We report static and dynamic light-scattering measurements of aqueous glucose solutions near their glass transition. Photon correlation spectroscopy reveals two relaxation processes present in the supercooled liquid: a nonexponential and nonhydrodynamic, alpha -relaxation occurring at short times and an exponential an…

Abstract Polyurethane/polyaniline (PU/PANI) and polyurethane‐poly(methyl methacrylate)/polyaniline (PU‐PMMA/PANI) conductive core‐shell particles were synthesized by a two‐stage polymerization process. The first stage was to produce a core of PU or PU‐PMMA via miniemulsion polymerization using sodium dodecyl sulfate (…

The multiaxial fatigue loading in the high-cycle regime leads to localized mesoscopic plastic strain that occurs in some preferential directions of individual grains for most metallic materials. Crack initiation modeling is difficult in this fatigue regime because the scale where the mechanisms operate is not the engi…

A C/SiC composite panel with defects of known size and of familiar nature was manufactured successfully for nondestructive evaluation. A computed tomography (CT) system was used to detect embedded defects. The results show that CT imaging corresponds well with the designed defects. The defect‐embedded composites under…

Three models of the kaolinite:dimethylsulfoxide intercalate with 25, 50, and 100% saturation of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) have been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT, fully periodic approach). The analysis of interatomic distances was used to characterize interactions between DMSO molecules and ka…

Phosphazenes (RNH)6P3N3 (R = n-propyl, isobutyl, isopropyl, cyclohexyl, tert-butyl, benzyl) are readily alkylated at ring N sites by alkyl halides forming N-alkyl phosphazenium cations. Alkylation of two ring N sites occurred after prolonged heating in the presence of methyl iodide or immediately at room temperature w…

We have previously reported the unique luminescence properties of ML4 complexes formed between tropolonate ligands and a series of lanthanide cations, several of them emitting in the near-infrared domain. The synthesis and composition of ML4 lanthanide tropolonate complexes have been previously described in the litera…

Abstract Due to being halogen‐free, non‐toxic, non‐erosive and environmentally friendly, melamine‐based flame retardants are attracting more and more attention. As a melamine‐based intumescent flame retardant, in this study the melamine salt of pentaerythritol phosphate (MPP) was prepared from melamine phosphate (MP)…

A plate‐shaped thermoelectric module was prepared using 140 pairs of p ‐type Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 (Co‐349) and n ‐type LaNiO 3 (Ni‐113) bulks. The hot‐pressed thermoelectric oxide bulks were connected with an Ag paste, incorporating oxide powder, and Ag sheets. The module's open‐circuit voltage increases with increasing hot‐…

The electrochemical growth current of poly( o -phenylenediamine) as well as its redox current were enhanced several-fold when deposited on a carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode compared to the same at a glassy carbon surface. The current enhancements during the growth of the polymer were not due to any su…
