Abstract The alkyd resins of three different compositions based on nahar seed oil ( Mesua ferrea ), phthalic anhydride, and maleic anhydride were synthesized by an alcoholysis method. These alkyd resins were blended with a commercially available epoxy resin (Araldite 250, Ciba Geigy, Mumbai, India) separately to study…

We report results for the electronic structures of extended silver single-wall nanotubes (AgSWNTs) within a first-principles, all-electron self-consistent local density functional approach adapted for helical symmetry. We carried out calculations on twenty-one different AgSWNTs ranging in radii from approximately $1.3…

Electronic correlations are manifested in many-body effects like superconductivity and magnetism. Established theoretical concepts show that the Coulomb and exchange interaction result in a tendency of two electrons to avoid each other, leading to an exchange-correlation (xc) hole. We will report on double photoemissi…

This work shows that mesoporous polymeric films with spherical and elliptical pores can be obtained by in situ structure inversion of the azo polymer colloid arrays through selective interaction with solvent. The epoxy-based azo polymer contained both the pseudo-stilbene-type azo chromophores and the hydrophilic carbo…

We report on the low-temperature properties of the ternary europium pnictide $\mathrm{Eu}{\mathrm{Zn}}_{2}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{2}$. Bulk properties were characterized in terms of the electrical resistivity, magnetoresistance, Hall effect, magnetization, specific heat, and thermal expansion. The data are consistent with an a…

A 40 kD protein has been extracted from the biomineral matrix of the calcium carbonate gastropod shell of Strombus decorus persicus. The protein was isolated by decalcification and ion exchange HPLC. We have named this protein ACLS40, i.e., aragonite crossed-lamellar structure protein. A partial sequence of the isolat…

This study investigated the feasibility of using selected dendrimers for the removal of lead (Pb 2+ ) from three contaminated soils. Lead removal was tested in a fixed-bed column setup, where a prescribed dendrimer solution was passed through a lead-loaded soil bed. Effects of dendrimer generation, concentration, type…

We have investigated the cause of catalyst deactivation observed during surface-confined atom-transfer radical polymerization of acidic monomers. Surface-tethered polyelectrolyte layers of poly(itaconic acid) and poly(methacrylic acid) were grown from self-assembled initiator monolayers of 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide te…

Stimulated Stokes emission has been observed from silicon crystals doped by antimony donors when optically excited by radiation from a tunable infrared free electron laser. The photon energy of the emission is equal to the pump photon energy reduced by the energy of the intervalley transverse acoustic (TA) g phonon in…

Abstract Copolymers of ethene and 1‐octene, 1‐dodecene, 1‐octadecene, and 1‐hexacosene were carried out with [Ph 2 C(2,7‐di‐ tert BuFlu)(Cp)]ZrCl 2 /methylalumoxane as a catalyst to obtain short‐chain branched polyethylenes with branch lengths of 6–26 carbon atoms. This catalyst provided high activity and a very good…
