Premature fracture and splitting of human head hair is cosmetically undesirable and at worse, unsightly. It is often regarded both by the hair's owner and by others as indicative of hair in poor condition and attracts considerable expenditure on hair toiletry products in sometimes vague attempts to prevent or repair t…

The glow curve structure of LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) has been investigated following irradiation by low energy alpha particles and 4He ions following both air and N2 annealing. Tm-Tstop analysis was carried out following 60Co gamma volumetric, low ionisation density, irradiation (annealing in air) as well as low energy alp…

In this paper we present new observations of a laser generated cavitation bubble interacting with an inertial boundary. Employing schlieren photography and Mach–Zehnder interferometry techniques, we present photographic sequences of a cavity interacting with a flexible membrane. During expansion the membrane is deform…

Abstract The growth kinetics of calcite crystals are studied in a batch‐fluidized‐bed crystallizer, which is maintained at a constant pH. The growth experiments are conducted in the metastable region explored as part of this research. The crystal growth rates are evaluated from the consumption rates of calcium ions, u…

Biofilms are edible films formed from biopolymers. In the casting process technique, the biofilm is obtained by the drying of a colloidal solution in the final process stage The aim of this work was to analyse the drying process of gelatin based biofilms, in room frontier conditions. The biofilms were prepared initial…

Metallophthalocyanines (MPcs; M = Zn, Mg) coordinated by 4-amino-TEMPO (ATEMPO) in the excited quartet (Q 1 ) state, which are constituted by the excited triplet MPc and doublet ATEMPO, have been studied by a time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) method. Two components were observed for both the Zn and…

We present numerical simulations, based on a mean-field calculation of the equilibrium configuration, for the magnetization reversal process in magnetic multilayers consisting of a hard (h) phase with large anisotropy, exchange coupled to a soft (s) phase with large magnetization. Starting from a trilayer made of $50h…

A statistical model with the ability to evaluate the microstructure developed in nucleation and growth kinetics is built in the framework of the Kolmogorov, Johnson-Mehl, and Avrami theory. A populational approach is used to compute the observed grain-size distribution. The impingement process which delays grain growt…

Linear low-density polyethylenes (LLDPEs) were obtained through the copolymerization of ethylene with 1-hexene using (nBuCp)2ZrCl2 co-catalyzed by methylaluminoxane (MAO). For comparative reasons, the same metallocene was supported on silica (0.85 wt%Zr/SiO2) by grafting. The copolymerizations were performed in toluen…

Europium‐doped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) phosphor particles were prepared from mixed nitrate solutions by the FEAG (filter expansion aerosol generator) process. The crystallinity, morphology, and luminescence of the YAG:Eu particles were investigated. The prepared particles had an amorphous phase, which turned int…

Thermoluminescence modelling started with very simple models of highly localised point defects, and separation of trapping and recombination centres. Whilst these ideas still dominate the discussions, current research indicates that most defects are far more complex, with localised transitions, and defect interactions…

Aliphatic poly(ester-amide)s were prepared by polycondensation of N,N′-1,4 butanediylbis(6-hydroxyhexanamide), dimethyl adipate, and 1,4-butanediol, using Ti(OBu)4 as a catalyst. For polymers with a bisamide monomer content below 25 mol-%, Mw between 20 000 and 50 000 were obtained after 10–12 h polymerization at temp…

Poly(furfuryl alcohol) with M n = 2–2.2 × 103 was prepared using p-toluenesulphonic acid in methylene chloride. Polymer structures were determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The 1H NMR spectrum indicated the predominance of linear sequences and the absence of CH2OCH2bonds in the polymer. The 13C NMR spectrum…

Porous silica frameworks containing well-dispersed metal particles are particularly important in catalysis. These authors report a method for direct inclusion of metal nanoparticles into a host framework, thus circumventing the need for post-synthesis functionalization of the support. The method involves a new molecul…

CdS/HgS/CdS nanoparticles consist of a CdS core, epitaxially covered by one or two monolayers of HgS, and additional cladding layers of CdS. The luminescence spectrum of the studied materials contains a dominant exciton band located at the HgS layer and an additional nonexcitonic band, presumably corresponding to the…

The preparation of dense homogeneous zirconia‐toughened alumina (ZTA) with high dry‐sliding wear resistance is described. These ZTA ceramics are obtained by sintering green compacts, made by colloidal filtration of well‐defined ZrO 2 ‐Al 2 O 3 particle suspensions, for 2 h at 1400°C. The optimum solid and stabilizer c…
