ABSTRACT NR is hydrophobic and cannot be used to store, transfer, or make contact with hydrocarbon compounds. We report a simple method to increase the hydrophilicity of NR: a chlorohydrination reaction of NR latex by using sodium hypochlorite is described. It was found that only chlorohydrinated NR was obtained and s…

A series of novel rare earth carbonates, RE3(OH)6(CO3)Cl (RE = Dy, Er, Y), with sodalite-like (SOD-like) zeolite topologies have been successfully synthesized by introducing an appropriate amount of CO3(2-) from NaCO3 or atmospheric carbon dioxide as a template. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the struct…

In most cases, fabrics such as curtains, skirts, suit pants and so on are draped under their own gravity parallel to fabric plane while the gravity is perpendicular to fabric plane in traditional drape testing method. As a result, it does not conform to actual situation and the test data is not convincing enough. To o…
