A mechanistic model that interprets the transition in oxidation behavior of zirconium diboride as the temperature is varied from 600°C to 2500°C is presented. Available thermodynamic data and literature data for vapor pressures, oxygen permeability in boria, and viscosity of boria were used to evaluate the model. Thre…
Water-swollen cellulose films prepared from LiOH/urea solution were uniaxially drawn to investigate the effect of orientation on their supramolecular structure and properties. Their structures and properties were investigated with X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy and tensile testing. The results revealed tha…
A set of four hybrid host-guest complexes based on the inorganic crown ether analogue [H12W36O120]12- ({W36}) have been isolated and characterised. The cluster anion features a central rigid binding site made up of six terminal oxygen ligands and this motif allows the selective binding of a range of alkali and alkali-…
Using the nonlinear dependence of sound propagation speed with pressure, we evidence the anomalous elastic softness of a granular packing in the vicinity of the jamming transition. Under gravity and close to a free surface, the acoustic propagation is only possible through surface modes guided by the stiffness gradien…
There is conflicting evidence as to whether cavities in proteins that are nonpolar and large enough to accommodate solvent are empty or are occupied by disordered water molecules. Here, we use multiple-wavelength x-ray data collected from crystals of the selenomethionine-substituted L99A/M102L mutant of T4 lysozyme to…
Catalytic adsorption of SO 2 on activated carbon materials provides an appropriate alternative for the control of low concentration emissions of this air pollutant. The surface complexes formed upon SO 2 adsorption at 30 °C were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed desorption (T…
Spherical Al particles sized in the range of 2 to 5 μm were deposited with an organic binder by brushing on the austenitic steel X6 CrNi 18-10 (Alloy 304H). The coated samples were annealed in air at 400°C for 1 h in order to expel the binder. For studying the oxidation behaviour in air, isothermal experiments were pe…
The polarization process when polarizers act on an optical field is studied. We give examples for two kinds of polarizers. The first kind presents an anisotropic absorption---as in a Polaroid film---and the second one is based on total reflection at the interface with a birefringent medium. Using the Stokes vector rep…
We designed an innovative and effective dispersion system for single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by introducing an exfoliation concept. Perylene derivatives were used as organic additives for dispersion of the SWCNTs. The SWCNT solutions were characterized with UV−vis−NIR absorption spectroscopy and transmission…
Formation of droplets especially in microchannels, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and their effects on the performance of these devises, as well as scientific aspect of the droplet behavior in the fluid flow motion, makes the subject of the droplet deformation and m…
Abstract We analyze the high‐energy Raman modes, G + and G – , in a pair of one metallic and one semiconducting nanotube grown across a 100 mm wide slit. By combining Raman resonance profiles of the radial breathing mode and the high‐energy modes, we assign the broad G – peak to a metallic and the G + peak to a semico…
The joint effect of agarose gel and impurities on hen egg white lysozyme crystal growth kinetics was investigated in situ by comparing the two-dimensional (2D) nucleation rate and the step velocity of crystals growing from free and gelled (agarose) solutions having two different levels of purity: highly purified (99.9…
Polymers with different hydrophilic groups [polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), ammonium polyacrylate (APA), and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC)] and surfactants [cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecylbenzensulfonate (SDBS)] were used as additives to modify the crystallization of β-Ni(OH) 2 in hydrother…
The influence of KCl, K2CO3 and K2SO4 on the initial stages of corrosion of 304-type (Fe18Cr10Ni) stainless steel was investigated at 600°C in 5% O2 + 40% H2O. Small amounts of salt (1.35 .mol K+/cm2) were added before exposure. The exposures were carried out in a thermobalance. Exposure time was 24 hours. Reference e…
High-density thermoelectric Bi 2 Te 3 /Sb multilayered nanowire arrays with a minimum period of 10 nm are successfully fabricated by a template-assisted pulsed electrodeposition process based on the deep investigation of Bi−Sb−Te electrolyte solution. Large-scale, solid, and continuous nanowire arrays with multisegmen…
Abstract Glycidyl azide‐r‐(3,3‐bis(azidomethyl)oxetane) copolymers were synthesized by cationic copolymerization of epichlorohydrin and 3,3‐bis(bromomethyl)oxetane, using butane‐1,4‐diol as an initiator and boron trifluoride etherate as a catalyst, followed by azidation of the halogenated copolymer. The main objective…
Abstract BACKGROUND: The nature of phase transitions and apparently irreversible phase homogenization upon heating in blends of biodegradable poly( L ‐lactide) (PLLA) with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were proven using differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy an…
Abstract Ethylene copolymer film was coated with chitosan by attachment of the polymer to the corona‐treated surface of the film, and the composite film was analysed for antimicrobial activity. The film was active against bacteria in 0.625 mM phosphate buffer; it reduced colony counts of Escherichia coli 25922 and of…
Abstract One productive technique for ultrahigh resolution readout of tiny regions is the measurement of the fluorescence signal of materials. A transparent polymeric materials whose fluorescence quantum yield is changed and recorded by thermally controlling the aggregation of fluoran dyes and developers with long alk…
Structure of a complex superstructure self-organized by thermotropic mesogen, 1,2-bis(4'- n-alkoxybenzoyl)hydrazine [BABH(n), where n is the number of carbon atoms in an alkoxy chain] was studied while paying special attention to the structure at the molecular level. Maximum entropy (MEM) analysis revealed that the mo…
