The overall aim of this thesis has been to assess the potential of latex-based technologies for the preparation of polymer/clay nanocomposites. The key feature of latex-based technologies is that they offer the possibility of improved control of the final ...
The aim of the thesis is to obtain more understanding about the influence of plastic deformation on the microstructural changes observed in single crystal (SX) Ni-based superalloys using diffraction techniques. This work was organised around two main probl ...
Silicon nitride based ceramics (SiAlONs); tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia (3Y‐TZP); alumina and their composites reinforced with different amount of multi‐ walled carbon‐nanotubes (CNTs) have been processed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). High tempera ...
This PhD Thesis work was aimed at investigating the potentiality of tungsten-base materials as structural materials for the future thermonuclear fusion reactors in attempting to develop reduced activation tungsten-base materials with high strength and suff ...
Copper-based composites reinforced with alumina particles are produced by two different pro- cesses, namely gas pressure driven infiltration of a porous alumina preform and a two-step in-situ process developed in the course of this work. The resulting comp ...
Tantalum and hafnium carbides are classified as Ultra High Temperature Ceramics (UHTC) because of their extreme melting temperatures (above 3900 degrees C). Therefore, these materials can safely operate in the range of temperature that any other materials ...
Composite sandwich panels comprising fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and lightweight material cores are being increasingly used in civil engineering. In several applications, such as fa ades, roof structures and bridge decks, these panels may experien ...
Irradiated austenitic stainless steels, because of their low stacking fault energy and high shear modulus, should exhibit a high ratio of stacking fault tetrahedra relative to the overall population of radiation induced nanometric defects. Experimental obs ...
Boronic acid-capped clathrochelates were used to build rigid, linear bipyridyl ligands with adjustable lengths between 1.5 and 5.4 nm. The syntheses can be accomplished in one or two steps from simple starting materials. The potential of these ligands as b ...
The improvement of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube reinforced polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (CNT-YSZ) was questionable in earlier investigations due to several difficulties for processing of these composites. In the present articl ...
