Abstract In XPS, it is often observed that the x‐ray flux causes changes in the surface structure and chemistry in the surface region of organic materials. However, at present, there is no standard guide to estimate the relationship between the degradation rate and x‐ray source flux. To investigate this relationship,…

A new cellulosomal protein from Clostridium cellulolyticum Cel9M was characterized. The protein contains a catalytic domain belonging to family 9 and a dockerin domain. Cel9M is active on carboxymethyl cellulose, and the hydrolysis of this substrate is accompanied by a decrease in viscosity. Cel9M has a slight, albeit…

Sintered xerogel films (porous SiO2) show a much higher thermal conductivity than other low dielectric constant (low-K) materials available for the same value of K. The thermal conductivity of xerogels which we have processed using different methods is compared with that of other low-K materials such as silica hybrid…
