Abstract The phenomenon of storage hardening in solid natural rubber (NR) is presumed to occur by means of reactions between some non-rubber components and abnormal groups in rubber molecule. The main non-rubber constituents in NR are composed of proteins and lipids. The storage hardening behavior of NR purified by en…

Base metal technology, mainly using Ni electrodes in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), is now well established. This technology requires a so‐called reoxidation treatment after sintering the MLCCs in a reducing atmosphere to guarantee a sufficient electrical reliability. Large numbers of electrodes, and productio…

A soluble photoreactive polyimide (PSPI) bearing the coumarin (COU) chromophore in the side group, 6F-HAB-COU PSPI, was successfully synthesized with a high molecular weight. Good quality films of this PSPI were obtained using a conventional solution spin-casting and drying process. 6F-HAB-COU PSPI was determined to b…

The particle size distribution polydispersities of a number of macro- and mini-emulsion latexes are reported. In cases where the macro-emulsion and mini-emulsions were produced under very nearly identical conditions, the mini-emulsion will have a polydispersity equal to, or only very slightly greater than, the equival…

Abstract In an ultrasonic processor, the input electrical energy undergoes many transformations before getting converted into the cavitation energy, which is dissipated in the medium to bring out the physical/chemical change. An investigation of the influence of free and dissolved gas content of the system on the effi…

In this, the last of a series of three papers, we discuss a method of forming iron phosphate ceramics by a reduction process. We report the formation of iron oxide ceramics by reducing hematite with iron in a phosphoric acid solution. The reaction results in a rapid‐setting ceramic (at room temperature) with a compres…

Abstract: Impact tensile properties of three different wrought magnesium alloys (AZ31B‐F, AZ61A‐F and ZK60A‐T5) are evaluated using the split Hopkinson bar. Reliable tensile stress–strain data up to fracture in the extrusion direction at strain rates of nearly 1000 s −1 are presented and compared with those at quasi‐s…

Phase transitions in Ti-6Al-4V were studied by means of high temperature X-ray diffraction using a resistance heated furnace in high vacuum and Cu Kα radiation. The α and β phases could be observed conveniently using the (10.0), (00.2) and (10.1) peaks of the α structure and the (110) peak of the β. The phase composit…

We have previously reported that L-proline has cryoprotective activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A freeze-tolerant mutant with L-proline accumulation was recently shown to carry an allele of the PRO1 gene encoding gamma-glutamyl kinase, which resulted in a single amino acid substitution (Asp154Asn). Interestingly,…
