Blends of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) were prepared in a co-rotating twin screw miniextruder (40 rpm, 200°). It was attempted to prepare multiblock copolymers by allowing a controlled number of transesterification reactions. Various cat-alysts (n-Bu3SnOMe, Sn(Oct)2, Ti(OBu)4, Y(Oct)3, para-to…

An affinity membrane was prepared from a porous cellulose membrane, and adsorption and recovery of serum proteins were investigated from the viewpoint that affinity membranes are efficacious against separation and purification of biomaterials. Into the cellulose membrane, iminodiacetate (IDA) group that acts as a liga…

Microbial enzymes are enabling new technologies for processing pulps and fibers. Xylanases reduce the amount of chemicals required for bleaching; cellulases smooth fibers, enhance drainage, and promote ink removal; lipases reduce pitch; lignin-degrading enzymes remove lignin from pulps. Several of these processes are…

Polyurethanes are one of the most important classes of thermoplastic elastomers and have been widely used in medical-device manufacturing as well as in other applications. However, their function can be limited, particularly under environmental conditions that render them susceptible to hydrolysis. Using polymeric add…

Composites with polypropylene (PP) and jute fiber were prepared by injection molding technique. Maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene was added as coupling agent to improve the adhesion between jute fiber and PP. A high fiber attrition was noted during injection molding, which had negative effects on the mechanical p…

Using coherent anti-Stokes Raman and linear absorption spectroscopy we present experimental evidence for a novel electron trapping mechanism in Sm doped CaF2. The appearance of additional Raman lines after ionization of the Sm2+ ions, their dependence on the Sm3+ concentration and their behavior due to an enhancement…

We will discuss the meaning of piezo-, pyro-, ferro- and antiferroelectricity (defined for solids) and their possible appearance in the liquid state. We will do this using general symmetry principles as a starting point. The arguments will also be used for the prediction of non-linear optical properties in the liquid…

Anelastic relaxations of amorphous Zr65Al7.5Cu27.5 have been studied in the range of the glass transition and in the supercooled liquid. Applying a force step function, an anelastic aftereffect of the form exp(t/τ)β (Kohlrausch–Williams–Watts function) is expected with an exponent β<1. From the measurement a va…

The reorientation of a nearly spherical paramagnetic tracer dissolved in supercooled o-terphenyl is studied by electron spin resonance in the range 200 K < T < 370 K. For T > 300 K the rotational correlation time tau(2) follows the Debye-Stokes-Einstein law. On decreasing the temperature, the rotational motio…

Crystallographic studies on adenylate kinase (AK) suggest that binding of ATP causes the LID domain of the enzyme to close over the ATP molecule (Schlauderer et al. (1996) J. Mol. Biol. 256, 223-227). The method of time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer was applied to study the proposed structural change…

We examine the effect of dipolar interactions on the liquid-crystalline phase behaviour of L/D = 5 hard spherocylinders with a terminal point dipole. The hard spherocylinder consists of a cylinder of length L and diameter D with hemispherical caps on each end; the point dipole is located at the centre of the hemispher…

The effects of an applied magnetic field during anodization on the structural and optical isotropy of luminescent porous silicon (PS) are investigated. The PS layers are prepared by anodizing p-type Si wafers in HF solutions with an external magnetic field of 0–1.7 T applied perpendicular to the Si surface. It is show…

A qualitative description of a spinodal decomposition kinetics is proposed. It is made of a linear stage followed by two nonlinear stages, leading, respectively, to higher and lower frequency generation in the spatial order parameter distribution, then followed by the classical Ostwald ripening. This general scheme is…

A structure reminiscent of the YBa2Cu3O7 superconductor is shown by the novel reduced manganese perovskite YBaMn2O5 (on the right), in which double layers of MnO5 square pyramids enclose the Ba2+ ions (large spheres), while Y3+ ions (medium-sized black spheres) lie between the layers. Unlike many oxidized Mn perovskit…
