Several systems of nanocomposite thin films have been prepared by plasma sputtering and heat treatment. By choosing suitable multilayer structures of the as-deposited films and subsequent heat-treatment processes, the nanostructures of the films have been tailored. The thermal processing is the key to control the morp…
The hydrothermal reaction of Na2WO4·2H2O with finely powdered vanadium metal and tetramethylammonium chloride at 160 °C gave an orange solution which yielded the 12-tungstovanadate Keggin compound [Me4N]7[VW12O40]·15H2O 1. This novel compound has been characterized by the IR, UV-VIS and EPR spectroscopic methods, mang…
Processible polyaniline (PCPAn) modified electrodes are characterized by an advanced potentiometric pH response in comparison to those based on regular polyaniline. Glassy carbon electrodes modified with PCPAn by dip-coating exhibited a fully reversible potentiometric response of approximately 90 mV pH–1 over the rang…
Mechanical milling using a high energy ball mill was applied to a commercial pure iron powder to introduce a large deformation strain into the matrix. Microstructural changes during deformation and annealing were investigated for the mechanically milled powder, by means of X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron m…
This paper shows that the separation of quasi-static hysteresis losses into two components, one related to Low Induction and other to High Induction levels. The separation line between those two regions has been arbitrarily chosen as the induction at maximum permeability. Results show that the grain size has stronger…
Biodegradation of poly(urethane)s (PU)s using single enzymes in vitro was assessed by measuring radiolabel release from model poly(ester-urea-urethane) (PESU) and poly(ether-urea-urethane) (PETU) materials synthesized with 14C-labelled monomers. Cholesterol esterase (CE), an enzyme found in monocyte-derived macrophage…
Minimization of water use and reuse applications within industry has recently gained importance within the context of water conservation efforts. The leather tanning industry is one of the subject industries due to large amount of water to be disposed of together with a high pollution load. The leather tanning industr…
The compression ability and dissolution rate of ibuprofen are poor. There are many processes to optimize these properties through adapted formulations. However, it would be more satisfactory to obtain directly during the crystallization step crystalline particles that can be directly compressed and quickly dissolved.…
Until now, most widely used blood bag material has been a plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) because it has many desirable properties as a blood bag material. One of main concerns of using plasticized PVC as a blood bag material is the toxicity of the plasticizers that are leached out of the material. We tried to so…
The synthesis of coumarins (2H-benzopyran-2-ones) via Knoevenagel condensation over a recoverable, inexpensive solid base catalyst, calcined Mg–Al hydrotalcite, is reported for the first time. This method produces substituted coumarins in very high yields (>85%) and selectivities (ca. 100%) when aromatic hydroxy aldeh…
This paper presents a review of leakage current (Lc) measurements on nonceramic insulators and material samples. It is divided into two parts: First, the field investigations of LC, include a development of LC measuring systems and how the on-line LC measurements correlate to the insulator performance as well as to th…
Ni ‐ YSZ anodes with a new microstructure for solid oxide fuel cells were successfully prepared from NiO ‐ YSZ composite powder. The composite powder consisting of fine YSZ particles dispersed on the surface of NiO particles was synthesized by spray pyrolysis. The anodic polarization for Ni ‐ YSZ cermet in which few s…
ABSTRACT Extruded instant corn flour (EICF) samples with hydrocolloids (gums), such as gum arabic, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), guar and xanthan and with different concentrations of lime (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3% w/w) were prepared by extrusion. The gums were added before or after thermal processing. The dehydration process…
Elastic constants of Ti50Ni30Cu20 alloy prior to the martensitic transformation B2 → B19 was measured for the first time by using the rectangular parallelepiped resonance method. The softening in both shear modulus ć and c44 was found with approaching transformation temperature. As a result of soft c 44, the anisotrop…
Reaction of 4,5-bis(methylsulfanyl)-1,3-dithiole-2-thione 1 with diiodine or iodine monobromide in CH2Cl2 resulted in the formation of molecular charge-transfer complexes 1·I2 and 1·IBr respectively. Both complexes have been characterised crystallographically and contain a linear S–I–X (X = I or Br) moiety with the su…
Nanocrystalline zirconium dioxide particles have been produced by means of thermal decomposition of a liquid metal organic precursor in a flow reactor system. X-Ray diffraction patterns show that the powder consists of a mixture of the monoclinic and tetragonal phase and that the phase fractions depend on the experime…
The present work focuses on a capillary rise technique, referred to here as column wicking, for determining contact angles on wood particles. The liquid front rise versus time for different probe liquids has been measured for extracted and non-extracted spruce wood particles packed into glass columns. Wood is a porous…
A method of anodizing valve metals in glycerin‐based solutions at elevated temperature to produce nonporous oxide films is presented. The thickness is not limited by the anodizing voltage, but by the amount of time at voltage or, more accurately, by the total amount of ionic current passed through the film. The import…
During the authors' efforts to stabilize contaminated ashes in the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) complex by a novel chemically bonded phosphate ceramic, they formulated a high strength concrete made of benign ashes (such as fly ash and coal bottom ash) that may be useful for specialized applications in the const…
A novel pore tailoring method is proposed by which the pore-opening sizes of MCM-41 materials can be finely tuned without significant loss in pore volume and surface area.
