The experiments to be prepared can be classified into 3 categories: to be used in junior undergraduate laboratories (2nd and 3rd year) to be used in senior undergraduate laboratories (4th year elective courses such as "Introduction to Solid State Chemistry and Inorganic Materials" and "Inorganic Structural Chemistry" to be used for the senior undergraduate students[...]
The idea of thermoplastic elastomers brought a big innovation to the rubber industry as well as the field of the polymer science. The rubber materials, which have no need of vulcanization and are easy to be recycled, have attracted the technological and academic interests for these years. The mechanical performance of the thermoplastic elastomers is[...]
1. Glossary of terms, quantities, units of radioactivity and related quantities and their definitions in SI of units (and other obsolete systems of units). Nuclide and radionuclide overview: nucleon properties, valley of beta stability, isotopes, isobars, isotones, isomers, isodiaspheres; nuclide properties: energy levels, parity, nuclear spin, decay schemes, common and exotic decay modes, binding energy,[...]
The present proposal is prepared as to have a very broad and interdisciplinary scope for impacting on many fields related to chemistry and biophysical chemistry. It would permit promoting IUPAC activities and competence to a wider non-chemistry scientific community. It is largely inspired in early activities of the International Symposia on the Properties of Water[...]
The synthesis and modification of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCP) for different final applications are currently hot topics of industrial as well as academic research. The copolymerization of different comonomers leads to polymers with different liquid crystalline characteristics, melting temperatures, rheological behavior. The incorporation of some comonomers is applied to reduce the processing temperature but[...]
In literature and practical use it is obvious that there is a significant lack of a collection and unequivocal definitions of such terms in the field of polymer science. Some terms are even used in entirely different contexts or with different meanings to those intended. This project shall give definitions of terms related to thermal[...]
Modulated-temperature differential scanning thermal analysis techniques are widely used in many fields. Particularly in pharmaceutical, food and polymer studies where first order transitions, glass transitions and polymorphism are key issues. All sorts of relaxation phenomena as well as coupled thermal and kinetic contributions can advantageously be investigated and selectively studied with such techniques. Produced commercially[...]
This Educational Project in Polymer Characterisation is particularly suited for students from developing and emerging regions, scientists from national laboratories or R&D employees from relevant Industries to up-date their knowledge and skills in polymer characterization by interactive oral courses presented (1 day) by distinguished scientists. Since this annual course is moving to a new place[...]
The book will contain about 20 chapters on all aspects of the heat capacity of liquids and vapours. The chapters will involve theory, experimental methods, and techniques, interesting results on soultions, liquids, vapours, mixtures, electrolytes, critical regions, polymers, glassy states, reactions, effects of high pressure and phase changes. Each chapter will be written by an[...]
This Educational Project in Polymer Characterization is particularly suited for students and young researchers from developing countries. Intensive training will be provided by the distinguished scientists from reputed laboratories of the world. Since the tutorial proceeds an important international conference (World Forum on Advanced Materials: POLYCHAR 19), the tutorial serves as a good opportunity to[...]
