Al2O3 thin film was formed on pure magnesium and its anodic coating by sol-gel method. SEM observation and EDX analysis showed that Al2O3 film could not totally cover the surface of base metal, but they blocked small pores when they were formed on anodic coating. Potentiodynamic polarization test indicated that Al2O3…

The microstructural evolution during compression (at 350°C and a strain rate of 0.01s-1) was examined for magnesium alloy AZ31 received in the "as-cast" condition. It was revealed that at low strains, many twins are produced and dynamically recrystallized (DRX) grains form as a necklace along pre-existing grain bounda…

Additions of grain refiners based on Ca, Ca/Si, Al3Ti and Al4C3 to pure magnesium and AZ31 alloy result in remarkable microstructure refinement. With proper amount of these refiners addition, the grain size in as-cast ingots is one order of magnitude lower than that without refiner addition. Small amount of refiner ad…

We study a system of grafted semiflexible polymers in a poor solvent which form toroidal or rodlike conformations in the bulk. However, because of the physical constraint of surface grafting, macrophase separation is inhibited and a number of different polymer aggregates (or micelles) form which can be related to the…

We report on the experimental observation of two-wave mixing that occurs inside a sample between the beams used for the fabrication of polymer-liquid-crystal-polymer slices (POLICRYPS) diffraction gratings. The effect depends on the phase shift between the curing interference pattern and the grating being cured. This…

This paper investigates the microstructure, mechanical properties and creep behavior of Mg–Al–Ca alloys with different Ca content. SEM and EDAX analyses show that the dominant second phase in the as-cast Mg–Al–Ca alloys is Al2Ca, which distributes at the grain boundaries and disperses in the grain interior as well. Bo…

A buckling instability of chains of isotropic droplets in smectic films is investigated. The c -director field in a free-standing film is prepared as a target pattern with a continuous radial deformation. In such a pattern, isotropic liquid droplets are induced by light irradiation of the photochromic mesogenic materi…
