The objective of our research was to extend the use of the single fiber fragmentation test to include fast reacting resin systems and to determine the effect of gelation time on interfacial shear properties. To do this work, we developed a processing

The structures of the solid solution series (Sr 4-δCa δ)PtO 6, with δ = 0, 0.85(1), 2, and 3, have been investigated using the Rietveld refinement technique with laboratory x-ray powder data. A complete solid solution between Sr and Ca was confirmed to
A follow-on to Measures for Progress by Rexmond C. Cochrane, this work covers the history of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) from 1950-1969. While the book focuses on technical work, the management and administration of the Bureau are also discussed
Commission V covers issues of weld inspection and quality control for the International Institute of Welding (IIW). This report summarizes the information presented at the 1998 Annual Assembly: descriptions of both research and draft ISO standards being

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-destructive and non-contact technique that images microstructure within scattering media. In this work, the versatility of OCT for non-destructive evaluation is demonstrated through imaging of composite

Single crystals of Ba 6Fe 45Ti 17O 106 and BaFe 11Ti 3O 23 were obtained as major and minor co-products, respectively, by slow-cooling an off-stoichiometric BaO:Fe 2O 3:TiO 2 melt. The former compound exhibits variable stoichiometry Ba 6Fe 48-xTi 14+xO 106

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-destructive and non-contact technique to image microstructure within scattering media. The application of OCT to highly scattering materials such as polymer composites is especially challenging. In this work, OCT

Diffraction anomalous fine-structure (DAFS) experiments measure Bragg peak intensities as continuous functions of photon energy near a core-level excitation. Measuring the integrated intensity at each energy makes the experiments prohibitively slow
X-ray diffraction topography has been used as a nondestructive characterization tool to investigate single-crystal sapphire for window and dome applications. A variety of examples are shown that demonstrate the utility of x-ray diffraction imaging as a
The single fiber fragmentation test has been modified by embedding multiple fibers into matrix resin. During testing, we examined the interfacial shear strengths between the fibers and the matrix. In addition, the time-dependent nature of the fragmentation

The Polymers Division hosted the Workshop on Micromechanics Measurement Technologies for Fiber-Polymer Interfaces, jointly sponsored by NIST and the Textile Research Institute of Princeton, NJ, on May 28-30, 1997. Fifty researchers from industry, academia
In the last decade or so, numerous advances have occurred in the field of information technology. Through the use of computers, the amount of available information and the speed at which it can be retrieved have both increased dramatically. The

A method for the complete removal of twins from single crystals of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-x is described. The process depends on ferroelastic behavior found to exist in the phase, and should be generally applicable to the layered perovskite-type phases
Cellulose nanofibers have good elastic modulus properties and can be used as nano-reinforcements in polymer composites. Native cellulose nanofibers from wood, Tunicate, and bacteria (Acetobacter xylium) were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM)
X-ray spectra measured in the variable-pressure scanning electron microscope (VPSEM, chamber pressure 1 to 2500 Pa) suffer significantly degraded spatial resolution compared to high-vacuum SEM (operating pressure 0.1 mass fraction), minor (0.01≤ C ≤ 0.1)

Nanoparticle (NP) enhanced polymers have the potential to revolutionize food packaging and water pipe performance, though release from these materials has gone relatively unstudied. A literature review was conducted to identify potential NP release
