Experiments were conducted on the Zn-22 wt% Al eutectoid that contained nanometre-scale dispersion particles. These particles were introduced in the matrix of the alloy via powder metallurgy followed by cryomilling. Transmission electron microscopy observations made on specimens crept at a strain rate near the centre…

Recycling of rubber waste poses a challenging environmental, economical, and social problem. In the present study, we propose a new two-stage recycling process to reuse a rubber waste. First, the granulates of the waste were pulverized into small particles using a single screw extruder in the Solid State Shear Extrusi…

The ordering of Al 3+ , Fe 3+ , and Mg 2+ cations along the octahedral sheet in dioctahedral 2:1 phyllosilicates was studied theoretically. The distribution of Fe 3+ /Mg 2+ was studied in the octahedral sheet and is compared with the Al 3+ /Fe 3+ and Al 3+ /Mg 2+ distributions. The cation exchange interaction paramete…

Single‐phase in situ toughened SiAlON ceramics containing various modifying cations and single‐crystal seeds were studied. The modifying cations include rare‐earth cations from the smallest to the largest allowed in the α‐SiAlON structure (Yb to Y, to Nd), and from monovalent to trivalent (Li to Ca, to rare earths). A…

The influence of amide ligands on the photoluminescent behavior of tris(thenoyltrifluoroacetonate)- europium(III) in the solid state is reported. Elemental analysis showed that these compounds have the following formulas [Eu(TTA)3·(ANL)2] and [Eu(TTA)3·PZA], where ANL = acetanilide and PZA = pyrazinamide. The photolum…

This paper describes a modeling approach to incorporate the effects of nonquasistatic loading on the extensional behavior of an SMA wire. Experimental results under a variety of loading conditions indicate that the instantaneous temperature of the material is closely related to the applied strainrate in the material.…

Novel functionalized bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT–TTF) derivatives 4 and 5 have been synthesized in good yields from cyano precursor via a cross-coupling reaction. Their redox potentials have been studied by cyclic voltammetry in a dichloromethane solution; this indicated that they are slightly weaker e…

We investigate the slow dynamics in gelling systems by means of Monte Carlo simulations on the cubic lattice of a minimal statistical mechanics model. By opportunely varying some model parameter we are able to describe a crossover from the chemical gelation behaviour to dynamics more typical of colloidal systems. The…

The cubic titanosiloxane [RSiO(3)Ti(OPr(i))](4) (R = 2,6-Pr(2)(i)C(6)H(3)NSiMe(3)) (1) is found to be relatively inert in its attempted reactions with alcohols and other acidic hydrogen containing compounds. The reaction of 1 with silanol (Bu(t)O)(3)SiOH however proceeds over a period of approximately 3 months to resu…

The cavitation corrosion behavior of 20SiMn low-alloy steel in both distilled water and 3% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution was investigated using a magnetostrictive-induced cavitation facility. The micrographs of damaged surfaces were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The role of corrosion was analyz…

We consider orientation mechanisms for block copolymers in an electric field. Theoretical and experimental studies have shown that nonuniformity of the dielectric constant gives rise to a preferred orientation of the melt with respect to the applied field. We show that the presence of ions, as found in anionically pre…

An investigation was performed to determine whether corrosion resistant boron-free E-glass fibers could adequately prevent acid induced brittle fracture failures of high voltage composite insulator rods. Nine different rod compositions were tested at 45% of mechanical failure load in contact with 1 N nitric acid. Rods…

We predict the thermodynamic and structural behavior of solutions of self-assembling chains, cross-links and end-cap molecules. We find that at the mean-field level, the entropy of self-assembled junctions induces an effective attraction that can result in equilibrium between a sol phase and a connected network. A con…

Abstract Crosslinked poly[styrene‐ co ‐(furfuryl methacrylate)] has been produced by the Diels–Alder (D‐A) reaction between the furan ring (within the copolymer) and the maleimide (MI) group (within the other reactant, bismaleimide). The retro D‐A reaction was followed by the analysis of MI groups produced at differen…
