The O2 adsorption on Ag(111) single crystal in the range of 300–500 K has been studied by XPS, ADXPS, and TPD. At room temperature, the O1s line observed at 530.0 eV goes down to 528.2 eV when the sample is heated to 420 K. The comparison of XPS and TPD data indicates that both lines can be assigned to chemisorbed ato…

Boron‐doped polycrystalline and near‐single‐crystal quality diamond electrodes were studied by voltammetry. A redox couple with vs. standard hydrogen electrode was detected on the polycrystalline electrodes but was absent on the single‐crystal electrodes. The results strongly suggest that the couple is associated with…

Abstract The adsorption abilites of cotton cellulose fibers are very often modified by alkaline treatments in form of alkaline purification or mercerization using high concentration of NaOH. We tried to determine the correlation between morphological modifications and the adsorption abilities of cotton fibers using se…

Abstract The goal of this paper is to discuss the influence of water absorption‐desorption cycles on the mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced plastics. Therefore, epoxy resins with jute wovens as reinforcement with untreated and silane treated fibers were investigated. Silane treatment of fibers led to in…

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films on platinized silicon were fabricated and their structural development upon annealing was characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The amount of a transient intermetallic phase Pt3Pb was found initially to increase with annealing time and t…

Failures that occur in titanium-ceramic restorations are of concern to clinicians. The formation of poorly adhering oxide on titanium at dental porcelain sintering temperatures causes adherence problems between titanium and porcelain, which is the main limiting factor in the fabrication of titanium-ceramic restoration…

Various combinations of Al 4 C 3 , B 4 C, and carbon were used as sintering aids for pressureless sintering of alpha‐SiC (94% 6 H + 6% 15 R ) powders. Densification behavior, polytypic transformation, microstructural development, and mechanical properties were studied. Appropriate amounts of Al 4 C 3 ‐B 4 C‐C addition…

The purpose of this study was to make an intercomparison and assessment of cross sections for electrons in water used in electron track structure codes. This study is intended to shed light on the extent to which the differences between the input data and physical and chemical assumptions influence the outcome in biop…

Abstract Most bulk chemical analyses of sepiolite and palygorskite available in the literature are erroneous because samples analyzed are admixtures of minerals that are difficult to separate or identify by other techniques. Some chemical analyses performed on selected individual particles by energy dispersive X-ray a…

A new model of line-profile broadening due to the effect of linear and planar lattice defects has been incorporated into the conventional Rietveld algorithm for the structural refinement and whole-pattern fitting of powder data. The proposed procedure, applied to face-centred cubic (f.c.c.) structure materials, permit…

We study the biaxial structure of both line and point defects in a nematic liquid crystal confined within a capillary tube whose lateral boundary enforces homeotropic anchoring. According to Landau-de Gennes theory the local order in the material is described by a second-order tensor Q, which encompasses both uniaxial…

The electrical transport properties of grain boundaries in the epitaxial La 2/3 Ca 1/3 MnO 3 − δ thin films have been studied as a function of temperature and applied magnetic field. Below the Curie temperature T C an additional grain boundary resistance, highly non-linear current-voltage curves, and a large magnetore…

Crustacean chitins and fungal chitin–glucan complexes are subjected to regiospecific oxidation at C-6 with NaOCl in the presence of Tempo® and NaBr at 25°C in aqueous solution. The resulting products have anionic character and are fully soluble over the entire pH range; they lend themselves to metal chelation, polyele…

In inactive glasses used as models for French nuclear waste forms, Zr K ‐ and L 2,3 ‐edge X‐ray absorption spectroscopy spectra indicate that Zr is only 6‐coordinated, with d (Zr‐O) distances of 2.08 ± 0.01 Å and with a small radial disorder. Beyond, the first coordination shell, next‐nearest Si neighbors occur at abo…

We analyze the thermodynamics of disklike particles dispersed in a polymer matrix. Using the Somoza−Tarazona free energy functional for thin oblate ellipsoids of revolution in combination with the Flory−Huggins mixing free energy, we obtain a new expression that allows us to describe the complete (liquid, crystalline,…

We have studied singlet electronic energy transfer (EET) in two donor−bridge−acceptor series (D−B−A), in which the donor (zinc porphyrin or its pyridine complex) and the acceptor (free base porphyrin) were covalently connected by a geometrically well-defined bridging chromophore. We have investigated how the medium be…

Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) precursors for transparent ceramics were synthesized by the urea method under various [urea]/[metal ions] ([U]/[M]) conditions. Monophase YAG was obtained from solutions with a high [U]/[M] ratio after calcination at a temperature of 1200°C. The condition of the precipitates seemed to ind…
