Abstract A simple cyclitol derivative has been found to gelate many low‐polar solvents. A detailed molecular level investigation demonstrated that the intermolecular head‐to‐tail hydrogen bond plays a key role in the self‐assembly of the monomers to generate supramolecular polymeric fibres. Such self‐assembled oligome…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) hold great promise for advanced applications in aerospace, electronics and medicine, yet these industries require materials with rigorous quality control. There are currently no accepted standards for quality assurance or quality control among the commercial suppliers of SWNTs. W…
Clusters of self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) in the form of parallel crowdions are created directly in high-energy displacement cascades produced in metals by neutron irradiation. They are equivalent to small perfect dislocation loops and, in isolation in pure metals, undergo fast thermally-activated glide in the direct…
Abstract Blends of poly[(R)3‐hydroxybutyryric acid) (PHB) with different plasticizers were investigated by TGA, DSC, OM and mechanical testing. Markedly hydrophilic plasticizers promote PHB thermal‐degradation through a light alcoholysis reaction. All the used plasticizers were compatible with PHB up to a maximum load…
The effective repulsive energy between the carriers in a molecular dimer has been examined in terms of the extended Hubbard model. The intermolecular Coulomb repulsion, V , rather than the intradimer transfer integral, t , has been shown to give major contribution to the effective repulsion in a strongly dimerized cas…
Abstract The first synthesis of benzo[1,2‐ c :3,4‐ c ']bis[1,2,5]selenadiazole has been developed starting from commercially available 4‐nitrobenzo‐2,1,3‐selenadiazole. Improved syntheses of the related heterocycles [1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4‐ e ]‐2,1,3‐benzothiadiazole, furazanobenzo‐2,1,3‐thiadiazole and furazanobenzo…
Negatively corona-charged 50-/spl mu/m-thick polypropylene (PP) film is measured using laser-induced pressure pulse (LIPP) and thermally stimulated current (TSC) in order to study the charge storage mechanism in the PP film. The LIPP can reveal the space-charge distribution in the depth direction of the PP films and t…
As lithographic technology drives the minimum integrated circuit feature size toward 0.1 /spl mu/m and below, process tolerances for critical-dimension profile excursion are becoming increasingly demanding. In response, optical critical dimension metrology (OCD), an optical-wavelength light-diffraction technique, is e…
Background data are presented that support a concept for galvanic and ion exchange release of cathodic (oxygen reduction) corrosion inhibitors from conducting polyaniline (PANI). Such inherently conducting polymers can be potentially formulated into protective coatings for Cu-rich aluminum alloys. The results show tha…
This work investigates the C K-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), valence-band photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of Si-doped hydrogenated amorphous carbon films. The C K-edge XANES and valence-band PES spectra indicate that the sp2∕sp3 population ratio decr…
This study was undertaken to obtain a picture of the environmental quality of 6 springs in the Ligurian Alps, situated within the Natural Reserve of the Upper Pesio and Tanaro Valleys in the Piemonte Region of NW Italy. Benthic diatom communities were sampled in Spring, Summer and Autumn of 2001. Based on 98 identifie…
Abstract Biodegradable blend films containing sodium alginate, polyvinyl alcohol and glycerol, for agricultural applications, were prepared by casting of aqueous solutions. Since the mechanical properties of alginate are not suitable for agricultural applications, the addition of polyvinyl alcohol and glycerol was nec…
Abstract A series of poly(propylene) silica‐grafted‐hyperbranched polyester nanocomposites by grafting the modified hyperbranched polyester (Boltorn™ H20), possessing theoretically 50% end carboxylic groups and 50% end hydroxyl groups, which endcapped with octadecyl isocyanate (C19), onto the surface of SiO 2 particle…
Copolymers of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) showed good hemocompatibility as hypothesized. The hypothesis was surfaces having phosphorylcholine groups by polymerization of MPC could accumulate phospholipids from blood stream and show good blood compatibility. We designed and prepared a methacylate hav…
Ceramic samples of LaSr 2 Fe 3 - y Cr y O 8+ δ ( y = 0, 0.3, 0.6, and 1.0) were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction, thermal gravimetry, dilatometry, and total conductivity measurements in the temperature range 750−950 °C at oxygen partial pressures between 10 - 22 and 0.5 atm. When prepared in air, the doped…
In this paper, we present a new statistical analysis method of phase-resolved partial discharge (PD) measurements for the quality assessment of electrical insulation in high-voltage machinery. The method is based on a supervised classification approach which utilizes histogram similarity analysis. The motivation for c…
Complexes of silver in the oxidation states II and III are frequently considered to be unstable and rare. However, the silver complexes of porphyrins, corroles, and carbaporphyrins are stable and well characterized examples of silver in these high oxidation states. Moreover, these complexes should not be regarded as e…
This paper describes seven new Gomphonema species from the Himalaya and provides information about their ecology with respect to water chemistry and habitat character. Diatoms were collected during surveys of over 200 Himalayan streams between 1993 and 2000. The geographical distribution, which covers a 1000 km east-w…
CdS nanoparticles with average radius Ro = 2.2 nm have been investigated by Raman scattering measurements. The nanoparticles, synthesized using aqueous solution precipitation, are small enough to show effects due to confinement. In the Raman spectra of CdS nanoparticles an asymmetric Raman line was observed. The domin…
Crystallisations are frequent process steps in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). They are the primary means of intermediate or product formation and separation to achieve the desired purity and form. These unit operations are complex processes which are difficult to control due to the interl…
