Dry graphene transfer print to polystyrene and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene ? detailed chemical, structural, morphological and electrical characterization

May 17, 2015
Author(s)
Evegeniya Lock, Dean DeLongchamp, Scott Schmucker, Blake Simpkins, Matthew Laskoski, Shawn Mulvaney, Daniel R. Hines, Mira Baraket, Sandra Hernandez, Jeremy Robinson, Paul Sheehan, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Scott Walton
In this paper we apply a transfer print approach that relies on differential adhesion to remove graphene from Cu foil to polystyrene (PS) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) without etching of the metal foil. The polymer surfaces are

Confronting the Complexity of Commercial Carbon Nanotube Materials

May 13, 2015
Author(s)
Luis Fernando Vargas Lara, Jack F. Douglas
The morphology of commercially available carbon nanotube materials is often much more complex than the term “carbon nanotube” (CNT) would imply. Commercial CNT materials are typically composed of roughly spherical CNT domains having a highly ramified

ELEVATED TEMPERATURE ADHESION TESTING OF SPRAY-APPLIED FIRE-RESISTIVE MATERIALS

May 13, 2015
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Kar T. Tan, Donald L. Hunston, Walter E. Byrd
Effective fire protection of steel can be fully realized when spray-applied fire resistive materials (SFRMs) are bonded sufficiently to structural steel during the event of fire. The adhesion mechanisms and characterization at elevated temperatures

Electro-thermal Simulation of 1200 V 4H-SiC MOSFET Short-Circuit SOA

May 10, 2015
Author(s)
Tam H. Duong, Jose M. Ortiz, David W. Berning, Allen R. Hefner Jr., Sei-Hyung Ryu, John W. Palmour
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a dynamic electro-thermal simulation and analysis approach for device design and short-circuit safe-operating-area (SOA) characterization using a physics-based electro-thermal Saber®* model. Model parameter

Free Space Microwave Non Destructive Characterization of Composite Materials

May 4, 2015
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Ahmed M. Hassan, Edward J. Garboczi
We present a free-space microwave experimental measurement system for the non-destructive testing of composite materials. The system operates in the Q- frequency band of 30 GHz to 50 GHz with fixed wave propagation distance between free-space antennas

NGD Cold Neutron Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis Spectrometer at NIST

April 1, 2015
Author(s)
Rick L. Paul, Dagistan NMN Sahin, Jeremy C. Cook, Christoph W. Brocker, Richard M. Lindstrom, Donna J. O'Kelly
A new instrument for cold neutron prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (CNPGAA) has been designed and constructed as part of the recent expansion of the cold neutron guide hall at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). Located on neutron guide NGD

Interplay of particle shape and suspension properties: a study of cube-like particles

March 20, 2015
Author(s)
Debra J. Audus, Ahmed M. Hassan, Edward J. Garboczi, Jack F. Douglas
With advances in anisotropic particle synthesis, particle shape is now a feasible parameter for tuning suspension properties. However, there is a need to determine how these newly synthesized particles affect suspension properties and a need to solve the

Preparation and Separation of DNA-Wrapped Carbon Nanotubes

March 18, 2015
Author(s)
Geyou Ao, Ming Zheng
Purification of single-chirality single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)from their synthetic mixture is a prerequisite for many applications. DNA-controlled carbon nanotube (CNT) purification has evolved over a decade along with other separation techniques

Redox sorting of carbon nanotubes

March 17, 2015
Author(s)
Hui Gui, Jason K. Streit, Jeffrey Fagan, Angela R. Hight Walker, Chongwu Zhou, Ming Zheng
This work expands the redox chemistry of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) by investigating its role in a number of SWCNT sorting processes. Using a polyethylene glycol (PEG)/dextran (DX) aqueous two-phase system, we show that electron-transfer reaction

X-ray CT imaging and finite element computations of the elastic properties of a rigid organic foam compared to experimental measurements: Implications for foam grade differences and process control

March 17, 2015
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Aaron Forster, Jan Miller, Chen-Luh Lin, Cesar Chan, Kumar Natesaiyer, David Song, Suman Sinha-Ray
A combined computational/experimental materials science technique was developed for acquiring the structure of a rigid organic foam (ROHACELL) using X-ray computed tomography with appropriate image analysis, computing the elastic moduli using large-scale

Beam broadening in transmission EBSD

March 16, 2015
Author(s)
Robert R. Keller, Katherine P. Rice, Mark Stoykovich
Transmission electron backscatter diffraction (t-EBSD), also known as transmission electron forward scatter diffraction (t-EFSD) or transmission Kikuchi diffraction in the SEM (TKD-SEM), can provide significant improvements in spatial resolution over

Local Strain Exerted on Nb 3 Sn Filaments in an ITER Strand

March 13, 2015
Author(s)
Kozo Osamura, Shutaro Machiya, Stefanus Harjo, Tatsushi Nakamoto, Najib Cheggour, Arend Nijhuis
As part of an international project to benchmark facilities for measuring the strain dependence of critical current in ITER Nb 3Sn strands, direct measurement of local strain exerted on Nb 3Sn filaments was attempted at cryogenic temperature by means of
