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…

Abstract The wetting properties of thermally bonded polyester nonwoven fabrics with different basis weights were studied. These nonwovens had the same composition: 85% poly(ethylene terephthalate) and 15% poly(butylene terephthalate) fibers. Two techniques, the 3S wicking test and sessile drop method, yielded similar…

Convenient syntheses of 9,9-bis(trifluoromethyl)fluorene and 6,6,12,12-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)indenofluorene are reported. These compounds are readily prepared in two steps from simple halo-aromatics and hexafluoroacetone, which serves as the source of the geminal trifluoromethyl groups. Iodination yields polymeriza…

Abstract Preparation of water‐soluble chitosan (WSC) was made by treating partially N‐deacetylated chitosan with acetic anhydride in aqueous acetic acid. The optimal conditions of preparing WSC were determined on the basis of orthogonal tests. Low molecular weight WSC with broad molecular weight (600–1.5 kDa) were obt…

Abstract Decomposition of some Chinese forest fuels has been studied by means of nonisothermal thermogravimetric analysis in oxidative and inert atmosphere at low heating rates. A comparison between thermogravimetric curves obtained in air and nitrogen shows that the existence of oxygen enhances the decomposition rate…

Abstract Radiation induced crosslinking of carboxymethylchitin (CMCht) and carboxymethylchitosan (CMChts) has been investigated both by electron beam (EB) and γ‐irradiations. The highest crosslinking efficiency, measured as gel content of obtained hydrogels, by EB irradiation was 72 and 50% for CMCht and CMChts, respe…

Enzymes of the glyoxylate shunt have been implicated as virulence factors in several pathogenic organisms, notably Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Candida albicans. Malate synthase has thus emerged as a promising target for design of anti-microbial agents. For this effort, it is essential to have reliable models for en…

Abstract A hybrid material of polyaniline doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid and conductive carbon black (PaniDBSA/CB) was prepared by in situ polymerization. The presence of low amount of CB (up to 25 wt %) resulted in a decrease in resistivity as compared to pure PaniDBSA. Composite with 25 wt % of CB presented…
