Dielectric relaxation studies of a series of polar diaryl molecules and of some analogous rigid molecules dispersed in atactic polystyrene and poly(vinyltoluene) have been carried out. Preparation of both polymer matrices ...

Dielectric relaxation studies of a number of diaryl molecules dispersed in atactic polystyrene and in some cases as solid discs have been carried out. Preparation of the polystyrene matrices and the solid disks, and the ...

The pyrolysis of jack pine bark, jack pine sawdust, and cellulose powder has been studied by thermogravimetric (TG), and isothermal weight-loss methods in both inert and oxidizing atmospheres. The effects of particle ...

This thesis is concerned with the preliminary studies in the synthesis of a monoterpenoid alkaloid, chaksine. Diethyl methylmalonate was alkylated with 1,3-dibromo propane to give 2-(3-bromopropyl)-2-methylmalonate. ...

The catalytic decomposition of 2-propanol has been investigated in a flow system from 200-300°C on vanadium pentoxide and modified vanadium pentoxide catalysts. Dehydration, dehydrogenation and propane formation were ...

Reactions involving nucleophilic attack of tertiary phosphines and related compounds upon acetylenic systems have been reviewed and the literature has been covered to the end of 1970. In an extension of some of the ...

Co(I) and nickel(T) complexes containing both bidentate and monodentate tetrahydroborate have been prepared from the reductions of divalent metal compounds in the presence of triphenylphosphine with ethanolic sodium ...

Dielectric absorption of aromatic and aliphatic molecules containing the rotatable substituent group and of some analogous rigid molecules in $olutions of polar solutes dispersed in an atactic polystyrene matrix are ...

The work described in this thesis is part of an ongoing effort in these laboratories to determine in more detail how a variety of factors, particularly the nature of added ligands, affects the type of products and the ...
