The effect of molybdenum additions on the creep properties of two orthorhombic titanium aluminide materials, Ti-22Al-26Nb and Ti-22Al-24.5Nb-1.5Mo (at.%), has
We study the effects of viscosity ratio, surfaces and shear on droplet morphology in immiscible polymer blends during extrusion. These in-line experiments are

The surface reaction of gamma-isocyanatopropyl triethoxy silane coupling agent and octadecyl amine was investigated water contact goniometry, near edge x-ray
Bulk observations of crack tip dislocation emission in NaC1 and KC1 have been made in both blunting and jogging orientations. Measurements of the critical

We have developed new moldable, resorbable, composite bone grafts made of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) and poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) [PLGA] microspheres
We give a new approach to obtain the through-thickness-direction along the Young modulus of a thin orthotropic plate. The method minimizes errors because eight
We describe a technique for simultaneously measuring the bulk and interfacial thermal transport coefficients of semiconductor supported dielectric films
Given the constantly evolving nature of polymer science, it is difficult to construct a unified description of its basics concepts and phenomenology. Graessley

We have utilized dielectrophoretic force for assembling long (50 microns-200 microns) GaN nanowires for device fabrication. These catalyst free nanowires were
The robustness of a proposed test for elastic springback characterization of sheet metal has been examined using a matrix of defined experimental errors. A

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) have received tremendous interest since the discovery of substantial room temperature tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) due to
In this article, we discuss creep deformation as it relates to thin films and multilayer foils. We begin by reviewing experimental techniques for studying creep

Spent fuel rods removed from reactor cores are loaded under water into steel casks, which are then removed from the water, vacuum dried, and welded closed for
The physicochemical and mechanical properties of two calcium phosphate carbonate cements (CPCC-1 and CPCC-2) formed in solution reaction of (1) [alpha]
There are several phenomenological damping formulations currently in use in the literature. Beyond the Landau-Lifshitz equation (LL) and the Bloch-Bloembergen
Truly widespread application of ceramics in dental practice (along with major esthetic improvements) awaited two important structural innovations that did not

A series of smooth Fe-Pt thin film alloys have been grown by electrodeposition at potentials positive to that required to deposit elemental Fe. XRD of 100 nm
We consider what is, perhaps, martensite's greatest crystallographic problem: ferrous martensites with a habit plane p near (225)f, or viewed more recently as

In this paper, the failure behavior of glass fiber microcomposites is investigated. E-glass fibers treated with an epoxy compatible sizing were embedded in a
Bakhuis Roozeboom's Die Heterogenen Gleichgewichte vom Standpunkte der Phasenlehre was a monumental work that established and taught many fundamental principles
An atomic force microscope (AFM) is used to measure the force on a quartz rod as the rod is pulled from an air/fluid interface. The rod is pulled into the
