[PMo12O40(VO)2]5- is a highly reduced cluster with eight d metal electrons. The localization−delocalization nature of d metal electrons is one of the points of interest in reduced polyoxoanions. We report DFT calculations which suggest that the oxidation state of the V atoms is +4 and that the other six metal electron…

Polycaprolactone (PCL) was grafted onto starch through introduction of urethane linkages. The grafting reaction was carried out in two steps. The first step was the reaction of hydroxyl-terminated PCL with 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate. The isocyanate terminated PCL was then reacted with starch to obtain starch-graft-poly…

The ferromagnetism of the inhomogeneous crystalline structure arising below the temperature of the martensitic phase transition is considered using a phenomenological expression for the Helmholtz free energy of a cubic crystal. The magnetic anisotropy of the martensitic structure is related to the order parameter of t…

Copolymerization of glycolide (Glyc) and L-lactide (L-Lac) were conducted at 150°C in bulk to prepare random copolyesters. Four resorbable catalysts were used and compared: ZnCl2, ZnI2, Zn stearate (ZnSte2) and Zn lactate (ZnLac2). Separate time-conversion curves were recorded for glycolide and lactide by means of 1H…

New photoisomerizable chiral dopants have been studied. The dopants used were menthone derivatives, a chiral stilbene derivative and a nematic copolymer of a menthone derivative and a benzoyloxybenzonitrile derivative. NMR, HPLC and UV results showed that the E-Z-isomerization of all the compounds indicated proceeded…

The structures of carbonaceous deposits obtained through laser ablations using targets composed of C, Ni, and Co under various Ar gas pressures were studied. The pressure dependence of the target's surface morphology and the structure was also studied. When the pressure was 100 Torr or below, only carbon was evaporate…

Polystyrene/polyethylene composites have been prepared by the heterogeneous radical polymerization of styrene within supercritical carbon dioxide−swollen high density polyethylene (HDPE) substrates. Composition of the composites can be controlled with reaction time and initial ratio of styrene to HDPE. The polystyrene…

A large single crystal (about 30 mm in diameter by 20 mm long) of the Pb(Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 –PbTiO 3 (PZN–PT) solid solution system was successfully grown using the vertical Bridgeman method and its properties were investigated. No defects such as flux inclusions were observed on as-polished {100} plates, except in a…

The use of nitroxide-mediated ‘living’ free radical procedures as a synthetic tool for obtaining polymers with well defined and complex macromolecular architectures is discussed. The preparation of linear homo, block, and random co-polymers by ‘living’ free radical procedures have been demonstrated for a variety of sy…

Abstract Fusion-bonded epoxy coating is extensively used to enhance the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel. The bond strength between these bars and the concrete is expected to be less than that of the uncoated bars and it may be further impaired due to prolonged exposure to thermal variations.

The die upset of hot pressed NdFeB magnets modifies the equiaxed grains to platelets, develops the c-axis texture parallel to press direction, and improves magnetic properties. The mechanism of c-axis alignment has been suggested to be a combination of grain-boundary sliding and anisotropic grain growth in a direction…
