The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of changes in Type I collagen on the viscoelasticity of bone. Bone coupons were heated at either 100 or 200 degrees C to induce the thermal denaturation of Type I collagen. Half of these specimens were rehydrated after heat treatment; the other half were tested in a…
Binary hydrous cobalt-nickel oxide with an amorphous structure (denoted as anodically deposited from a solution with its Co:Ni ratio of 4:6 and pH 8.0 exhibited a very large pseudocapacitance of ca. in 1 M NaOH. The electrochemical reversibility of this material was examined at various charging-discharging currents in…
In this study, experimental Ti-Ag alloys (5, 10, and 20 mass% Ag) and Ti-Cu alloys (2, 5, and 10 mass% Cu) were made in an argon-arc melting furnace. The alloys were cast into magnesia molds using an argon gas-pressure dental casting machine, and the mechanical properties and microstructures of the castings were inves…
Results of contact tests using spherical indenters on flat ceramic coating layers bonded to compliant substrates are reported for selected dental ceramics. Critical loads to produce various damage modes, cone cracking, and quasiplasticity at the top surfaces and radial cracking at the lower (inner) surfaces are measur…
Abstract Semiconductormetal nanocomposites provide a simple and convenient way to tailor the properties of photocatalysts. Modification of semiconductor surface improves charge separation and promotes interfacial charge-transfer processes in nanocomposite systems. Charge accumulation in the metal layer results in Fer…
Dynamics of excited states in porphyrin J-aggregates has been investigated using femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence and absorption spectroscopies. An ultrafast relaxation process due to internal conversion (IC) from the S2-exciton state to the S1-exciton state is observed as an S2-fluorescence and a recovery from…
The steady flow and the dynamic viscoelastic properties of cellulose fiber suspensions were investigated as functions of the suspension concentration and the fiber shape using a parallel-plate type rheometer. Various concentrations of the suspensions were made from various types of cellulose fibers, i.e., microcrystal…
A high dielectric constant polymer composite system is presented. The new composite uses a high dielectric constant cyanoresin polymer filled with ferroelectric ceramics, such as BaTiO 3 powder. While dielectric constant of the polymer is 21 at 1 kHz, the dielectric constant of the composite is over 130 at the BaTiO 3…
The crystal structures of a series of cobalt(II) molecular complexes, [Co(PM-L)2(NCS)2] [PM = N-2-pyridylmethylene, L = 4-(aminobiphenyl) or 4-(phenylethynyl)aniline], are investigated and compared to the analogous iron(II) complexes, [Fe(PM-L)2(NCS)2], already known in the literature. At room temperature, the Co(II)…
Monomeric Sn(II) alkoxide complexes of bulky amidinate ligands N,N ‘ -bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate, [L SiMe3 ] -, and N,N ‘ -bis(dimethylphenylsilyl)benzamidinate, [L SiMe2Ph ] -, and the corresponding bis(amidinate) compounds were synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The…
A molecular dynamics simulation of the microscopic structure of water confined in a silica pore is presented. A single cavity in the silica glass has been modeled as to reproduce the main features of the pores of real Vycor glass. A layer analysis of the site–site radial distribution functions evidences the presence i…
Strengths of attachment of spores of the green fouling alga Enteromorpha to glass have been measured using a modified water jet apparatus. Surface pressures of ∼250 kPa were required to quantitatively remove attached spores after 4 h contact with a surface. The development of adhesive and cohesive strength is highly t…
Electrocaloric effect (ECE) of pure and modified PbSc 1/2 Ta 1/2 O 3 (PST) and its solid solutions and PbMg 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 - PbTiO 3 ferroelectric ceramics is studied at different temperatures and external electric field intensities. High value of (ECE) up to 2.3 K is observed in PST ceramics at modification in B subl…
A transparent porous alumina nanostructure was formed on a glass covered tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) substrate by anodization of a highly pure sputtered aluminum layer. Details of the fabrication and microstructures of porous anodic alumina films are described and a possible mechanism of anodization is outlined. The…
A series of dual conducting polymer based type I supercapacitors were constructed using poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) as electrode couples. The switching speeds and cycle lifetimes of these supercapacitors were compared using two types of supporting electrolytes; lithium bis(tr…
This book provides the electrical design engineer with an insight into the properties and applications of electrical steels which are used in transformers and rotating machines. An acknowledged international expert in this field, Professor Beckley describes the principles controlling the action of electrical steels, i…
The biological control of inorganic crystal formation, morphology, and assembly is of interest to biologists and biotechnologists studying hard tissue growth and regeneration, as well as to materials scientists using biomimetic approaches for the control of inorganic material fabrication and assembly. Biomimetics requ…
Employing metal alkoxide as the main inorganic precursor and anhydrous metal chloride as the pH 'adjustor' and hydrolysis-condensation 'controller', very fast preparation of ordered nonsiliceous mesoporous materials has been demonstrated.
In the eighties, studies carried out in Germany and the EU forecasted very large market potentials for composites from flax and other natural fibres. Although considerable research and development was carried out,1 the development of these markets proved far more difficult and long-term than previously expected. The a…
A biodegradable poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) macroporous scaffold with a regular and highly interconnected structure in the size range from 50 to 150 mu m was fabricated from a PLLA--dioxane--water ternary system with the use of the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process. The phase diagram of PLLA with molecu…
