The mass transfer of naphthalene vapor to water droplets in air was studied in the presence of ozone (O3) in the gas phase. A falling droplet reactor with water droplets of diameters 55, 91, and 182 microm was used for the study. O3 reacted with naphthalene at the air-water interface, thereby decreasing the mass trans…
The electronic properties of ${({\mathrm{Li}}_{2}\mathrm{O})}_{x}{({\mathrm{B}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3})}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$ ($x=0.0$, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) compounds were studied by periodic quantum-chemical calculations at density functional theory level using localized atomic basis functions. A good agreemen…
Covers advancements in spacecraft and tactical and strategic missile systems, including subsystem design and application, mission design and analysis, materials and structures, developments in space sciences, space processing and manufacturing, space operations, and applications of space technologies to other fields.
The effects of oxygen versus vacuum ambients on colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were studied using both continuous and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The PL intensities were found to be an order of magnitude higher in an oxygen atmosphere, which is explained by the passivation of surface defe…
Various cryoprotectants were tested to reconstitute the surfactant-free nanoparticles of poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). When 2.0% (w/v) of sucrose, trehalose and lactose were used, nanoparticles were completely reconstituted into aqueous solution and particle size was not significantly changed. Above 1.0% (w/v)…
A series of asymmetrically substituted dodecafluorinated phthalocyanines has been synthesized via the Kobayashi ring expansion reaction of the corresponding dodecafluorinated boron subphthalocyanine with differently substituted 1,3-diiminoisoindolines. The mild reaction conditions employed during this ring expansion r…
The acoustic emission from collapsing cavitation bubbles generated using ultrasound of 20 kHz and 515 kHz frequencies in water has been measured and correlated with sonoluminescence and hydroxyl radical production to yield further information on the frequency dependence of sonochemical reactions. A reasonable correlat…
BiFeO 3 thin films with various thicknesses were grown on (100) c SrRuO 3 ∥(100)SrTiO 3 substrates at 620°C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) for the first time. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed cube-on-cube epitaxial growth of phase-pure BiFeO 3 films with (001) orientation irrespective of the film…
With the use of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy the structure and morphology of montmorillonite (MMT), a material of current interest for use in polymer nanocomposites, was characterized. Using both imaging theory and experiment, the procedures needed to generate lattice images from MMT were establish…
We examine the structure and properties of cold drawn Ti-50.1 at % Ni and Ti-50.9 at % Ni shape memory alloy wires. Wires with both compositions possess a strong <111> fiber texture in the wire drawing direction, a grain size on the order of micrometers, and a high dislocation density. The more Ni rich wires contain f…
The first successful preparation of nanofibers of a polyampholyte (N-carboxyethylchitosan) by electrospinning was achieved by adding a non-ionogenic water-soluble polymer to the spinning solution. Using this approach, other polyelectrolytes, poly(2-acryloylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid) (PAMPS), and copolymers o…
We used a resonant ultrasound spectroscopy technique to measure the nine independent elastic constants of cyclotrimethylene trinitramine C3H6N6O6 also known by its code designation RDX. The measurements were made on a single crystal grown from acetone containing RDX in solution. The elastic constants in gigapascal uni…
Ex situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to study the crystal morphology in sputtered amorphous Ge4Sb1Te5, Ge2Sb2Te5, and Ag0.055In0.065Sb0.59Te0.29 thin films used for phase change recording. Tilting of plan view samples revealed that each crystallized growth formation is a bent single crystal. Cross-s…
High-yield multiwalled boron nitride (BN) nanotubes have been produced using a ball milling−annealing method. The BN nanotubes with a diameter less than 10 nm and a well-crystallized multiwalled structure were formed via an in situ nitriding reaction. The systematic investigation of the formation process at different…
The selection of the optimum fluoroelastomer, from the vast range available, for a high temperature or chemically aggressive application is often hampered by insufficient data on the thermal stability of the materials, especially under transient conditions. This feature describes the use of strain energy density to as…
Surfactant templated mesoporous silica thin films were prepared as the intermetal dielectric for ultralarge scaled integrated circuit application, and the thermal and chemical stability of the Cu∕nitridedTa∕mesoporous silica film stack on the Si wafer was studied. Trimethylsilylation of the mesoporous silica thin film…
Ab initio calculations suggest the possibility of forming boric acid clusters in the laboratory. The most stable form of the boric acid dimer contains two hydrogen bonds, similar to the carboxylic acid dimers. Though the trimer and the tetramer form extensions of this geometry, the pentamer prefers a bowl shape. Any a…
Neste artigo é apresentado o mundo dos cristais líquidos: o que são e como são caracterizadas as mesofases líquido-cristalinas e suas aplicações. Abordam-se as teorias fenomenológicas existentes na literatura para descrever o meio líquido-cristalino, bem como os efeitos de superfícies de contorno. Além disso, é mostra…
The hypoglycaemic drug metformin is derived from galegine, which is found naturally in Goat’s rue (gallega officinalis). This plant is speading northwards in the UK.
Titanium alloys are widely used in various industrial, domestic, and medical applications such as turbine blades, bicycle frames, knee implants, etc. The two-phase titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V (wt. percent) is considered to be a workhorse alloy for many applications in these diverse fields. Despite the large body of work…
