Eutectic melt solidification is shown to avoid cracking during solidification by quenching an amorphous phase. Subsequent annealing results in micro/nanostructure ceramics. This strategy has been applied to HfO 2 –Al 2 O 3 –GdAlO 3 and Y 2 O 3 –CaO–Al 2 O 3 ternary systems that have deep eutectics. In most cases, cera…

Abstract The effects of electron beam irradiation on backyard composting behaviour of polylactic acid (PLA) polymer were evaluated. Samples (10 mm 2 × 0.75 mm) from thermoformed PLA drinking cups were exposed to 10 MeV electron beam irradiation at doses of 0, 72, 144 and 216 kGy. Irradiated PLA samples were placed in…

We have measured the resistivity of PrFeAsO 1− x F y samples over a wide range of temperature in order to elucidate the role of electron–phonon interaction on normal- and superconducting-state properties. The linear T dependence of ρ above 170 K followed by a saturation-like behavior at higher temperature is a clear s…

Thioesters are more reactive than oxoesters, and thioester chemistry is important for the reaction mechanisms of many enzymes, including the members of the thiolase superfamily, which play roles in both degradative and biosynthetic pathways. In the reaction mechanism of the biosynthetic thiolase, the thioester moietie…

Abstract Simple blending of natural rubber/ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (NR/EPDM) generally results in inferior mechanical properties because of curative migration and their differences for filler affinity. In this work, the 70/30 and 50/50 NR/EPDM blends prepared by reactive processing techniques were investigated…

Certain transition metal oxides exhibit relatively large compositional changes in response to variations in the oxygen partial pressure. In thin film form, these composition changes can lead to stress because of the constraint imposed by the underlying substrate. To investigate these effects, polycrystalline titania (…
