Some theoretical and practical aspects of the application of transmission microdiffraction (µXRD) to thin sections (≤30 µm thickness) of samples fixed or deposited on substrates are discussed. The principal characteristic of this technique is that the analysed micro-sized region of the thin section is illuminated thro…

The recent problem of estimating the residual life of metal structures for handling equipment is actual, since more than 90% exhausted its regulatory resources. The current paper proposes an approach to solve this problem by using the coercive force. It is shown that in order to determinate damage of dangerous element…

Abstract Polymer matrix composites are generally studied in the form of bulk solids, and very few works have examined composite fibers. The research described here extended such bulk studies to fibers. The question is whether or not what has been reported for bulk polymers will be the same in fibers. In this article a…

High-quality Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3 nano-powders were synthesized by the solution combustion process. The size of the synthesized Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3 powders was approximately 23 nm. The green pellets were sintered at 1150-1300°C at a step size of 50°C. Sintered Ca0.8Dy0.2MnO3 bodies crystallized in the perovskite structure with a…

Abstract The degree of silane grafting and cross‐linking of several high‐density polyethylenes (HDPE) was studied. The results are compared with those of a low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and a linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE). Molecular characterization was done by gel permeation chromatography. The difference…
