High dry friction requires intimate contact between two surfaces and is generally obtained using soft materials with an elastic modulus less than 10 MPa. We demonstrate that high-friction properties similar to rubberlike materials can also be obtained usin ...
The bone diagnostic instrument is designed to measure materials properties of bone even if it is covered with soft tissue such as periosteum, connective tissue and skin. It uses (1) a probe assembly, consisting of a reference probe that penetrates soft tis ...
An analysis of the tribo-mechanical properties of the Ni-Co system, at the submicrometric contact scale, is conducted using displacement sensing nanoindentation. In particular, the influence of contact depth and surface finishing methods on the hardness, H ...
Dense tubular self-supporting La0.7Ca0.3Fe0.85 Co0.15O3-δperovskite membranes were prepared by thermoplastic extrusion. The rheological behavior of the ceramic mixture was studied. Non-deformed tubes o ...
Various top-down, bottom-up, and hybrid fabrication routes of discontinuous palladium nano and mesostructures can be used for the fabrication of resistor based H2 sensing devices. 1D, 2D, and 3D structures can be achieved using appropriate material templat ...
[4 + 1] Cycloaddn. of alpha ,beta -unsatd. imidoyl cyanide (2-cyano-1-azadienes) with isocyanides in the presence of a catalytic amt. of AlCl3 afforded polysubstituted 2-amino-5-cyanopyrroles in good to excellent yields. In combination with the IBX/TBAB-me ...
The main objective of this innovation is to develop bituminous underlayers (sometimes called base course) with high percentage of re-use materials at low cost and with high performance. In fact, this innovation concerns the formulation and assessment of hi ...
High doses of sodium fluoride in bones lead to severe softening, by weakening interfacial properties between the inorg. minerals and the org. components, while leaving mineralization unchanged. This leads to redn. of microdamage and assocd. stress-whitenin ...
A full rate-dependent cohesive law is implemented in the distinct lattice spring method (DLSM) to investigate the dynamic fracturing behavior of brittle materials. Both the spring ultimate deformation and spring strength are dependent on the spring deforma ...
