Abstract Improvements in physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of an epoxy network are made with the use of a unique class of molecules that reinforce the network at the molecular scale. These molecules are commonly referred to as antiplasticizers or fortifiers. In this contribution, two types of fortifiers are…
We have investigated the crystalline structure and the magnetic properties of La 1- x Pr x CoO 3 single crystals. The crystalline symmetry is rhombohedral R \bar3 c for 0 ≤ x ≤0.3, and orthorhombic P n m a for 0.7 ≤ x ≤1. The lattice volume decreases monotonically with increasing Pr content due to the smaller ionic ra…
Abstract Vinyl trimethoxysilane (VTMS) was grafted onto metallocene‐based polyethylene–octene elastomer (POE) using a free‐radical reaction of VTMS and dicumyl peroxide as an initiator, and then the grafted POE was crosslinked in the presence of water. The effects of VTMS concentration on crystallization behavior, mec…
Abstract Taguchi method is applied in this study to determine the optimum level of curing system (sulfur, MBTS, and CBS) in a NBR/PVC blend. By considering physicomechanical properties of cured NBR/PVC blend, optimum level of curing system is determined. A fixed master batch formulation of NBR/PVC is used, and the eff…
Abstract Hydrophilic coatings based on 3‐glicidoxy propyl trimethoxy silane (GPTMS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) were prepared with the incorporation of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and silica nanoparticle colloidal suspension by a sol–gel process. Characterization of the coatings has been performed by Fourier Transform…
We investigated the effects of the alignment and ordering of pi-conjugated perfluorinated dendrimers containing pyrene moieties in their cores on their photoluminescence (PL) properties. The pyrene molecules are stacked in columns surrounded by aromatic and semifluorinated tails, which can be conjugated and act as chr…
Abstract Wood was treated with a new composite flame retardant (FRW), with its components guanyl urea phosphate (GUP) and boric acid (BA) to impart flame retardance. The flame retarding behavior of these samples was valued by cone calorimeter. The flammability parameters, including rate of heat release (RHR), total he…
Motivated by the recent discovery of a low temperature spin liquid phase in layered organic compound $\ensuremath{\kappa}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{(\mathrm{ET})}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}{(\mathrm{C}\mathrm{N})}_{3}$ which becomes a superconductor under pressure, we examine the phase transition of Mott insulating and supercond…
A layer-by-layer deposited polyelectrolyte spacer is used to attach CdSe nanocrystals (NCs), dye molecules and fluorescein-labelled bovine serum albumin (BSA-FITC) to flat glass and rough silver island surfaces in order to study the effect of spacer thickness on homogeneity and surface concentration of fluorophore cov…
Abstract The knowledge of biomedical implants ranging from drug delivery devices to tissue engineering and based on bioresorbable polymer composites is increasing, but the study of the crystallization kinetics of these kinds of composites is seldom a concern. The focus of our experimental research was the nonisotherma…
A novel mixed technique based on wet-chemistry plus mechanochemical activation has been applied to obtain the Na 1- x Sr x Nb 1- x Ti x O 3 solid solution with x = 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 0.9. The wet-chemistry step aims at a better mixing of the constituent elements before the mechanical treatment, and thus, at a b…
Abstract Low temperature plasma (LTP) treatment was applied to wool fabric with the use of a nonpolymerizing gas, namely oxygen. Properties of the LTP‐treated samples including low stress mechanical behavior, air permeability, and thermal characteristics were evaluated in this study. Kawabata evaluation system fabric…
Abstract The possibility of organic modification of montmorillonite (MMT) in hydrocarbon solvents by employing ionic liquid‐type surfactants was investigated. As a first example, 1‐methyl‐3‐tetradecylimidazolium chloride ([C 14 mim] + Cl − ) was used to treat pristine MMT in xylene. The dispersion of MMT in xylene was…
DnaG is the primase that lays down RNA primers on single-stranded DNA during bacterial DNA replication. The solution structure of the DnaB-helicase-binding C-terminal domain of Escherichia coli DnaG was determined by NMR spectroscopy at near-neutral pH. The structure is a rare fold that, besides occurring in DnaG C-te…
Super skinny: TaS2 nanowires with a high aspect ratio (50 000:1; see micrograph) are synthesized from the elements in a one-step reaction. The single-crystalline 2H-TaS2 nanowires are superconducting, with a transition temperature (Tc=3.4 K) that is enhanced compared to that of the bulk material (Tc=0.8 K).
Abstract Wheat straw is an abundantly available and potentially valuable biomass that is currently under‐exploited. In this study, the feasibility of using wheat straw as a filler in high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)‐based composites was explored. Straw was treated with the white‐rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus with the…
Abstract Chitosan membranes were first prepared by a thermally induced phase separation method and then alginate was coated on one side of the membranes by a modified dialysis apparatus to prepare alginate/chitosan membranes (A/C membranes). Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), scanning electron microsc…
Abstract In this article we present the result of a comparative study of two kinds of polymerization methods—solution polymerization (sol. poly.) and dispersion polymerization (dis. poly.) for grafting polymer onto silica. As a model for the grafting polymerization reaction, styrene was chosen as the monomer and azo d…
Abstract A series of segmented polyurethanes (PUs) with novel thermosensitive shape‐memory behavior were synthesized via the in situ addition of a small amount of 1‐octadecanol (ODO) to a PU system. For comparison, liquid paraffin (LP) modified PUs were also synthesized. The effects of a small amount of ODO or LP on t…
Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) can be dissolved in a nonaqueous medium in the presence of catalytic concentration of ethyl nitrate dimethyl sulfoxide, C 2 H 5 ONO 2 ·DMSO. From the PVA solution, poly(vinyl propionate), PVPR was prepared by the homogeneous esterification of PVA with propionic acid. The ester thus f…
