We have constructed an effective Hamiltonian model for the rotational-vibrational states of molecular carbon dioxide. The model is constrained by a large amount of spectroscopic data for frequencies of rovibrational transitions. From this formulation, we
Pressure-density-temperature (p-ρ-T) data for the refrigerant R-1130(E) (trans-1,2-dichloroethene) were measured in the compressed liquid phase using an automated vibrating tube densimeter. Overall, the measurements covered temperatures from 270 K to 410 K

Analysis of the cure kinetics of dual-reaction thermosets requires the determination of nine constants including the ratio of the first reaction to the total reaction. Simultaneous determination of the nine constants from experimental data is extremely
In this work, we compiled and evaluated eutectic and peritectic phase-transition temperatures for metal-carbon (e.g., Co-C, Re-C) and metal carbide-carbon compounds (e.g., Fe3C-C, HfC2-C) and selected recommended values for possible future use on the

The industry standard for sorting plastic wastes is near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which offers rapid and nondestructive identification of various plastics. However, NIR does not provide insights into the chain composition, conformation, and topology of

The thermal conductivity of liquid trans-1,2-dichloroethene (R-1130(E)) was measured at temperatures ranging from 240 K to 340 K and pressures up to 25 MPa using a transient hot-wire instrument. A total of 447 thermal conductivity data points were measured
The enthalpies of formation of brominated C3–C4 hydrocarbons were critically evaluated using experimental data sources ranging from classical thermodynamics methods to modern high-precision mass spectrometry and reported in a time span of a century. The

A suite of phase separated dynamic covalent networks based on highly tunable dynamic benzalcyanoacetate (BCA) thia-Michael acceptors are investigated. In situ kinetic studies on small molecule model systems are used in conjunction with macroscopic
In this work, we compiled and evaluated various properties pertaining to the heats of combustion of about 420 compounds of physical, chemical, and engineering interest. This includes boiling points, melting points, latent heats (enthalpies) of vaporization

Cure kinetics of epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) is a fundamental material property that affects the molding process of semiconductor chips and final package performance. However, due to measurement challenges related to the small polymer fraction, only the
We describe an instrument to measure the speed of sound in liquids based on the dual-path, pulse-echo technique; it covers a temperature range of 228.15 K to 423.15 K, with pressures up to 93 MPa. It differs from similar instruments in the method of
The results of a thermochemical study of the standard molar enthalpy of combustion of 2-adamantanone in the crystalline phase state by isoperibol combustion calorimetry are presented. Two different approaches of combustion-calorimetry data processing (one

Machine learning and data mining coupled with molecular modeling have become powerful tools for materials discovery. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a rich area for this due to their modular construction and numerous applications. Here, we make data
Thermal analysis of six improvised energetic chemicals was carried out using laser-heating calorimetry to demonstrate the feasibility of this methodology to provide distinctive thermal signatures and information on the material shelf life. The chemicals
Computational screening of adsorbent materials often uses the Henry's law constant ($\KH$) (at a particular temperature) as a first discriminator metric due to its relative ease of calculation. The isosteric heat of adsorption in the limit of zero pressure
