A novel porous silica matrix has been prepared from Pyrex glass, using hydrothermal treatment under saturated‐steam condition. This process makes it possible to obtain, in one step, a silica support formed of a homogeneously distributed and interconnected macropore microstructure. The new matrix contains silanol group…

Combustibility of polyurethane foam is an important industry issue. Many test methods are in place to characterize foam combustion, and legislation exists to ensure that the foam complies with specified standards. This paper provides a basic understanding of foam combustibility based on the British Standard BS5852 tes…

Sintered α-SiC ceramics containing B4C with various 10B concentrations were neutron-irradiated, and the helium release rate during increasing annealing temperature was observed. The lattice parameter and the macroscopic length changes of the same specimens were also observed. The helium release rate from powdered spec…

The synthesis and characterization of new hyperbranched organosilicon polymers containing furan or thiophene are described. The air- and moisture-stable polymers were prepared in 78−98% yields by the platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation polymerization of AB 2 and AB 3 silyl-substituted furans and thiophenes. Complete po…

Cu-based alloys have been used for electric cables for long time. In the field of microelectronics, Al had been used for electrical wiring. However, it became clear that electromigration occurs in Al that causes breaking of wires in minute wirings. Due to this problem, Cu wiring is used in most advanced microprocessor…

Abstract The structure of polypropylene fibers formed by different spinning conditions was studied. The investigations were carried out using wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS) and small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) methods. It was stated that in noncolored fibers the mesophase and the monoclinic α forms were formed.…

The effects of irradiation up to 20 dpa on the Charpy impact properties of reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic steels (RAFs) were investigated. The ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of F82H-IEA shifted up to around 323K. TIG weldments of F82H showed a fairly small variation on their impact properties.…

We present a way to fabricate microgrippers that can meet the industry's needs well, i.e., low cost and large tip deflection, etc. The microgripper is fabricated by bonding two identical micro NiTi-Si cantilever beams together with a silicon spacer in between. It can be actuated by electrical current directly. We have…
