We present the concept of principal sections of a lightpipe to analyze the propagation of light through the lightpipe by total internal reflection. Only the principal sections determine the acceptance angle and thus help in the identification of regions where the leakage occurs first. Use of principal sections for ana…

ABSTRACT: Whey protein isolate (5% w/v) films were plasticized with sorbitol or glycerol, and candelilla wax (0.8% w/ v) was added to produce whey protein isolate and candelilla wax emulsion edible films. The films were cut into 7.62 cm × 2.54 cm strips and evaluated by a 15‐member trained sensory panel for milk odor,…

Ferroelectric properties of thin film materials like lead zirconate titanate differ from those observed for bulk material. It is well known that the surface can strongly influence phase transition phenomena. By the use of a thermodynamical approach, very similar to those generally used to describe phase transitions, w…

Dispersions of wheat gluten were prepared at different pHs (4, 6 and 11) in the presence or absence of ethanol. Films were obtained after casting suspensions followed by evaporation of the solvent. Films prepared at pH 11 were significantly stronger than the films prepared at pH 4 and 6 with tensile strengths of appro…

Polycrystalline diamond thick films were subjected to annealing in vacuum at temperatures of 1350–1450 °C. The films were examined by optical absorption, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The formation of amorphous carbon and/or of well-crystallized graphite la…

Abstract The conditions of processing and gas sensing of polyaniline (PANi) blends with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were investigated. Flexible, free‐standing and stretchable films of various blends compositions were obtained by casting. The mechanisms of the conducting ble…

Homogeneous and nanosized (28 nm crystallite size) doped‐ZnO ceramic powders were obtained by a metallorganic polymeric method. Calcining and granulating resulted in green compacts with uniform powder packing and a narrow pore‐size distribution (pore size 19 nm). Dense ceramic bodies (>99% of theoretical) were fabr…

Pb(Zr, Ti)O 3 (PZT) thin films with (100) preferred orientation were prepared using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on LaNiO3 (LNO) buffered platinized Si with thickness varying from 25–100 nm. The dependence of electrical properties of PZT films on thickness was studied using several techniques, including pola…

Abstract An extension has been made of previous analyses of peak area intensities for elemental spectra in digital Auger and x‐ray photoelectron databases. The intensities, instead of being analysed after removal of a background derived from the Tougaard Universal cross‐section, are now analysed after removal of the e…

The photophysical properties of two perylene−porphyrin dyads have been examined in detail with the aim of expanding the functional utility of these constructs for molecular optoelectronics applications. The dyads consist of a perylene-bis(imide) dye (PDI) connected to either a magnesium porphyrin (Mg) or a free base p…

Abstract Many attempts have been made to improve the fracture toughness of brittle materials such as ceramics. Most of the methods developed so far make use of metallurgical processes, for example, phase transformation, refining of grains, formation of composite materials. However, these methods can not be applied uni…

Abstract Raman spectra of LiK 0.8 (NH 4 ) 0.2 SO 4 were obtained as a function of applied pressure. The measurements were carried out using a microscope to focus the light into a spot size of 2 µm, in order to avoid probing a multi‐domain sample. With increasing pressure, many of the Raman peaks are shifted towards hi…

In cases of certain accelerated sulfur vulcanizing systems, the curemeter traces do not run the usual way but consist of two more or less distinct plateaus. The shape of the cure curves was newly evaluated based on cure curve derivation. The latter provides the possibility of distinguishing the inflection points even…
