An electrolytic gel coating on AISI 316L stainless steel sheets has been investigated. The coating was produced by reduction of a aqueous solution. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TGA and DTA, respectively) of the as‐formed electrolytic gel coating were conducted between 298 and 1373 K. Three tran…

However, no theoretical analysis of the photodecomposition alignment mechanism has been carried out. The photochemical mechanism is different for photopolymerization and photodecomposition, but the origin of the photoalignment of the LC is a UV dichroic absorption of the alignment material molecules. Therefore, we app…

Hydrogen adsorbed on Ru/ZrO 2 was studied by FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy. While the Ru−H (Ru−D) species was not observed, the H 2 O (D 2 O)-like species was formed by H 2 (D 2 ) introduction on ZrO 2 . The H 2 O (D 2 O)-like species was characterized by a band at around 1600 (1190) cm -1 due to the…

New hyperbranched organosilicon polymers have been prepared from 2-bromo-5-(trimethoxysilyl)thiophene. The intermediate alkoxy-substituted hyperbranched polymer is functionalized with Grignard reagents in situ, leading to the isolation of a series of air- and moisture-stable polymers. The polymers contain alternating…

Milling of V 2 O 5 in a ball mill increased the surface area from 7 to a maximum of 32 m 2 /g. Simultaneously, XRD line broadening suggested a reduction of the microcrystallites. A color change during milling indicated oxygen loss, and Raman spectroscopy provided evidence for the formation of shear structures such as…

The isothermal crystallization of isotactic polypropylenes has been studied under static conditions and under shear flow. The shear was induced by displacement of a glass fibre in the molten polymer. An α-monoclinic crystalline phase was formed with a columnar organization at the surface of the glass fibre, which did…
