This paper reports on the effects of impact modification on the mechanical properties of wood-fiber thermoplastic composites with high-impact polypropylene (HIPP). Homo polypropylene (PP) was modified through its melt blending with HIPP to obtain an inherently tough matrix resin for PP/wood-fiber composites. The resin…
Low-frequency current fluctuations in nickel-deposited field emitters were evaluated quantitatively with normalized noise power which was obtained by integrating the spectral density of the current fluctuation between the frequencies of 0.2 and 2 Hz. The distance between the emitter and the collector was adjusted to 1…
The infrared spectra of 0.20${\mathit{R}}_{2}$O-0.${80\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ (R=Li,Na,K,Rb,Cs) and x${\mathrm{Rb}}_{2}$O-(1-x)${\mathrm{GeO}}_{2}$ (0x\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.27) glasses were measured in the reflectance mode and analyzed by the Kramers-Kronig technique to investigate the nature and compos…
The first cis,cis,cis,trans-[5.5.5.5]-fenestranes have been synthesized in three steps using a novel arene-alkene photocycloaddition-radical cyclization cascade, which creates overall 5 new rings and 8 stereogenic centers. A lead tetraacetate mediated ring expansion of a 5,5-fused ring system, discovered in the course…
Vasoconstrictor and Na/K pump inhibitory properties of a bufodienolide Na/K-ATPase inhibitor, marinobufagenin, were studied in isolated rings of 2 to 3 order branches of human pulmonary arteries respectively. Marinobufagenin displayed concentration-dependent vasoconstrictor activity (0.01 to 10 mmol/L). In sarcolemma…
Resistance of stainless steels (SS) to generalized corrosion is provided by growth of a protective thin film of mixed oxides. In aqueous solutions, impurities can destroy this passive layer locally and increase the intensity of localized attack. Thiosulfate ions (S2O32−) have been recognized as potentially detrimental…
Based on the premise of achieving blood compatibility through mimicking the chemical constitutents of the biologically insert surface of the unactivated platelet membrane, a process was developed that entails the covalent grafting of modified phosphatidylcholine molecules to materials including silica, polypropylene,…
Abstract The dynamic crystallization and the melting behavior of polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PS‐ b ‐PCL, short notation SC), polybutadiene‐ block ‐poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PB‐ b ‐PCL, BC) and polystyrene‐ block ‐polybutadiene‐ block ‐poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PS‐ b ‐PB‐ b ‐PCL, SBC) have been studied using diff…
Results are presented for isothermal, high-pressure (up to p=300 MPa), and temperature (under atmospheric pressure) measurements of complex dielectric permittivity in supercooled di-isobutyl phthalate. The relaxation times determined from the temperature study obey the temperature Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) law. The…
The covariant form of the Landau--de Gennes free energy is used to study the chevron structure formed by cooling from the Sm-A to the nonchiral Sm-C phase in a surface-stabilized cell with planar boundary conditions. We show that the chevron is the thermodynamic equilibrium structure. The chevron structure is studied…
Binding of (i) purified wild-type poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) depolymerase PhaZ4 of Pseudomonas lemoignei, (ii) a purified truncated form of PhaZ4, which lacked 55 C-terminal amino acids and (iii) commercial lactate dehydrogenase to aqueous suspensions of PHB, chitin or cellulose was studied. Only the wild-type PHB…
Abstract This paper describes the preparation and properties of in‐situ composites based on polymers with no overlap in processing temperatures. The polymers used were Vectra A900, a thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyester (TLCP), and Arnitel em630, a thermoplastic elastomer. Blends were generated by feeding the t…
The nature of the interfacial bond has a major effect on the degree of toughening that can be achieved in a ductile‐particle‐reinforced ceramic‐matrix composite. The effect of variation of oxygen partial pressure during fabrication on the bonding in an alumina‐nickel composite has been investigated. Calculations sugge…
Structural and optical anisotropies have been investigated in some chalcogenide glasses exposed to illumination of linearly polarized light. X-ray diffraction patterns of illuminated ${\mathrm{As}}_{2}$${\mathrm{S}}_{3}$ manifest a structural modification at \ensuremath{\sim}1 A${\mathrm{\r{}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}…
A variation in the structure of the decagonal phase with composition and phase transformations related to the decagonal phase have been observed in Al70Ni30-xCox alloys with x varying from 16 to 24. A decagonal phase with fundamental reflections at Al70Ni24Co6 converts to a (type I) superstructure around Al70Ni18Co12…
Abstract A series of 4-arylmethyleneamino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yloxyls (4-arylmethyleneamino-TEMPO) and related compounds were synthesized, and their magnetic susceptibilities were measured by a SQUID magnetometer in the temperature range of 1.8—100 K. Of 165 radicals investigated, 52 kinds of radicals exhib…
Lawsonite single crystals were investigated by polarized FfIR spectroscopy at wave numbers between 8000 and 1000 cm^(-1) and temperatures between 82 and 325 K. This temperature range contains three lawsonite phases-Cmcm > 273 K, 273 K > Pmcn > 150 K, P2_1cn < 150 K-which are characterized by different rota…
A parameter space approach is used to represent the operation of all liquid crystal displays. The Jones matrix nematic is used to analyze the static optical properties of liquid crystal displays with any twist angle, cell thickness, natural birefringence, and polarizer angles. All the usual display modes such as 90° T…
The cleavage/polyadenylation factor I (CF I) is one of four factors required for mRNA 3' end formation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we describe the purification of CF I and its separation into two components, CF IA and CF IB. Both components are needed to reconstitute CF I activity in cleavage and poly(…
A low hydrogen content form of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C: H) was deposited from a magnetically confined plasma, for a range of self bias voltages. The structure was characterized in terms of its density, sp3 bonding fraction, H content, and H bonding. The Tauc optical gap was found to vary from 2 to 3 eV as t…
