We have investigated the effect of a metal coating—copper—on the tetragonal structure of fine barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) particles. The BaTiO 3 particles were synthesized by a sol‐gel method and heat treated at temperatures >900°C for various amounts of time before coating. The copper coating was achieved by an ele…

This paper is concerned with the application of a modification process to cotton friction spun singles yarns. The experimental results show that the yarn modification process can effectively reduce or eliminate residual torque in dref-III singles yarns as well as fabric spirality in plain knitted structures. The prope…

The kinetic behavior of NO reduction by CO over a Pt/Al 2 O 3 catalyst has been investigated in the temperature range of 465−520 K. The NO + CO reaction exhibits isothermal steady-state multiplicity. A high-conversion steady state was obtained starting with a net oxidizing feed composition ([NO] 0 > [CO] 0 ), and a lo…

PURPOSE: Previous observations in rats caused us to speculate whether the injection of iotrolan, a nonionic dimeric contrast medium (CM), would increase urine viscosity enough to obstruct urine outflow in the collecting duct. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The urine viscosity in dogs was measured directly with a viscosimeter a…

Integral skin foams consist of a cellular core and a near solid skin of the same material surrounding the core. A study of the effect of mica on the flexural properties of free rise and integral skin polyurethane foams is presented. Addition of a small amount of mica (5% v/v) is found to significantly increase the fle…

To evaluate the serviceability of a new textile product made of an unconventional fiber blend, it is important to determine if the fabric meets the specific standards required for the intended end-use. The value-added textile products of interest are fabrics made of 50/50 kenaf/cotton in the filling direction and 100%…

Shape memory alloys (SMA) show a high ratio of work capacity per material volume. This makes the application of SMA especially useful in micron-sized systems. The development of robotic grippers is one important prerequisite for the successful automation of the assembly of micro systems. Therefore the SMA may also pla…

The structure of the superionic glass ${(\mathrm{L}\mathrm{i}}_{2}{\mathrm{S})}_{0.5}{(\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{S}}_{2}{)}_{0.5}$ has been studied using Li-isotopic-substitution neutron diffraction. A marked difference has been observed in the intensity of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) in the structure fa…

Transmission X-ray microscopy makes it possible to investigate biological specimens, i.e. cells and organelles, in their natural wet environment. The main processes determining the contrast in X-ray microscopy are photoelectric absorption and phase shift. X-ray microscopic experiments can therefore be carried out in b…

Sialons (Si−Al−O−N) are useful as engineering components because they combine the toughness of silicon nitride with phase stability. Competing reactions occur during conventional processing, making it difficult to form single-phase material without high-temperature/long-time heat treatments. Thermochemical insights in…
