In situ neutron reflectivity and dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry measurements were used to investigate the dynamics of polystyrene thin films in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ). The results show that the large degree of anomalous swelling observed is associated with a decrease in glass transition temper…
We report on a construction for smectic blue phases, which have quasi-long-range smectic translational order as well as long-range cubic or hexagonal order. Our proposed structures fill space with a combination of minimal surface patches and cylindrical tubes. We find that for the right range of material parameters, t…
The solvation shift of the lowest absorption transition of furfural in water is analyzed as a function of the rotation angle for the interconversion between the two conformations, OO-cis and OO-trans, of furfural. In total, 20 Monte Carlo NPT simulations are performed, corresponding to different rotation angles of the…
Abstract Deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR) latex was prepared by the incubation of fresh natural latex with a proteolytic enzyme. The DPNR latex was later used to prepare a graft copolymer with methyl methacrylate (MMA). High ammonia (HA) concentrated latex was also used to prepare a graft copolymer with MMA. The ap…
Catalytic active coatings for microchannels have been developed for metallic microstructure reactors in heterogeneous catalyzed gas phase reactions. To enhance the inner surface of microchannel reactors, porous metal oxide coatings have been made by various deposition techniques such as sol–gel processes, anodic oxida…
Article Structural and chemical heterogeneity of illite-smectites from Upper Jurassic mudstones of East Greenland related to volcanic and weathered parent rocks was published on November 1, 2002 in the journal American Mineralogist (volume 87, issue 11-12).
This is a position paper prepared by the IEEE Task Force on Insulator Icing Test Methods. Test methods for evaluating flashover voltage of ceramic and nonceramic insulators under ice, snow, and cold-fog conditions are recommended. The paper describes the procedure to be followed at various stages of an evaluation test…
[reaction: see text] A new poly(ethylene glycol)-supported porphyrin has been prepared and its ability as a promoter in photooxidation reactions has been studied. The PEG-supported catalyst exhibits high activity, comparable to that of a nonanchored sensitizer, and it is easily removable by filtration from the reactio…
Structural studies and stability of cluster-like particles of Ru x and Ru x Se y were performed in situ via X-ray diffraction at wide angles (WAXS). Both materials have a similar particle size (1.4−1.6 nm) in the reduced state. Whereas Ru x particles are rather sensitive to oxygen from air, the chemical stabilization,…
An introduction to X-ray Intensity Fluctuation Spectroscopy (XIFS) is given by describing its relationship to speckle from coherent sources. A brief description of the relationship of XIFS measurements to the underlying equations of motion is given. Preliminary results for the charge density wave (CDW) system NbSe 3 a…
The distribution of cations over the positions in the structures of labuntsovite-group minerals was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy. Several types of cation order over the five key positions are established depending on cation composition and their force characteristics.
Abstract The B–Co system is investigated via thermodynamic modeling and experiments. In the modeling section, all of the experimental phase diagram and thermodynamic data available from the literature were critically reviewed and assessed by using thermodynamic models for the Gibbs energies of individual phases. In th…
β‐Bi 2 O 3 compositions were prepared to evaluate the effect on properties of using mixed dopants. Baseline compositions containing 28 mol% of the alkaline‐earth oxides CaO, SrO, or BaO were used for comparison. When the alkaline earths were combined in pairs to dope the bismuth oxide, the resulting properties were in…
AgI nanoparticles with zincblende structure are promising materials for laser based optical communication systems and therefore deserve to be optimally synthesized. We have explored ambient iodization as a strategy for controlled AgI nanoparticle growth on (a) mesoporous Ag foils, (b) Ag-Cu quasi-amorphous thin films…
A layered double-hydroxide intercalation compound was synthesized to measure the uniaxial stress the host layers exert on the intercalants. To measure the uniaxial stress, we employed the photoluminescence (PL) from the intercalated species, the Sm ion complex, as it is sensitive to the deformation of the intercalants…
Abstract The coalescence rate in immiscible polymer blends predicted by all existing models is two or three orders of magnitude lower than that observed experimentally. The model developed in this study considers for the first time that coarsening is driven by van der Waals forces and there is slippage at the interfac…
We report here our preliminary results of pliitonium corrosion studied using photoelectron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry. Plutonium surfaces were cleaned by Ar ion bombardment, and examined using X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spe…
It is important to stress that XRD must not be used as a &s;black box&s; to characterize cementitious materials. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is not made from pure minerals but from quarries that generally contain substantial amounts of impurities. Thus, the alite component of Portland cement is not pure C^S but is…
Abstract The crystal structure of Cu 4 Bi 4 Se 9 , synthesized at 400 °C, was determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data and refined to the R 1 value of 0.05. The compound is orthorhombic, with a = 32.692 Å, b = 4.120 Å, and c = 12.202 Å, space group Pnma . The structure contains three square pyramidal Bi s…
This is an electronic version of the revised U.S. Air Force Damage Tolerant Design Handbook. The technical content of the 2002 edition is enhanced by the addition of new developments in the areas of corrosion, widespread fatigue damage, and probabilistic methods. New sample problems are included which illustrate the s…
