The helical pitch of the cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) can be adjusted to reflect the colors red, green, and blue. Additive mixing of these colors in displays results in multicolor images and it is easy to use pure primary blue and green colors, but the red color is in general very unsaturated. We show by simulatio…

Crystals of a new lead carbonate, NaPb2(CO3)2(OH), sp. gr. P31c, were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. The crystal structure was established by the heavy-atom method without knowing the exact chemical formula of the compound. The polar structure of the carbonate and the distortion of the pseudosymmetry described by…

To reduce the radiological consequences of postulated severe accidents, the design of future European nuclear reactors includes measures to avoid basemat penetration in case of a core meltdown. The considered retention schemes include a temporary retention of the debris in the reactor pit followed by the spreading of…

Abstract The classical methods available for evaluating the degree of crosslinking in elastomers are stress-strain and swelling measurements. In this study, we have adopted a new analytical approach based on thermoporometry, densimetry and DSC for comparing the crosslinking density in elastomers. Crosslinking by chemi…

The time-periodic finite-element method is applied to hysteretic eddy-current analysis. A new method for determining the relaxation factor of Newton iteration is proposed for fast convergence to periodic solutions. The influence of hysteretic terms in the Jacobian matrix on the Newton iteration is discussed. Applicati…

Ultradisperse particles of CdSe x Te 1− x (0≤ x ≤1) were formed in the matrix of a silicate glass by introduction of corresponding prepared compounds into a mixture of SiO 2 and Ca, Na, K, and Li oxides. Initially produced particles with an average size of 10–15 nm grow by a factor of 2–3 after additional thermal trea…

This paper presents a two-dimensional analytical model of a spiral-shaped PZT ceramic actuator. Developed using elasticity theory and a zero-stress assumption, the theoretical analysis has been formulated for a piecewise semicircular representation of the spiral-shaped actuator. Closed-form solutions of the tangential…

Polyaniline-fullerene composites were prepared by the introduction of fullerene during polymerization of aniline. An investigation of the composites using FTIR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy indicated interaction between fullerene and the imine groups of polyaniline. The formation of a polyaniline-fullerene complex with a…

Short carbon fiber-filled conductive rubber composites have been derived from EVA, EPDM and their 50:50 blend. The electrical and mechanical properties for each system have been studied. The SCF-filled composites show poorer mechanical properties than the carbon black-filled composite because of the lower degree of in…

Silicon carbide (SiC) particles were modified in situ , using Al 3+ complexes in aqueous media, via control of Al(NO 3 ) 3 concentration and pH. The Al 3+ formed hydrolyzed complexes that adsorbed onto the charged sites on the SiC particle surfaces. As a result, the surface‐modified SiC particles behaved in an alumina…
