Early streamer emission (ESE) lightning protection systems are a relatively new approach to the perennial problem of lightining damage, and these systems may...
The structure of ultrathin silicon oxynitride films, used as gate dielectrics in integrated circuits (ICs), is studied using analytical electron microscopy (AEM...

One of the critical factors controlling the long-term performance and durability of composites in structural applications is the interfacial shear strength...
A lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase transition is reported for blends of the biodegradable polymers poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLA) and poly(ε...

Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are used to create organic-inorganic hybrid colloids in aqueous solution. The formation of gold colloids upon reduction of a...
Mineral fillers are added to extend and modify physical properties of polymers. To achieve porcessing control of mixing, real-time measurements are needed...

Blends were made by solution and melt mixing fatty acid modified dendrimers with various polyolefins. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) was used to...
Light is produced when a scanning tunneling microscopy is used to probe a metal surface. Recent experiments on cobalt utilizing a tungsten tip found that the...
We show how Scanning Electron Microscopy with Polarization Analysis (SEMPA) may be used to observe domain wall motion in amorphous ferromagnetic ribbons...
