The theory of depletion flocculation in colloid + nonadsorbing polymer mixtures is extended to cover size polydispersity of the polymer. The case of colloid + binary polymer mixture is studied in detail. The main conclusion is that phase separation is enhanced in a colloid + binary polymer mixture when compared with a…

A structural characterization of two series of ferroelectric low molar mass organosiloxanes is described. X-ray and dilatometry studies have been used to determine the impact of variations in mono- or di-mesogen architecture, halogen substitution and siloxane content on the mesophase structure and thermal behaviour. A…

We show that a conventional continuum formulation of the equations and boundary conditions for the spreading of a pure molten material over a cold, solid substrate of its own kind has no meaningful solution for the angle of attack θs of the fusion front at the contact line, which is the quantity that determines contac…

Abstract The “C” family of alloys, the original being Hastelloy® alloy C (1930's) was an innovative optimization of NiCr alloys having good resistance to oxidizing corrosive media and NiMo alloys with superior resistance to reducing corrosive media. This combination resulted in the most versatile corrosion resistant a…

In this paper we report on crystal growth and the electrical characterization of the compounds CuGaTe2, CuInTe2 and their solid solutions CuIn1—xGaxTe2. Single crystals were obtained by zone melting and a vertical Bridgman technique. From resistivity and Hall effect measurements in the temperature range of 35 to 400 K…

We study the self-organization of a polydisperse A−B multiblock copolymer melt with repulsive interactions between the different monomers. In the framework of the one-loop (Hartree) approximation we consider the influence of the polydispersity parameter u, which is the ratio of the first two moments of the block lengt…

We propose a theoretical model that successfully describes numerically such major features of the electrical conductivity of the surface of ice as its magnitude and frequency dependence. Comparison of the model with experimental results on σ s confirms that the magnitudes of the ice surface charge density and ice surf…

Abstract An Fe-berthierine occurs in a buried laterite from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) in southwestern Minnesota. It formed beneath a lignitic horizon in which reducing solutions percolated through a laterite comprising gibbsite, kaolinite and goethite. Morphologic differences suggest 2 separate conditions of Fe…

For the first time, it has been observed that tin island films used in surface infrared experiments give rise to an electromagnetic enhancement of the infrared absorption spectrum. The surface enhancement of the infrared (SEIR) absorption by tin island films is shown for evaporated nanometric films of 5,14-pentacenedi…
