Soluble conductive polypyrrole (PPy) with room temperature conductivity (2–18 S/cm) has been synthesized by doping polypyrrole with mixed acid containing camphor sulfonic acid (CSA) and dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA). The solubility and the room temperature conductivity of PPy doped with mixed acid were measured…
Trisdipicolinate coordination complexes of europium(III), Eu(dpa) 3 3-, have chiral, three-bladed propeller-like structures with either left-handed or right-handed structural helicity about a 3-fold symmetry axis. The left- and right-handed forms of these structures, labeled here as Λ and Δ, respectively, are structur…
As a first step toward the computer simulation of polydisperse polymeric melts, a lattice model containing two types of chains with lengths N 1 = 20 − x and N 2 = 20 + 4 x (0 ≤ x ≤ 10 ) is studied. This variation of x, together with the fixed composition of 80% of short and 20% of long chains, leads to a polydispersit…
Some technical properties (static mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties, creep-recovery behavior, thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity) of low-density foams (50 kg/m3) made of blends of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) were studied as a function of th…
We have investigated the morphology developed in the ordering process for a nearly symmetric polystyrene- block -polyisoprene diblock copolymer when the copolymer is rapidly brought from a disordered state to an ordered state. The ordering process was explored as a function of time and temperature primarily by transmi…
The structure and morphology of nylon 9,2 has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, and X-ray diffraction. A unit cell with parameters a = 5.45 Å, b = 8.7 Å, c (chain axis) = 31.8 Å, and β = 47.9° was determined and a C 12 /c 1 space group is postulated. Chain co…
The kinetics of the enzymatic degradation of bacterial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is studied using PHB-depolymerase A from Pseudomonas lemoignei (Tris−HCl buffer, pH = 8, T = 37 °C). Biodegradation experiments are performed on PHB in the form of both compression-molded films and powder suspension. From WAXS and DSC…
We compute phase diagrams for A n B m starblock copolymers in the strong-segregation regime as a function of volume fraction φ, including bicontinuous phases related to minimal surfaces (G, D, and P surfaces) as candidate structures. We present the details of a general method to compute free energies in the strong seg…
We consider surfaces protected by polymer chains of N monomers grafted at a density σ, that are immersed in a melt of chemically similar chains of polymerization index P . We have used the self-consistent field approximation to analyze the practically useful (but analytically untractable) case of moderately long melt…
We study the dependence of the intramolecular M I −M I interaction on electron correlation effects in eight-membered rings of type [M 2 (PH 2 CH 2 PH 2 ) 2 ] 2+, [M 2 (NHCHNH) 2 ], [M 2 (SCHS) 2 ] (M = Au, Ag, Cu), [Au 2 (PH 2 CH 2 PH 2 ) 2 ]Cl 2, halogenometal(I) [M 2 X 4 ] 2 - (M = Au, Ag, Cu; X = Cl, Br, I), and [A…
The cloud points of various amorphous polyether, polyacrylate, and polysiloxane homopolymers, and a variety of commercially available block copolymers, were measured in CO 2 at temperatures from 25 to 65 °C and pressures of ca. 1000−6000 psia. Almost without exception, the solubility of amorphous polymers increases wi…
The effect of specific ionic interactions on the Debye length has been studied using a simple model Hamiltonian for a binary mixture of anions and cations in the framework of the field theory. The Hamiltonian contains the Coulombic interaction and an independent non-Coulombic part describing a binary mixture of equiva…
The orientation and the axial, Deltachiax, and rhombic, Deltachirh, components of the magnetic susceptibility tensor anisotropy for the cobalt(II) and nickel(II) derivatives of azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been determined from 1H NMR data. For both derivatives, the axial geometry of the system determines th…
We have conducted a first principles density functional theory (DFT) calculation to explore the electronic structure of sodalite at various stages of Al-substitution. By calculating the electronic structure of both substituted and unsubstituted frameworks, with and without the presence of extra-framework atoms, we sho…
The conformational properties of five gadolinium(III) complexes with polyamino carboxylate (PAC) ligands used as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents have been investigated by ab initio and molecular mechanics (MM) methods. Ab initio calculations were performed using an effective core potential (ECP) that includ…
The concentration at the interface of a growing or dissolving crystal has been previously found experimentally to be different from the equilibrium value; however, a method for predicting this concentration has not been available. We report an investigation that uses statistical rate theory to obtain the expression fo…
The methionine analogue 2-amino-5-hexenoic acid (homoallylglycine, Hag) can be utilized by Escherichia coli in the initiation and elongation steps of protein biosynthesis. Use of an E. coli methionine auxotroph and Hag-supplemented medium resulted in replacement of ca. 85% of the methionine residues in mouse dihydrofo…
Comprised of ferromagnetic edge-sharing CuO$_2$ chains that order in antialigned fashion at T$_N$=9 K, Li$_2$CuO$_2$ is found from local spin density calculations to display several surprising characteristics: (1) the ordered moment/f.u. of 0.92 $μ_B$ is the largest for any low dimensional cuprate system, in agreement…
An explanation of the anomalous concentration dependence of diffuse scattering from the Pt-V alloy system (splitting of the (100) short-range order intensity peak with increasing Pt content) is proposed. The effect is attributed to the competition between the interaction and self-energy curvatures. A similar temperatu…
We present a first-principles calculation of the electronic properties of crystalline silicon and gallium arsenide in a uniform electric field. Polarized Wannier-like functions which are confined in a finite region are obtained by minimizing a total-energy functional which depends explicitly on the macroscopic polariz…
