A fracture mechanics approach to thermal shock investigation in alumina-based refractory
(9th International Conference on Multiscale and Functionally Graded Materials, FGM IX, 2008)
The thermal shock behavior of large grain size, alumina-based refractories was investigated experimentally using a standard water quench test. A mathematical model was employed to simulate the thermal stability behavior. ...
Low-pressure rf plasma and corona decolourisation of indigo dyed denim fabrics
(Astronomical Observatory, Belgrade, 2008)
This study was aimed to investigate the influence of low-pressure RF plasma (gas, treatment time and power) and atmospheric pressure corona (number of passages and power) parameters on decolourisation of indigo dyed denim ...
Factors influencing the removal of divalent cations by hydroxyapatite
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2008)
The effect of pH, contact time, initial metal concentration and presence of common competing cations, on hydroxyapatite (HAP) sorption properties towards Ph2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, and Sr2+ ions was studied and compared using a ...
Synthesis and characterization of biodegradable aliphatic copolyesters with poly(ethylene oxide) soft segments
(Elsevier Ltd, 2008)
A series of multiblock poly(ether-ester)s based on poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) as the hard segments and hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the soft segments was synthesized with the aim of developing degradable ...
Use of nonlinear frequency response analysis for model discrimination: Example - DMFC anode kinetics
(18th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering, CHISA 2008, 2008)
Nonlinear frequency response analysis is proven as a powerful tool for the characterization of nonlinear systems. A set of frequency response functions (FRF), which contain different information, is obtained. In a number ...
Comparison of different technologies for alginate beads production
(Springer International Publishing Ag, Cham, 2008)
This paper describes the results of the round robin experiment "Bead production technologies" carried out during the COST 840 action "Bioencapsulation Innovation and Technologies" within the 5th Framework Program of the ...
Analysis of the composite and film hardness of electrodeposited nickel coatings on different substrates
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2008)
Fine-grained nickel thin films were electrodeposited from a self-made sulphamate-based electrolyte on different substrates: polycrystalline cold-rolled copper and single crystal silicon with two different orientations, ...
TIMS and MALDI TOF of endohedral Li-n"C-70 (n=1-3) metallofullerenes
(Natl Inst Optoelectronics, Bucharest-Magurele, 2008)
Using the ion implantation technique (introducing negatively charged fullerene into a low temperature lithium plasma column by a strong axial magnetic field) endohedral fullerenes Li"C-70, Li-2"C-70 and Li-3"C-70 were ...
Antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles deposited on corona-treated polyester and polyamide fabrics
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2008)
The possibility of using a corona treatment (electrical discharge at atmospheric pressure) for fiber surface activation, which can facilitate the loading of silver nanoparticles (NPs) from colloids onto the polyester (PES) ...
The influence of bonding agents in improving interactionsin composite propellants determined using image analysis
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2008)
Binder-oxidizer interactions in rocket composite propellants can be improved using adequate bonding agents. In the present work, the effectiveness of different 1,3,5-trisubstituted isocyanurates was determined by stereo ...
