Fracture modes in a model glass/polymer coating/substrate system indented with hard spheres are investigated. The large modulus mismatch between the glass and
This paper compares the relative merits of liquid-phase sintered Β-Si 3N 4 with sintered α-SiC for high-temperature applications. These materials represent two
This paper presents straightforward procedures that can be used to assess the statistical significance of small-angle scattering data obtained using area
A polymer molecule threading through a pore in a plane membrane is allowed to adsorb on either or both sides of the membrane. Further, it is confined to the
Hybrid simulations are widely used in material science to investigate phenomena that require both a large system size and a high level of accuracy in critical

The damage generated by AC currents at 100 Hz in interconnects has been studied andcompared with mechanical fatigue damage in thin films. The nature of the
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS), small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have been used to characterize the size

Surface characteristics of a polymer coating, such as gloss, and their changes with weathering depend strongly on surface topography and morphology. Therefore
Dendritic crystallization of PEO/PMMA thin films is reported. The film thickness is kept constant while the PMMA molar mass and blend composition are varied
We have examined how the stress fields produced by interdiffusion in a binary solid-state diffusion couple change the thermodynamic boundary conditions and the

We report the influence of composition and very high transverse field annealing on the magnetic properties and structure of four FeCo-based amorphous and
The three dimensional cytoplasmic spread of osteoblast like MC3T3-E1 cells with substrate topography was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The
Currently available composite resins are susceptible to fracture and hence are not recommended for large stress-bearing posterior applications involving cusps

We review recent investigations of conventional and nanoparticle filled polymers using atomic force and optical microscopy, scattering (x-ray, neutron and
Polymer/Clay nanocomposites were compounded using a twin screw extruder that was instrumented with multiple sensors. The sensors were situated in a slit die

In this work we have demonstrated nanoscale GaN device structures made from individual GaN nanowires and electrical contacts utilizing Focused Ion Beam (FIB)
We studied the elastic and anelastic properties of an alloy steel containing 1.1 mass % copper subjected to various isothermal agings. The steel's hardness
Even before Ernst Mach used it to visualize sock waves cast by a supersonic bullet in 1888, the schlieren optical technique has been a valuable diagnostic tool
This paper presents experimental results and theoretical calculations that evaluate the effects of Bi contamination on the solidification behavior of Sn-Pb
finition for reference materials and the need for reference materials and reference data for tissue engineered medical products are given. The information

The pulp capping activity of an adhesive resin-based Ca-PO4 cement (RCPC) was evaluated on sound dog teeth after (7, 28 or 90) d, and on inflamed and sound
This paper describes modeling of the micromagnetic behavior near edges of ferromagentic thin films when uniform fields are applied in plane and perpendicular to
A formalism for high-order shape functions used in finite element analysis is developed. The formalism allows the shape functions to be conveniently expressed
Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are useful because of their excellent biocompatibility and self-hardening behavior. The setting reaction involving equimolar
Al interconnect lines, 2.6 υm wide, 0.5 υm thick, and 300 υm long, were synthesized with modified metal/passivation interfaces. The interface modifications are
