The microstructure of highly aggregated colloidal dispersions was investigated by probing the rheological behavior of magnetic suspensions. The dynamic moduli as functions of frequency and strain amplitude are shown to closely resemble that of colloidal gels indicating the formation of network structure. The two types of characteristic critical strain amplitudes, γ_c and γ_y, were characterized in terms of the changing microstructure. The amplitude of γ_c indicates the transition from linear to nonlinear viscoelasticity and depends only on particle volume fraction not magnetic interactions. The study of scaling behavior suggests that it is related to the breakage of interfloc, i.e., floc-floc structure. However, yielding strain, γ_y, was found to be independent of particle volume fraction as well as magnetic interaction. It relates to extensive deformation resulting in yielding behavior. The scaling of elastic constant, G_e, implies that this yielding behavior and hence γ_y is due to the breakage of long-range interfloc interactions. Also, the deformation of flocs due to increase strain was indicated from the investigation of the fractal nature.

In this research commercial polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was modified using $TiO_2$ nanoparticles (P-25 Degussa) and further irradiated using UV light to overcome the hydrophobicity and fouling nature of the membrane. Further the membranes were characterized using SEM and FTIR. Contact angle measurements study confirmed the hydrophilic tendency of the modified membrane by decreasing the contact angle from $73^{\circ}$ to $20.28^{\circ}$. The modified membranes showed higher flux and better anti-fouling properties as compared to the unmodified counterparts. The optimum conditions were found to be 0.5 wt% $TiO_2$ loading with 60 min membrane immersion and 10 min UV light illumination. The effect of different pH conditions of feed was analysed. Real wastewater filtration experiments also indicated better performance of modified membranes as opposed to neat PES membranes.

We demonstrate rutile $TiO_2$ branched nanostructure ($TiO_2$-BN) electrodes synthesized by seeding method for enhanced lithium intercalation properties. The morphology and crystalline nature of the $TiO_2$-BN were clearly observed by field-emission transmission electron microscopy and fast Fourier transform pattern. The $TiO_2$-BN electrodes showed excellent capacity and high rate performance. The improved lithium-ion intercalation properties of the $TiO_2$- BN may be attributed to relatively large specific surface area and short transport distance of the branched nanostructure.

We prepared amino acid-derived diacetylene monomers using solid-phase organic synthesis. The solid-phase synthetic method allowed for the rapid and efficient preparation of functional diacetylenes. Amino acids having hydrophobic sidechains such as alanine, leucine, and phenylalanine, as well as hydrophilic sidechains such as aspartic acid and lysine, were successfully coupled to the diacetylene lipid. The diacetylene monomers prepared in this way were subjected to routine procedures for the generation of polydiacetylene vesicles. Depending on the nature of the side-chains, pink to blue colored polydiacetylenes were generated.

Complicated dynamical behavior can occur in model reference adaptive control systems when two external sinusoidal signals are introduced although the plant and reference model are stable linear first older systems. The phase portrait plot and the power spectral analysis indicate chaotic behavior. In the system treated, a positive Lyapuniov exponent and non-integer dimension clearly manifest chaotic nature of the system.

Most of the process control algorithms in practice are based on the finite dimensional control theory. However, many chemical processes are described by partial differential equations (PDE's) and are infinite dimensional in nature due to spatial variation. Especially when the convection is dominant and thus diffusion can be ignored, chemical processes that are described by a system of first order hyperbolic PDE's. Such processes include tubular reactors, fixed bed reactors and pressure swinging adsorption. Conventionally such infinite dimensional systems described by PDE's are controlled by finite dimensional controllers that are designed through finite dimensional reduction of the process m...

Polyimides (PI) are widely used in applications ranging from microelectronics to aerospace. Due to their insulating nature, significant accumulation of electrostatic charge may result on their surface, causing local heating and premature degradation to electronic components or space structures. Over the past decade, several publications have been made in fabrication and charaterization of CNT nanocomposites [1,2]. (omitted)

An attempt has been made to investigate the nature of the characteristic darkening reaction occurring in the rice bran oil during the storage. Several pigments were separated by using column and thin layer chromatography of the pigments was made in the light of the knowledge of absorption spectral behavior. The presence of trace amount of iron and phytosteryl esters of ferulic acid (3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid) was found to be responsible for the development of the characteristic color in rice bran oil. The model reactions with the ferulate, iron and fatty acids could be suggested the mechanism.

Benzoin condensation reactions of furfurals and thiophenecarboxaldehydes in the presence of substituted benzyl and alkyl thiazolium salts were examined in order to improve the yield of the reaction and to examine the effect of the electronic nature of the catalysts. Thiophene derivatives gave thenils as the major products in low yields while furan derivatives gave only furoins in moderate to high yields.

The intrinsic barrier in the methyl transfer reaction $X^- + CH_3X \rightleftharpoons XCH_3 + X^-$ has been shown to vary quadratically with the C-X distance d; linear dependence of the intrinsic barrier on the deformation energies or methyl cation affinities of the substrate, $CH_3X$, should therefore hold only approximately in a narrow range of structural variations in X.
