Abstract Fully miscible poly(ether imide) (PEI)/poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) blends were obtained by melt mixing in an extruder followed by injection moulding. The viscosity of PEI, represented by the pressure at the extruder output, almost halved upon the addition of only 10% PTT, allowing the use of PEI in…
Abstract The microstructures of as-cast and slowly solidified Al–Cu–Fe ternary alloys in the vicinity of the icosahedral phase region have been investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The chemical composition of the different phases present has been determined by energy-dispersive X-ray s…
In this paper, high-resolution tomographic synchrotron X-ray imaging is applied to study the occurrence and evolution of damage in Ti-6Al-4V/SCS6 SiC fibre composite materials. Three composite morphologies of increasing complexity have been studied, namely single fibre, single-ply and multi-ply composites. The single…
A quasistatic penetration test is designed and implemented to provide insight into the evolution and phenomenology of fabric deformation and failure during penetration. The results are needed to guide development of a physics-based computational model of fabric response to projectile impact. The test involves slowly p…
Abstract A polymeric film of a biodegradable poly( p ‐dioxanone) was grown from 490 nm silica particles by monolayer formation via self‐assembly of hydroxy‐terminated triethoxysilane and subsequent surface‐initiated ring‐opening polymerization of p ‐dioxanone. The resulting silica/poly( p ‐dioxanone) hybrid particles…
Succinyl-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin (Suc-LLVY-AMC), a fluorogenic endopeptidase substrate, is used to detect 20 S proteasomal activity from Archaea to mammals. An o-phenanthroline-sensitive Suc-LLVY-AMC hydrolyzing activity was detected in Escherichia coli although it lacks 20 S proteasomes. We identifie…
In this work results relevant to electrical treeing tests performed on several ethylvinylacetate EVA (with different vinylacetate percentage) and on cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) (of two different lots) polymer materials are presented. During the tree growth the partial discharges (PDs) were monitored by means of a…
Abstract Three new pregnane glycosides, cynatroside A ( 1 ), cynatroside B ( 2 ), and cynatroside C ( 3 ), isolated from the roots of Cynanchum atratum (Asclepiadaceae), were characterized as 7 β ‐{[ O ‐ α ‐ L ‐cymaropyranosyl‐(1→4)‐ O ‐ β ‐ D ‐digitoxopyranosyl‐(1→4)‐ β ‐ D ‐oleandropyranosyl]oxy}‐3,4,4a,4b,5,6,7,8,1…
Recently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), possessing excellent properties as field emitters, are attracting considerable attention as electron emitters of a cold cathode. In this review article, field emission phenomena of carbon nanotubes with various morphologies and surfaces (clean surface or adsorbed molecules on it) rev…
Abstract Various protonic zeolites (H‐Y, H‐ZSM‐5, and H‐MOR) were tested for the total combustion of dichloromethane (DCM) as a model reaction for the catalytic destruction of chlorinated organic pollutants. The order of catalytic activity decreased in the following order: H‐MOR > H‐ZSM‐5 > H‐Y. Strong Brønsted…
The regulatory domain of the bifunctional threonine-sensitive aspartate kinase homoserine dehydrogenase contains two homologous subdomains defined by a common loop-alpha helix-loop-beta strand-loop-beta strand motif. This motif is homologous with that found in the two subdomains of the biosynthetic threonine-deaminase…
To capitalise on the strengthening potential of zirconium as a potent grain refiner for magnesium alloys, the mechanisms of adding zirconium to magnesium and its subsequent grain refining action need to be understood. Using a Mg- 33.3Zr master alloy (Zirmax supplied by Magnesium Elektron Ltd) as a zirconium alloying a…
The carbon nanotubes possess many unique mechanical and electrical properties, and have been appreciated as new advanced materials for nanocomposite structures, particularly for the development of nanocomposite films. Nanotubes may also be used as nano-reinforcements for matrix system for fibre-reinforced plastic stru…
A study was carried out to understand the influence of the surface characteristics/microstructure of a type 304 stainless steel on bacterial adhesion by exposing solution-annealed, sensitized and air-oxidized stainless steel specimens in a culture of Pseudomonas sp. in dilute nutrient broth. Epifluorescence microscopy…
We report a phenomenological model to analyze the room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra observed from silicon nanostructures. We have explicitly incorporated the effects of localized surface states along with quantum confinement effects to obtain an analytical expression for the photoluminescence spectra. No…
Bulk specimens of precursor‐derived silicon carbide (SiC) suitable for mechanical‐property measurements were prepared from allylhydridopolycarbosilane (AHPCS), which is a commercially available, hyperbranched polycarbosilane. Crack‐free pellets were obtained by cold‐pressing mixtures of finely ground, 1000°C pyrolyzed…
Abstract Monte Carlo computer simulations have been performed for model polymers containing randomly distributed spherical filler particles (20% in volume) with diameter between 4 times and 28 times the transverse diameter of the chains. By analyzing the results in conjunction with those of previous simulations, a few…
Abstract Use of proper constitutive equations for the intrinsic behavior of glassy polymers (including yield, strain softening and hardening) allows nowadays for analyzing the mechanical response of homogeneous and heterogeneous polymer systems in great detail. Analyses are performed on both the periodic RVE, represen…
A combination of steady-state and time-resolved techniques has been used to investigate the mechanism of the decatungstate (W 10 O 32 4- ) photocatalyzed oxygenation of cyclohexene, and of a series of hexene isomers, as well as of their saturated counterparts, in acetonitrile. It is demonstrated that (i) alkenes react…
Effective heat dissipation is crucial to enhance the performance and reliability of electronic devices. In this work, the performance of encapsulants filled with carbon fiber was studied and compared with silica filled encapsulants. Encapsulants filled with mixed combination of fillers for optimizing key properties we…
