Compounds containing 6.3–6.5 wt % H and thermally stable in vacuum up to 500°C were obtained by annealing graphite nanofibers and single-walled carbon nanotubes in hydrogen atmosphere under a pressure of 9 GPa at temperatures up to 45°C. A change in the X-ray diffraction patterns indicates that the crystal lattice of…

A model of simultaneous transport in hygroscopic porous materials was developed. Water in fabrics is considered to be present in three forms: liquid water in the void space between fibers, bound water in the fibers, and vapor. It is assumed that the heat and mass transport mechanisms include movement of liquid water d…

Abstract Amide groups were anchored covalently on the surface of ethylene‐ co ‐acrylic acid (EAA) copolymer film by surface grafting of amino acid intermediates. The process consisted of four steps: conversion of carboxylic acid groups on the EAA surface to acid chloride groups, amino acid attachment, conversion of am…

Abstract Summary: The non‐isothermal crystallization of intercalated poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/clay nanocomposites was investigated quantitatively by different methods. Non‐isothermal crystallization of pure PTT can be described by the Ozawa equation, but the Ozawa theory is not valid for PTT/clay nanocom…

When NbC–30 wt% Co powder compact is sintered at various temperatures where NbC grains (with small amounts of Co) coexist with a liquid Co–NbC matrix, the NbC grains undergo a surface roughening transition with temperature increase and the grain growth changes from abnormal to normal growth. When sintered at 1400°C, t…

A new organic-based magnet, V[TCNP]2.yCH2Cl2 (TCNP = tetracyanopyrazine), has been synthesized, and its magnetic properties have been examined. The amorphous nature of V[TCNP]2.yCH2Cl2 makes it difficult to determine the structure of the material; however, ac and dc magnetic measurements indicate that it is a ferrimag…
