Abstract The determination of the optimum lime content of fly ash is very important to enhance its use. Recently, methods have been established to obtain the optimum lime content of fly ashes. Strength obtained at different ages becomes important for different applications. The effect of the curing period on the optim…

Recent research into superplasticity has developed substantially, to the extent that there are now important directions for future investigations, one of which is high strain rate superplasticity (i.e., superplastic behaviour at strain rates over 10-2 s-1) in metallic materials. Superplasticity at extremely high strai…

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of four bismaleimides containing a phenylbenzoate mesogenic group and differing by the length of the polymethylenic spacers. They were prepared by reacting 4-maleimidobenzoyl chloride with diphenols containing methylene bridges. The cured resins are stable up to…

Polymer network-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals with homogeneous alignment have been produced in cells without a surface alignment layer. In this technique, a crosslinkable monomer is mixed into a ferroelectric liquid crystal and polymerized in a magnetic field to form a polymer network that will stabilize th…

Abstract A new photoluminescent oxygen sensor based on the luminescence intensities of tris(acethylacetonato) 1,10-phenanthroline terbium(III) complex (Tb(acac)3phen) doped in alumina film was developed. The luminescence intensity of the Tb(acac)3phen film decreased with increasing the oxygen concentration. Tb(acac)3p…

The thermal annealing behaviour of metamict titanite from Cardiff, Canada, which shows moderate structural damage from the a-decay of radiogenic elements (U, Th) has been studied using single-crystal synchrotron radiation and optical-birefringence techniques. Progressive and isothermal annealing experiments yield a te…

In this study, integration of an hydrogen barrier into a FeRAM process flow is investigated. It is reported in the literature that ferroelectric properties can be maintained after hydrogen annealing by using IrOx as a top electrode [16][17][18]. Advantage of materials like IrOx is less catalytic activity compared to P…

Superplastic deformation is arguably the most dramatic and direct illustration of the influence of grain boundaries on the mechanical properties of fine grained metals. Stable tensile elongations in excess of 1000%can be attained under suitable conditions, and microstructural observations show that most of this strain…

We found that large single grains of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin film of which grain size was as large as 40 µm in length could be fabricated by lateral crystallization from the seeds. The seeds were prepared on the Pt substrate in the form of crystallized PZT dots. The electrical characteristics of PZT thin fi…
