Research paper thumbnail of Effect of stress and temperature on the optical phonons of aramid fibers

Physical Review B, 2006

The results showed that both phonons soften considerably under axial tension. Experiments at various temperatures under fixed strain conditions have demonstrated that one of the phonons ͑ 1 = 1611 cm −1 ͒ is moderately anharmonic whereas the adjacent phonon ͑ 2 = 1648 cm −1 ͒ exhibits harmonic behavior. By modeling the fibers as one-dimensional molecular wires very good agreement between experiment and theory is obtained for the phonon temperature dependence under isostress conditions.

Noticeable wavenumber shifts are recorded for the 1611 and 1648 cm À1 Raman bands with increasing stress. In contrast, only the 1611 cm À1 band is affected by temperature within the )50 to 200°C range. The existence of two adjacent vibrational modes sensitive to stress with only one of the two being temperature dependent, allows the development of a simultaneous stress and temperature spectroscopic sensor. The applicability of this sensor is evaluated on an epoxy resin -aramid fiber composite activated by a shape-memory-alloy actuator.

Key advances in DNA sequencing and gene synthesis are at the base of tremendous progress in tailoring biocatalysts by protein engineering and design, and the ability to reorganize enzymes into new biosynthetic pathways. To highlight these achievements, here we discuss applications of protein-engineered biocatalysts ranging from commodity chemicals to advanced pharmaceutical intermediates that use enzyme catalysis as a key step.
