Alumina And Synthesis Intermediates Derived From Diethylkaluminum Amide, Benzaldehyde And Water, Stephen E. Hall, Lize Wilcox, William S. Tyree, David A. Lindquist, Malay K. Mazumder
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The reaction of diethylaluminum amide [Et2AINH2] with benzaldehyde in toluene produces a solution of ethylaluminoxane polymer [EtAlO] and hydrobenzamide [PhCH=NCH(Ph)N=CHPh]. Alumina then is precipitated by the addition of water. Transition aluminas that may be useful in heterogeneous catalyst applications are obtained after calcining. Details of the chemistry of solution intermediates according to 1H NMR and the properties of the alumina product according to surface area analyses and powder x-ray diffraction are described.

Modification Of Surface Properties Of Polymeric Materials, Rajesh Sharma, Robert A. Sims, Malay K. Mazumder
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Polymeric materials are successfully used in virtually all industries ranging from semiconductors, and coatings, to household appliances, automotive, and biomedical implants. Polymers generally have excellent bulk physical and chemical properties. However, certain properties of polymers such as low surface energy, low wettability, and high electrical resistivity sometimes limit their applications. Changing the bulk formulation of the polymers can alter some of these properties, but in general this is not acceptable as it can affect "desirable" bulk properties. Surface modification techniques have been used to alter polymer surfaces without affecting the bulk properties of the material. Most polymers have very high …

Analysis Of Plastics In The Tyre Industry Using Fourier Transform Infrared Techniques, Differential Scanning Calorimetry And Softening Point Apparatus, Ching Ching Loh
Student Works (2000-2009)
The plastics in a tyre factory were investigated. The plastics were analysed by FTlR-transmission, FTI.R-ATR, softening point apparatus as well as a Differential Scanning Calorimeter. All the plastics were detected to be polyethene based with melting point range of 107 to 125°C. It was also observed that The FTIR transmission spectrum can be different from the FTIR-ATR spectrum. The FTIR-ATR spectrum gives a higher band intensity at longer wavelengths compared to the FTIR-Transmission spectrum. Interference fringes can be present in the FTlR transmission spectrum. In addition to the above, it was also found that the melting point of plastics obtained …
