A convenient method for passivating and functionalizing stainless steel is described. Several methods of coating stainless steel (SS) samples with silica were investigated and of these methods, a thin (less than 15 nm thick) layer of silica created by atomic layer deposition (ALD) was found to give superior performanc…

The optical properties and charge trapping phenomena observed on oxide nanocrystal ensembles can be strongly influenced by the presence of nanocrystal interfaces. MgO powders represent a convenient system to study these effects due to the well-defined shape and controllable size distributions of MgO nanocrystals. The…

Abstract Thermoplastic foaming within a mold cavity was visualized as it was conducted in an 85‐ton core‐back injection‐molding machine. The core‐back molding process moved a section of the mold just after injecting a molten polymer into the cavity, quickly reducing the pressure to enhance the bubble nucleation. The f…
