We present an x-ray reflectivity study of molecularly thin films of liquid isobutane adsorbed on liquid glycerol. The glycerol-isobutane interface serves as a model system to investigate the influence of the substrate adsorbate interactions on both adsorption isotherms and capillary wave fluctuations. The measured sur…
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) lyase is a key enzyme in the ketogenic pathway that supplies metabolic fuel to extrahepatic tissues. Enzyme deficiency may be due to a variety of human mutations and can be fatal. Diminished activity has been explained based on analyses of recombinant human mutant proteins or,…
We report single molecule laser absorption by carbon nanotubes stamped under ultrahigh vacuum onto Si(100)2x1:H surfaces. Absorption is detected by scanning tunneling microscopy. Images are obtained with and without modulated laser excitation using lock-in amplification and a rear-illumination geometry to reduce therm…
Abstract Graft copolymers of NR and PMMA (i.e., NR‐ g ‐PMMA) were prepared with the bipolar redox initiation system, using various percentages of molar ratios of NR/MMA at 95/5, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, and 60/40. It was found that the Mooney viscosity, shear stress, and shear viscosity of the NR‐ g ‐PMMA increased with a…
Abstract A series of composites of PPO/PA 6 with improved toughness were synthesized by using ε‐caprolactam as a reactive solvent. Inserting minor PPO macromolecules (1–3 wt %) into PA 6 matrix obviously reduced the crystallinity of PA6. Two crystallization temperatures were found when 6 wt % PPO was added. SEM reveal…
Cu4(OH)6SO4 (1) and Cu4(OD)6SO4 (2) were obtained by hydrothermal syntheses from copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide in H2O and D2O, respectively. They crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/a (14), a = 13.1206(5), b = 9.8551(3), c = 6.0295(2) Angstroms, beta = 103.432(3) degrees, V = 758.3(1) Angstro…
Abstract We prepared polypropylene nanocomposites based on a modified organoclay with isobutyl trimethoxysilane to investigate the effects of such modifications of organoclay on the microstructure and properties of the nanocomposite. The organoclay was preliminarily intercalated with distearyldimethylammonium bromide…
5-Alkenyl-15-alkynylporphyrins have been obtained unexpectedly by [2 + 2] acid-catalyzed condensation of dipyrrylmethane and TMS propynal in addition to 5,15-dialkynylporphyrin, and the unsymmetrical porphyrin can be converted to a butadiyne-linked dimer by selective desilylation of the alkynyl TMS.
Abstract This article reports an experimental and theoretical study of the peroxide‐induced degradation of polypropylene in a corotating twin‐screw extruder. Experiments were performed with different peroxide concentrations and different operating conditions. The evolution of the chemical reaction along the extruder w…
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and in situ x-ray diffraction analyses have been used to elucidate the compositional sensitivity of the deformation behavior in two β-Ti–Mo-based alloys. The alloy with 8% Mo exhibited conventional elastic∕plastic behavior in tension which corresponds to the irreversibl…
Abstract In the present work, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)–clay nanocomposites (TPN) based on different rubber–plastic blends from ethylene–octene copolymer [Engage]–Polypropylene and brominated poly(isobutylene‐ co ‐paramethyl styrene)–nylon 6 were prepared by melt blending. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and oc…
ZnO nanoclusters were prepared and deposited at room temperature using a newly developed cluster source. The nanoclusters act as a building block for the cluster films deposited on various substrates. The cluster films were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray diff…
Abstract In this article, a series of polymer–clay nanocomposite (PCN) materials consisted of commercial thermoplastic ABS matrix and dispersing inorganic organoclay platelets were successfully prepared by melt intercalation through the twin‐roller mixer. The as‐prepared materials in the form of pellet were then shape…
The platinum loading, electronic and ionic conductivity, tuned porosity, and electrode potential of layer-by-layer (LBL) conducting polymer films for thin film catalytic electrodes are presented. Films of polyaniline (PANi)/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or PANi/poly(acrylic acid)- co -polyacrylamide (PAA- co -PAAm) of 3.0-…
Abstract During polymer foaming with physical blowing agents, plasticization affects the melt viscosity, gas diffusivity in the melt, and the gas–melt interfacial tension. In this paper, we propose a model for plasticization during bubble growth, and estimate its effects under typical foaming conditions. The theoretic…
Reaction of nickel(II) acetate with H(3)L (2-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis[4-(5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-azabut-3-enyl]-1,3-imidazolidine) yields [Ni(2)L(OAc)(H(2)O)(2)].3MeCN.2H(2)O (1.3MeCN.2H(2)O), crystallographically characterized. 1 is unstable in solution for a long time and hydrolyzes to give [Ni(2)L(o-OC(…
Abstract Polyglycidylmethacrylate grafted butadiene rubber (PGMA‐g‐BR) was synthesized by a graft solution copolymerization technique. The PGMA content was determined through titration against HBr. The PGMA‐g‐BR was blended with styrene butadiene rubber/butadiene acrylonitrile rubber (SBR/NBR) blends with different bl…
