Winnie Wong-Ng, Zhi Yang, Lawrence P. Cook
For applications of phase equilibria to coated conductor processing, phase diagrams constructed under carbonate-free conditions should be employed. Using special apparatus and a procedure for preparing carbonate-free precursors based on BaO, phase diagrams

Surface and Interface Properties of Crosslinked Amine-Cured Epoxies

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, G Xiaohong, M Giraud, Mark R. VanLandingham, Jonathan W. Martin
The surface and film/substrate interface properties of a coating system have a strong influence on its adhesion and durability. However, both the surface and interface chemical composition and microstructure of a crosslinked coating applied to a substrate

Survey of the State-of-the-Art for Ocean Wave Energy Conversion Systems

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Kathryn Butler, Marc R. Nyden, William G. Rippey
It is possible to generate electrical energy from the motion of water due to ocean tides and waves. Oceans are a much more ubiquitous source of flowing water than river gorges, and the ability to efficiently harness this energy could potentially solve many

Technology Trends Assessment - Thin Film Thermal Conductivity Measurement

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
A Feldman
The purpose of this document is to propose a standard procedure for measuring the thermal conductivity of insulating thin films on silicon substrates. The initial part of the assessment is a review of several measurement methods that have been used to

Telling Time

Jonathan E. Hardis
In Low-Tech Blues [June], you note that we are surrounded by clocks, but lament the lack of systems to set them automatically. Our job is to help fix that. Your readers can use our time servers (www. Bldrdoc.gov/timefreq/service/its.htm) to automatically

Testing of an Alternate Smoking Material

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Richard Gann
ASTM test method E2187-02b is not appropriate for measuring the ignition strength of a cigarette-shaped smoking material that does not have a tobacco column that burns during smoking. This letter reports a measurement of the relative ignition strength of

M A. Ehlen
A recent U.S. Census survey indicates that the two Illinois manufacturing extension centers, affiliated with the national Manufacturing Extension Partnership, have improved the performance of small Illinois firms and the Illinois state economy. Over a two

The Effect of Plowing on Nanofriction

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Stephen M. Hsu, Z C. Ying
Development of low friction surfaces has become an important issue for the development of reliable devices with moving components. The common way to measure nanofriction is to use a sharp tip sliding on a sample surface. High contact pressure at the tip

The Effects of Nanostructure on the Stability of Nanocomposite Building Materials
