La0.8Sr0.2CrO3 based Ru catalysts were studied as potential new anodic materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells directly fed with methane and operating at intermediate temperature under water deficient conditions. Two kinds of materials very close in compositi ...
The composition of novel terpolymers containing acrylamide (A), acryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride (Q), and bis-1,3(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate dichloride (M) was analyzed combining FTIR and potentiometric titration. Calibration w ...
The present work is aimed at studying the effect of solidification rate on reinforcement clustering in particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs) through numerical simulations and experimental studies. A macrotransport-solidification kinetics (MTS ...
Isothermal mechanical spectroscopy by means of a forced torsion pendulum (measuring internal friction/mechanical loss) was used to study the interplay of long-range atomic order and stress-induced diffusion (Zener relaxation) in Au57%Cu43%. Our results sho ...
We present specific-heat data on the type-II superconductors V3Si, LuNi2B2C and NbSe2 which were acquired with a low-temperature thermal analysis (DTA) technique. We compare our data with available literature data on these superconductors. In the first par ...
X-rays from synchrotron beamlines provide a powerful tool for materials analysis in circumstances where long-term materials degradation under complex loading conditions (e.g., temperature, irradiation, and stress) becomes important. This may occur for adva ...
The lanthanide complex aquatrichloridobis(1,10-phenanthroline)cerium(III) [Ce(phen)(2)(H2O)Cl-3] (KP776) was fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR-, and H-1- and C-13-NMR spectroscopy, as well as TG/DTA measurements, and its behavior in H2O, import ...
A novel lithium salt, cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylic lithium was synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR, ESI-MS, X-ray single crystal analysis, and TG/DTG (TGA) thermal analysis. The crystal structure information reveals the coordination polymer nature and ...
Two types of dimeric complexes [Ln2(hfa)6(í2-O(CH2)2NHMe2)2] and [Ln(thd)2(í2,è2-O(CH2)2NMe2)]2 (Ln ) YIII, EuIII, GdIII, TbIII, TmIII, LuIII; hfa- ) hexafluoroacetylacetonato, thd- ) dipivaloylmethanato) are obtained by reacting [Ln(hfa)3(H2O)2] and [Ln(t ...
The thermal decomposition of alane was investigated by application of synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD) and thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). Two polymorphs were studied, α- and γ-AlH3. Activation energies, anisotropic volume expansions, and phas ...
