The influence of oxygen and polymer concentration on the quenching of the photoluminescence (PL) from a water-soluble conjugated macromolecule, sodium poly[2-(3-thienyl)ethyloxy-4-butylsulfonate)] (PTE-BS), was investigated. The presence of oxygen in the polymer solution decreases the photoluminescence by 6.4%. The sh…

Equilibrium adsorption isotherms for low-volatile compounds are extremely difficult to measure. A simple technique using temperature programmed desorption (TPD) is proposed. It is demonstrated that the two parameters needed for constructing the Langmuir isotherm can be derived with data from the TPD technique alone. T…

We report on the spectroscopic investigation of ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$-doped binary, ternary, and quaternary fluoride compounds exhibiting photon cascade emission. Under vacuum-ultraviolet synchrotron excitation at wavelengths below 200 nm in the $4f5d$ bands of the ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$ ion the emission spectra show int…

Some operating buried transmission pipeline systems will develop unforeseen surface corrosion. Electrochemical corrosion behavior of low carbon line pipe steel in NS4 soil test solution has been investigated by EIS method. Corrosion phenomenon is accentuated by influence of such soils parameters as specific resistance…

Abstract A thin, highly crosslinked layer was grafted onto an alkyl thiol self‐assembled‐monolayer (SAM)‐coated gold surface with N,N ′‐methylene bisacrylamide (MBAA), a widely used crosslinker with two polymerizable groups, as the monomer. Surface‐initiated photografting copolymerization was achieved through the immo…

Nanometer-sized coaxial cables with a single-crystal ZnS core and a thin amorphous SiO2 shell were synthesized by simple thermal evaporation in vacuum. As-fabricated ZnS/SiO2 nanocables were studied using scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The ZnS/SiO2 nanocables have…

Abstract Tri(acryloyloxyethyl)phosphate (TAEP) and di(acryloyloxyethyl)ethyl phosphate (DAEEP) were used as reactive‐type flame‐retardant monomers along with commercial epoxy acrylate and polyurethane acrylate oligomers in ultraviolet (UV)‐curable resins. The concentrations of the monomers were varied from 17 to 50 wt…

Abstract Organophilic montmorillonite (MMT) was prepared by ion exchange between Na + ions in the clay and twin benzyldimethyloctadecylammonium bromine cations in an aqueous medium. The organophilic MMT particles were easily dispersed and swollen in styrene monomer. Polystyrene–MMT nanocomposites were prepared by the…

We have investigated the absorption of cyclohexane vapor into polystyrene films and the resulting polymer interdiffusion that is enabled by this process. The swelling of films due to solvent absorption was relatively insensitive to the film thickness or polymer molecular weight but increased with increasing temperatur…

Magnetic nanobelts of iron-doped zinc oxide were fabricated by vapor–phase transport using zinc oxide, iron oxide, and graphite as source materials. The nanobelts grew mainly along [101¯0] orientation and enclosed by ±(0001) and ±(1¯21¯0) surfaces. The measurements of x-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive x-ray spectro…

We describe a nonpolarizing filter design at oblique incidence and a polarizing filter design at normal incidence that use a uniaxially anisotropic layer. The phase thicknesses and the optical admittances of the layers are compensated for by the birefringent properties of a thin film at oblique incidence. This concept…

In this paper we report the experimental observations of the effects of various surfactants on the oscillations of the ferroin-catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. The oscillations are followed by observing the change in absorbance at 510 nm due to ferroin in a well-stirred closed BZ reacting system. We have…

Abstract Chemically modified cellulose microbeads are useful as cosmetic materials. Cellulose microbeads as supports, prepared by a viscose‐phase‐separation method, are monodisperse and spherical. However, cellulose shows only slight hydrophilicity, even though it has three hydroxyl groups per pyranose ring, because c…
