Green and red emissions in terbium and europium benzoic acids (TBA and EBA) incorporated poly methyl methacrylates (PMMA) are exhibited. Larger intensity parameters Ω2 (11.13×10-20 cm2) and Ω4 (13.15×10-20 cm2) of Eu3+ indicate a high inversion asymmetrical and strong covalent environment around lanthanide (Ln) ions a…

During the transient phase of filling a casting running system, surface turbulence can cause the entrainment of oxide films into the bulk liquid. Previous research has suggested that the entrained oxide film would have a deleterious effect on the reproducibility of the mechanical properties of Al cast alloys. In this…
