Ceramic foams with porosity exceeding 90% were prepared by direct foaming and casting of aqueous suspensions containing cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a foaming agent. Foaming of the suspensions, particularly with lower viscosity, was initially non‐homogeneous but the foam appeared to homogenize with milli…

Impact tests using a soft gelatin projectile were performed to identify failure modes that occur at high strain energy density during impact loading. Failure modes were identified for aluminum plates and for composites plates and half-rings made from triaxial carbon fiber braid having a 0∕±60° architecture. For alumin…

One-dimensional supramolecular structures self-assemble from irregular, highly branched, flexible amphiphiles containing a polyester core and an alkyl- or anthracene-functionalized shell. A combination of intermolecular interactions and steric limitations cause the structures to form nearly perfectly organized microfi…

Five amphiphilic meso-disubstituted porphyrins bearing one polar group were synthesized, and their monolayer films were prepared. Their limiting molecular areas obtained from pi-A isotherms were 0.5-0.6 nm2, which were smaller than those of the corresponding meso-tetrasubstituted porphyrins. At the air-water interface…

The occurrence of matrix cracks in melt‐infiltrated SiC/SiC composites with a three‐dimensional (3D) orthogonal architecture was determined at room temperature for specimens tested in tension parallel to the Y ‐direction (perpendicular to Z ‐bundle weave direction). The fiber types were Sylramic and Sylramic‐iBN in th…

Highly fluorescent Nile Red (NR) nanoparticles embedded in a hybrid sol-gel glass are reported. The crystallite growth within the confined system created by the porous hybrid matrix results in NR nanoparticles of averaged dimensions below 36 nm. The preparation process allows for the control of both the conformation a…

A near‐single‐phase Ti 3 AlC 2 ternary carbide was synthesized from 3Ti–1.1Al–1.8C powder blend, both by the wave propagation and thermal explosion (TE) modes of self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis. The application of a moderate (28 MPa) pressure immediately after TE at 800°C (reactive forging) yielded a 95% d…

Monotonic and cyclic fatigue behavior of single fibers or fiber fabrics are of significant interest, since fiber assemblies or fiber‐reinforced composite materials in structural applications are often subjected to cyclic loading. Studying the cyclic fatigue behavior of fibers is particularly difficult because of their…

Each carbon atom in the graphite crystal has a quadrupole moment due to the symmetry of the crystal. We show that these graphite quadrupoles, along with the polarizability of graphite, have a substantial effect on adsorption of strongly polar molecules. We present an approximate method for accounting for the change in…

We consider orbital-only models in Mott insulators, where the orbital–orbital interactions are either due to Jahn–Teller distortions or due to the Kugel–Khomskii superexchange. This leads to highly anisotropic and frustrated orbital Hamiltonians. For two-fold degenerate e g systems, both types of orbital interactions…
