The idealized mode-coupling theory (MCT) is applied to colloidal systems interacting via short-range attractive interactions of Yukawa form. At low temperatures, MCT predicts a slowing down of the local dynamics and ergodicity-breaking transitions. The non-ergodicity transitions share many features with the colloidal…
The thermal chemistry of iodomethane, iodoethane, 1-iodopropane, 1-iodobutane, and 2-iodohexane on copper (100), (110), and (111) single-crystal surfaces was characterized in this and previous studies by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) spectroscopy. The main decomposition pathway available to the methyl surfac…
In the Al-Pd-Ru system, a structurally ordered icosahedral phase has been successfully produced near the composition Al 73 Pd 15 Ru 12 by heat treatment at 1273 K for several hours. The x-ray diffraction patterns of the Al-Pd-Ru i-phase are very sharp, indicating that the i-phase is quite stable and that samples of hi…
As a renewable and native polymeric material, thermoplastic starch is gaining increased acceptance because of resource and environment concerns. This study reports the formulation design of native starch/polyvinyl alcohol (PVAl) compounds; the preparation technology to make them available for thermoplastic processing;…
Linear tetrapyrroles related to phytochrome (1) were prepared in enantiospecific fashion by a new strategy beginning with ring-B,C synthons of type 19 (bis-iododipyrrins). Rings A and D were elaborated by Pd(0)-mediated coupling of 19a with the appropriate alkyne acid or amide derivatives 9 and 20, followed by intramo…
During the last years, many efforts have been devoted to the elimination of alkylphenol ethoxylate surfactants from aqueous systems. In this paper, the sonochemical degradation of aqueous solutions of Triton X-100 was performed at an ultrasonic frequency of 358 kHz and an applied power of 50 W. Analysis of the reactio…
Silk fibroin/chitosan blend films were prepared by the solvent casting method. Miscibility between silk fibroin and chitosan was examined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. Structural changes of silk fibroin by the addition of chitosan were investigated by IR spectroscopy. The conformational transition of silk fi…
A new type of carbon nanotube (CNT) (diameter of <100 nm) coated by conducting polypyrrole (PPY) was synthesized by in situ polymerization on CNTs. The structure of the resulting complex nanotubes (CNT-PPY) was characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectra, and X-ray diffraction.…
Within the framework of staircase infinitely deep (SIW) potential well model the effect of dielectric constant mismatch between the size-quantized semiconducting wire, coating and surrounding environment on impurity binding energy is considered. Calculations are done in both the absence and presence of magnetic field…
We present a lattice Boltzmann algorithm for liquid crystal hydrodynamics. The coupling between the tensor order parameter and the flow is treated consistently allowing investigation of a wide range of non-Newtonian flow behavior. We present results for the effect of hydrodynamics on defect coalescence; of the appeara…
We present the first ab initio density functional theory study of the oxygen-terminated Cr2O3 (0001) surface within the local spin-density approximation (LSDA). We find that spin plays a critical role for even the most basic properties of Cr2O3 such as the structure and mechanical response of the bulk material. The su…
We propose the non-accelerator non-low-temperature simulator of quantum-field effects which is based on the feeder circuits with the special feedback. By means of it one can study the field models which contain fundamental concepts in the modern field theory but do not exist in nature in a separate form. Besides, seve…
We study the phase behaviour and structure of model colloid-polymer mixtures. By integrating out the degrees of freedom of the non-adsorbing ideal polymer coils, we derive a formal expression for the effective one-component Hamiltonian of the colloids. Using the two-body (Asakura-Oosawa pair potential) approximation t…
The sonochemical degradation of aqueous solutions of azobenzene and related azo dyes (methyl orange, o -methyl red, and p -methyl red) was performed at 500 kHz and 50 W, under air, O 2, or Ar saturation at 288 K. Reaction products and intermediates were identified by HPLC-ES-MS. Total organic carbon (TOC) was also det…
Highly ordered MCM-41 materials were synthesized using single or mixed alkyltrimethylammonium and alkyltriethylammonium surfactants of alkyl chain lengths from 12 to 22. As determined using combined adsorption/powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the obtained samples exhibited pore sizes from 3.2 to 4.8 nm with ab…
Aramids have been known for their high heat resistance and high strength. The alkyl:aryl polyamides are derived from aliphatic primary and secondary diamines, cycloaliphatic secondary diamines, and...
In the context of a continuum theory of crystals with defects, the elastic scalar invariants are functions of the lattice vectors and their spatial gradients which remain invariant under elastic changes of state. In particular, the lattice components of the dislocation density tensor are prototypical of elastic scalar…
We employ classical Molecular Dynamics simulations to study the cooperative dynamics of two low molecular weight glass-formers, propylene carbonate and salol. The length scales of dynamic heterogeneities are estimated. After appropriate scaling both glass-formers display a similar temperature dependence of this length…
We present a Monte Carlo (MC) and numerical self-consistent field (NSCF) study of end-tethered polymers in good solvent, for surface coverages found in most experiments. Properties of the system, including the layer thickness, are calculated as functions of the degree of polymerization and surface density of the chain…
Using dynamic light scattering, we investigated supersaturated aqueous solutions of hen egg white lysozyme. We could observe the formation of aggregates only in solutions, from which crystals grew within a few days. The aggregates were grouped into smaller “units” and larger “clusters.” The units consisted of a few mo…
