A Comparison of Radiation--Induced Graft Copolymerization Utilizing Electron Accelerators and Isotope Sources as Radiation Initiators

Description: "The grafting of methacrylic acid, styrene (2: 1 mole ratio) co-monomer mixture on polypropylene film and fabric, was studied to compare electron accelerators and isotopes as sources of radiation. An aluminum block that contalns i/8-in.-deep pockets covered with Mylar film for holding sample and monomer during mutual irradiatlon was developed. A preliminary comparison was made in post grafting polypropylene film and fabric preirradiated with Cow and with an electron accelerator source. It was f… more

First Quarterly Report - The Study of the Potential Applications of Radioisotope Technology to Water Resource Investigations and Utilization

Description: The objective of the study which is being carried out under contract AT(30-1)-2477 is the exploration of all aspects of research in water resources and supply to determine the potential for using radioisotope technology in this research. Problem areas in the application of tracers in this research are being investigated through the evaluation of past experimentation with radioisotopic techniques and through discussions with those who are active in this work. A series of suggestions relating to… more

Long Range Correlations in a Closed System With Applications to Nonuniform Fluids

Description: "One of the fundamental concepts of macroscopic physics is that of a homogeneous system. The state of such a system is completely described by a set of intensive parameters which make no reference at all to the size or shape of the system, and by the total number of particles, N (unless otherwise specified we deal with one-component fluid). In actual systems, there are always inhomogeneities due to boundaries and to gravitational body forces."

A Simplified Description of Spherical and Cylindrical Blast Waves

Description: "Investigations into the behavior of the gas flow behind spherical or cylindrical blasts have shown that secondary shocks arise within the original detonation gases. The secondary shock, at first weak, is carried outward with the expanding gases. Subsequently it strengthens and bends back toward the origin, arriving there with high intensity. By using some recently developed techniques in shock dynamics a theory is developed by which the motion of the main shock wave, as well as the formatio… more

A Theoretical and Experimental Study of Optical Fibers

Description: A geometrical treatment has been used to outline the theoretical properties of optical fibers which are imperfect as well as geometrically and optically perfect. Experiments have been performed to measure some to the optical properties of individual fibers and fiber bundles.
