This paper presents an experimental finding in the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique to obtain a better compressive stress strain data for rubber materials. An experimental technique which modifies the conventional SHPB has been developed for measuring the compressive stress strain responses of materials w…
The paper deals widi die evaluation of interfacial shear stress (ISS) between reinforcement fibre (hemp) and polypropylene matrix through single fibre pull-out method and subsequently the critical length of the composite grade hemp fibre has been determined. In the present study the average ISS value of 5.9 MPa was us…
Enzymatic scouring has been investigated for over two decades as an environmentally friendly process. Replacement of harsh alkalis by enzymes minimizes not only the COD and BOD in effluents, but also the amount of effluents, because the rinsing step may be omitted. However, advantages of enzymatic scouring on treated…
A large magnetocaloric effect (MCE) has been achieved in a rare-earth-free CoMnSb alloy at low magnetic field and intermediate temperature. It is interesting to note that a relatively large magnetic entropy change ∣ΔSM∣ of 2.06J∕kgK with ΔH=0.9T was obtained around 471K. Arrott plots at various temperatures reveal tha…
We investigate the lateral shift of the optical beams incident from an ordinary isotropic medium into an anisotropic metamaterial half space. Different from the isotropic case, the shift is closely related to the dispersion relation of the anisotropic medium and some anomalous phenomena have been discovered. The lossy…
Bypass cement dust from the Rabigh plant in Saudi Arabia was examined for use in the preparation of technical coloured glass and glass ceramic materials. The bypass cement dust made up about 57 wt-% of the batch constituents, depending on composition. The bypass composition was sometimes modified by additions of other…
Oxide glasses having lower glass transition temperature are widely used in electric devices. The oxide glasses usually contain lead oxide. Recently, lead oxide glasses have been replaced with lead-free oxide glasses because of the environmental pollution. We investigated the thermal properties and the glass formation…
Carbon nanofibres (CNF) have been formed by polyethylene pyrolysis, using a Ni catalyst and a hydrogen–argon gaseous mixture. The temperature interval of 500–700 °C was chosen, because small sized Ni catalyst particles are formed in this case. TEM and high resolution TEM studies revealed catalyst particles of spherica…
Activated carbon fibers were prepared from stabilized PAN-based fibers by chemical activation using hydroxides at different concentrations. The experimental data showed variations in specific surface area, microstructure, pore size distribution, and amounts of iodine adsorbed by the activated carbon fibers. Specific s…
The initial stage of vacuum evaporated tetracene films on hydrogen-passivated Si(100) substrates has been investigated using ex situ atomic force microscopy. Three-dimensional (3D) islands and dendrites are obtained at low deposition rates near equilibrium growth conditions. By increasing the deposition rate to a prop…
The polymorphic phase transition of 1,2,4,5-tetrachlorobenzene (TCB) has been investigated using neutron powder diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The diffraction experiments show a reversible phase change that occurs as a function of temperature with no apparent loss of sample quality on transition bet…
Structural ordering of the flash-evaporated Ni2MnGe Heusler alloy films has been studied by magneto-optical (MO), optical, and magnetic methods. The properties of the films have been compared with the corresponding properties of the bulk Ni2MnGe samples with L21 and tetragonally distorted L21 structures, respectively.…
Amorphous iron or cobalt carbide nanoparticles with a carbon onion structure were produced using a pulsed laser ablation of metallocene powders at room temperature. While they are ferromagnetic at room temperature, they exhibit a drastic change in magnetic spin moments at 20–30 K. These magnetic properties are ascribe…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are frequently torn away by the electric field during field emission, which usually results in device failure due to short circuit or discharge. An AFM cantilever is employed to measure the tensile force experienced by individual field-emitting CNTs, from which the Maxwell stress and the local…
Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of single-crystal ZnO bulk under hydrostatic pressure are studied using the diamond-anvil-cell technique at room temperature. The PL spectrum of ZnO single crystal taken at atmospheric pressure was dominated by a strong near-band-edge exciton emission. The emission line was found to shif…
We have carried out a detailed investigation on the dielectric and pyroelectric properties in ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{TiO}}_{3}$ (BST) throughout the concentration range ($x$ from 0 to 1), with the emphasis on quantum effect and phase transition. The approach was realized by employin…
Armour systems require advanced solutions, relying on a combination of materials of different natures to provide adequate ballistic protection and weight saving. For the first time in the present study composite layered systems based on monolithic armour ceramic tiles joined with polymer infiltrated ceramic foams have…
Dielectric measurements are reported as a function of temperature for phase transformations in the lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate system (PMN-PT). Data are given for single crystal specimens in the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) region. Transition temperatures were determined from dielectric loss data. The ch…
One-dimensional nanostructure growth behaves very differently on the ± (0001) polar surfaces of wurtzite ZnO, resulting in asymmetric growth in these two directions. In this report we show that by tuning the degree of supersaturation, the growth asymmetry can either be rationally utilized or broken to obtain single- o…
Using density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation, we have studied the interaction between a single Pt atom and a carbon nanotube. The bridge adsorption site on the outer wall of nanotube is favorable. The curvature affects the binding strength. Compared to the larger nanotube, Pt could bind…
