing agent, 2,4,6‐tris[(dimethyl…
This paper reports the characterization of a photosensitive benzocyclobutene (BCB), a low dielectric constant spin‐on polymer for use as interlayer dielectric in the microelectronics industry. Research work is divided into three main sections. First, BCB thin film characterization was done to investigate the effects o…

Abstract Blown extruded polyethylene films without stabilizers have been exposed outdoors under severe weathering conditions in the Sahara. The chemical aspect of aging has been followed by IR spectroscopy. The mechanical aspect of aging has been monitored by means of a nondestructive method. It consists of measuring…
Additives in Water-borne Coatings covers both current technology and the future prognosis for the key additives used in water-borne coatings today. It brings together international experts to provide a comprehensive, practical overview of the field, its direction, and selection of key additives currently employed for…
There are three clear new trends in solution crystallization. The first is crystallizer control, with the aim of better crystals by means of measuring supersaturation and crystal sizes in‐line/on‐line. The second trend is the molecular modeling of crystals. The focus is on finding “tailor made additives” by computer s…
Abstract Poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) (PCL) and poly[( R )‐3‐hydroxybutyrate] ( R ‐PHB) films with pores and hydrophilic surfaces were prepared by the water extraction of poly(ethylene oxide) from as‐cast blend films (1:1) and by the alkali treatment of as‐cast nonporous films, respectively. These films, as well as as‐cast no…
Abstract Recent developments in topological polymer chemistry are outlined. First, nonlinear polymer topologies are systematically classified on the basis of topological considerations of constitutional isomerism in a series of alkanes (C n H 2 n +2 ), monocycloalkanes (C n H 2 n ), and polycycloalkanes (C n H 2 n −2…
Abstract An inverse emulsion method was used to prepare the chitosan microspheres, which were crosslinked with epichlorohydrin between the hydroxyl groups under protection of amino groups to obtain crosslinked chitosan resin. Further chemical modification with glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride was used to form the q…
An aqueous-based process is reported for surface functionalization and grafting of anticoagulant and cell attachment moieties, such as heparin and/or arginine-glycine- aspartate (RGD) onto the lumenal surface of a prefabricated cardiovascular graft (5 mm i.d.) made of poly(carbonate- urea)urethane (MyoLink). It is a t…
Surface aggregation states in miscible blends of monodisperse polystyrene (PS) and poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in conjunction with neutron reflectivity (NR). In the case of symmetric blends in terms of degree of polymerization, N, PVME and PS were preferential…
A series of heterometal cyclic tetranuclear complexes [Cu(II)LM(II)(hfac)](2) (M(II) = Zn (1), Cu (2), Ni (3), Co (4), Fe(5), and Mn (6)) have been synthesized by the assembly reaction of K[CuL] and [M(II)(hfac)(2)(H(2)O)(2)] with a 1:1 mole ratio in methanol, where H(3)L = 1-(2-hydroxybenzamido)-2-((2-hydroxy-3-metho…
Abstract Thiol‐terminated poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was synthesized using two different approaches: esterification of terminal hydroxyl groups with mercaptoacetic acid and amidation using N ‐hydroxysuccinimidyl PEO (NHS–PEO) and cysteine. The reaction of hydroxyl‐terminated PEO with mercaptoacetic acid was carried ou…
The fiber formation mechanism of Bombyx mori silk fibroin by silkworm is essentially the structural change from silk I (the silk fibroin structure before spinning in the solid state) to silk II (the silk fibroin structure after spinning) under external forces in both silk gland and spinneret of B. mori silkworm. Recen…
We report the synthesis and characterization of mesostructured thin silica films derived from methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and/or tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) silica precursors and polystyrene- block -poly(ethylene oxide) (PS- b -PEO) diblock copolymers via the solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) proce…
Abstract This study describes the microstructure and thermal and mechanical properties of poly(hydroxybutyrate‐co‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHB/HV)–organoclay nanocomposites prepared by melt intercalation using Cloisite 30B, a monotallow bis‐hydroxyethyl ammonium‐modified montmorillonite clay. X‐ray diffractometry and transmi…
Nanostructured thin films fabricated from semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest for biomedical applications, but NP materials based on heavy metals can be cytotoxic. In this work, the preparation of semiconductor NPs followed the protocol of layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly, which alleviates this proble…
We show that CdMnTe self-assembled quantum dots can be formed by depositing a submonolayer of Mn ions over a ZnTe surface prior to deposition of the CdTe dot layer. Single dot emission lines and strongly polarized quantum dot photoluminescence in an applied magnetic field confirm the presence of Mn in individual quant…
