An investigation on using pre-treated tyre rubber as a replacement of synthetic polymers for bitumen modification

2015

Rubberized bitumen obtained through a swelling process, has widely proven to be a successful technology for asphalt pavement applications and a solution to reduce the dismantling of tyre rubber on landfills. However, this technology presents two main operative issues which needs the adoption of costly special equipment. Firstly, significant high value of High Temperature Viscosity (HTV) which imposes mixing and compaction difficulties and leads to increased energy consumption and emissions. Furthermore, during the hot storage period, phase separation between rubber particles and the base bitumen could occur. Developing Recycled Tyre Rubber Modified Bitumen (RTR-MBs) with improved storage st…

Tuneable pH-regulated supramolecular copolymerisation by mixing mismatched dendritic peptide comonomers

2015

Charged phenylalanine-rich dendritic peptides form highly stable and pH-switchable rod-like supramolecular copolymers, when co-assembled with a matching oppositely charged dendritic comonomer. Here, we demonstrate that by mismatching a strong with a weak β-sheet encoded comonomer, both the stability and the pH-triggered disassembly of the copolymers shifts drastically from pH 4.2 to biologically relevant pH 5.8.

In order to investigate the influences of different end-groups on oligomer miscibility with other substances, oligo(propylene glycol)s bearing OH groups (OPG-OH) studied in the previous paper2, were acetylated at both ends (OPG-AC). The limits of miscibility of OPG-AC with oligo(dimethylsiloxane) (ODMS) were measured turbidimetrically. A simple and reliable method for the determination of the critical points from turbidity data is presented. The observed upper critical temperatures (Tc) increase with degree of oligomerization of ODMS (ranging from 1 to 5), whereas Tc shows a minimum when the degree of oligomerization of the OPG-AC is raised (from 1 to 57,5). For lower mol. wt. oligoglycols,…

Manufacturing, structure and properties of recycled polyethylene terephthalate /liquid crystal polymer/montmorillonite clay nanocomposites

2013

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/liquid crystal polymer (LCP)/monthmorillonite clay (MMT) compositions were obtained by melt mixing. Their mechanical, structural, rheological and thermal properties were investigated.

Random quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium tantalate

2009

We experimentally observed and explained bulk second harmonic generation via random quasi-phase-matching, derived from a periodically poled lithium tantalate sample with a randomly patterned mark-to-space-ratio.

The structure of ammonium pyrazolates in the solid state

2006

The crystals obtained by mixing equimolar amounts of diethyl 1H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate and the primary amines phenethylamine and homoveratrylamine are ammonium pyrazolate salts as determined by 13C and 15N CPMAS NMR. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Über die lösungswärme von polystyrol in verschiedenen lösungsmitteln

1951

An einem Polystyrol mit einem Molekulargewicht von ca. 20 000 werden die Losungs-warmen in verschiedenen Losungsmitteln in einem Kalorimeter bestimmt. Die meisten Losungsvorgange verlaufen exotherm, in einem Fall (Cyclohexan) wird jedoch bei der Auflosung Warme von der Umgebung aufgenommen. Es wird festgestellt, das die Trocknung der Praparate sehr wichtig fur die Reproduzierbarkeit der Messungen ist. Ferner wird orientierend die Abhangigkeit der Losungswarme vom Polymerisationsgrad sowie von der Konzentration der entstehenden Losung festgestellt. Es wird auserdem orientierend die Mischungswarme von Athylbenzol in verschiedenen Losungsmitteln bestimmt. Measurements of the heat of solution o…

Solid-state-biased coherent detection of ultra-broadband terahertz pulses

2017

Significant progress in nonlinear and ultrafast optics has recently opened new and exciting opportunities for terahertz (THz) science and technology, which require the development of reliable THz sources, detectors, and supporting devices. In this work, we demonstrate the first solid-state technique for the coherent detection of ultra-broadband THz pulses (0.1-10 THz), relying on the electric-field-induced second-harmonic generation in a thin layer of ultraviolet fused silica. The proposed CMOS-compatible devices, which can be realized with standard microfabrication techniques, allow us to perform ultra-broadband detection with a high dynamic range by employing probe laser powers and bias v…

Conversational code-switching in a video game context in Finland

2015

Tämän proseminaari-työn tarkoitus on tutkia, millaista suomen ja englannin kielen välillä tapahtuvaa koodinvaihtoa suomalaisessa tietokonepelidiskurssissa on sekä selvittää, pitävätkö keskustelijat itse koodinvaihtoa merkityksellisenä ja mitä merkityksiä se keskustelussa saa. Koodinvaihtoa on tutkittu kieliopillisesta, sosiolingvistisestä, kaksikielisyyden ja keskustelunanalyysin näkökulmasta. Tutkimusala on saanut näkyvyyttä viimeisen kymmenen vuoden aikana muun muassa englannin kielen kasvavan aseman kautta. Suomessa koodinvaihtoa on tutkittu monessa eri kontekstissa fan fictionista radioon ja Internetin jalkapallofoorumeihin. Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee koodinvaihtoa kahden äidinkielenään …
