Defect structure and migration pathways of cations in cubic zirconia (ZrO2) have been calculated using two computer modelling techniques. The first is based on the Mott–Littleton method, which considers defects to be embedded in an otherwise perfect crystal, and the second is the supercell approach, which allows finit…
Rhodium-complexed dendrimers supported on a resin were evaluated as catalysts for the hydroformylation of aryl olefins and vinyl esters. The results showed the reactions proceeded very efficiently at room temperature with excellent yields. Outstanding selectivity for the branched aldehydes was also observed in all cas…
Abstract Polyester‐degrading ability of actinomycetes obtained from culture collections was investigated by the formation of clear zones on polyester‐emulsified agar plates. Using 41 genera (43 strains) of actinomycetes with phylogenetic affiliations based on 16S rRNA sequences, poly(L‐lactide) (PLA)‐degraders were fo…
Syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP), despite high crystallinity, shows unusual elastic properties, associated with a reversible crystal-crystal phase transition. The mechanism behind the crystal-crystal phase transition involved during cyclic elongation and recovery and the time scale of this process is here investigated…
The formation of calcium (Ca) oxalate crystals is considered to be a high-capacity mechanism for regulating Ca in many plants. Ca oxalate precipitation is not a stochastic process, suggesting the involvement of specific biochemical and cellular mechanisms. Microautoradiography of water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) tiss…
Evolution equations for scalar density and orientation of fields of curved dislocations formulated in the framework of the continuum theory of moving dislocations serve as the starting point for development of a non-local dislocation-based constitutive relation for crystal plasticity, on the length scale intermediate…
In Part 1 of this paper, it was shown that statistical models using pooled data are of poor quality with very wide variability. The present paper considers probabilistic corrosion modelling based on corrosion mechanics principles and notes the effect of environmental and other factors that should be included in model…
Abstract Layered metal hydroxides exhibit non-uniform broadening of lines in their X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) patterns, which cannot always be explained on the basis of crystallite size effects. In the case of hexagonal solids such as nickel hydroxide, DIFFaX simulations of the XRPD patterns show that: (1) stacki…
Magnetic properties and magnetic shape memory effect of three Ni-Mn-Ga alloys representing three different martensitic phases; five-layered tetragonal (5M), seven-layered orthorhombic (7M), and non-modulated tetragonal (NM) martensite were studied at room temperature. Magnetization process occurs mostly by magnetizati…
It has been discovered that laminate composites of longitudinally magnetized magnetostrictive and transversely poled piezoelectric layers (a L-T laminate composite) have a giant magneto-electric (ME) effect under a low magnetic bias. The ME voltage coefficient is over 110 mV/Oe at a magnetic bias H=500 Oe. This value…
Direct writing with gold by electron beam deposition is a method for rapid fabrication of electrically conducting nanostructures. An environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) equipped with a source of the precursor gas dimethylacetylacetonate gold(III) was used to fabricate nanoscale tips and bridges. Transmis…
The first commercial demonstration of six-phase transmission, the Goudey-Oakdale three-phase/six-phase project, used two delta wye-grounded three-phase transformers to realize the required phase/voltage conversion. This paper proposes the usage of autotransformers for phase/voltage conversion for the actual three-phas…
Abstract Microanalysis using an EDS on an SEM are sometimes asked whether two samples are of different composition, or if different regions in the same sample vary in composition, A best educated guess may be that differences of a few percent can be distinguished under optimized conditions that include favorable data…
Abstract An investigation of the burning behaviour of a series of unsaturated polyester resin formulations has been carried out using the Cone calorimeter technique. A complex analysis of the pyrolysis of selected glass‐reinforced polyester (GRP) laminates was made based on fire‐nonretarded, fire‐retarded and smoke su…
Abstract Isotactic (i) and syndiotactic (s) PMMA polymers differ markedly in the physical properties. The fact that these physically unlike macromolecules strongly attract each other with the resultant formation of stereocomplexes is indeed remarkable. Although stereoregular PMMAs and the stereocomplex have been studi…
Abstract It is widely accepted that for the very smallest grain sizes (typically below 20 – 30 nm), dislocations play no significant role in the deformation of nanocrystalline materials. However, the grain-boundary mechanisms responsible for the reported decrease in strength with decreasing grain size in this regime (…
Abstract The current research on grain boundary dynamics in metals is reviewed. The boundary dynamics, i. e., the boundary reaction to applied forces, is strongly dependent on the grain boundary character, which is commonly reduced to the orientation relationship between adjacent grains and impurity segregation at the…
The use of shape memory alloys in spacecraft and devices was suggested practically as soon as the first materials of this type had been discovered and investigations of their unique functional and mechanical properties had begun. However, various reasons led to a more than 30-years delay in realization of ideas in dev…
Martensitic transformations in commercial near equiatomic Ni49.5Ti (at. %) polycrystalline thick wires induced by thermal and/or mechanical loading were investigated by in-situ high-resolution neutron powder diffraction techniques with the aim to develop neutron diffraction methods of stress and phases fraction evalua…
