Various microorganisms were screened for their ability to degrade poly(tetramethylene succinate)-co-(tetramethylene adipate) (PBSA). Strain BS-3, which was newly isolated from a soil sample, was selected as the best strain. From taxonomical studies, the strain was tentatively ascribed to belong to the genus Acidovorax…

Abstract The crystal structure of boleite, K Pb26 Ag9 Cu24 Cl62 (OH)48, a 15.288(2) Å, V 3574(1) Å3, Pm 3̅m, Z = 1, has been refined to an R-index of 2.2% based on 884 observed (5σ) reflections collected with MoKα X-radiation. A new site was resolved, and site-scattering refinement showed it to be occupied by a scat…

Single crystals of rubidium hydrogen (+)-tartrate [RbH(C4H4O6)] (RbHT) were grown by slow evaporation of an aqueous solution at room temperature. The crystals have been studied by Raman scattering; infrared transmittance at room temperature was measured on powder samples. Tentative assignments have been made for both…

Novel chitosan-based polymeric networks were synthesized and characterized by FTIR, UV and C13 NMR. A naturally occurring crosslinking reagent—genipin, which has been used in herbal medicine and in the fabrication of food dyes, was used to prepare crosslinked chitosan hydrogel. The heterocyclic compound of genipin cro…

If a stress σ is applied to a polycrystal of grain size L, the mode of creep deformation depends on the answers to the following questions: (I) Does σ exceed the Peierls stress σp; (II) Does L exceed the dislocation spacing in a Taylor lattice stabilized by σp; (III) Does Lσ exceed the value required for a Frank-Read…

Methylene chloride is used as softening agent for guttapercha and as adhesion promotor for polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). However, methylene chloride has been found to be carcinogenic. It was the aim of the present work to search for harmless substitutes for methylene chloride in these situations. A number of possible…

The structure particular to layer aluminumsilicates is discussed permitting the intercalation of polymers. This process ultimately leads to nanocomposites that exhibit interesting properties. It will be shown that many improvements of physical properties can be achieved by polymer-clay nanocomposites.

Dendritic macromolecules are hyperbranched polymers that emanate from a central core, have a defined number of generations and functional end groups, and are synthesized in a stepwise process by a repetitive reaction sequence. This hyperbranched topology results in a unique series of physical and chemical properties e…

Ercitite, ideally Na Mn 3+ (PO 4 ) (OH) (H 2 O) 2 , is a new mineral species from the Tanco pegmatite, southeastern Manitoba. Ercitite forms 200–400 μm irregular aggregates of lath-like crystals in fan-like divergent sprays. The mineral occurs in a 5-cm nodule embedded in a quartz + spodumene pseudomorph after petalit…

The effectiveness of fireproof intumescent coatings based on water glass can be considerably increased if the coagulated sodium water glass is used as an intumescent component. When heated, the coagulated sodium water glass creates a steam-gas cloud above the protected surface which together with foam formation decrea…

Sodium p-nitrophenolate dihydrate single crystals possess excellent nonlinear optical properties such that they can be used for optical second-harmonic generation. It belongs to the orthorhombic system with the space group $\mathrm{Ima}2.$ Slow evaporation or slow cooling techniques can be used to grow good optical qu…

For most alkoxycyanobiphenyls (3OCB, 5OCB, 6OCB, 7OCB and 9OCB) it has been observed that slow or delayed cooling gave rise to a lower melting crystalline polymorphic form which then slowly converted into the higher melting stable crystalline structure. Although under slow evaporation from a solvent, polymorphic cryst…

Abstract The occurrence of transesterification reactions in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) blends prepared in presence of triphenyl phosphite (TPP) was investigated. When PEN was processed with TPP, which is a known chain extender for PET, chain extension reactions also took place.…

Atomistic simulation techniques are now able to model the structure of mineral surfaces at the atomic level. In this paper we begin to address the question of whether surface reactivity can be studied reliably by modelling the surface reactivity of calcite, fluorite and forsterite under aqueous conditions. We first us…

We have fabricated oriented copper-phthalocyanine (CuPc) films by vacuum deposition on rubbed polyimide (PI) alignment layers. It was found that the b -axis of α-type CuPc microcrystals changes its direction depending on the thickness of PI layers, namely, the b -axis is perpendicular to the rubbing direction on a thi…
