However, the thermotropic properties of Schiff base’s ester (or alkanoyloxy) with chloro terminal group remained unstudied. Approach: Synthesis a series of new Schiff base ester possessing polar chloro group and investigate its mesomorphic properties. The title compounds were prepared via condensation and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 12,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTribochemical Performance of Cell-treated Nickel MatrixBing Shi, Thomas B. Kuhn, Hong Liang, Lawrence K. DuffyNickel (Ni) has been studied as a biomaterial for a long time because of the unique mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. In this study, the frictional properties and wettability of Ni under dry and lubricated conditions, including cell treatment, were compared in order to investigate its tribological performance under conditions similar to that in a human body. The wettability was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptical Characterization of Lead-Bismuth Phosphate GlassesH. A.A. Sidek, M. Hamezan, A. W. Zaidan et al.Systematic series of lead-bismuth phosphate glasses, where PbO, Bi2O3 and P2O5 content change for every series based on their weight percentage have been prepared. The optical properties were measured and their amorphous nature was confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique. Both experiments were conducted at room temperature. The fundamental absorption edge for all the glasses was analyzed. The values of refractive … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
