The single‐phase α‐sialon ceramics with high optical transmittance have been prepared by hot pressing. The maximum transmittance reached 65.2% and 52.2% in the infrared wavelength region, 58.5% and 40% in the visible region for the samples 1.0 and 1.5 mm thickness, respectively. The material also exhibited good mechan…

A novel amidase acting on (R,S)-piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide was purified from Pseudomonas sp. MCI3434 and characterized. The enzyme acted R-stereoselectively on (R,S)-piperazine-2-tert-butylcarboxamide to yield (R)-piperazine-2-carboxylic acid, and was tentatively named R-amidase. The N-terminal amino acid sequ…

Waste rubber powder (RP) was processed in a Brabenderpremixer under various conditions in the presence of reclaiming agents toconvert the RP into plastic mass (reclaimed rubber), then the obtained reclaimwas blended with both NR and SBR in different ratios. It was found that thebehavior of the reclaim in both NR and S…

In this work we demonstrate that fine Ti 3 SiC 2 powders can be tape‐cast and/or cold‐pressed and pressureless‐sintered in Ar‐ or Si‐rich atmospheres to produce fully dense, oriented microstructures in which the basal planes are parallel to the surfaces. Carbon‐ and/or Si‐rich environments suppress grain growth. In th…

In this paper, molecular modeling and optimization for the naphtha catalytic reforming process is studied. The catalytic reforming process is for producing high octane number gasoline by reforming reactions in three sequencing fixed bed reactors. Feed naphtha coming from an atmospheric distillation unit consisted of m…

Optical absorption and emission spectra and fluorescence lifetimes were measured for Nd3+ in a series of five oxide glasses. Spectroscopic parameters such as the stimulated-emission cross section, the effective bandwidth of the 4F3/2→4I11/2 transition, and the radiative lifetime of the 4F3/2 level were obtained, and t…

The synthesis and liquid crystalline properties of several new compounds unsymmetrically substituted about two different central phenyl rings are reported. All the compounds contain a strongly polar terminal cyano/nitro substituent. Some of the nitro-substituted compounds derived from 3-hydroxybenzoic acid show a tran…

Abstract In this report, we show that the microstructures of hydrogen‐bonded side‐chain liquid‐crystalline block copolymers can be rapidly aligned in an alternating current (AC) electric field at temperatures below the order–disorder transition but above the glass transition. The structures and their orientation were…

A series-form expression for the individual diffracted field of a general annular ring is derived from the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral. It can be used for the accurate and fast simulation of any diffractive focusing element composed of concentric transparent rings. We present a comprehensive analysis, bas…

This study focuses on the optimal conditions for gamma irradiation to reduce the molecular weight of chitosan but still retain its chemical structure. Chitosan was irradiated under various conditions, i.e. flake solid state (condition 1), flake dispersed in water (condition 2), flake dispersed in 0.05, 0.1, 1 and 2% a…

The use of neutral π-radicals as building blocks for molecular conductors holds both appeal and challenge. Such systems obviate the need for counterions, as charge transfer is not required to generate charge carriers. Essentially an array of π-radicals should function like atoms in an elemental metal, e.g., sodium, af…

Bi 3 NbTiO 9 ceramics were prepared by ordinary firing and by hot‐press sintering. The crystal structures of the ceramics were investigated by X‐ray diffractometry. Scanning electron microscopy observation showed that the platelike grains were oriented after hot pressing. Dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric c…

A simple procedure for the preparation of octadecylsiloxane self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on float glass substrates is described. The method utilizes commercial octadecyltriethoxysilane, OTE: n-C18H37Si(OCH2CH3)3, as the SAM precursor, with deposition accomplished in toluene solution using n-butylamine as catalyst.…

This paper describes the development of so-called all-polypropylene composites, namely polypropylenes (PPs) reinforced with oriented polypropylene fibres rather than glass or natural fibres. These all-polypropylene composites have specific economic and ecological advantages since, upon recycling, a polypropylene blend…

We consider heat exchange processes between non-equilibrium aging systems (in their activated regime) and the thermal bath in contact. We discuss a scenario where two different heat exchange processes concur in the overall heat dissipation: a stimulated fast process determined by the temperature of the bath and a spon…
