Surfaces of novel block copolymers with amphiphilic side chains were studied for adhesion of marine organisms. the surface-active polymer, obtained by grafting fluorinated molecules with hydrophobic and hydrophilic blocks to a block copolymer precursor

Subsolidus phase relations have been determined for the Bi-Mn-Nb-O system in air (750-900 C). Phases containing Mn2+, Mn3+, and Mn4+ were all observed. Ternary compound formation was limited to pyrochlore, which formed a substantial solid solution region

Nanocrystalline ceria particles, with dimensions as small as 2 nm, have been prepared at room temperature by a soft chemical route using aqueous cerium nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) as reactants. HMT decomposes slowly in aqueous solution

Subsolidus phase relations have been determined for the Bi2O3-Fe2O3-Nb2O5 system in air (900-1075 C). Three new ternary phases were observed Bi3Fe0.5Nb1.5O9 with an Aurivillius-type structure, and two phases with approximate stoichiometries Bi17Fe2Nb31O106

For applications of phase equilibria to second-generation coated-conductor high Tc superconductor processing, phase diagrams constructed under carbonate-free conditions are needed. Using a procedure for preparing carbonate-free precursors based on BaO, the
X-ray diffraction topography, which is sensitive to local strain and/or crystallographic orientation, provides a unique view of single-crystal samples both before and after fracture. It can find strength and performance limiting surface and subsurface

Soft x-ray absorption (XAS), using fluorescence yield, was used to study the boron K near edge in MgB2 superconductor. The sample consists of MgB2 crystallites randomly oriented in a magnesium matrix. Abrasion of the sample surface in vacuum provides a
