Deposition of low surface energy plasma polymer layers onto microroughened PTFE substrates is found to give rise to high repellency toward polar and nonpolar probe liquids. This behavior has been interpreted in terms of Wenzels theory and the Cassie−Baxter relationship.
We discuss dynamic hydrophobicity from the perspective of the force required to move a water droplet on a surface and argue that the structure of the three-phase contact line is important. We studied the wettability of a series of silicon surfaces that were prepared by photolithography and hydrophobized using silaniza…
Sodium Bismuth Titanate, Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 (NBT), has the perovskite structure, general formula ABO 3 . This is one of a limited number 1 of perovskite compounds were substitution occurs at the A-cation site, the vast majority substituting on the B-site. NBT was first described by Smolenskii and co-workers 2 , and d…
A method for particle sizing using a commercial spectrophotometer is presented, based on a Rayleigh−Gans−Debye treatment of the wavelength dependence of turbidity. The finite acceptance angle of the spectrophotometer has been taken into account and shown to be potentially advantageous. The method has been used to moni…
The order−disorder and order−order transitions (ODT and OOT) of a series of mixtures of a compositionally asymmetric polystyrene- block -polyisoprene- block -polystyrene copolymer (SIS) ( f PS = 0.131) and low molecular weight PS homopolymers with different molecular weights have been investigated by using transmissio…
The sulphuric acid used for the preparation of the Fricke dosimeter solution may contain trace impurities that can affect the yield of ferric ions. Two methods, pre-irradiation or oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, have been proposed to reduce the influence of these impurities. Fricke users sometimes omit this treatmen…
The catalytically active form of monofunctional yeast orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase was a dimer (E(2)). The dimer equilibrium dissociation constant was 0.25 microM in 0.01 M MOPS Na(+) at pH 7.2. The bimolecular rate constant for dimer formation was 1.56 microM(-1) s(-1). The dimeric form of the enzyme was stab…
Recent progress in the synthesis of bulk quantities of long WS 2 nanotubes has allowed them to be considered as potential candidates in various applications, specifically in nanotechnology. In order to evaluate their efficacy in such applications and to obtain a better insight into their growth mechanism, morphologica…
A series of new diazamesocyclic ligands based on a diazamesocycle, 1,5-diazacyclooctane (DACO), functionalized by additional donor groups--1,5-bis(N-1-methylimidazol-2-ylmethyl)-1,5- diazacyclooctane (L1), 1-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane (HL2), 1,5-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,5-diazacyclooctane (H2L3), and 1-(N-1-…
An AB 2 type monomer, an isomeric mixture of 3,5-bis(4-aminophenoxy)diphenyl ether-3‘,4‘-dicarboxylic acid monomethyl ester ( 6 ), was synthesized starting from 3,5-dimethoxyphenol. A hyperbranched polyamic acid methyl ester precursor was prepared from self-polycondensation of the AB 2 type monomer in the presence of…

X-ray diffraction studies on poly(ferrocenylenedimethylsilylene), PFDMS, indicate a 3D crystalline phase with monoclinic packing of the macromolecules with possible unit cell parameters a = 13.29 Å, b = 6.01 Å, c = 13.9 Å, and γ = 93.6° . There are two main chains with four monomer units per unit cell, X-ray crystal d…
A series of poly(3,4-alkylenedioxypyrrole)s are reported as a new class of electronically conducting polymers exhibiting especially low oxidation potentials from ca. −0.6 to −0.4 V vs Fc/Fc + (equivalent to −0.15 to +0.05 V vs SCE) as desired for ambient stability of the doped and conducting states. These polymers exh…
Modulated differential scanning calorimetry was used to probe the thermal behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) adsorbed onto silica from solution and subsequently dried. Changes in the glass transition were studied as a function of the adsorbed amount and solvent system used to deposit the polymer. The glass t…
An efficient method for calculating the electronic structure of systems that need a very fine sampling of the Brillouin zone is presented. The method is based on the variational optimization of a "single" (i.e. common to all points in the Brillouin zone) basis set for the expansion of the electronic orbitals. Consider…
The semi-classical Lifshitz-Kosevich (LK) description of quantum oscillations is extended to a multiband two-dimensional Fermi liquid with a constant number of electrons. The amplitudes of novel oscillations with combination frequencies, recently predicted and observed experimentally, are analytically derived and comp…
An approach is proposed to determine parameters of homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening for reflection lines of quasi-two-dimensional excitons in semiconductor quantum well structures. A phenomenological model is developed taking into account fluctuations of the exciton energy which are expected to cause inhomogen…
Constitutive equations are derived for the viscoelastoplastic response of amorphous glassy polymers at isothermal loading with small strains. A polymer is treated as an ensemble of cooperatively relaxing regions (CRR) which rearrange at random times as they are thermally agitated. Rearrangement of CRRs reflects the vi…
Nanometer-sized metal particles (e.g., gold and silver) are certain to be important fundamental building blocks of future nanoscale electronic and optical devices. However, there are numerous challenges and questions which must be addressed before nanoparticle technologies can be implemented successfully. For example,…
The complete crystallography of a one-dimensional crystal of potassium iodide encapsulated within a 1.6-nanometer-diameter single-walled carbon nanotube has been determined with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Individual atoms of potassium and iodine within the crystal were identified from a phase im…
