A review is presented on the observation of the resonant Raman spectra from one isolated single wall carbon nanotube, focusing on the important structural information that is provided by single nanotube spectroscopy including the (n, m) determination of the individual tubes. The special sensitivity of the radial breat…
Shape Memory Alloys have been used in a wide variety of actuation applications. A bundled shape memory alloy cable actuator, capable of providing large force and displacement has been developed by United Technologies Corporation (patents pending) for actuating a Variable Area fan Nozzle (VAN). The ability to control f…
Abstract The mechanical and heat‐resistant properties of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) binary and ternary blends were investigated. The relationship of compatibility and properties was discussed. The results show that poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and styrene–maleic anhydride (SMA) can improve the thermal p…
Ti/SiO 2 samples with different titanium contents were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of TiCl 4 on silica gel in the temperature range 400−1100 °C. The resulting samples were used to catalyze the reaction of propylene with tert -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) to propylene oxide (PO). It was found that deposit…
The interaction of low-energy XeF 2 with Si(100)(2 × 1) has been studied and compared to that of F 2 . Helium atom diffraction, beam-surface scattering, and thermal desorption measurements are the major techniques used in this study. It is found that XeF 2 dissociatively chemisorbs with high probability solely on the…
Solubilities of terephthalaldehydic acid in water, acetic acid, chloroform, N, N -dimethylformamide, and N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone were determined by a static analytical method at temperatures ranging from 293.15 K to 371.15 K at atmospheric pressure. The Buchowski equation was used to correlate the solubility data with…
A large contrast ratio and rapid switching electrochromic(EC) polymer device which consists of laminated two-layer structure between two electrodes was proposed. The new design which only comprises an ITO coated glass electrode, a cathodic poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) derivative (PProDOT-(CH<SUB>3$</SUB><SUB>2</S…
A new vanadium(IV) silicate, Rb(2)(VO)(Si(4)O(10)).xH(2)O (x approximately 0.1), has been synthesized by a high-temperature, high-pressure hydrothermal method. It crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I4(1)md (No. 109) with a = 12.2225(7) A, c = 7.7948(6) A, and Z = 4. The structure consists of spiral chains of c…
The physisorption and pore condensation of a polar fluid (CHF3) in a series of MCM-41 type mesoporous silica materials with native and chemically modified pore walls has been studied over the temperature range 168–293 K, corresponding to reduced temperatures T/Tc in the range 0.56-0.98, where Tc is the critical temper…
Abstract Through the neutralization of magnesium oxide (MgO) and methacrylic acid (MAA), magnesium methacrylate [Mg(MAA) 2 ] was in situ prepared in styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) and used to reinforce the SBR vulcanizates cured by dicumyl peroxide (DCP). The experimental results show that the mechanical properties, d…
An investigation of M(3)O(13) unit ("M(3) cap") isomerization in the classical polytungstodiphosphates alpha- and beta-P(2)W(18)O(62)(6)(-) has been undertaken because cap isomerism is an important and structurally well-studied phenomenon in many polyoxometalate families. The relative thermodynamic stabilities of the…
A novel nanoporous composite containing micrographitic carbon layers is synthesized by preliminarily expanding the interlayer of an oxidized product of graphite using surfactant, followed by Si bridging/pillaring, and carbonization.
Traditional conducting polymer actuators such as polypyrrole offer tremendous active stress at low actuation voltages but with moderate strain, strain-rate and efficiency. We report the synthesis of novel thiophene based conducting polymer molecular actuators, exhibiting electrically triggered molecular conformational…
A novel regioselectively substituted cellulose ether with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) side chains, 6-O-trityl-2,3-O-PEOcellulose (TPEOCELL), was synthesized and characterized. The polymer is a thermotropic liquid crystalline material and forms a right-handed chiral nematic phase which reflects visible light at room tem…
We have cloned and functionally characterized a novel protein, BmVMP30, which is synthesized by the cells of the follicular epithelium of the ovarian follicles of the domesticated silkworm Bombyx mori, secreted from them and associated with the vitelline membrane. BmVMP30 is a 30 kDa protein that bears limited structu…
The cubic-to-rhombohedral (C–R) phase transition of the ferroelectric relaxor Pb(Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 ) is investigated by means of a high-resolution x-ray diffraction study on single crystals. The phase transition is diffuse and spreads over the temperature range T CR = 385 ± 5 K to T R = 325 ± 5 K. Below T CR , the cub…
Advances in active materials and smart structures, especially in applications of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) as vibration isolation devices requires modeling of the pseudoelastic hysteresis found in SMAs. In general SMA hysteresis has been modeled either through constitutive models based on mechanics and material parame…
Conducting polymer actuators were first proposed more than ten years ago. Reported performance has improved dramatically, particularly in the past few years, due to changes in synthesis methods, better characterization and an understanding of the underlying mechanisms. These actuators are able to displace large loads…
Ab initio theoretical results are reported to determine the role of interatomic screening of the metal core hole in Mn $3s$ x-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of MnO. We present information that finally resolves the controversy about the relative importance of intra-atomic and interatomic effects to the XPS spectra of…
Abstract This article presents a series of nanocomposites of a polyester [poly (ethylene terephathalate), PET] with different contents of layered silicates of montmorillonite (MMt) by a controlled process, that is, controlling the way to pretreat MMt, the content of MMt, the kind of reagents used, and the way for MMt…
