In the world of crystal engineering in which the focus of effort is on the assembly of molecular species by crystallisation, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the actual nucleation and crystallisation processes involved. This Highlight explores the structural aspects of the nucleation process in a range o…
Periodic mesoporous benzene-silicas with large pores of 6.0 to 7.4 nm in diameter are synthesized using triblock copolymer as a template. These mesoporous materials have a well-defined hexagonal rod morphology and high thermal stability up to 823 K in air.
▪ Abstract Recent progress in modeling and simulation of the flow of nematic liquid crystals is presented. The Leslie-Ericksen (LE) theory has been successful in elucidating the flow of low molar-mass nematics. The theoretical framework for the flow of polymeric nematic liquid crystals is still evolving; extensions of…
The paper gives a critical review of the literature on hydrogen storage in carbon nanostructures. Furthermore, the hydrogen storage of graphite, graphite nanofibers (GNFs), and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was measured by thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). The samples were ball milled under Ar or D2 atmo…
This paper presents a research in which the performance of two different grinding wheels (a conventional and a CBN wheel) was evaluated in a transverse cylindrical grinding of a eutectic alloy. Three cutting conditions were tested: rough, semi-finishing and finishing. As evaluating parameters, the cutting force, the r…
This paper reports on the preparation, characterization and study of the ion exchange behavior of hydrous zirconium oxides formed by homogeneous precipitation from zirconium oxychloride. The precipitants used were obtained by thermal decomposition of urea, sodium nitrite or ammonium carbonate. Seven compounds were pre…
Effect of electron irradiation on the crystallization and phase stability of Fe88Zr9B3 and Fe71Zr9B20 amorphous alloys was examined. Electron irradiation at an accelerated voltage of 2000 kV was performed at room temperature. The Fe71Zr9B20 alloy showed a wide supercooled liquid region and the ΔTx value was 71 K, whil…
This work presents a new technique to remove the surface impurities from the aluminum cold-worked sheets. The method consists to concentrate a short-time high-power pulsed laser on the materials surface and scan it in order to cover a desired area. Incrustations ablation is obtained as long as the fluency and the peak…
The cleavage fracture toughness of steels was mezzo-scopically analyzed on the basis of the statistical local fracture criterion approach. The statistical stress criterion at the crack tip region suggests that the cleavage fracture toughness in steels can be described as a function of the yield stress, the cleavage fr…
Electrochemical experiments together with SEM and X-Ray techniques were carried out in order to evaluate the corrosion resistance, to analyze the surface condition and to characterize the nitride layer of the sintered and sintered/plasma-nitrided Fe-1.5% Mo alloy in Mg(NO3)2 0.5mol.L-1 solution (pH 7.0). The sintered/…
A nuclear reactor pressure vessel steel was submitted to different quenching and tempering heat treatments aimed at simulating neutron irradiation damage. The obtained microstructures were mechanically tested and submitted to metallographic and fractographic survey. The relevant microstructural and fractographic aspec…
In the past forty years considerable progress has been achieved on the knowledge of human blood as a non-Newtonian shear-thinning suspension, whose initial state, that is at rest (stasis) or at very low shear rates, has a gel-like internal structure which is destroyed as shear stress increases. The main goal of this c…
Zircaloy-4 was found to be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking in 1 M NaCl, 1 M KBr and 1 M KI aqueous solutions at potentials above the pitting potential. In all the solutions tested crack propagation was initially intergranular and then changed to transgranular. The effect of strain rate and temperature on the…
In the present study the thermal decomposition of a freeze-dried copper(II) acetate monohydrate powder, (CH3COO)2Cu.H2O, (FDCuAcH2O), was analysed by a combination of high-temperature X-ray diffractometry; differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry, up to 700 degreesC. The structure and morphology of the c…
The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of different fluoride-containing mouthrinses on the translucence of resin-modified glass ionomer cements, as a function of the restorative material used, the fluoride-containing solution employed and the time of immersion. Disks were prepared (10 mm x 2 mm) with…
To study the effect of the annealing temperature on the structure and magnetic properties of a 2%Si non-oriented steel cold rolled samples were submitted to final annealing in the temperature range of 540 °C to 980 °C in hydrogen atmosphere. The samples had received cold rolling reduction of 75% to a final thickness o…
The polymerization of poly (2- furyl) methylenesulfide -- POLYTHIOFURFURAL -- was performed in an 0.36 mol/L aqueous solution of furfuraldehyde, saturated by bubbling hydrogen sulfide for 2 h at different temperatures. The reaction product was thoroughly washed and dried at 40 °C under vacuum. Poly (2-furyl) methylene…
Metals with bcc structure are able to dissolve large amounts of interstitial element atoms in the form of oxygen. These atoms diffuse through the lattice by jumping into octahedral sites with equivalent symmetry, causing strong alterations in the anelastic behavior. This paper reports on a study of Snoek relaxation in…
This work refers to the application of a Voltammetric Anodic Dissolution (VAD) Technique in the analysis of coating discontinuities, focusing on pores and cracks that exposed the substrate. An evaluation was made of the influence of several parameters, such as the concentration of the passivation solution and sweep ra…
The susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of solubilized and sensitized 254SMO SS was studied in sodium chloride, and sodium fluoride solutions at 80 °C and sulfuric acid solutions in presence of sodium chloride at 25 °C. The influence of salt concentration, pH values and the addition of thiosulfate was ex…
