The molecular dynamics of amorphous and liquid-crystalline (LC) side-chain polycarbonates was studied by dielectric spectroscopy at frequencies from 10(-2) to 10(6) Hz and at temperatures from -160 to 180 degrees C. 'Model' compounds containing no mesogenic side-groups showed two relaxations, which originate from the carbonate group (alpha, beta(m)-relaxation). By contrast, in LC-polycarbonates bearing a mesogenic nitrostilbene side group around and above the glass transition temperature Tg UP to three relaxation modes were distinguished (alpha-, lambda(1)-, lambda(2)-process);below T-g four secondary relaxations (gamma-, beta(m)-, beta(s)-, beta(sc)- relaxation) were observed. The gamma-relaxation was found only in compounds possessing an aliphatic spacer linked to the backbone by an ether bond. Apart from beta(m)-, two additional beta-processes were identified as relaxations associated with the mesogenic unit in the glassy (beta(s)) or in the crystalline state (beta(sc)).

The thermal behavior of thermotropic hydroxyethyl cellulose acetate (HECA)/polyethylene (PE) blends has been studied by DSC. It is found that the blends of HECA and PE are immiscible but the crystallization of PE is affected by HECA chains in the blends with more than 50% HECA, which results in the subordinate crystallization of PE and the formation of imperfect structures in the PE crystals. The imperfection of PE crystals in the blends can be eliminated after annealing at 393K.
The cleaning effectiveness of flowing hydrogen to remove oxygen (adsorbed and metal oxide) and carbon (elemental, carbides and carbon-hydrogen complex) from the surface of nanostructured alpha-iron and M50 type steel ...
The cleaning effectiveness of flowing hydrogen to remove oxygen (adsorbed and metal oxide) and carbon (elemental, carbides and carbon-hydrogen complex) from the surface of nanostructured alpha-iron and M50 type steel (Fe-Cr-Mo-V-C) alloy powders was investigated. The hydrogen treated powders and consolidated material were examined by bulk chemical analysis and metallographic examination. The trends in the cleaning effectiveness compared favorably with predictions from Richardson and Jeffies plots of metal-metal oxide equilibria.
