High density closed-cell HDPE foams (450–950 kg/m3) were prepared by compression molding, and torsion rectangular tests were performed to measure their shear modulus in order to study: (1) the relationship between the modulus as a function of the density, and (2) to determine the effect of thin skins. Based on the ass…

Abstract The use of grafted poly(propylene) (PP) and a random copolymer of ethylene and propylene (EPR) with an itaconic acid derivative, monomethyl itaconate (MMI), as compatibilizer for PP/EPR blends was analyzed. The grafting reaction was performed at 190 °C in a Brabender Plasticorder. 2,5‐Dimethyl‐2,5‐bis( tert ‐…

Silicon compounds containing R3SiO1/2 (M-unit), R2SiO (D-unit), RSiO3/2 (T-unit), and SiO2 (Q-unit) in various combinations are commonly used as flame-retardant auxiliaries for polycarbonate (PC) plastics, and the use of branched DT-type silicones as the main flame retardant has also gained interest. We have found, ba…

We propose a theoretically justified experimental magnetometric technique for determining the size of stochastic domains spontaneously formed in the spin system of nanostructured ferromagnets and for evaluating the effective anisotropy in these magnetically correlated regions. The method is based on monitoring the Δ M…

Abstract Previous efforts have demonstrated that high‐pressure CO 2 can markedly influence the phase behavior of amorphous polymer blends. In this work, we examine the effect of high‐pressure CO 2 on the miscibility of blends composed of glassy poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and semicrystalline poly(vinylidene fluor…

In this communication, we describe an inexpensive and feasible method for the preparation of hexagonal boron nitride (h–BN) nanorods in the absence of metal catalyst. Tertiary calcium phosphate (Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ) and ammonium biborate hydrate (NH 4 HB 4 O 7 ·3H 2 O) were selected as starting materials where calcium pho…

Comparative analysis of 16S rDNA sequences revealed a close phylogenetic relationship (99.6 % similarity) between Subtercola pratensis Behrendt et al. 2002 and Agreia bicolorata Evtushenko et al. 2001. The two species were found to share genus-specific chemotaxonomic characteristics such as the occurrence of D-ornithi…

The static and resonance properties of copper metaborate CuB 2 O 4 were experimentally studied in a magnetic field applied in the crystal tetragonal plane. The field-induced second-order phase transition to a weakly ferromagnetic state was observed in the temperature range 10–20 K. The low-field state is characterized…

A promising material for hypervelocity impact shields in spacecraft and satellites has been found in lightweight microcellular SiOC foams. The foam stops the projectile and the debris from the impacted bumper facesheet within a few millimeters (see Figure for a cross‐section of the crater) at speeds up to 5.1 km s –1…

Some archaeological silver objects are found to be brittle. The brittleness is a consequence of long‐term corrosion and microstructural changes. The types and mechanisms of embrittlement are defined and explained. The severity of embrittlement is increased by a larger grain size and by synergistic action of corrosion‐…
