A novel optical compensator with a negative birefringence structure is proposed to widen the viewing angle of twisted-nematic liquid-crystal displays (TN-LCDs). We describes the design concept and the simulation results to give a theoretical basis for the development of this new class of material. Computer simulation…

ESR spectra of oxochromium(V) porphyrins were obtained to investigate the electronic structure of the Cr(V)=O moiety. At room temperature, the chlorooxochromium(V) meso-tetramesitylporphyrin complex 1-Cl exhibits an isotropic ESR signal, split into nine signals due to hyperfine coupling with four equivalent( 14)N, at…

The viability of using the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method for quantitative analysis of the diffuse X-ray or neutron scattering from single crystals of disordered materials is investigated. The method has been applied to a number of two- and three-dimensional model examples in which both occupational and displacement…

The human estrogen-related receptor �1 (hERR�1) is an orphan member of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily. A cDNA encoding this protein was originally isolated on the basis of sequence similarity in its DNA-binding domain with estrogen receptor � (ER�). Previously, we reported the purification of hERR�1…

The concept of random first order transitions with configurational entropy crises provides a theoretical framework for understanding the glass transition. This paper discusses such transitions in exactly solvable spin glass models and in globular random heteropolymers and their relation to glass transitions in molecul…

Abstract We have developed a method for observing transverse swelling of cellulosic fibres in the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The presence of liquid water in the ESEM specimen chamber allows the observation of in situ hydration without the need for coating, freezing, or drying of the sample. For…

Abstract The “in‐situ” compatibilization for a PET/LCP blend via transesterification reactions in a twin‐screw extruder having a very short residence time is investigated through thermal, rheological, and mechanical studies. Inclusion of a small amount of liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) enhanced the crystallization r…

A comprehensive experimental study on the late stages of phase separation in two dimensions was performed by phase separating thin (1.5 and 10 \ensuremath{\mu}m) films of off- and near-critical polymer solutions. The resulting domain-size growth rate (coarsening rate) of the dispersed phase was directly measured for s…

The environmental effects on the mechanical properties of fiber‐reinforced composites at intermediate temperatures were investigated by conducting flexural static‐fatigue experiments in air at 600° and 950°C. The material that was studied was a silicon carbide/boron nitride (SiC/BN) dual‐coated Nicalon‐fiber‐reinforce…

The interaction between two plates coated by adsorbed polymer layers is considered theoretically in the marginal solvent regime. A novel mean-field approach that takes into account the effect of chain ends is proposed. The approach generalizes the well-known ground-state dominance theory. It is shown that the effect o…

Reaction-induced phase separation of polymer blends was examined by optical microscopy in this work. Four distinct types of ordering processes were observed when a miscible polymer blend was photo-cross-linked in the one-phase region located between the coexistence curve and the glass transition temperatures. These st…
