In this paper we describe the role that mathematics plays in measurement science at NIST. We first survey the history behind NIST's current work in this area...
Objectives: This study determined the validity and practicality of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic techniques for measurement of conversion in dental resins...
Objectives: A consolidated silver (CS) material, composed of acid activated silver particles has been developed for direct filling applications. The hypothesis...
The 1 MHz dielectric properties of Ca 5Nb 2TiO 12 and Ca 5Ta 2TiO 12 compounds were reported recently. Both compounds have a common characteristic dependence of...
The discontinuouis plastic flow exhibited by numerous aluminum alloys presents significant challenges to the use of aluminum alloys in many automotive...

This paper presents experimental results and theoretical calculations to evaluate the effects of Pb contamination on the solidification behavior of Sn-x mass Bi...
Microcracking due to thermal expansion anisotropy is considered based on a finite element model. A polycrystalline microstructure is generated via Monte Carlo...
A self-setting calcium phosphate cement (CPC) transforms into solid hydroxyapatite during setting at body temperature, and has been used in a number of medical...
The strength and fracture resistance of dental resin composites need to be improved in order to extend their use to large stress-bearing crown and multiple-unit...
The friction of three chemically distinct esters was measured in order to determine how molecular architecture influences friction. The friction coefficients of...
The origins of two broad, unresolved features often observed in MALDI mass spectra of synthetic polymers are investigated. One occurs in the lower mass regions...

The mean-square atomic displacement of thin (1015 to 75 ) polycarbonate films supported on Si wafers is measured using incoherent elastic neutron scattering...
We have studied the modification of mica surfaces due to the impact of Xe44+ ions by imaging the ion-exposed surfaces with atomic force microscopy in vacuum. By...
