Hydrogen permeation measurements have been carried out on a super 13% Cr martensitic stainless steel over a range of temperatures (5°C to 70°C) under cathodic charging conditions. Trapping in this steel is predominantly reversible and is ascribed to the interface between retained austenite and the martensite phase. Th…

Abstract Biodegradable polymer composites consisting of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and cellulose fibers (CF) were prepared by our newly developed method. L‐Lactic acid (LA) was reacted by ring‐opening polymerization with aluminum triflate as a catalyst, glycerol as an initiator and CF as a filler, in simple plastic tubes…

A thin-film transistor consisting of a ZnO active layer and a ZrO 2 insulating layer was fabricated on a tin-doped indium oxide sputtered glass substrate as well as on a SiO 2 /Si wafer. The ZnO and ZrO 2 layers were deposited by a sol–gel, dip-coating procedure. The resultant ZrO 2 layer was about 150 nm thick and th…

Helical carbon nanocoils exhibit excellent field emission properties, and are thus expected to be applicable as electron emitters in field emission displays. We have synthesized carbon nanocoils with different diameters by the catalytic thermal decomposition of acetylene using iron–indium–tin–oxide catalysts. It is fo…
