A series of uni-axial tensile cycling tests were conducted at room temperature in superelastic NiTi strip specimens with nano-grain size. The NiTi superelastic strip specimen’s Apparent Young’s Modulus (AYM) and the critical stress decrease when the specimen is subjected to an external uni-axial stress and the strain…
Effective permittivities of a metallic periodic structure for which the second-order effective-medium theory does not yield correct results were obtained by numerically fitting to rigorous-coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). The calculated effective medium showed good agreement with RCWA and minimal deviation in the long-wa…
The detailed magnetic behaviors of the ferro- (1FO) and metamagnetic (1MM) phases of [FeCp*2][TCNE] (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienide; TCNE = tetracyanoethylene) aligned parallel to the applied magnetic field, H, were obtained using eicosane (E). The Tc for 1FO is 3.1 K from the maximum in the frequency independent…
Structured poly(glycidyl methracrylate) (poly-GMA) brushes have been grafted onto flexible fluoro-polymer films using a radiation grafting process. The reactive epoxide of poly-GMA provides the basis for a versatile biofunctionalization of the grafted brushes. Structure definition by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) exposure…
The triangular phase in Ti–15V–3Cr–3Sn–3Al is observed after two-step aging. The three-dimensional shape of the phase is a triangular pyramid that is composed of three precipitates. The reason for the formation of the triangular shape is investigated by means of crystallographic analysis and high-resolution TEM observ…
The inhibiting effect of N-furfuryl-N'-phenyl thiourea (FPTU) on the corrosion of mild steel in aqueous solutions of 0.05 and 0.1MHCl, as well as 0.025 and 0.05 M H2SO4 has been demonstrated using the potentiodynamic polarization technique. The polarization data showed that FPTU acts as an efficient anodic inhibitor f…
Saponin-rich extracts of Medicago sativa L. have been shown to display antifungal activity against a range of common fungibut only a few individual saponins have been tested against dermatophytes. Total saponins were separately obtained from roots and aerial parts of Medicago sativa, M. murex, M. arabica and M. hybrid…
The process of morphology evolution of nanorod, nanoparticle, and conventional as anode materials of secondary Zn battery on the charge-discharge cycling were investigated. with different morphology and particle size showed different electrodeposited growth habit, including the morphology retention on the initial stag…
Abstract Dimer acid‐based polyamides were synthesized by condensation polymerization in the absence and presence of monofunctional reactants. Acetic acid, oleic acid and propyl amine were used as monofunctional reactants. The influences of the equivalent percentage (E%) and type of monofunctional reactant on the physi…
An air nozzle having a axial angle of 50° and inner diameter of 2.2 mm was placed below the front roller nip in a ring frame, at various distances. Simulation of the airflow pattern inside the nozzle provides some useful insight into the actual mechanism of hairiness reduction. A CFD (computational fluid dynamics) mod…
A photoswitchable azobenzene-phthalocyanine-azobenzene triad has been synthesized and its electrochemical properties determined. Energy transfer among the subunits allows for modification of the E-Z ratio by selective excitation of the phthalocyanine moiety.
The mechanism and kinetics of chemical pickling of hot-rolled 304 stainless steel oxidized at high temperatures was investigated in HCl-based electrolytes with weight loss, corrosion potential, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. Corrosion products were characterized with scanning electron m…
Computational complexity of multiscale methods based on the first-principles energetics is analyzed. Computational cost of such methods is dominated by expensive first-principles determination of structural energies and atomic forces, including structural relaxations. Information integration is an opportunity to elimi…
The electronic structure of pure and Mg-doped wurtzite ZnO has been investigated by using first-principles ultrasoft pseudopotential method in the generalized gradient approximation. The calculation indicates that the band gap of ZnO broadens with increasing Mg-doping concentrations. Our work shows that the bottom of…
We carried out an experimental investigation to determine the static water absorption properties of terry fabrics. We tested 216 terry fabric samples, woven using 6 warp densities, 4 weft densities, 3 pile height and 3 different yarn types. It is shown that terry fabrics produced with two-ply ring-carded yarn have the…
Current polyamide 11 and 12 are lacking in fire retardancy and high strength/high heat resistance characteristics for a plethora of finished parts that are desired and required for performance driven applications. It is anticipated that nanomodification of polyamide 11 and 12 will result in enhanced polymer performanc…
In order to confirm the efficacy of liposomes as a drug carrier for atherosclerotic therapy, the influence of particle size on the distribution of liposomes to atherosclerotic lesions in mice was investigated. In brief, liposomes of three different particle sizes (500, 200, and 70 nm) were prepared, and the uptake of…
A novel multifunctional superabsorbent composite from acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AM), sodium humate (SH) and organo-attapulgite (organo-APT), PAA-AM/SH/organo-APT, was synthesized by aqueous solution polymerization, using N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker and ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initia…
Molecular Dynamics computer simulations of gold passivated nanoparticles in water are presented. We show that butanethiol passivated gold nanoparticles of ∼3 nm diameter exhibit weak de-wetting, similar to that observed in extended hydrophobic surfaces. The nanoparticle–water interface is characterised by a water dens…
A gold nanoparticle functionalized with substrates for alpha-chymotrypsin was fabricated to afford an enzyme modulator that exhibited enzyme-specific activation coupled with general inhibition of other proteases.
