Alkyd resins, manufactured from polyols, polybasic acids and monobasic fatty acids, may be categorized as oil-modified polyesters. Resin formulators customize the drying and performance properties of alkyd paints either by varying the type and/or stoichiometric proportions of the reactants, or by adding modifiers (for…

As-deposited amorphous MoO 3 films were found to crystallize into a stable orthorhombic phase on annealing in air at 350°C. The feasibility of using Mg ions as intercalants, in polycrystalline MoO 3 thin films has been investigated. These ions were intercalated galvanostatically at a constant current density of 166 µA…

Approximately 8700 injuries from home exercise equipment occur annually in children in the United States. Home treadmills, which have been growing steadily in popularity during the past decade, pose a specific hazard to infants and children aged 5 years or younger, a population at increased risk of injury to the upper…

When a BaTiO 3 powder compact was sintered in air, the abnormal grain growth (AGG) was observed to occur at the surface of the specimen. The BaO evaporation from the surface and consequent formation of eutectic liquid is suggested to be the cause of AGG. When the evaporation of BaO during sintering was prevented by em…

Reaction of LK (L = HC(CMeNAr) 2, Ar = 2,6- i Pr 2 C 6 H 3 ) and MnCl 2 (THF) 1.5 in THF unexpectedly resulted in the formation of the trinuclear complex LMn( μ -Cl) 2 Mn(THF) 2 ( μ -Cl) 2 MnL ( 1 ) in good yield. The substitution reactions of 1 with C 3 H 5 MgCl and PhCCLi, respectively, provided the monomeric LMnC 3…

The effect of an external electric field on the grain‐growth behavior of acceptor Mg‐doped, undoped, and donor Nb‐doped BaTiO 3 ceramics was investigated. The acceptor‐doped and undoped specimens showed enhanced grain growth at the positive‐biased region. On the other hand, for the highly donor‐doped specimens, grain…

Experimental studies of the fracture kinetics of polycrystalline metals have led to the problem of the barrier and activation volume of elementary fracture acts. A model is proposed where the field binding one atom to its environment in a metal is represented by equivalent bonds directed along three orthogonal axes. T…

Abstract This work is a part of a series on surface modification of materials made of chitosan. This report focused on grafting monomethoxy ethylene glycol oligomers (mPEG) on the surface of chitosan films. The chemical reactions were performed by immersing the films in organic solvent containing aldehyde derivative o…

The determination of the local mass per unit area m/A=∫ρdt and the thickness of a specimen is an important aspect of its characterization and is often required for material quality control in fabrication. We discuss common methods which have been used to determine the local thickness of thin specimens. We then propose…

Abstract The Izod impact strength and tensile elongation‐to‐break were measured for blends of nylon 66 and polystyrene in a polypropylene matrix with and without compatibilization by an ionomer resin (for nylon 66) and a styrene‐ block ‐ethylene‐ co ‐butylene‐ block ‐styrene copolymer (for polystyrene). With 20% nylon…

A delayed exotherm was recorded during the reduction of a carboxylic acid with BH 3 ·THF. This article will describe our efforts to explain and control the observed exotherm using a reactor integrated with a mass-flow meter, a reaction calorimeter, and an in situ FT-IR probe. In the end, a kinetic model is proposed th…
