Abstract Two new unique benzoate ester plasticizers that will offer the vinyl formulator improved performance have been developed. One is an excellent solvator that will yield lower plastisol viscosities than existing plasticizers. The other will provide an excellent alternate with low volatility. The new products pro…

In this paper protein crystallization is regarded as a process starting with phase separation in a two-component system. The nucleation time of a lysozyme solution is measured by recording the NMR spectra of crystallizing solutions as a function of time. It is found that there is an appreciable induction time before t…

Healing characteristics of small-caliber vascular prostheses used in small children have rarely been observed because removing specimens are troublesome. Modified Blalock Taussig shunt procedures were performed using small caliber expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular grafts and fabric grafts in 13 patient…

Abstract High molecular weight phosphorus‐containing copolyesters, poly(ethylene terephthalate)‐co‐poly(ethylene DDP) (PET‐co‐PEDDP)s, were prepared and characterized with the objective of producing a non‐halogen flame retardant system for practical applications. The phosphorus‐containing copolyester with 30 wt% phosp…

Detailed equivalent circuit models of ferroelectric and high-permittivity dielectric capacitors are required for the development of FeRAM and ultra-dense DRAM devices. This review comprises the frequency dependence of C-V and P-V characteristics, grain size effects, electrode interface effects, as well as reversible a…

XAFS measurements (LURE and NSLS) of ${\mathrm{Se}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Te}}_{x}$ glasses have been carried out on both the Se and Te $K$ edges at low and room temperatures. Using a multishell best-fit analysis procedure, we have reconstructed the Se and Te local environment: first-shell intrachain nearest neig…

Organic materials for quadratic nonlinear optics generally follow the basic pattern of strongly dipolar quasi one-dimensional intramolecular charge transfer molecules organized in macroscopic crystalline or statistical polar lattices. This restriction has been lifted by the introduction of the much broader class of mu…

Liquids may be used between the magnetic confined fusion plasma and the first wall of the plasma chamber to reduce the material damage through displacements per atom (dpa) and helium gas production. This could extend the lifetime of the first wall in a magnetic fusion energy (MFE) reactor to a plant lifetime of ~30 yr…

Computer optimization shows that the first-order diffraction efficiency of a lossless-transmission surface-relief grating with a rectangular surface profile can be made very large (~95%) simultaneously for light of TE and TM polarizations incident near the Bragg angle by the proper choice of the fill factor. The case…

We report the ab initio structure solutions of two solvent containing potassium phenoxides by high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction. Both compounds are of interest for the classification of the mechanism of Kolbe-Schmitt type reactions. C(6)H(5)OK.2C(6)H(5)OH crystallizes in space group Abm2, Z = 4, with unit cell…

A new and useful method for obtaining diffraction efficiencies from holograms manufactured practically is presented. Applying the rigorous coupled-wave analysis, we express each difference between the practical and the ideal as a mathematical component that can be easily integrated. In Part 1 the effects due to thickn…

It has been found that, even at levels of magnesium hydroxide too low to impart flame retardancy to polypropylene, the addition of melamine makes it possible to reduce burning time under UL 94 conditions sufficiently to meet the V-2 rating. However, flaming drips still persist, so that a V-0 rating by UL 94 can not be…

The interfacial tension γ between the coexisting isotropic and nematic phases of toluene solutions of poly( n -hexyl isocyanate) (PHIC) was determined as a function of the molecular weight of PHIC by the pendant drop method. The value of γ was almost independent of the molecular weight, in contrast to the theoretical…

We studied the interaction of active molybdenum field emitter arrays with molecular hydrogen and helium. Upon impact with the field emitted electrons, H2 gas introduced into the system undergoes dissociation and ionization. The emitter surface is conditioned through the interaction of the hydrogen atoms and ions with…

The escape length of electrons photoinduced from thin CsI, KI, RbI, NaI, and CsBr evaporated films was measured in the 140–180 nm photon spectral range. Theoretical model predictions of the escape length value are in fair agreement with the experimental results. They vary between 10 and 40 nm, the highest values being…

Recent studies have shown that the measured flash widths from single and multibubble sonoluminescence are in subnanosecond or even picosecond regime. Here, we provide conclusive evidence for the existence of nanosecond multibubble sonoluminescence. This has become possible by our ability to find a medium from which ex…
