Abstract: Furfural (Furan-2-carbaldehyde) dissolved in transformer oil is regarded as an important mark of the thermal and mechanical degradation in oil-paper insulation. Confocal laser Raman ...

Abstract: Local electric field factors have been calculated for cyclohexane and ethyl laurate liquids by using a force-field model for the local field response to an external field based on liquid ...

Some of the most elegant reactions in organic synthesis work just like an elaborate arrangement of dominos: Set up the reagents just so, and all it takes is a little catalytic push to make the pieces ...

Chemists have found that the all-cis isomer of hexafluorocyclohexane, a molecule that made headlines last year for being the most polar aliphatic compound known, is capable of binding both cations and ...

A German research team has investigated the use of zeotropic fluid mixtures as the working fluid in high-temperature heat pumps (HTHP). Zeotropic mixtures consist of two or more fluids with varying ...
