The effects of bath oxidizing power on hydrotalcite coating formation and breakdown were examined in this study. Overall, results indicate that increasing the oxidizing power of the coating bath shortens the immersion time required to form highly corrosion-resistant coatings. Hydrotalcite conversion coatings were form…

The Flory χ parameter is typically assumed to depend only on the temperature, T . Experimental results often require the replacement of this χ( T ) by χ eff, which depends also on the monomer volume fraction, φ, χ eff (φ, T ). Such χ eff (φ, T ) can arise from two-state models, proposed for polyetheleneoxide (PEO) and…

Abstract Isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of nylon‐46 were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry. The equilibrium melting enthalpy and the equilibrium melting temperature of nylon‐46 were determined to be 155.58 J/g and 307.10 °C, respectively. The isothermal crystallization process…

Dendrimers constitute a new class of macromolecules having a hyperbranched and perfectly defined structure. The attractive beauty of these nanosized compounds induces since ten years an exponential development of the number of publications devoted to this topic. Most dendrimers are purely organic compounds, but hetero…

A low nickel copper alloy commonly used in the plumbing/drainage pipelines on ships was investigated under slow strain rate conditions in air, and in solution containing 3·5%NaCl + 10%MgCl2, with and without 1% ammonia. The tests were conducted at ambient temperature (28 ± 1°C) at strain rates corresponding to a cross…

Fine structure in the principal OH-stretching bands of amphiboles of the tremolite-ferro-actinolite series have been examined. In samples with partly filled A sites, a broad (composite) band is observed at 3725~3680 cm -1 and is assigned to two types of configurations: (M1M1M3)-OH- A ( Na,K): T1 Si T1 Al in which Al o…

A new family of manganites, LnBaMn2O6 − γ(Ln = Nd, Sm, and Gd), is obtained by the method of topotactic reactions. In these compounds, rare-earth and barium ions are ordered, which results in a dramatic increase in the temperature of transition to the paramagnetic state. Thus, a SmBaMn2O6 compound with a disordered ar…

The pilling behavior of polyester/viscose, polyester/viscose/Lycra®, and %100 cotton fabrics, is investigated in both normal and wet conditions. The experimental results show that the pilling tendency of fabrics in the wet state is directly related to the constituent fiber tenacity in the wet state. We also test three…
