The internal structure (the monomer density profiles) of weakly charged polyelectrolyte brushes of different morphologies has been analyzed on the basis of the self-consistent-field approach. In contrast to previous studies based on the local electroneutrality approximation valid for sufficiently strongly charged or d…

The packing of cylindrical particles with log‐normal and modified power‐law length distributions has been experimentally studied. The results indicate that the packing density is heavily dependent on the parameters in the two distributions. However, this dependence cannot be predicted by the direct analogy to that for…

The water uptake of nominally 5%‐Yb‐doped strontium zirconate (SrZr 0.95 Yb 0.05 O 3−α ) was studied in situ by thermogravimetry at different temperatures and water vapor pressures. The process could be described in terms of an ideal solution behavior, showing a lower effective vacancy concentration than that expected…

An efficient first-order algorithm with an exact calculation of the gradients is described and applied to the refinement of inhomogeneous dielectric thin films. Numerical results calculated at normal and oblique angles of incidence are correlated with an important mathematical theorem. It is shown that, when appropria…

The aliphatic double bond of poly(2-cinnamoylethyl methacrylate) (PCEMA) displayed a characteristic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) peak at 1640 cm -1 . Polystyrene (PS), together with the phenyl rings of PCEMA, contributed to the peak at 1005 cm -1 . We determined the intensity ratio of these two peaks, i.e.…

DSC measurements have been performed on the monomeric form of yeast hexokinase B in the absence and presence of increasing concentrations of D-glucose. The hexokinase, in the absence of D-glucose, at both pH 8.0 and 8.5, shows reproducible calorimetric profiles characterized by the presence of two partially overlapped…

The spontaneous microcracking of particulate TiB 2 –SiC composites is studied as a function of TiB 2 volume fraction. The degree of microcracking was examined by measuring elastic properties from room temperature to 1300°C. The results showed that only one composition contains microcracks. All other compositions did n…

We have synthesized and studied trisbenzocyclononenes carrying six chiral side chains. They are pyramidic shaped molecules exhibiting columnar mesophases. The optical and electrooptical effects of this chiral pyramidic compound have been studied. A homeotropic alignment of the columnar phase was achieved by cooling th…
