Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/water‐soluble chitosan (ws‐chitosan) hydrogels were prepared by a combination of γ‐irradiation and freeze thawing. The thermal and rheological properties of these hydrogels were compared with those of hydrogels prepared by pure irradiation and pure freeze thawing. Irradiation reduced…

We present an accurate comparative analysis of N 2 adsorption at 77 K on nonporous silica and the pore wall surface of MCM-41 materials. The analysis shows that in the low-pressure region of N 2 adsorption obeys a peculiar mechanism governed by short-ranged forces, which makes the surface curvature effect on the N 2 a…

The method of step-by-step formation of correlated 3D phase optical structures is presented. Surface relief gratings (SRG) recorded in azobenzene polymer layers are alternated with layers of a spacer polymer with a different refractive index. A pair of azobenzene and spacer polymers with excellent compatibility makes…

Steam explosion technique was used to isolate banana fibrils from banana fiber. The surface polarity of banana fiber, banana fibril, and chemically-treated banana fibril was investigated by ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy using solvatochromic probe dye molecules. The empirical Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic polarity para…

The process and reaction mechanism of propane dehydrogenation in a proton-conducting fuel cell were studied at 600−700 °C using Y-doped BeCeO 3 as protonic electrolyte and Pt as electrode catalysts. The electrochemical dehydrogenation of propane was in competition with side reactions caused by the gas species (H 2, C…

We propose a surface treatment allowing one to obtain a sliding planar anchoring of nematic (or cholesteric) liquid crystals. It consists of depositing a thin layer of the polymercaptan hardener of an epoxy resin on an isotropic substrate (bare or ITO-coated glass plates). Microscopic observations of defect annihilati…

Abstract A MEL‐type pure‐silica zeolite (PSZ), prepared by spin‐on of nanoparticle suspensions, has been shown to be a promising ultra‐low‐dielectric‐constant ( k ) material because of its high mechanical strength, hydrophobicity, and chemical stability. In our previous works, a two‐stage synthesis method was used to…
