The high-temperature dehydroxylation and structural change of talc, Mg 3 (Si 2 O 5 ) 2 (OH) 2 , has been investigated in detail using infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The data (in the region of 20.12000 cm -1 ) on quenched samples show that absorptions from structurally incorporated OH and OD, as well as NH4- like species,…

The protective role of iron carbonate films deposited on steel surfaces as by-products of carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion may be hindered by mechanical film removal due to hydrodynamic forces. Damage to the film is frequently accompanied by severe corrosive attack, which may ultimately result in costly equipment failur…

We report the electric-field-induced magnetization (EIM) in the composite structures made by combining Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) and Tb0.30Dy0.7Fe2 (Terfenol-D). The results showed that the EIM could be generated in the composite structures due to the efficient stress-mediated electromagnetic coupling interaction betwe…

Abstract A versatile sol–gel method for fabricating porous oxide materials with well-defined co-continuous macropores has been reviewed. The chemical instability, in many cases induced by polymerization of the network-forming components, triggers the formation of biphasic morphologies, followed by an irreversible free…
