Abstract A planar anode‐supported solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) has been tested to investigate gas tightness of the electrolyte and the applied seals. Gas leaks reduce the efficiency of the SOFC and it is thus important to determine and minimise them. Probe gases (He and Ar) and a Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer were used…

Digital image analysis techniques in the spatial and frequency domains for twist measurement of yarns are described. A spatial technique is developed to extract the twist angle through the analysis of the yarn core image. Then, a Fourier transformation technique is applied to yarn images to measure the orientation of…

Abstract Ionic transport in porous anodic alumina (PAA) films during steady‐state growth was simulated, including effects of ionic migration in the electric potential and stress gradients, as well as material flow. The calculated flow patterns display similar characteristics to those revealed by experimental studies.…

We study the wetting by water of complex "hydrophobic-hydrophilic" surfaces made of a hydrophobic substrate covered by a hydrophilic polymer brush. Polystyrene (PS) substrates covered with polystyrene- block-poly(acrylic acid) PS- b-PAA diblock copolymer layers were fabricated by Langmuir-Schaefer depositions and anal…

Heterotrimetallic {3d–5d–4f} compounds have been prepared by assemblage of {W(CN) 8 } 3− and {L Me2 NiLn} 3+ units, with Ln = Y ( 1 ) and La ( 2 ). These have been found to exhibit different supramolecular organizations. A chain structure is formed for Ln = Y, whereas La leads to a hexanuclear aggregate. The investiga…

An increased need for high‐temperature piezoelectric materials for sensors, some of which must be Pb free due to RoHS regulations, has led to a focused search for suitable materials. Glass–ceramic processing—the controlled crystallization of a precursor glass—offers a unique manner in which to produce partially to who…

Magnesia grain size affects the in situ spinel formation kinetics and expansion of alumina–magnesia refractory castables. The use of coarse grains results in a large expansion and delays the reaction's starting temperature. In this work, the addition of an MgO source with different grain sizes (from macro, D max ≤0.1…

The everyday routine of most chemists is dictated by large numbers. The chemical rules for ensembles of molar size (N approximately N(A)=6.022 x 10(23)) are well known and can be understood in most cases by using Boltzmann distribution. It is an interesting question how a small ensemble of a chemical system behaves an…

BaTi 0.98 Ca 0.02 O 2.98 (BTC) ceramics where Ca 2+ acts as an acceptor dopant show ferroelectric aging, reversible domain switching, and a nonlinear recoverable electrostrain of ∼0.04% at ∼11 kV/cm. This behavior is attributed to the mobility of oxide‐ion vacancies created by the acceptor doping mechanism and a tende…
