Grain size refinement is an important strengthening mechanism in Al-Mg 5000 series alloys, which have a relatively large Hall-Petch slope compared with other Al alloys. In addition, the high work hardening rate exhibited by Al-Mg alloys provides excellent formability. This paper investigates the influence of grain siz…
Abstract The thermoplastics processing of native starch in the presence of water is a recent development with very wide possible applications. Eventually, oil‐based polymer materials have to be replaced in many applications by sustainable, inexpensive, natural materials from renewable resources. As with conventional t…
Of the several techniques available for the surface modification, plasma processing has proved to be very appropriate. The low temperature plasma is a soft radiation source and it affects the material only over a few hundred Å deep, the bulk properties remaining unaffected. Plasma surface treatment also offers the adv…
My main conclusion is that the original Williams' definition of biocompatibility still stands with respect to individual materials, but we have to move to more specific definitions within each of the varied applications of biomaterials such as those described above, and more will follow. It is time for the discussion…
This article examines the effect of interfacial load transfer on the stress distribution in carbon nanotube/polymer composites through a stress analysis of the nanotube/matrix system. Both isostrain and isostress loading conditions are investigated. The nanotube is modeled by the molecular structural mechanics method…
A simple direct foaming and casting process using ovalbumin‐based aqueous slurries for fabricating ceramic and metal foams is demonstrated. Foaming of aqueous ceramic slurries and the foam microstructure were seen to be a strong function of slurry rheology. Setting of foams with ceramic solids loading above 20 vol% wa…
It was found that doping a nematic liquid crystal (LC) with a small amount of ferroelectric nanoparticles strongly affects the dielectric properties of the system. In particular, adding the ferroelectric particles results in a shift of the absorption bands corresponding to the rotation of liquid crystal molecules arou…
Polymers have a long history in medicine. Their uses to date range from traditional applications such as catheters, syringes, blood contacting extra corporeal devices to matrices for drug delivery, cell encapsulation and tissue regeneration. Polymers can be broadly classified on the basis of the reactivity of their ch…
Test methods for evaluating flashover voltage of ceramic and nonceramic insulators under ice, snow, and cold-fog conditions are recommended. The paper describes the procedure to be followed at various stages of an evaluation test including preparation of the test object, insulator precontamination, ice, snow, and cold…
Transparent and flexible edible/biodegradable films were successfully made from myofibrillar proteins of blue marlin meat. The effect of pH of film-forming solutions on film formation, tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (EAB), water vapor permeability (WVP), light transmission, transparency, film solubility, p…
SiC powder compacts were prepared with Al 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 , and CaO powders. By two‐step sintering, fully dense nanostructured SiC ceramics with a grain sizes of ∼40 nm were obtained. The grain size–density trajectories are compared with those of conventional sintering processes.
A novel polyacrylamide superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle platform is described which has been synthetically prepared such that multiple crystals of iron oxide are encapsulated within a single polyacrylamide matrix (PolyAcrylamide Magnetic [PAM] nanoparticles). This formulation provides for an extremely large T…
Abstract Inhibition of radial growth and spore germination of Aspergillus niger in media with added chitosan were detected. The highest radial growth inhibition (73%) was determined at 24 h with 3 g · L −1 of chitosan, and the percent inhibition of spore germination was 40% after 13 h of inoculation. Further, the CC 5…
Recently a model has been developed by Osetsky and Bacon to study edge dislocations moving over large distances on the atomic scale. It permits investigation of motion of a dislocation under different conditions of applied shear stress with constant or variable strain rate and temperature, and in the presence of obsta…
The catalytic activity of mesoporous silica (MCM-41) for the acetalization of cyclohexanone shows a volcano-shaped dependence on the pore diameter. The diameter of the cyclohexanone molecule is ca. 0.75 nm, while its acetalization with methanol was well accelerated on MCM-41 with a pore diameter of approximately 1.9 n…
The thicknesses of polyelectrolyte multilayer thin films (PEMs) are reported as a function of deposition temperature and ionic strength. PEMs fabricated at high salt and elevated temperatures are significantly thicker than similar films deposited at room temperature. These trends in the multilayer films are not observ…
A structure formed by combined lattices of infinitely long wires and split-ring resonators is studied. A dispersion equation is derived and then used to calculate the effective permittivity and permeability in the frequency band where the lattice can be homogenized. The backward wave region in which both the effective…
A novel semidiscrete Peierls–Nabarro model is introduced which can be used to study dislocation spreading at more than one slip plane, such as dislocation cross-slip and junctions. Within this essentially continuum model, the nonlinearity which arises from the atomic interaction across the slip plane is dealt with ato…
Eleven bis-ureas have been synthesized, and some of their properties are reported. Several of these compounds form supramolecular polymers in organic solvents. The self-association is shown by FTIR spectroscopy to display cooperativity at two levels. The first level of cooperativity is due to the synergistic associati…
Abstract This introductory review paper summarizes shortly the research on metal dusting, conducted in the MPI for Iron Research during the last dozen years. Metal dusting is a disintegration of metals and alloys to a dust of graphite and metal particles, occurring in carburizing atmospheres at a C > 1 and caused b…
