The development of varistor ceramics is reviewed with an emphasis on ZnO‐based varistors formed by liquid‐phase sintering. Particular attention is given to the effects of microstructural disorder on the properties of varistors and to the different modes of failure that can occur.
Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) are a class of microbially produced polyesters that have potential applications as conventional plastics, specifically thermoplastic elastomers. A wealth of biological diversity in PHA formation exists, with at least 100 different PHA constituents and at least five different dedicated…
Mixed-valence manganese oxides (R1-χAχ)MnO3 (R=rare-earth cation, A=alkali or alkaline earth cation), with a structure similar to that of perovskite CaTiO3, exhibit a rich variety of crystallographic, electronic and magnetic phases. Historically they led to the formulation of new physical concepts such as double excha…
Nanophase TiO 2 was prepared by a stearic acid sol–gel technique. X-ray measurements showed that the as-prepared sample is anatase TiO 2 phase with an average grain size of 10.4 nm. Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the structural transformation from anatase-to-rutile in the nanophase TiO 2 annealed at a seri…
The review surveys data on over 200 crystal and molecular structures of metal halide complexes with oxygen-containing crown ethers. The major types of the complexes are distinguished. The characteristic features of formation of these complexes and their coordination fragments are discussed. The bibliography includes 1…
The effect of a thin tie layer on the adhesion of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide-66 (PA) was studied by delamination of microlayers. The microlayers consisted of many alternating layers of PP and PA separated by a thin layer of a maleated PP. The peel toughness and delamination failure mode were determined using the…
Data on the electronic and chemical structure of a new quasi-one-dimensional form of matter, viz., nanotubulenes, are generalised and systematised. Methods and approaches used in modern quantum chemistry for the simulation of the composition, structure, and properties of isolated tubulenes based on layered phases (gra…
The introduction of peroxycarbonate groups onto a silica surface and the graft polymerization of vinyl monomers initiated by peroxycarbonate groups introduced onto a silica surface were investigated. The introduction of peroxycarbonate groups onto a silica surface was achieved by Michael addition of amino groups intro…
The solution of the problem of diffraction of an acoustic plane wave by a periodic boundary for frequencies close to threshold values is studied. It is shown that if the periodic structure has some special geometry, then the transformations of the diffraction pattern (Wood's anomalies) are accompanied by the occurrenc…
The morphology of immiscible blends of nylon 6 and ethylene propylene rubber blends (EPM) was studied. The blends were prepared by melt blending in a twin-screw miniextruder and a Haake Rheocord mixer. The influence of the blend ratio, time of mixing, rotation speed of the rotors, mixing temperature, and quenching of…
The spectral characteristics of aqueous zinc chloride solutions (67% w/w) containing cellulose, cellobiose, maltose, β-methyl glucoside, and glucose were compared. The results suggest that zinc ion forms loose complexes with the C2 or C3 hydroxyl groups of glucose or methyl glucopyranoside. The absorption of light in…
We briefly review the standard methods used to construct quasiperiodic tilings, such as the projection, the inflation, and the grid method. A number of sample Mathematica programs, implementing the different approaches for one- and two-dimensional examples, are discussed. Apart from small examples, the corresponding p…
Cyanoethylation of jute fibers in the form of nonwoven fabric was studied, and these chemically modified fibers were used to make jute–polyester composites. The dynamic mechanical thermal properties of unsaturated polyester resin (cured) and composites of unmodified and chemically modified jute–polyester were studied…
Carbon nanotubes are metallic, semimetallic, or semiconducting, depending on their helicity. This raises the possibility of forming nanoelectronic devices by joining tubes of differing helicity. We report calculations of the electronic properties of pairs of “armchair” and “zigzag” nanotubes joined linearly. The linea…
Wild-type mercuric ion reductase (CCCC enzyme) possesses four cysteines in each of its Hg(II) binding sites, a redox-active pair and a C-terminal pair. Mutation of the C-terminal cysteines to alanines (CCAA enzyme) leads to a loss of steady-state mercuric ion reductase activity using Hg(SR)2 substrates. However, CCCC…
Two series of new mixed-ligand nitronyl nitroxide Ni(II) complexes of [Ni(beta-diketonato)(2)(NIT2-py)] and [Ni(beta-diketonato)(tmen)(NIT2-py)](+) types with various kinds of beta-diketonates have been synthesized and structurally and magnetically characterized, where NIT2-py is 2-(2-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-…
Self-perpetuating photograft copolymerization based on the photochemistry of an iniferter benzyl N, N -diethyldithiocarbamate was utilized to design two types of microprocessed surfaces using a custom-designed apparatus operated by an X−Y step motor. Cellular adhesion and growth responses were studied on (1) a surface…
A low-molecular-weight poly( N -acryloyl- N ‘-methylpiperazine) (PAMP-L) forms miscible blends with poly( p -vinylphenol) (PVPh) while a high-molecular-weight PAMP-H forms complexes with PVPh in ethanol solutions. The glass-transition temperatures of all the blends and complexes are higher than those predicted by a li…

Latex based upon fluorinated acrylates such as perfluorooctylethyl methacrylate (FMA) and perfluorooctylethyl acrylate (FA) and fluorine-free acrylates such as n -butyl methacrylate (BMA) was prepared by means of emulsion polymerization in the presence of octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (C 18 TAB) and 2,2‘-azobis(2…
