The development of new high performance, ultra-thin organic coatings requires a strategy that has to consider a large number of surface treatment variables such as binding moieties, substrate, and adsorption conditions (e.g. temperature, solvent, concentra ...
Mixed ionic electronic conducting perovskite materials have been receiving considerable attention for the application of oxygen separation membranes. These membranes have potential to be integrated in industrial processes that require pure oxygen and to pr ...
The heterodimer formed by electrostatic association of zinc(II) meso-tetrakis(N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (ZnTMPyP) and zinc(II) meso-tetrakis(p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (ZnTPPS) exhibits a strong affinity for the interface between water and 1,2-dichloroeth ...
Adhesively bonded joints are being used increasingly in civil engineering structures, especially for joints comprising pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates. The layered material architecture, however, leads to a complex delamination fa ...
One possibility for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is catalytic oxidation. For the removal of VOCs in low concentration (≲ 3000 ppmv for propane) it is not possible to sustain the required oxidation temperature over the catalyst wit ...
The fracture behavior of composite rubber particle-toughened polymethylmethacrylate has been investigated over a wide range of test speeds, encompassing impact conditions. When the entanglement density of the matrix was increased and its glass transition t ...
The strength of fusion bonds between polyamide 12 plaques has been investigated as a function of processing conditions, using the double cantilever beam geometry to measure the mode I critical strain energy release rate, GC. Bonding was carried out using a ...
The recent development of temperature controlled scanning tunneling microscopy opened the door to a fascinating new world on the nanometer scale. The atomic scale information obtained provides unprecedented insight into the kinetics of surface phenomena su ...
In liquid metal spallation targets such as the MEGAPIE (the megawatt pilot experiment) target and the future ADS (accelerator driven system) spallation targets, which utilize liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) as the target material, liquid metal embrittle ...
The development of the interfacial bond strength as a function of bonding conditions has been investigated in two representative semicrystalline thermoplastics, isotactic polypropylene and polyamide 12. If one side of the interface is well above the meltin ...
