Ordered titanium dioxide films with large and controllable microstructure have been prepared by a low temperature sputtering deposition method. The Figure displays the “parallel penniform” structure of the films, which have very large surface area and excellent contact to the underlying substrate, rendering them poten…
The diffusivities of C and O in calcite were determined in a pure CO 2 atmosphere at 100 MPa and temperatures ranging from 600 to 800 °C. The calcite crystals were preannealed and H 2 O was excluded from the system to determine the self-diffusion coefficients. The CO 2 consisted of 99% 13 C and 90% 18 O. After heating…
An NiO/yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) layer sintered at temperatures between 1100° and 1500°C onto dense YSZ electrolyte foils forms the precursor structure for a porous Ni/YSZ cermet anode for solid oxide fuel cells. Conflicting requirements for the electrochemical performance and mechanical strength of such cells…
In this study, extensive Monte Carlo simulation results are reported on the collective correlation factors (the correlated parts of the phenomenological coefficients) in the random binary alloy with the monovacancy mechanism operating at a very small vacancy concentration. It is found that results from the analytical…
Here, we show that an unfolded intermediate of canine milk lysozyme is extraordinarily stable compared with that of the other members of the lysozyme-alpha-lactalbumin superfamily, which has been studied previously. The stability of the intermediate of this protein was investigated using calorimetry, CD spectroscopy,…
We study the early stages of spinodal decomposition (SD) in polymer--liquid-crystal mixtures by solving linearized time-dependent Landau-Ginzburg equations for concentration (conserved order parameter) and orientation (nonconserved order parameter). The theory takes into account a cross term between concentration and…
Despite the presence and abundance of archaea in low-temperature environments, little information is available regarding their physiological and biochemical properties. In order to investigate the adaptation of archaeal proteins to low temperatures, we purified and characterized the elongation factor 2 (EF-2) protein…
Using scaling theory, we investigate the equilibrium behavior of a melt of functionalized chains, nonfunctionalized polymers, and two infinite, planar surfaces, which model clay sheets. The functionalized chains contain two end groups (one at each chain end) that are highly attracted to the surfaces. We calculate the…
The π-orbital electronic structure of polyhex carbon tori constructed from bent individual single-wall nanotubes is investigated within the tight-binding approach. Analytical solutions for tori from nanotubes of arbitrary radius, length, chirality, and twisting angle are derived using simple geometrical and band-struc…
The dissociation behavior of dilute, immiscible Cu-alloy thin films is found to fall into three broad categories that correlate most closely with the form of the Cu-rich end of the binary alloy phase diagrams. Available thermodynamic and tracer diffusion data shed further light on alloy behavior. Eight alloying elemen…

The frequency dependent hyperpolarizability of typical donor–acceptor organic nonlinear optical molecules is commonly represented by a nonresonant two-level model, first presented by Oudar and Chemla. We discuss how this model can be extended into the resonant regime, including cases where the molecular transition is…
A simple density functional approach is used to calculate the surface tension and density profiles of the interface between demixed fluid phases for a model colloid-polymer mixture. Using an effective one-component Hamiltonian for the colloids, obtained by integrating out the degrees of freedom of the polymer, we find…
The lattice heating effect on the kinetics of attaining the steady state of hot carrier thermoelectric power in a p-n junction is theoretically studied. It is shown that lattice heating leads to an additional third stage in the process of attaining the steady state in thermal currents and the thermoelectric power of h…
A macroscopic theory for the dynamics of compressible nematic polymer-viscous fluid interfaces is developed from first principles. The theory is used to define and characterize the basic interfacial viscoelastic material properties of the ordered interfaces. The theory is based on a decomposition of the kinematic fiel…
Abstract This paper demonstrates that the carbon—silica dual phase fillers are comprised of aggregates containing both carbon and silica phases. The silica is shown to be finely distributed among the carbon phases within the aggregates and within the particles of the dual phase aggregates. Analysis of the silicon cont…
Abstract An experimental analysis of hysteresis loss, hysteresis loss ratio and input energy of natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) vulcanizates having variations of loading of carbon black, precipitated silica and clay has been carried out under uniaxial, pure shear and constrained extension modes…
Abstract Alkoxysilanes can be grafted onto an ethylene homopolymer or copolymer to give a moisture crosslinkable polymer. Moisture crosslinking has many benefits over peroxide‐ or irradiation‐induced crosslinking. Simple, conventional equipment allows processing with lower capital investment and less manufacturing spa…
Abstract Phase transfer catalyst coatings have been developed that increase the stabilization effectiveness of acid absorbers such as hydrotalcite and Type A zeolite in combination with lead stabilizers, and also with organotin stabilizers having structures that previously did not provide synergistic effects with acid…
A theoretical model taking into account the photoisomerization influence on the nematic scalar order parameter is presented. An extension of the Maier-Saupe model is used to investigate the concentration dependence of the scalar order parameter. The evolution of the concentration of cis-trans isomers and of the scalar…
