Modelling and simulation of macrosegregation has experienced explosive growth since the pioneering studies of Flemings and co-workers in the mid-1960s. This paper presents a review of recent macrosegregation models, with particular emphasis on their application to selected industrially relevant casting processes. The…
The results of first principles electronic structure calculations for the metallic rutile and the insulating monoclinic phase of vanadium dioxide are presented. In addition, the insulating phase is investigated for the first time. The density functional calculations allow for a consistent understanding of all three ph…
Abstract Melting and crystallization behaviour of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with different molecular weights (from 1000 to 35 000) and chosen blends of PEG is investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) operating in dynamic mode at different heating rates. The influence of the molecular weight o…
Abstract The surface characteristics of several natural fibers—flax, hemp and cellulose—were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, BET‐surface area and zeta (ζ‐) potential measurements. ζ‐Potential measurements using the streaming potential method were performed in order to study the water uptake behavior a…
Nanoporous polystyrene monoliths were prepared from polystyrene-polylactide (PS-PLA) block copolymers that form hexagonally packed nanocylinders of PLA in a PS matrix. A morphology diagram was developed to determine the range in composition and molecular weight over which this morphology existed. Macroscopic alignment…
Different partial discharge (PD) detection and measurement procedures suitable for use on cables, capacitors, transformers and rotating machines are examined and compared. Both narrow and wide bandwidth PD detectors are considered; particular attention is given in regard to their suitability to different types of elec…

hcp Co disk-shaped nanocrystals were obtained by rapid decomposition of cobalt carbonyl in the presence of linear amines. Other surfactants, in addition to the amines, like phosphine oxides and oleic acid were used to improve size dispersion, shape control, and nanocrystal stability. Co disks are ferromagnetic in char…
We herein present the synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties of a new heterometallic chain of MnIII and NiII ions, [Mn2(saltmen)2Ni(pao)2(py)2](ClO4)2 (1) (saltmen2- = N,N'-(1,1,2,2-tetramethylethylene) bis(salicylideneiminate) and pao- = pyridine-2-aldoximate). The crystal structure of 1 was investigat…
The crystal structure of [Cu(C12H8N2)3][C(CN)3]2 is composed of discrete [Cu(phen)3]2+ cations (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) and [C(CN)3]− anions. The CuII atom is octahedrally coordinated by the three phen ligands. As a consequence of the Jahn–Teller effect, the two axial Cu—N bonds of 2.219 (3) and 2.238 (3) Å are l…
The efficacy of octylamine as a vapour phase corrosion inhibitor in different corrosive environments for carbon steel, copper and brass, and its biocidal action, have been examined. The protection of these metals from atmospheric corrosion using VPI (octylamine)‐impregnated paper was monitored by visual observation, w…
BACKGROUND: The polymorphic forms of silica (silicon dioxide; SiO(2)) interact with the cell membranes of many mammalian cells, including red blood cells (RBCs), causing hemolysis. The electrostatic factor, which is believed to be a major contributor to the silica-cell contact, might have potential interest for the st…
The Doi theory has successfully modeled the monodomain shear flow problem for rigid, rodlike nematic polymers. Numerical simulations of the Smoluchowski equation for the orientational probability distribution function (PDF) predict monodomain attractors in regions of nematic concentration N and shear rate gamma. Theor…
A set of computer simulations for three symmetric A-B-A triblock copolymer microarchitectures at varying temperatures is reported. By using the cooperative motion algorithm we obtain energy, specific heat, end-to-end distance, and bridging fraction as a function of the reduced temperature. The order-disorder transitio…
The degradation of an organic dye molecule (specifically meldola blue, MDB) is reported under the influence of power ultrasound in combination with electrochemically-generated hydrogen peroxide. A novel flow system is employed to measure the degradation as a function of time while minimising the disturbance to the aco…
A series of adsorption tests examined the uptake of typical quaternary cationic surfactants, dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide from water by a clay mineral, sepiolite. Adsorption tests conducted under different conditions revealed that sepiolite is highly receptive to adsorption o…
The two-way shape memory effect (TWSME), has been studied in a near-equiatomic NiTi commercial alloy. Two bending training methods have been applied on NiTi wires. One is based on the martensite deformation and the other on thermal cycling under constant bending curvature. The efficiency of each method has been evalua…
Besides properties commonly found for all types of dendrimers, phosphorus-containing dendrimers possess some specific properties seldom or never found for other types of dendrimers. Emphasis will be put on these specificities.
Results are presented of in situ studies of the thermoelectric power and four-probe resistance of single-walled carbon nanotube films during the adsorption of cyclic hydrocarbons C(6)H(2n) (n=3-6). The size of the change in these transport parameters is found to be related to the pi electron population of the molecule…
I show that a spontaneous electric polarization exists in the solution of the Falicov-Kimball model by mapping the strong coupling limit of this Hamiltonian into an xxz spin 1/2 model with a magnetic field. In this way, I determine the phase diagram of the strongly interacting model and show the existence of a transit…
