The pilling behavior of polyester/viscose, polyester/viscose/Lycra®, and %100 cotton fabrics, is investigated in both normal and wet conditions. The experimental results show that the pilling tendency of fabrics in the wet state is directly related to the constituent fiber tenacity in the wet state. We also test three…
Single‐phase β′‐SiAlON (Si 6− z Al z O z N 8− z , z = 0–4.2) ceramics with porous structure have been prepared by pressureless sintering of powder mixtures of á‐Si 3 N 4 , AlN, and Al 2 O 3 of the SiAlON compositions. A solution of AlN and Al 2 O 3 into Si 3 N 4 resulted in the β′‐SiAlON, and full densification was pr…
The thermoluminescence (TL) glow curves of quartz of various origins were measured under two different conditions, (1) unannealed samples and (2) samples annealed at 500 degrees C and 900 degrees C. The different glow curves obtained were analysed using first order kinetics and glow curve deconvolution (GCD) analysis.…
Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 ferrite nanoparticles (<100 nm) in SiO2 matrix have been prepared by the sol-gel method. The particle size was varied by changing the duration of heat treatment above crystallization temperature. An x-ray diffraction study indicates the presence of single-phase spinel ferrite in the sampl…
The crystal structure and magnetic properties of the La1−xBixMnO3+λ system (0⩽x⩽1;λ⩽0.08) are studied as functions of the oxygen and bismuth contents. In oxidized samples La1−xBixMnO3+λ a phase transition from a ferromagnetic state (rhombohedric phase) to a state of the spin glass type (quasitetragonal phase) is obser…
The biodegradation of PVA blends with natural polymers, such as gelatin, lignocellulosic by-products (sugar cane bagasse), as well as poly(vinyl acetate), was investigated in respirometric tests aimed at reproducing soil burial conditions. The observed behavior is discussed in terms of the influence of each blend comp…
The time and temperature evolution of intracrystalline Mg-Al exchange in synthetic MgAl 2 O 4 spinel was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of quenched samples, with the aim of contributing to rock cooling-rate estimation. Flux-grown, homogeneous crystals (0.1 mm in size) were annealed at 1000°C and then were…
Abstract The unperturbed chain dimensions (〈 R 2 〉 o / M ) of cis / trans ‐1,4‐polyisoprene, a near‐atactic poly(methyl methacrylate), and atactic polyolefins were measured as a function of temperature in the melt state via small‐angle neutron scattering (SANS). The polyolefinic materials were derived from polydienes…
This paper describes the development of an active robot hand, which allows smooth and lifelike motions for anthropomorphic grasping and fine manipulations. An active robot finger 10mm in outer diameter with a shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuator embedded in the finger with a constant distance from the geometric cent…
The effect of sodium n,n-diethyl dithiocarbamate (SDEDTC) on the corrosion of mild steel in 0·5 mol L-1 HCl solution was studied using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarisation methods. Experimental data revealed that SDEDTC acted as an inhibitor in the acid environment and, furthermore, that the compound was a mix…
In situ monitoring of the electrical resistivity of ZnO and W thin films during atomic layer deposition (ALD) was performed using a four-point probe. Large oscillations were observed during the ZnO ALD resistivity measurements. The resistivity dramatically increased during each diethyl zinc exposure and decreased duri…
The 57 Fe NMR spectra of the 57 Fe-enriched (95.43%) ceramics of a ferroelectric antiferromagnet BiFeO 3 with a spatially modulated magnetic structure have been studied. It is established that a cycloidal spin modulation in BiFeO 3 causes a spatial modulation of the spin-spin relaxation rate along the magnetic cycloid…
An investigation was carried out on the effect of heat treatments on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance of X-80 pipeline steel in 0.01 M and 0.05 M sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solutions using the slow strain rate testing (SSRT) technique. The heat treatments were either water-quenched, water-quenched and t…
Three organic inhibitors containing heteroatoms, namely: undecenoic acid hydrazide (UAH); 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT); and 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole (HBT) have been synthesised in the lab and their inhibiting action on the corrosion of carbon steel in 1N HCl was investigated by means of two different techniques, name…
The novel thioantimonate(III) [Ni(dien)2]9Sb22S42 · 0.5H2O was synthesised under solvothermal conditions by reacting elemental Ni, Sb and S in an aqueous solution of diethylenetriamine (dien) (80%). The compound crystallises in the triclinic space group P1¯, a = 8.997(2) Å, b = 15.293(3) Å, c = 34.434(7) Å, α = 85.51(…
A description of the composite insulator brittle fracture phenomenon suitable to allow correct diagnosis of a failure is provided. This paper reports on the number of brittle fractures that have occurred around the world and contains specific empirical data surrounding composite insulator brittle fractures in the US.…
We present a technique for measuring the specific heat (C) and the isothermal magnetocaloric effect (MT) in the temperature range from 30 to 300 K. The method consists of precise measurements of the heat flux between the sample and its surroundings. This design, which uses commercially available Peltier elements as he…
In Sweden, high-level radioactive waste will be disposed of in a canister with a copper outer container and a cast iron or carbon steel insert. If the iron insert comes into contact with anoxic geological water, anaerobic corrosion will occur. This paper presents a study of the electrochemical aspects of anaerobic cor…
UDP-galactose 4-epimerase catalyzes the interconversion of UDP-Gal and UDP-Glc during normal galactose metabolism. The mammalian form of the enzyme, unlike its Escherichia coli counterpart, can also interconvert UDP-GalNAc and UDP-GlcNAc. One key feature of the epimerase reaction mechanism is the rotation of a 4-ketop…
The fan case in a jet engine is a heavy structure because of its size and because of the requirement that it contain a blade released during engine operation. Composite materials offer the potential for reducing the weight of the case. Efficient design, test, and analysis methods are needed to efficiently evaluate the…
