The electrical resistivity of polymer composites is studied as a function of temperature. The initial resistivity ρ of thermoplastic or thermoset containing a metallic filler is in the range of 1–10×10−2 Ω cm. Around the curing temperature of epoxies, the resistivity increases by eight to twelve orders of magnitude. F…

The kinetics and mechanism of transpassive dissolution of thin, sputter‐deposited Cr 2 O 3 films and passivated Cr were studied with in situ x‐ray near‐edge spectroscopy in 1 M H 2 SO 4 , borate buffer (pH 8.4), and 1 M NaOH. The onset potentials of the transpassive dissolution and the plateau potentials during galvan…

An isotropic high‐density graphite was used as a polarizable electrode of all‐solid state electric double‐layer capacitor using polyethylene oxide (PEO) or gel PEO electrolyte. The all‐solid‐state capacitor with high‐density graphite electrodes possesses higher differential capacity than the other flat electrodes in s…

Phonon modes of CdSe quantum dots in various glass matrices are investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The phonon energies are observed to be dependent on the host matrix as well as the quantum dot size. We have shown that the lattice contraction effect must be introduced to explain the observed differences of the phonon…

The microscale syntheses of Tetraphenylporphyrin, H 2 (TPP), and the corresponding metalloporphyrins Zn II (TPP) and Ni II (TPP) are reported. H 2 (TPP) is synthesized by the condensation of benzaldehyde and pyrrole, and the subsequent metallation of H 2 (TPP) is achieved with anhydrous Zn II Cl 2 or Ni II Cl 2 in DMF…

Using a pin‐on‐plate tribometer with the reciprocating motion of SiC against yttria‐doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y‐TZP) plates, the friction and wear of Y‐TZP ceramics were investigated as a function of grain size in dry N 2 at room temperature. The results showed that the overall wear resistance increased a…

It has been shown that the temperature behavior of dielectric permittivity ($\ensuremath{\varepsilon}$) in the isotropic phase of nematogens can be described in the same way as in critical binary solutions. Hence, using a relation with the critical exponent $\ensuremath{\varphi}=1\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha}=0.5\…

Synergistic effects between erosion and corrosion processes on mild steel (MS) in an aqueous carbonate-bicarbonate solution were studied using electrochemical measurements from a rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) system. A rigorous basis for definition and measurement of the “pure” erosion rate and corrosion rate was…

A new assessment of the thermodynamic properties of the stable phases of the Ni-Ti system is presented, based on the experimental thermochemical and phase diagram data from the literature. Suitable sublattice models are used to describe the non-stoichiometries of NiTi and Ni 3 Ti. The calculated phase diagram and the…

Using electron paramagnetic resonance two types of ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{3+}$-related centers are identified in BaTi${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$, which are attributed to ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{3+}$-${V}_{\mathrm{O}}$ and to ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{3+}$-${V}_{\mathrm{O}}$ associated with Na or K, respectively. This assignment is based on the chemica…

In enteric bacteria, the hexitol galactitol (Gat) (formerly dulcitol) is taken up through enzyme II (II(Gat)) of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS), and accumulated as galactitol 1-phosphate (Gat1P). The gat genes involved in galactitol metabolism have been isolated from the wild-type is…

Abstract A well-characterized kaolinite has been hydrated in order to test the hypothesis that platey kaolinite will roll upon hydration. Kaolinite hydrates are prepared by repeated intercalation of kaolinite with potassium acetate and subsequent washing with water. On hydration, kaolinite plates roll along the major…
