Monte Carlo computer simulations were used to investigate the interlayer structure of Ca-montmorillonite for hydration levels ranging from the dry clay to a three-layer system. Our model of montmorillonite consists of negative charge sites in both the octahedral and tetrahedral layers. Our results are compared with X-…

Abstract The effect of increasing the concentration of sorghum wax paste on the characteristics of soy protein isolate (SPI) films was investigated. Water vapor permeability (WVP), tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (E), and total soluble matter (TSM) of cast SPI films were determined. Sorghum wax paste extrac…

The aggregation behavior of meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, [ H 2 ( TPPS 4 )] 4- , in the presence of hydrated polyethyleneimine ( PEI ) in aqueous solutions (1.6 < pH < 7.6) has been investigated. The interaction leads to the formation of a variety of pH dependent species, which have been attributed…

Textiles are used in many industrial applications, especially in papermaking. During the pressing of paper, felts are used to recover the water expressed from the wet sheet. To improve this operation, felt structures have to be characterized. X-ray microtomography is a powerful tool for reconstructing the complex orga…

Abstract The adsorption of 13 C-labeled benzene on imogolite has been studied on samples which had been evacuated and then heated to remove water below their decomposition point. After adsorption of labeled benzene, the samples were studied by nuclear magnetic resonance using non-spinning techniques. The results show…

We have incorporated nematic liquid crystal into periodic, polymer host structures templated from self-assembled colloids. Using these composite materials, we demonstrate the first electrically switchable three-dimensional Bragg diffraction. The switchable beam deflection is potentially useful for non-mechanical beam…

The initial rise method is one of the most reliable methods for evaluating the activation energy (E) of a single glow peak. However, this method gives erroneous values of activation energy in cases where the thermal quenching effect is present during the initial rise measurements. It is well established that the therm…

A lattice model for an electrolyte solution is proposed, which assumes that the hydrated ion occupies τ i ( i = 1, 2) sites on a water lattice. A lattice site is available to an ion “ i ” only if it is “free” (it is occupied by a water molecule, which does not hydrate an ion) and has also at least (τ i − 1) first-neig…
