The electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power of thorium, uranium, neptunium and plutonium have been measured down to liquid-helium and liquid-hydrogen temperatures. The resistivities are relatively high, especially those of neptunium and plutonium, while all the thermoelectric powers show complicated temperature relations. The temperature dependence of the resistance of a-plutonium is abnormal, being characterized by a small negative temperature coefficient above 105 °K and a large positive coefficient below this temperature. Some plutonium rich d-Pu + Al alloys also show similar behaviour. An explanation in terms of spin-disorder effects seems most reasonable, and it is suggested that both a- and d-plutonium may be antiferromagnetic. The resistance—temperature curves of uranium and neptunium also are unusual in that the positive temperature coefficients decrease monotonically with rising temperature. Possible reasons for this have been discussed.

AbstractCarbon black-filled polymer composites were investigated as sensing materials for organic liquids. Polypropylene and polystyrene which were selected as matrices and various amounts of carbon black were considered as the main factors influencing sensitivity of the composites in view of the percolation theory. Disposable filaments were produced of these materials. Change in their electrical resistivity was measured upon immersion in benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene and their mixtures. It has been found that studied materials were sensitive to the composition of liquid mixtures of organic solvent. Relationships between the filament response and volumetric fraction of the components were presented. The studied materials have shown promising sensing properties, which suggest their applicability for identification and quantification of multicomponent organic liquids.
