This paper studied the thermal-induced phase separation (TIPS) phenomenon via spinodal decomposition (SD) in a polymer solution under a linear concentration gradient. The one-dimensional model consists of the Cahn–Hilliard theory for SD and incorporates the Flory–Huggins free energy equation, the slow mode mobility th…
Hybrid catalytic membrane systems have been produced by modifying porous ceramic membranes with metal oxide films. A two-layer cermet membrane consisting of a flexible stainless steel layer and an overlying porous TiO 2 ceramic layer and a ceramic titanium carbide membrane are examined. The membrane surfaces have been…
Scatterometry takes advantage of the sensitivity exhibited by optical diffraction from periodic structures, and hence is an efficient technique for lithographic process monitoring. A feature region measurement algorithm has been developed to extract accurately and quickly the relevant constitutive parameters from diff…
Two novel co-polymers based on omega-pentadecalactone were enzymatically synthesized by a combination of ring-opening polymerization and polycondensation. Modified literature procedures enabled the production of the semi-crystalline materials with suitable molecular weights and melting characteristics. Microspheres we…
The synthesis and photophysical properties of a new terpyridine-based europium(III) chelate (Eu (TMT)-AP3) designed for peptide and protein labelling in aqueous solution phase is described. In order to obtain a stable, easy to handle, versatile and efficient labelling agent, a reactive aminopropargyl arm has been intr…
A series of polyurethaneurea (PUU) aqueous dispersions, which were stable at ambient temperature for more than 1 year, were prepared with C 36 ‐dimer‐fatty‐acid‐based polyester polyol, isophorone diisocyanate, dimethylol propionic acid, and ethylenediamine. The particle size of all these PUU (DPU) aqueous dispersions…
A Schiff base monomer was synthesized by the condensation reaction between salicylaldehyde and ethylenediamine. The Schiff base polymer, with a double azomethine group, was prepared by oxidative polycondensation (OP) reaction of monomer in aqueous alkaline medium with NaOCl as an oxidant at 90°C. The monomer and polym…
Wettability and penetration kinetics of liquid into porous material were studied by the capillary rise method. The mass gain of the penetrating liquid in a tube filled with glass beads was measured vs. time. Two types of glass beads surfaces: unmodified (smooth), modified (rough), were used to investigate the influenc…
Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is one of the most efficient techniques of severe plastic deformation for the production of bulk ultrafine-grained metals. During the last decade the intensive developments of ECAP have been associated with numerous modifications of the die-set design as well as establishing new p…
Using a first-principles total energy method based on density functional theory within local density approximation, we have performed a first-principles computational tensile test (FPCTT) on an Al grain boundary. The theoretical tensile strength of the Al grain boundary is calculated to be 9.5 GPa at the strain of 16%…
Hexagonal columnar liquid-crystalline phases are induced for a new fan-shaped spiropyran compound as the result of an acidichromism effect of spiro-merocyanine isomerisation through protonation upon incorporation of 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid.
We present a study of antireflective schemes and their operation over a full day. We compare simulation results for single and double layer antireflective coatings with bio-mimetic moth-eye structures, taking into account the full range of wavelengths and incident angles experienced by fixed solar cells from sunrise t…
Hydrogen peroxide was electrogenerated in-situ in aqueous bicarbonate solutions for the epoxidation of alkenes using Mn2+ as the catalyst. Water-soluble alkenes were epoxidized with excellent yields and high current efficiencies. The catalytic system could be adapted for the epoxidation of lipophilic alkenes in tert-b…
A series of uni-axial tensile cycling tests were conducted at room temperature in superelastic NiTi strip specimens with nano-grain size. The NiTi superelastic strip specimen’s Apparent Young’s Modulus (AYM) and the critical stress decrease when the specimen is subjected to an external uni-axial stress and the strain…
Effective permittivities of a metallic periodic structure for which the second-order effective-medium theory does not yield correct results were obtained by numerically fitting to rigorous-coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). The calculated effective medium showed good agreement with RCWA and minimal deviation in the long-wa…
The detailed magnetic behaviors of the ferro- (1FO) and metamagnetic (1MM) phases of [FeCp*2][TCNE] (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienide; TCNE = tetracyanoethylene) aligned parallel to the applied magnetic field, H, were obtained using eicosane (E). The Tc for 1FO is 3.1 K from the maximum in the frequency independent…
Structured poly(glycidyl methracrylate) (poly-GMA) brushes have been grafted onto flexible fluoro-polymer films using a radiation grafting process. The reactive epoxide of poly-GMA provides the basis for a versatile biofunctionalization of the grafted brushes. Structure definition by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) exposure…
The triangular phase in Ti–15V–3Cr–3Sn–3Al is observed after two-step aging. The three-dimensional shape of the phase is a triangular pyramid that is composed of three precipitates. The reason for the formation of the triangular shape is investigated by means of crystallographic analysis and high-resolution TEM observ…
The inhibiting effect of N-furfuryl-N'-phenyl thiourea (FPTU) on the corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solutions of 0.05 and 0.1MHCl, as well as 0.025 and 0.05 M H2SO4 has been demonstrated using the potentiodynamic polarization technique. The polarization data showed that FPTU acts as an efficient anodic inhibitor f…
Saponin-rich extracts of Medicago sativa L. have been shown to display antifungal activity against a range of common fungibut only a few individual saponins have been tested against dermatophytes. Total saponins were separately obtained from roots and aerial parts of Medicago sativa, M. murex, M. arabica and M. hybrid…
