We studied the influence of the annealing temperature on the atomic structure of yttria‐stabilized tetragonal zirconia (YSZ) which was deposited as a 300 μm thick thermal barrier coating (TBC) on nickel superalloy substrates by plasma spraying. To obtain neutron powder diffraction patterns of the barrier coatings we u…
We combine scanning tunneling spectroscopy and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy (PLE) to study the electronic level structure and single electron charging effects of InAs and novel InAs/ZnSe core/shell nanocrystal quantum dots. The two techniques provide complementary information on the electronic structure o…
To characterize the defect sites in the near-surface and bulk phase of Li-MgO and Li-La2O3-MgO, XANES at Mg K-edge and La L3-edge was applied. For Li-MgO, it can be suggested that Li doping at a low content (2.5 wt%) brings about the formation of defect species only in the near-surface. This is due to the localization…
Thermo-oxidative stability of high performance composites was investigated under thermal cycling conditions between room and 177°C curing temperature. For the analysis of thermal cycling experimental results, an equivalent cycle time (ECT) was developed by applying degradation-reaction kinetic theories to thermal-cycl…
We performed iodine L edge XAFS measurements on blue-black amylose-iodine complex to obtain information about the electronic and geometrical structures of polyiodide chain included in amylose helix. Measurements were also carried out on crystalline alpha-cyclodextrin-iodine complex (alpha-cyclodextrin)2 x Cd0.5 x I5 x…
The present study was performed in order to investigate the electrocatalytic properties of platinum incorporated polypyrrole films for methanol and formic acid oxidations. The behaviour of this modified electrode was characterised in acidic media (0.1M HClO4). The electrodes exhibited excellent long-term stability in…
Abstract The final physical properties of semi-crystalline blown films are highly dependent on the crystalline morphology and orientation of polymer chains within the film. Simultaneous on-line SALS (Small Angle Light Scattering) and IR (Infrared) temperature measurements were successfully used to study crystallizatio…
The density of brownish spots formed on the surface of silica glass through the reaction with silicon melt is studied using three types of silica glass, that are made from natural quartz powder, synthetic silica powder, and Al-doped synthetic silica powder. The density of the brownish spots was higher in natural quart…
Over the last couple of years, an increasing amount of research has been dedicated to the use of flax fibres as an environmentally friendly alternative to glass fibres in engineering composites. Because of the relatively poor thermal stability of flax fibres compared to glass fibres, knowledge of the thermal degradati…
Ruddlesden-Popper phase, La(n+1)Ni(n)O(3n+1 (n=1, 2, and infinity) compounds were prepared by citrate sol-gel method. We revealed the origin of the variation of the electrical conductivities in La(n+1)Ni(n)O(3n+1 (n=1, 2, and infinity) using resistivity measurements, Rietveld analysis, and X-ray absorption spectroscop…
A comparative study of the photodegradation of CdS nanoparticles coated with silica shells dispersed in water and embedded in two silica gels with different pore size is presented. Although encapsulation of the quantum dots in a silica shell previously was proven to provide a basically permanent protection against lig…
We present results on foaming of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) using water as the physical blowing agent. The TPE is a blend of polypropylene and fully crosslinked EPDM rubber made by a dynamic vulcanization process. The influence of the blowing agent content, and the processing conditions on foam density, cell nucl…
Errors in quantitative electron microprobe analysis arise from many sources including those associated with sampling, specimen preparation, instrument operation, data collection, and analysis. The relative magnitudes of some of these factors are assessed for a sample of NiAl used to demonstrate important concerns in t…
Abstract The alteration and transformation behaviour of Ceca smectite in two acid and saline solutions (NaCl and KCl) was studied in batch experiments. This type of smectite is proposed as potential backfill material for nuclear waste storage sites. The initial solution was enriched with 500 ppm of U, Th and Eu. The e…
The corrosion behavior of alloy AA5083 in aerated solutions of NaCl has been studied. Special attention has been paid to the analysis of the electrochemical response of this alloy using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Analysis of the obtained data has enabled an evaluation of the contributions made by ea…
Soluble and cross-linked poly(maleic anhydride-co-styrene) copolymers were reacted with hydroxyl containing compounds such as salicylic acid, 2-phenyl ethanol, eugenol and paracetamole in acetone or dioxane solution at 50-80°C. The hydrolytic and controlled release behavior of the copolymers containing these compounds…
The size of poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers with different molecular architectures was measured by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Both polar and non-polar solvents were used to measure the effect of solvent type. The radius of gyration (Rg) of all of the dendrimers follows a scaling law of Rg ∝ M1/3 consistent w…
Aromatic dicarboxylic acids, such as terephthalic (TPA) and isophthalic (IPA) acids having different structures of the activated carboxyl groups were prepared in situ by the reaction of the diacids with TsCl/DMF/Py containing various amounts of DMF. The polycondensation involved by these carboxyl groups using 0.3 equi…
Polyimides with a unique combination of properties including low colour in thin films, atomic oxygen (AO) resistance, ultra-violet (UV) radiation resistance, solubility in organic solvents in the imide form, high glass transition ( T g ) temperatures, and high thermal stability have been prepared and characterized. Po…
In the first part of this paper the results of a literature review are presented. Here we provide an overview of the materials that are suitable for long term service in oxidizing atmospheres at temperatures of 1500°C and higher. Criteria are a sufficient stability against the surrounding environment, low vapor pressu…
