The thermal decomposition of various fluorocarbon polymers were investigated; volatile products of the decomposition were determined along with the overall rates of volatilization, and from these rates the activation energies were calculated for...
Ethylene; linear copolymers; propylene; pyrolysis; rate studies
The rates of volatilization of linear polymers of ethylene and propylene and their copolymers are somewhat characteristic of random degradation in that a maximum occurs in the rate curve for all polymers studied. Increasing amounts of propylene in...
Pyrolysis of monodisperse poly-alpha-methylstyrene of wide molecular weight range (M:25,000-5,000,000) was studied isothermally under vacuum in the temperature range 240-280 C. Thermogravimetric analysis was used for measuring the rate of...
A study was made of the thermal behavior in a vacuum of polystyrene, polytetra fluoroethylene, poly (alpha-methylstyrene), polypropylene, polyisobutylene, and poly (methyl methacrylate), when pyrolized at 500, 800, and 1,200 °C. The volatile...
Captions: Annual Reports for: 1904, p. 903; 1908, p. 683; 1909, p. 767-768 By 1921 pyrometric control stations in heavy industry had become "nearly as intricate as a telephone central station," a far cry from the days when high temperatures were...

A. Pyrophyllite tetrahedron as cut. B. Pyrophyllite tetrahedron with drilled hole to receive the specimen shown, with silver foil contacts and prisms of Pyrophyllite to fill notches at ends of the hole. C. Pyrophyllite tetrahedron, assembled as in...
Given an undirected network, we describe a two-dimensional graphical measure based on the connected component distribution of its degree-limited subgraphs. This process yields an unambiguous visual portrait, which reveals important network...
A procedure is presented to convert the comparison of measured fluorescence signals into a comparison of fluorescence yields (FY). The fluorescence yield, which is a property of a solution or a suspension, is defined as the product of the...
The quantitation of fluorescence radiance may at first suggest the need to obtain the number of fluorophore that are responsible for the measured fluorescence radiance. This goal is beset by many difficulties since the fluorescence radiance depends...
The present work uses fluorescein as the model fluorophore and points out critical steps in the use of MESF (Molecules of Equivalent Soluble Fluorophores) values for quantitative flow cytometric measurements. It has been found that emission...
