Abstract There has been a widely held assumption that the solid‐state polymerization (SSP) rate of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) decreases with increasing crystallinity. Several published articles that purported to prove this assumption were based on faulty experiments. Therefore, a proper experimental procedure…

Abstract The effect of time and temperature on the air oxidation of soybean oil in the absence of catalysts or added initiators was investigated. It was possible to divide the air oxidation of soybean oil into three regimes. The first regime of air oxidation resulted in insignificant change in the hydroxyl number. Dur…

Abstract Epoxy–melamine hybrid resins were obtained from in situ polymerization of siliconized (SE500) and phosphorylated (PE690) epoxy resins with hexakis(methoxymethyl)melamine (HMMM). The hybrid resins having HMMM contents less than 15 wt % exhibited high transparency and homogeneity. The compatibilities between SE…

Abstract Moisture transport in fiber assembly is one of the critical factors affecting physiological comfort. It is useful to model bundle structure for understanding capillary flow in complex geometries representative of the void spaces formed between fibers. A new mathematical model MFB has been used to simulate ali…

A sharp increase of the emission current at high electric fields and a decrease of the threshold voltage after pre-breakdown conditioning of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have been measured. This effect was observed for DLC-coated silicon tips and GaAs wedges. During electron field emission (EFE) at high electric fi…

We investigate the nature of the ordered phase for a model of colloidal particles confined within a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) strip between two parallel boundaries, or walls, separated a distance D in two dimensions (2D). Using Monte Carlo simulations we find that at densities typical of the bulk 2D triangular solid…
