Epoxy-graphite Resistive Composites

In this thesis, we proposed to study polymer-based thick-film resistors (TFRs) made of graphite particles dispersed in an epoxy matrix. Three main axes were investigated: formulation of the composites, characterization with the determination of electrical, ...

Preliminary evaluation of risks related to waste incineration of polymer nanocomposites

Christian Ludwig

If nanotechnology proves to be successful for bulk applications, large quantities of nanocomposites are likely to end up in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plants. Various studies indicate that nanoobjects might be harmful to human health and the ...

The need for speed

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Pit Gebbers

Development of dielectric elastomer actuators has been mainly targeted towards achieving giant static strain with little attention paid to their response speed, which can, depending on materials used, be as long as tens of seconds. However, most of the pra ...

Identification of Ternary Phases in TiBC/a-C Nanocomposite Thin Films: Influence on the Electrical and Optical Properties

Rosendo Sanjines

The local structure of TiBC and amorphous carbon (a-C) nanocomposite films (TiBC/a-C) was correlated with their optical and electrical properties. TiBC/a-C films with increasing C content were deposited by magnetron co-sputtering from TiC:TiB2 (60: 40) and ...

Influence of the carbon content on dislocation relaxation in martensitic steels

Daniele Mari, Robert Schaller, Ronan Martin

Mechanical-loss measurements were performed in three grades of martensitic high-carbon tool steels. These steels were treated under carburizing gas before quenching, in order to vary the concentration of interstitial carbon in the martensite, as assessed b ...
