Moving light-emitting diodes are envisioned as a possible application of the work presented here. Microfabricated bilayer hinges of polypyrrole (PPy) and gold are used to rotate and position silicon plates. This is achieved by electrochemically altering the oxidation state of PPy, thus causing a significant volume cha…

Abstract Gum and black-filled vulcanizates of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and natural rubber (NR) were prepared. Strengths in uniaxial tension were determined for specimens with and without edge-cuts. Normal tensile strengths (no cut) of the gum NR, filled NR and filled SBR were similar; whereas, with pre-cuts, eve…

Molecular dynamics simulations for a thin film of water confined to a slit nanopore are performed in order to investigate the dynamic process of crystallization of the system. The system upon freezing creates a bilayer ice crystal composed of two layers of hexagonal rings. We perform one simulation at T=257 K during w…

Gold colloids coated with a self-assembled monolayer of an alkanethiol were introduced into a polyethylene matrix by means of solution-casting techniques. We oriented the resulting nanocomposites by uniaxial drawing in the solid state. The absorption spectra of the drawn nanocomposites in the visible wavelength region…

The influence of boric acid (H3BO3) additions to sulfuric acid (H2SO4) were examined for the anodizing of Al 2024-T3 (UNS A92024) and Al 7075-T6 (UNS A97075) alloys at constant voltage. Alloys were pretreated by electropolishing, by sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7)/H2SO4 (CSA) etching, or by alkaline etching. Current-time…

It has recently been shown that the standard deviation of local r.m. s. electron density is a good indicator of the presence of distinct regions of solvent and protein in macromolecular electron-density maps [Terwilliger & Berendzen (1999). Acta Cryst. D55, 501-505]. Here, it is demonstrated that a complementary measu…

In the first part of this study we described the process of destabilization of foam films by mixed (silica−silicone oil) antifoam drops as observed with a high-speed video camera. The drops formed oil bridges, which stretched with time and eventually ruptured the foam films. Remarkably, two types of bridges could be d…
