A highly loaded ZnS nanoparticle (NP) array within mesoporous channels was prepared by repetitive insertion of ZnS reverse micelles. Contrary to the ZnS NPs in the water pool of reverse micelles exhibiting blue emission, the ZnS NPs incorporated within the organically functionalized mesoporous channels showed the emis…

The penetration of ceramic armor by a kinetic energy penetrator is complex, involving a continual process of material damage, micro‐crack nucleation, growth and coalescence, and multiaxial failure, all under conditions of high loading rate and inertial confinement. It will be shown that at sufficiently high stress, wh…

The first titanium phosphate nanotubes with alternating interlayer spacings have been successfully prepared and characterized. The synthesis is accomplished in a reverse microemulsion formed in an amine extraction system. TEM data from samples made after different times of reaction suggest a scrolling-formation mechan…

Tailoring glass compositions can raise the viscosity of SiREAl oxynitride glasses. In the present study, viscosity data are obtained by determining the compressive creep response of bulk glasses in air. The findings reveal that increasing both the nitrogen‐to‐oxygen and the yttrium‐to‐aluminum ratios of the glasses sh…

Two‐ and three‐dimensional SiC r /SiC composites have been prepared starting from Tyranno SA(tm) fiber preforms. Preform densification has been performed by a modified preceramic polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) process consisting of filling the preform large interbundle voids with SiC powder before the PIP pr…

Two compositions of the Y 2 O 3 –MgO (YM) and Yb 2 O 3 –MgO (YbM) systems were chosen to study the effect of the sintering additive composition on the processing and thermal conductivity of sintered reaction‐bonded silicon nitride (SRBSN). The nitridation, postdensification, microstructural evolution, and thermal cond…

Raman spectroscopy has been applied to the study of basic Cu sulfates including antlerite, brochiantite, posnjakite, langite, and wroewolfeite and selected complex Cu sulfate minerals. Published X-ray diffraction data were used to estimate possible hydrogen bond distances for the basic Cu sulfate minerals. A Libowitzk…

Beside quasi-stationary plasma operation, short transient thermal pulses with deposited energy densities on the order of several tens of MJ/m2 are a serious concern for next-step devices, in particular, for tokamak devices such as ITER. The most serious of these transient events are plasma disruptions. Here, a conside…

Abstract A new production method for polypropylene‐clay nanocomposites has been successfully developed. This method did not require the pretreatment of the clay mineral with an organo‐cation. In this method we focused our attention on the nature of the clay mineral, which was exfoliated in water. Water was injected in…

Abstract A brief overview is given of the literature of the use of solvothermal techniques − chemistry in superheated solvents − towards paramagnetic cluster synthesis. Although these techniques have been used extensively to prepare infinite lattice magnetic materials, there is much less work on preparing discrete mol…

Many therapeutic agents have intracellular compartments as their site of action. Targeted delivery of these agents to their specific intracellular targets could result in enhanced therapeutic efficacy and reduced toxicity. Various carriers have been shown useful in targeted delivery of different classes of therapeutic…

Space charge formation and its increase with field under DC conditions is not a mystical phenomenon. The increase in space charge with applied field is an obvious and inevitable result of the interaction of field-dependent current density with spatially inhomogeneous resistivity. For common polymeric dielectrics, the…

Binding energies and preferred adsorption sites of O, OH, and H 2 O to bimetallic clusters PtX, Pt 2 X, and PtX 2 (X = Pt, Co, Cr, Ni) are determined using density functional theory. The second metal element in the alloy has stronger affinity for OH than the Pt sites, and it is able to adsorb up to two OH radicals per…
