Phosphorus-containing imide resins
Bis- and tris-imides derived from tris (m-aminophenyl) phosphine oxides by reaction with maleic anhydride or its derivatives, and addition polymers of such imides, including a variant in which a mono-imide is condensed with a dianhydride and the product is treated with a further quantity of maleic anhydride. Such monomers or their oligomes may be used to impregnate fibers and fabrics which when cured, are flame resistant. Also an improved method of producing tris (m-aminophenyl) phosphine oxides from the nitro analogues by reduction with hydrazine hydrate using palladized charcoal or Raney nickel as the catalyst is described
Elastomer-modified phosphorus-containing imide resins
Phosphine oxide-containing polyimide resins modified by elastomers, are disclosed which have improved mechanical properties. These products are particularly useful in the production of fiber or fabric-reinforced composites or laminates
Phosphorus-containing imide resins
Cured polymers of bis and tris-imides derived from tris(m-aminophenyl) phosphine oxides by reaction with maleic anhydride or its derivatives, and addition polymers of such imides, including a variant in which a monoimide is condensed with a dianhydride and the product is treated with a further quantity of maleic anhydride prior to curing are disclosed and claimed. Such polymers are flame resistant. Also disclosed are an improved method of producing tris(m-aminophenyl) phosphine oxides from the nitro analogues by reduction with hydrazine hydrate using palladized charcoal or Raney nickel as the catalyst and fiber reinforced cured resin composites
Phosphorus-containing bisimide resins
The production of fire-resistant resins particularly useful for making laminates with inorganic fibers such as graphite fibers is discussed. The resins are by (1) condensation of an ethylenically unsaturated cyclic anhydride with a bis(diaminophenyl) phosphine oxide, and (2) by addition polymerization of the bisimide so obtained. Up to about 50%, on a molar basis, of benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid anhydride can be substituted for some of the cyclic anhydride to alter the properties of the products. Graphite cloth laminates made with these resins show 800 C char yields greater than 70% by weight in nitrogen. Limiting oxygen indexes of more than 100% are determined for these resins
Chiral spin-order in some purported Kitaev spin-liquid compounds
We examine recent magnetic torque measurements in two compounds,
-LiIrO and RuCl, which have been discussed as possible
realizations of the Kitaev model. The analysis of the reported discontinuity in
torque, as an external magnetic field is rotated across the axis in both
crystals, suggests that they have a translationally-invariant chiral spin-order
of the from in the ground
state and persisting over a very wide range of magnetic field and temperature.
An extra-ordinary dependence of the torque for small fields, beside
the usual part, is predicted due to the chiral spin-order, and found to
be consistent with experiments upon further analysis of the data. Other
experiments such as inelastic scattering and thermal Hall effect and several
questions raised by the discovery of chiral spin-order, including its
topological consequences are discussed.Comment: Clearer figures of the experimental data provided. Also clearer

Light Scattering from Nonequilibrium Concentration Fluctuations in a Polymer solution
We have performed light-scattering measurements in dilute and semidilute
polymer solutions of polystyrene in toluene when subjected to stationary
temperature gradients. Five solutions with concentrations below and one
solution with a concentration above the overlap concentration were
investigated. The experiments confirm the presence of long-range nonequilibrium
concentration fluctuations which are proportional to , where
is the applied temperature gradient and is the wave number of
the fluctuations. In addition, we demonstrate that the strength of the
nonequilibrium concentration fluctuations, observed in the dilute and
semidilute solution regime, agrees with theoretical values calculated from
fluctuating hydrodynamics. Further theoretical and experimental work will be
needed to understand nonequilibrium fluctuations in polymer solutions at higher
concentrations.Comment: revtex, 16 pages, 7 figures. J. Chem. Phys., to appea

Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconducting surfaces under electric fields
A boundary condition for the Ginzburg-Landau wave function at surfaces biased
by a strong electric field is derived within the de Gennes approach. This
condition provides a simple theory of the field effect on the critical
temperature of superconducting layers.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Singular Effects of Impurities near the Ferromagnetic Quantum-Critical Point
Systematic theoretical results for the effects of a dilute concentration of
magnetic impurities on the thermodynamic and transport properties in the region
around the quantum critical point of a ferromagnetic transition are obtained.
In the quasi-classical regime, the dynamical spin fluctuations enhance the
Kondo temperature. This energy scale decreases rapidly in the quantum
fluctuation regime, where the properties are those of a line of critical points
of the multichannel Kondo problem with the number of channels increasing as the
critical point is approached, except at unattainably low temperatures where a
single channel wins out.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
