Abstract The effect of hydroxy and carboxylic acid substances on lactide polymerization in the presence of stannous octoate was investigated. A polymerization mechanism was postulated to attempt to explain the controversies existing in the literature and also to explain our experimental observations. Stannous alkoxide…
This work discusses techniques for developing new engineering materials such as elastomers, plastic blends, composites, ceramics and high-temperature alloys. Instrumentation for evaluating their properties and identifying potential end uses are presented.;The book is intended for materials, manufacturing, mechanical,…
Abstract The theoretical relationship between the shear modulus of a particulate reinforced composite and the viscosity of a solution with suspended particles was first proposed by Goodier. Since that time several partially successful attempts have been made in the literature to derive equations to describe the availa…
Superlattice structures, consisting of SrCuO2 and (Sr,Ca)CuO2 layers in the tetragonal, ‘‘infinite layer’’ crystal structure, have been grown by pulsed-laser deposition. Superlattice chemical modulation is observed for structures with SrCuO2 and (Sr,Ca)CuO2 layers as thin as a single unit cell (∼3.4 Å). X-ray diffract…
Abstract Poly(2,6‐dimethyl‐ p ‐phenylene) oxides (PPO) grafted with nylon 6 were prepared by first quantitatively brominating the PPO, followed by reacting the brominated products with nylon 6 of different molecular weights. The molecular weights of PPOs were kept intact during bromination. These graft copolymers with…
Abstract Simultaneous Interpenetrating Networks (SINs) were synthesized based on polyepichlorohydrin glycol (PECG), toluene diiocyanate (TDI), and trihydroxymethyl propane (TMP) as network I; and methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), methyl acrylate (MA), ethyl acrylate (EA), and ethyleneglycol dimethyl…
Polycrystalline diamond thin films have been formed on single crystal silicon field emitters using bias-enhanced nucleation in a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition system. A diamond nucleation density greater than 1010/cm2 with small grain sizes (<25 nm) was achieved on the surfaces of silicon emitters…
Abstract Hydrothermal weathering of the peroxide vulcanized specimens of silicone rubber, EPDM rubber, and their 50 : 50 blend carried out for various durations at different temperatures reveals that silicone is very susceptible to degradation. For example, the modulus, the strength, and the elongation at break consis…
A novel technique combining electrospray and organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD) has been developed for the synthesis of new II–VI quantum dot composites. CdSe nanocrystals (quantum dots) of selected size are dispersed in a pyridine/acetonitrile mixture. The nanocrystals are transferred by electrospray in…
The difference in vibrational entropy between chemically disordered and $D{O}_{3}$-ordered ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}$Al was measured by calorimetry to be (0.10 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 0.03) ${\mathit{k}}_{\mathit{B}}$/atom at high temperatures, with the ordered alloy having the lower vibrational entropy. Analysis of the…
Abstract Raw polymer and compound of hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) were subjected to γ‐ray irradiation. Crosslinking was found to be the main chemical reaction induced by irradiation; the ratio of chain scission to crosslinking as well as the does at which gelation occurred were determined from ge…
We report detailed band structure results on the series LnNiO 3 with Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Sm and Ho. LaNiO 3 is shown to be a pd metal, expected to be close to localization due to correlation effects; the other four compounds are suggested to be covalent insulators. There is a systematic reduction in the bandwidths with inc…
Abstract Blends of citrus pectin and high amylose starch plasticized with glycerine were investigated to determine the effect of compositional variables on film properties. Several films with representative compositions were made from sugar beet and almond pectin, and tested for comparison. The films were cast from wa…
A new order-N method for calculating the electronic structure of general (non-tight-binding) potentials is presented. The method uses a combination of the ``purification''-based approaches used by Li, Nunes and Vanderbilt, and Daw, and a representation of the density matrix based on ``travelling basis orbitals''. The…
We show that there are qualitative differences between the temperature dependence of the spin and charge correlations in the normal state of the 2D attractive Hubbard model using quantum Monte Carlo simulations. The one-particle density of states shows a pseudogap above $\tc$ with a depleted $N(0)$ with decreasing $T$…
{}From a series of total energy calculations by the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method, the total energy hypersurface as function of atomic displacements from equilibrium positions has been fitted for different Gamma phonon modes in orthorhombic KNbO3. Frequencies and eigenvectors of all TO Gamma phonons…
A glass network of N atoms with n(1) of the atoms with a coordination number of 1, and m(2) of the atoms with a coordination number of 2 about which the bond-angle constraint is broken, will in general display a stiffness threshold (rigidity percolation threshold) when the average coordination increases to a critical…
Mechanical support in animals is performed by connective tissues. The soft tissues consist of collagen fibres embedded in a highly hydrated proteoglycan gel. By considering them as fibrous composite materials, a unifying theme can be found to explain their mechanical behaviour in terms of their structure and compositi…
We performed high-dimensional quantum dynamical calculations of the dissociative adsorption and associative desorption of hydrogen on Cu(111). The potential energy surface (PES) is obtained from density functional theory calculations. Two regimes of dynamics are found, at low energies sticking is determined by the min…
The elastic strain state in a 25 nm (In,Ga)As epitaxic film deposited on a (001) GaAs substrate includes a Poisson expansion perpendicular to the interface. This creates a tetragonally distorted lattice in the film which shifts high-order Laue-zone (HOLZ) lines in electron channeling patterns (ECP) from the film compa…
