A new dielectric slit die sensor attached to the end of an extruder was designed to elucidate the melt properties of nylon 11 nanocomposites filled with...
A study is made of fracture from cyclic loading of WC spheres on the top surfaces of thick (1 mm) brittle layers on polymeric substrates, as representative of...

We describe recent progress at NIST in the development of compact, low-power atomic frequency references based on microfabrication processes. The physics...
We have measured the stability of a variety of photodiodes as they are irradiated with UV light from a pulsed excimer laser source operating at 157 nm using a...
Near-field scanning optical microscopy and Fourier analysis polarimetry are combined to obtain quantitative maps of the local retardance, (resulting from strain...

This paper reviews practices in the expression of uncertainty in the experimental literature for thermodynamic property measurements with determinations of...
We describe a frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down absorption spectrometer with automated scanning capabilities. The system utilizes the comb of ring-down...
