Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposite Latex Films via Instrumented Indentation

September 6, 2006
Author(s)
Aaron M. Forster, Stephanie S. Watson, Laura Johnson, Li Piin Sung
Inorganic particles, introduced into networked or glassy polymer films, have been used to increase the stiffness of films as a function of pigment loading. Latex films often contain inorganic pigments to increase the opaqueness of the film and to act as UV

Self-Assembled Monolayers: Effect of Chain Length on Nanofriction

September 6, 2006
Author(s)
S Hsieh, S Sambasivan, J V. Sengers, Stephen M. Hsu
We measured the interfacial friction of a series of alkylsilanes with chain lengths from C5 to C30 on silicon (100) surfaces using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The dependence of the friction on chain length exhibits an optimum curvature with C12

Unstructured Facility Navigation by Applying the NIST 4D/RCS Architecture

September 5, 2006
Author(s)
Roger V. Bostelman, Tsai Hong Hong, Tommy Chang, William P. Shackleford, Michael O. Shneier
The National Institute of Standards and Technology s (NIST) Intelligent Systems Division (ISD) is working with the material handling industry, specifically on automated guided vehicles, to develop next generation vehicles. ISD is also a participant in the

Measurement of Materials Dielectric Properties

September 4, 2006
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut
Dielectric materials are the building blocks of functional electronic circuits, capacitors, gate dielectrics, transmission lines, and are essential as electrical insulators for power distribution. Molecular solids, organic polymer resins, ceramic glasses

Shielding And Attenuation Properties of Large Buildings and Structures

September 4, 2006
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Galen H. Koepke, Dennis G. Camell, Kate Remley, S. A. Schima, Dylan Williams
For various applications, there is a growing need to understand the shielding and/or attenuation properties of large buildings and structures. In this paper, we present experimental data for the coupling of electromagnetic fields into various types of

Spectroscopic phase-dispersion optical coherence tomography measurements of scattering phantoms

September 4, 2006
Author(s)
Shellee D. Dyer, Tasshi Dennis, Lara Roberson, Shelley M. Etzel, Thomas Germer, Andrew Dienstfrey
We demonstrate a novel technique to determine the size of Mie scatterers with high sensitivity. Our technique is based on spectral domain optical coherence tomography measurements of the phase dispersion that is induced by the scattering process. We use

A C-S-H Atomic-Scale Computational Toolkit: Application to Service Life Modeling

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Kenneth A. Snyder, Raymond D. Mountain, Antonio Faraone
A computational toolkit is being developed for studying materials relevant to portland cement hydration. The toolkit will eventually include both a materials database and a collection of computational tools for constructing atomic-scale models, of both

A Study on Search Engine Use by Intelligence Analysts

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Don E. Libes, Emile L. Morse, Jean C. Scholtz
This work reports on search engine use by intelligence analysts, generally considered experts at the task of searching for information. Intelligence analysts share a degree of common training and understanding while having widely differing backgrounds

Absorbed Dose to Water Calibration of Ionization Chambers in a 60 Co Gamma-Ray Beam

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Ronaldo Minniti, J Shobe, Stephen M. Seltzer, Huaiyu H. Chen-Mayer, S R. Domen
Absorbed-dose-to-water calibrations are important to the medical community to facilitate the accurate determination of doses delivered to tumors during external-beam cancer therapy. The first version of this document offered an absorbed-dose-to-water

Applying NIST SP 800-53 to Industrial Control Systems

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Stuart W. Katzke, Keith A. Stouffer, Marshall Abrams, David Norton, Joe Weiss
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has established an Industrial Control System Security Project to improve the security of public and private sector Industrial Control Systems (ICSs). A major part of the project is to research the

Crack Tip Opening Angle: Measurement and Modeling of Fracture Resistance in Low and High Strength Pipeline Steels

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Philippe P. Darcis, Joseph D. McColskey, Christopher N. McCowan, Thomas A. Siewert, Gabriel Kohn, Arry Bussiba, Richard J. Fields
Crack tip opening angle (CTOA) is becoming one of the more widely accepted properties for characterizing fully plastic fracture. In fact, it has been recognized as a measure of the resistance of a material to fracture, in cases where there is a large
