A large experimental campaign has been developed in order to study the passivity of steel embedded in mortar. Mortar samples, containing steel pill (initially polished or precorroded), have been placed in various conditions [relative humidities of 80, 90 and 95%; solution simulating the clay rock underground water of…
Nondoped ZnO film on a polyethylene terephthalate film was successfully grown by conventional spray pyrolysis at 100 °C using a diethylzinc-based solution under air atmosphere. The samples had an average optical transmittance of more than 80%, a flat surface, and an a -axis orientation from the optical transmittance,…
We report on the successful preparation and characterization of fluorescent magnetic core∕shell Fe(3)O(4)∕ZnSe nanoparticles (NPs) with a spherical shape by organometallic synthesis. The 7 nm core∕3 nm shell NPs show good magnetic and photoluminescence (PL) responses. The observed PL emission∕excitation spectra are sh…
Silver nanoparticles in AOT reverse micelles were obtained by means of the biochemical synthesis. Synthesis of nanoparticles was carried out with variation of the three parameters of reverse-micellar systems: concentration of silver ions, concentration of the stabilizer (AOT) and hydration extent w = [H 2 O]/[AOT]. Th…
We report an approach of flake powder metallurgy to the uniform, two-dimensional (2D) distribution of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in Cu flake powders. It consists of the preparation of Cu flakes by ball milling in an imidazoline derivative (IMD) aqueous solution, surface modification of Cu flakes with polyvinyl alcohol (P…
The interface adhesion strength of an advanced polymeric low-k material to different metal barriers was quantitatively measured using the four-point bending technique. Different sample configurations were tested in order to find the optimal configuration to study the polymer/barrier interface adhesion strength. The as…
The in vitro experiment, involving 1164 strains of the tuberculosis mycobacteria, exhibited a potentiating effect of silver nanoparticles on known antituberculous preparations in respect of overcoming drug-resistance of the causative agent. The in vitro experiment, based on the model of resistant tuberculosis, was per…
Despite of intensive search for the proper semiconductor base materials for spintronic devices working at room temperature no appropriate material based on ferromagnetic semiconductors has been found so far. We demonstrate that the phase segregated system with MnSb hexagonal inclusions inside the GaSb matrix, formed d…
Reduced activation ferritic/martensitic and ferritic steels strengthened by a dispersion of oxide nanoparticles have been considered viable structural materials for fusion applications above 550°C. However, the microstructural stability and mechanical behaviour of these steels subjected to the aggressive operating con…
A series of experiments [C. Poulard and A. M. Cazabat, “Spontaneous spreading of nematic liquid crystals,” Langmuir 21, 6270 (2005)] on spreading droplets of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) reveals a surprisingly rich variety of behaviors. Small droplets can either be arrested in their spreading, spread stably, destabili…
Microwaves have proven to be a powerful ally in any synthetic effort, shortening reaction times considerably and in some cases facilitating the reaction by offering higher yields or fewer byproducts. Since the mid ‘ 90s microwave-assisted synthesis has found its way into carbon nanostructures, offering significant adv…
The ZnO nanocrystals (ZnO NCs) with particle size, less than 100 nm, have been blended with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) by solution mixing to prepare PMMA/ZnO nanocomposite films. The structure of ZnO/PMMA nanocomposite films was characterized using X-ray diffractometry. The prepared nanocomposite films are highly t…
Mullite is one of the most promising engineering materials for applications at elevated temperatures, but has poor mechanical properties at ambient temperature; therefore, it is usually reinforced with particles, fibres or whiskers to improve its properties. Among particles added to mullite are ZrO2 particles which im…
For polycrystalline FeCr2S4, temperature dependence of low-field magnetization shows a step-like transition around orbital ordering temperature Too ∼ 9 K. In this paper, the origin of the magnetic anomaly has been studied. We show that, with increasing magnetic field, the step-like anomaly in M–T curve is gradually su…
Abstract A quantitative determination of Fe 3+ /ΣFe ratios using the electron microprobe is presented for glasses. The measurements are based on the shift of the Fe- L α peak position between Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ , resulting from differences in self-absorption. We present new calibration curves for glasses with Fe contents…
The magnetoelectric (ME) effect is studied in composite two- and three-layer disk structures containing magnetostriction layers of an amorphous FeNiSiC ferromagnet and a lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric layer. Due to a high magnetostriction (∼33 × 10 −6 ) and a low saturation field (∼200 Oe), an FeNiSiC layer has…
SiGeAu thin films exhibit large thermoelectric power. Recently, the formation of SiGe nano crystal has been confirmed after annealing. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the size of the nano crystal and thermoelectric power. SiGe nano crystals were fabricated by the crystallization of amorphous Si…
Interfacial adhesion properties between steel and epoxy layers were improved considerably by fabricating periodic square-shaped dot patterns instead of random roughness via a combination of photolithography and wet chemical etching method. Because adhesion properties are determined generally by a roughness and topogra…
The microstructure and magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B films with thicknesses from 100 nm to 3 nm have been investigated. All the films show excellent perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with a squareness ratio of 1 in the perpendicular direction and almost zero coercivity in the in-plane direction. Of particular interes…
A short-term pot experiment was made to evaluate the effectiveness of municipal solid waste compost amendment on salt-affected soil. Hordeum maritimum plants were cultivated in pots filled with a clay-loam soil containing 0 or 40 t ha−1 of compost and irrigated with tap water at 0 or 4 g l−1 NaCl. Soil properties and…
