A secondary battery (accumulator) employing molten metals or metal alloys as active masses at both electrodes and a salt electrolyte in between is called an all-liquid-metal accumulator (LMB). Separation of the liquid based on segregation caused by different densities immiscibility materials characteristic feature. High coulometric storage capabilities molten-metal combined with relatively low ...

ABSTRACT Since the introduction of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as an useful alternative to the classical tetrahydrofuran, there has been a continuous interest in the synthetic community operating at academic and industrial towards it. In particular, the much higher stability that basic organometallic reagents display in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran makes it suitable for processes involving such sensitiv...

We investigate the phase diagram of a two-component associating fluid mixture in the presence of selectively adsorbing substrates. The mixture is characterized by a bulk phase diagram that displays peculiar features such as closed loops of immiscibility. The presence of the substrates may interfere with the physical mechanism involved in the appearance of these phase diagrams, leading to an enh...

Acrylate–alkyd hybrid latex via miniemulsion polymerizations show promise as water-borne coating systems. However, poor homogeneity of the particles caused by the immiscibility of the alkyd in polyacrylate limits monomer conversion and film formation. To resolve this problem, the hybrid miniemulsion polymerization of acrylate in the presence of linoleic acid and sunflower seed oil was carried o...

Thermally responsive bulk polymer films utilizing reversible Diels-Alder chemistry have been developed. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were passivated with thiol-terminated poly(styrene)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PS-b-PEG) copolymer ligand, where the PS and PEG blocks are joined via a Diels-Alder (DA) linkage. The ligand-functionalized nanoparticles were dispersed within a microphase-separated PS-b-...

The technique of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching is used to perform an extensive study of the lateral diffusion of a phospholipid probe in the binary mixture dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine/cholesterol, above the melting temperature of the phospholipid. In the regions of the phase diagram where a single liquid phase exists, diffusion can be quantitatively described by free volume theo...

A millimeter-sized fluorite crystal found in leucocratic syenite of the Velykovyska massif on Ukrainian Shield became object study. This is a irregular shape with smoothed corners, broken by system contraction cracks inlaid basnäsite-(Ce). The latter characterized REE content 57± 5 wt. %, CaO - 3.3 ± 0.25 % and Ce2O3 : La2O3 Nd2O3 ratio 6 4 1. detailed study using microprobe JXA-733 an electron...

Gabal El-Ineigi fluorite-bearing rare-metal granite with A-type affinity, located in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt, is distinguished by its abundance large fluorite-quartz veins and mafic enclaves. Plagioclase (labradorite to oligoclase), Mg-rich biotite, hornblende are main components enclaves, significant amounts fluorite as essential phases, titanite Fe-Ti oxides (Nb-free rutile ilmeni...

The saturation vapour pressure of {x BF3 + (1−x)n-C4H10} has been measured at 195.49 K. The system shows large positive deviations from Raoult’s law and liquid–liquid immiscibility over a wide composition range whose limits have been estimated as 0.39±0.03 < x > 0.9785. The excess molar Gibbs energies (Gm) have been calculated as a function of composition from the vapour pressure data. For the ...
