Growth and investigation of Argon thin films adsorbed on graphite by means of Ultrafast Electron Diffraction
Starting from our big universe to the microscopic world, phase transitions play an important role in nature. Just after the Big Bang our universe experienced multiple phase transitions, from high-temperature plasma to the matter we know today.Phase transit ...
EPFL2023Two-dimensional atomically bridged nanoporous silicate-based membranes for gas separation
The synthesis of molecular-sieving two-dimensional zeolitic membranes by the assembly of crystalline building blocks without resorting to the secondary growth process is highly desirable. The precise pore size for molecular sieving, ultrathin thickness, an ...
EPFL2022Report of RILEM TC 267-TRM: Improvement and robustness study of lime mortar strength test for assessing reactivity of SCMs
Karen Scrivener, Mathieu Antoni, Ruben Anton Snellings, Mohsen Ben Haha, Shashank Bishnoi, Xuerun Li, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski, Anuj Parashar, Yuvaraj Dhandapani
RILEM TC 267-TRM is studying tests for the reactivity supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). In the first phase, the lime reactivity (LR) test, which is standardised in Indian standard (IS)-1727, gave promising correlations with 90-days cement mortar ...
SPRINGER2022Fouling-resistant pencil graphite electrode
Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Tugba Kilic
A Pencil Graphite Electrode (PGE) is herein disclosed. The electrode is characterized by a reduced content in graphite and an increased content in clay of the composite material composing it compared to the prior art PGEs. In particular, the PGE according ...
2018Investigating Earth's Formation History Through Copper and Sulfur Metal-Silicate Partitioning During Core-Mantle Differentiation
Identifying extant materials that act as compositional proxies for Earth is key to understanding its accretion. Copper and sulfur are both moderately volatile elements; however, they display different geochemical behavior (e.g., phase affinities). Thus, in ...
AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION2018High diffusion barrier and piezoelectric nanocomposites based on polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymer and hydrophobized clay
Yves Leterrier, Dragan Damjanovic, Antonia Neels, Sara Dalle Vacche, Olha Sereda, Alex Dommann
Nanocomposites based on polyvinylidene fluoride– trifluoroethylene copolymer and up to 4 vol % of hydrophobized clay nanoparticles are investigated. The structure, piezoelectric properties, and oxygen permeability of solvent cast films are analyzed before ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017Fire protection systems for building floors made of pultruded GFRP profiles. Part 2: Modeling of thermomechanical responses
A recently developed thermomechanical model to predict the time-dependent thermal and mechanical responses of pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles subjected to fire was extended to include the beneficial effects of passive fire protecti ...
Elsevier2010Natural cement and monumental restoration
Natural cement, called "Roman" cement, was invented at the end of the 19th century and played an important role in the development of civil engineering works until the 1860s. More surprisingly, it was also used to restore historic buildings, such as gothic ...
