Abstract The formation of clay minerals within active fault zones, which results from the infiltration of aqueous fluids, often leads to important changes in mechanical behaviour. These hydrous phyllosilicates can (1) enhance anisotropy and reduce shear strength, (2) modify porosity and permeability, (3) store or rele…
Increasing the permittivity of the propagation medium inside a hollow tube lowers its cut-off frequency, allowing it to transmit a wider range of signal frequencies. This principle is applied to the design of dielectric windows that can be used to facilitate partial discharge (PD) detection at ultra high frequency (UH…
A new class of inorganic corrosion-resistant coating, zeolite coating, was prepared on aluminum alloys and shown to be highly corrosion resistant even in strong acid and pitting aggressive media. The coating also has good adhesion, wear- resistance, and paint compatibility. The in situ crystallization coating depositi…
Abstract The simple cup and rotor mini‐mixer, designed to blend very small polymer batches (0.3 g, MiniMAX), was compared to larger lab scale extruder (5 g, DACA): and a 16 mm co‐rotating twin screw (300 g/hr. PRISM). All were compared at the maximum shear rate in the cup and rotor mixer, 110 s −1 . Particle sizes of…
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments were conducted on isotopic polystyrene blend films spin-coated onto hydrogen passivated silicon wafers over a wide range of wavevectors, q (0.56 ≤ q R G,bulk ≤ 50, where R G,bulk is the unperturbed radius of gyration of the chains). The films thickness varied from “bul…
The authors envision computational nanotechnology's role in developing the next generation of multifunctional materials and molecular-scale electronic and computing devices, sensors, actuators, and machines. They briefly review computational techniques and provide a few recent examples derived from computer simulation…
Calcium carbonate crystals of defined morphology have been produced on transformation of an amorphous calcium carbonate precursor within a constrained volume.
The microwave-assisted polyol reduction method was applied to the preparation of CdSe “nanoballs”. The cubic and hexagonal forms of the CdSe nanoparticles obtained were analyzed by XRD, TEM, HRTEM, UV-VIS, photoluminescence (PL) and photoacoustic spectroscopy. Formation of the hexagonal or cubic form of CdSe depends o…
We report on the fabrication of a polypyrrole/poly(methyl methacrylate) coaxial nanocable through the sequential polymerization of methyl methacrylate and pyrrole monomers inside the channels of mesoporous SBA-15 silica, followed by the removal of the silica template.
The hydrogenation of but-2-enal over supported Au catalysts is discussed, together with a detailed characterisation study using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Au/ZnO catalysts are found to be selective for the formation of the unsaturated alcohol, but-2-en-1-ol rather th…
Low protein adsorption is believed advantageous for blood-contacting materials and ethylene glycols (EG)-based polymeric compounds are often attached to surfaces for this purpose. In the present study, the adsorption of fibrinogen, serum, and plasma were studied by ellipsometry on a series of well-defined oligo(EG) te…
Porous silk fibroin materials, with average pore size 10 ∼ 300 μm, pore density 1 ∼ 2000/mm2, and porosity 35 ∼ 70%, were prepared by freeze drying aqueous solution of silk fibroin obtained by dissolving silk fibroin in ternary solvent CaCl2 · CH3CH2OH · H2O. Pore size distribution of such materials mostly accorded wi…
Magnesium alloys are generally brittle owing to their HCP structure. In this study, improvement of tensile mechanical properties under dynamic loading has been demonstrated for a pure magnesium and a ZK60 magnesium alloy. The solution-treated ZK60 alloy exhibits yielding at a dynamic strain rate of 1.8×103 s−1, which…
The paper presents an attempt to apply spectral analysis tools in processing acoustic emission (AE) pulses generated by partial discharge (FD). The experimental part of the paper describes spark gaps generating four types of PD and specifies parameters of measured acoustic signals and recalls the system used for measu…
This 2003 book relates the complete set of strength characteristics of constituent atoms to their electronic structures. These relationships require knowledge of both the chemistry and physics of materials. The book uses both classical and quantum mechanics, since both are needed to describe these properties, and begi…
Isomorphous substitution of Fe in the MFI framework and extraction by steaming leads to a highly active and stable catalyst for N2O decomposition in tail-gas from nitric acid plants.
This study was intended to identify a high molecular weight allergen that had been detected in fish. Analyses by ELISA of five protein fractions prepared from bigeye tuna muscle showed that the high molecular weight allergen was contained in the myostromal protein fraction. Based on the results of SDS-PAGE, immunoblot…
A fully collapsed multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT1) section and a different twisted and fully collapsed MWCNT were observed with tapping-mode atomic force microscopy. The collapsed section of MWCNT1 was significantly more flexible than the uncollapsed sections, and advanced 120 nm within 1 month. The collapse of MW…
A new concept of hybrid supercapacitors has been designed with a conductive polymer as the positive electrode and activated carbon as the negative electrode. The chosen polymer was poly(4-fluorophenyl-3-thiophene) or P-4-FPT, whose good doping properties are well known. Several activated carbons were tested, and the r…
The tensile properties at room temperature ∼ 573 K of Mg–9Al–1Zn processed by normal extrusion were compared with those processed by equal channel angular (ECA) extrusion. The strength at room temperature was strongly affected by the grain size. However, the effect of the grain size rapidly decreased with testing temp…
