Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviors of Alloy 690 were studied in lead-containing aqueous alkaline solutions using the slow strain rate tension (SSRT) tests in 0.1M and 2.5M NaOH with and without PbO at 315°C. The side and fracture surfaces of the alloy were then examined using scanning electron microscopy after…
Composites based on both unmodified and amine-modified graphene were successfully prepared via in situ oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in presence of SrTiO3. To characterize the graphene/amine-modified graphene-polypyrrole-SrTiO3 composite electrodes, cyclic voltammetry test for measuring specific capacitance, cyc…
Our investigations of silver selenide colloidal quantum dots, emitting in the biologically important near-infrared region, demonstrate the size-dependence of their optical properties. Ag 2 Se nanocrystals were prepared in the orthorhombic phase with their average radius varying from 0.95 to 4.7 nm as observed by trans…
Fuettererite, Pb 3 Cu 6 2+ Te 6+ O 6 (OH) 7 Cl 5 , is a new tellurate from Otto Mountain near Baker, California, named for Otto Fuetterer who is largely responsible for the development of the mining claims on Otto Mountain. The new mineral is known from only two specimens, one from the NE2 vein and the other from the…
Nano-sized objects interact with biological systems in fundamentally novel ways, thereby holding great promise for targeted drug delivery. It has also been suggested they could constitute a hitherto unseen hazard. Numerous experimental studies in the field are taking place. We consider that the nature of the interacti…
The science of surface plasmon polaritons, known as "plasmonics," is reviewed from the viewpoint of applied spectroscopy. In this discussion, noble metals are regarded as reservoirs of photons exhibiting the functions of photon confinement and field enhancement at metallic nanostructures. The functions of surface plas…
BACKGROUND: The prediction of biochemical function from the 3D structure of a protein has proved to be much more difficult than was originally foreseen. A reliable method to test the likelihood of putative annotations and to predict function from structure would add tremendous value to structural genomics data. We rep…
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) intercalated with vanadate anions have been recently discovered as promising active anticorrosive pigments. Estimation of true chemical composition and refinement of crystal structure of such LDHs are not straightforward because of a variety of the vanadate anion polytypes and their ad…
Epitaixial metal-oxide nanocomposite films, which possess interesting multifunctionality, have found applications in a wide range of devices. However, such films are typically produced by using high-vacuum equipment, like pulse-laser deposition, molecular-beam epitaxy, and chemical vapor deposition. As an alternative…
Polyaniline/titaniurn dioxide nanocomposites were prepared using alpha-dextrose as surfactant and ammonium persulphate as an oxidant. The PANI/TiO2 nanocomposite is characterized by FTIR, XRD and TEM. The FTIR spectra revel that the presence of characteristic peaks of benzenoid, qunoide rings and metal-oxygen stretchi…
Polymeric insulating materials exposed to pulse voltage with a nanosecond rise time in pulsed power have drawn increasing attention. Surface charge accumulation and decay on the charged polymers are very important parameters related to discharge. Nanocomposite technology has been used to improve the electrical propert…
The multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) partitioning and its impact on morphology and electrical properties of Polycarbonate (PC)/Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS)/MWNT nanocomposites were studied. The rheological and TEM results indicated that the MWNT partitioning and state of dispersion of MWNT were determined by…
The information given here is provided by the IMA Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification for comparative purposes and as a service to mineralogists working on new species. Each mineral is described in the following format: Mineral name, if the authors agree on its release prior to the full descrip…
The self-assembly behavior of azobenzene-based triblock copolymers poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polystyrene-block-poly[6-(4-methoxy-4'-oxy-azobenzene) hexyl methacrylate] (PEO-b-PS-b-PMMAZO) and their mixtures with PS or PMMAZO homopolymers was studied by means of transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron micr…
The work brings the results of the study on mechanical properties of some metallic materials subjected to very large plastic deformation by KOBO extrusion. The unexpected features of the KOBO products like Lüders deformation in pure metals and superplastic flow in coarse grain materials are discussed in terms of micro…
We report for the first time a novel rapid synthesis method for manganese oxide (MO) nanoparticles by a reaction between acidic permanganate and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). In contrast to the existing traditional methods for synthesis of MO nanoparticles, the new method has the advantage of shorter reaction time (∼…
In the present study, the permeability of 11 different iron oxide nanoparticle (IONP) samples (eight fluids and three powders) was determined using an in vitro blood-brain barrier model. Importantly, the results showed that the ferrofluid formulations were statistically more permeable than the IONP powder formulations…
In this study, a detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of optical absorption properties of indium sulfide (In 2 S 3 ) nanostructure arrays in different shapes are presented. Zigzags, springs, screws, tilted rods, and vertical rods of In 2 S 3 are grown using a glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique.…
A multiscale model for a colloid-polymer mixture is developed. The colloids are described as point particles interacting with each other and with the polymers with strongly repulsive potentials, while polymers interact with each other with a softer potential. The fluid in the suspension is taken into account by the mu…
Large drops on solid surfaces tend to flatten due to gravitational effect. Their shapes can be predicted by solving the Young-Laplace equation when their apparent contact angles are precisely given. However, for large drops sitting on rough surfaces, the apparent contact angles are often unavailable a priori and hard…
