Since a few years Mg alloys see a renaissance as light-weight materials for automobiles. In cars the Mg-alloys have to withstand elevated temperatures. Under these conditions the time dependence of the deformation of Mg-alloys must no longer be neglected. Therefore a basic research program was started in cooperation w…

A ferroelectric superlattice consisting of two ferroelectric materials is investigated based on the transverse Ising model. We study the effects of long-range coupling interactions on the spontaneous polarization, the Curie temperature, and the dielectric susceptibility of the ferroelectric superlattice. We find that…

The mesopores in silica fibers run in a circular direction around the axis(see Figure), as demonstrated here by examining the optical properties and electron microscopy images of mesoporous silica fibers grown by slow acid synthesis. These fibers are a unique example of a material that is highly ordered on the nanomet…

We report evidence for two distinct strain-induced orientation transitions in a lyotropic bcc cubic crystal submitted to increasing shear rates. The crystal is built up from copolymer spherical micelles in a selective solvent. The distribution of orientations is characterized by x-ray diffraction: in the two oriented…

Abstract The solid state reaction between sodium tri‐titanate and sodium carbonate, forming mainly sodium pentatitanate, was investigated. Experiments were carried out in a micro‐differential reactor made of quartz glass at various temperatures between 800°C and 880°C and in a pilot fluidized bed reactor operated in a…

Microbiologically‐influenced corrosion (MIC) is a type of corrosion in which, by its nature, many uncertainties exist. Using fuzzy logic, two models of MIC are modified to define a fuzzy set of risk of MIC in conditionally‐protected pipes.

Semi-interpenetrating networks of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and highly crosslinked poly(methacrylate)s were generated from solutions of PEO in mixtures of methacrylate monomers and dimethacrylate crosslinkers. The deep quenching of the solutions into the unstable region resulted in microphase separation via a spinoda…

Abstract Cis-trans photoisomerization of azobenzenes in higher concentrations proceeds through a bimolecular reaction process, probably involving the dimer biradical intermediates, in competition with a unimolecular isomerization process, which is the predominant reaction in lower concentrations.

Abstract Microporous materials, (materials with pore sizes with widths <2 nm) were prepared by pillaring of smectites obtained from different soil deposits. The materials were prepared by intercalation with oligomeric cations of aluminum, which were transformed to aluminum-oxide pillars by calcination. The adsorpti…
