Bent state

Resilience of textile fabrics when compressed in the bent state is related to wrinkle resistance and retention of shape, drape, and hand. Resilience is an important parameter for evaluating blankets, wearing apparel in which warmth is a factor, pUe fabrics including carpets, and bulk fiber utilization in mattresses, cushions, etc. The general method for determining compressional resilience is to compress and unload the material cycHcahy, creating a plot of compressive force versus fabric thickness. 

The non-linear geometry of the B system, the assignment to a state of symmetry A as originally proposed, and the absence of a second bent / state in this region, could all be reconciled, of course, if the band system were, in fact, the... 

Tables 36 and 37 show the geometries and energy separations of bent and linear electronic states of HfHj, respectively. The ground state of HfHj is a Aj state with Rj = 1.842 A and 9 = 126.7° (table 36). The linear electronic states in table 37 have longer bond lengths compared to the bent states primarily due to enhanced 6p participation in the lff orbital of the linear state.

Figure 1.34 shows one of the flexible liquid crystal panels which we produced experimentally. With a reflection type dot matrix panel, it maintained a memory state in a bent state. The characteristics of this panel were lightweight and flexibility. We produced experimentally a prototype of electronic paper based on this panel [106]. 

The bent state of flavohydroquinone is more prone to substitution than the flat state, which in turn is more susceptible to oxidation. This is borne out by the following observations ...
