Abstract This paper summarizes recent results obtained on chemical modifications of smectites. These include replacement of exchangeable cations with protons, a process connected with smectite autotransformation – attack of protons on the layers and liberation of central atoms from the octahedral and tetrahedral sheet…
After exploring evolutionary aspects of branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis, the review focuses on the extended leucine biosynthetic pathway as it operates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. First, the genes and enzymes specific for the leucine pathway are considered: LEU4 and LEU9 (encoding the alpha-isopropylmalate syn…
Computer simulation and modeling results for the nanomechanics of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-polyethylene composite materials are described and compared with experimental observations. Young’s modulus of individual single-wall nanotubes is found to be in the range of 1 TPa within the elastic limit. At room t…
Abstract Inorganic clay was investigated as a compatibilizer for immiscible poly(propylene)/polystyrene blends. A substantial decrease in the number of polystyrene particles was seen after adding small amounts of an organically treated clay (2–5 wt.‐%) to the blends. A possible mechanism for this kind of compatibiliza…
We propose a new approach for predicting iron losses in soft magnetic materials with any voltage supply, starting from the knowledge of the iron losses with a sinusoidal or pulsewidth modulation supply. The model is based on the separation of the loss contributions due to hysteresis, eddy currents, and excess losses w…
A simple method is proposed to control the size of alkanethiol-protected Au nanoparticles by heat treatment in the solid state. The mean diameter of the Au nanoparticles prepared by Brust's two-phase method (∼1.5 nm) was evolved to 3.4−9.7 nm by heating to 150−250 °C in air. The uniform growth of nanoparticles was not…
Differences in crystallinity may explain why total Fe (hydr)oxide content has a variable effect on aggregate stability. Therefore, surface soil samples with a range of poorly crystalline Fe (hydr)oxide contents were characterized for water‐stable aggregates >0.25 mm (WSA), mean‐weighted diameter (MWD), soil organic…
The interaction of water and methanol with well-defined (1 × 1) terminated surfaces of anatase-TiO 2 (101) were investigated with temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For water, three desorption states were observed in the TPD spectra at 160, 190, and 250 K. The three des…
We develop an RF circuit model for single walled carbon nanotubes for both dc and capacitively contacted geometries. By modeling the nanotube as a nanotransmission line with distributed kinetic and magnetic inductance as well as distributed quantum and electrostatic capacitance, we calculate the complex, frequency dep…
Our ongoing research on the preparation, characterization, materials properties, and biodegradability of polylactide (PLA)/organically modified layered silicate (OMLS) nanocomposites has yielded results for PLA/organically modified synthetic fluorine mica (OMSFM) nanocomposites. Synthetic fluorine mica (SFM), modified…
Complex permeability spectra μ*=μ′−iμ″ for two types of spinel ferrites (Ni–Zn ferrite and Mn–Zn ferrite) and their composite materials have been investigated. The contribution of domain-wall and natural resonance to the permeability spectra was estimated by the numerical fitting of actual measurement data to a simple…
An overview of the definition and development of, factors that contribute to, applications and markets for and the design of high performance/high temperature polymers is presented. Of the many families of high performance/high temperature polymers known, the most popular families consisting of polyimides, polyarylene…
This paper reports on the swelling and exfoliation behavior of a layered protonic manganese oxide, H(0.13)MnO(2).0.7H(2)O, in a solution of tetrabutylammonium (TBA) hydroxide and the formation and characterizations of unilamellar two-dimensional crystallites of MnO(2). At low doses of TBA ions, layered manganese oxide…
ABSTRACT: In response to the dynamic changes in current consumer demand and market trends, the area of Active Packaging (AP) is becoming increasingly significant. Principal AP systems include those that involve oxygen scavenging, moisture absorption and control, carbon dioxide and ethanol generation, and antimicrobial…
A model based on Rayleigh–Gans–Debye light‐scattering theory has been developed to describe the light transmission properties of fine‐grained, fully dense, polycrystalline ceramics consisting of birefringent crystals. This model extends light transmission models based on geometrical optics, which are valid only for co…
We present a theory of the Fano resonance for optical resonators, based on a temporal coupled-mode formalism. This theory is applicable to the general scheme of a single optical resonance coupled with multiple input and output ports. We show that the coupling constants in such a theory are strongly constrained by ener…

A new rewritable and initialization-free AgO x -type super-resolution structure was proposed and studied. Results show better reflectivity and carrier-to-noise ratio than the previously reported structure.
Anticorrosion performance of various amino-terminated aniline oligomers cured with epoxy resin as coatings on cold-rolled steel has been investigated systematically using two industrial standard tests, i.e., salt spray (ASTM B117-97) and cyclic UV-salt fog exposures (ASTM D5894-96). Data are evaluated based on the sta…
Blue emission was observed from thin films of barium chloride hydrate doped with cerium. The films were deposited by spray pyrolysis of aqueous solutions with substrate temperatures between 250 and 450 °C. The cathodoluminescence (CL) spectrum consists of two peaks at 443 and 485 nm due to 4f-5d transitions of cerium…
