NIST Workshop on Materials Test Procedures for Hydrogen Pipelines

September 1, 2007
Author(s)
Thomas A. Siewert, Joseph D. McColskey, Richard E. Ricker
The Materials Reliability and Metallurgy Divisions have expanded their efforts to advance the technology for the construction, repair, and inspection of pipelines. One key factor is to identify and prioritize the research needs of the pipeline community

Analysis of Welding Parameter Distribution in Stud Arc Welding

July 15, 2007
Author(s)
Ivan Samardzic, Stefanija Klaric, Thomas A. Siewert
This paper describes the application of on-line monitoring system for recording welding current and voltage during stud arc welding with a ceramic ferrule. Recorded values of welding current and voltage are analyzed off-line for the weld process with both

Tuning Polymer Melt Fragility With Antiplasticizer Additives

June 19, 2007
Author(s)
Robert A. Riggleman, Jack F. Douglas, J J. de Pablo
A polymer-diluent model exhibiting antiplasticization has beendeveloped and characterized by molecular dynamics simulations. Antiplasticizer molecules are shown to decrease the glass transition temperature Tg, but to increase the elastic moduli of the

Computer Simulations of Ionomer Self-Assembly and Dynamics

May 17, 2007
Author(s)
Moonjoy Goswami, S K. Kumar, Aniket Bhattacharya, Jack F. Douglas
Computer simulations of a model telechelic ionomer, i.e. a melt with a charge at each chain end along with neutralizing counterions, indicate a form of self-assembly that is hybrid between the packing driven interactions in block copolymers and the

Influence of Indium-Tin Oxide Surface Structure on the Ordering and Coverage of Organosilane, Carboxylic Acid and Thiol Monolayers

May 17, 2007
Author(s)
M Cerruti, C Rhodes, M Losego, A Efremenko, Jon-Paul Maria, Daniel A. Fischer, D L. Feldheim, S Franzen, Jan Genzer
We report on the formation of organosilane-, carboxylic acid- and thiol-based self assembled monolayers (SAMs) on two lots of commercially prepared Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films. Contact angle measurements, electrochemical experiments, and near-edge x

Fracture Toughness through a Welded Pipeline Section - Crack Tip Opening Angle Criterion

April 23, 2007
Author(s)
Philippe P. Darcis, Christopher N. McCowan, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Joseph D. McColskey, Avigdor Shtechman, Thomas A. Siewert
The increasing demand for natural gas as an alternative energy source implies continued growth of gas pipeline installations. This trend compels the natural gas transmission industry to consider the construction of larger-diameter, higher-pressure

Broadband Electrical Characterization of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Contacts

March 22, 2007
Author(s)
Paul Rice, T. M. Wallis, Stephen E. Russek, Pavel Kabos
We have welded an individual multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) onto a microlithographically-patterned coplanar waveguide (CPW) and measured the electrical response of the nanotube and the contacts from 100 MHz to 24 GHz. The MWNT was welded to the CPW in

Interrogation of 'Surface', 'Skin' and 'Core' Orientation in Thermotropic Liquid-Crystalline Copolyester Moldings by Near-Edge X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure and Wide-Angle X-Ray Scattering

February 26, 2007
Author(s)
S Rendon, Robert A. Bubeck, L S. Thomas, W R. Burghardt, A Hexemer, Daniel A. Fischer
Injection molding of thermotropic liquid-crystalline polymers (TLCPs) can result in molded articles the exhibit complex orientation states that vary considerably as a function of depth in the part. Skin-core morphologies are often observed in TLCP moldings

Effects of Vacancies on Properties of Relaxor Ferroelectrics: A First-Principles Study

February 13, 2007
Author(s)
L Bellaiche, Jorge Iniguez, Eric J. Cockayne, Benjamin P. Burton
A first-principles-based model is developed to investigate the influence of lead vacancies on the properties of relaxor ferroelectric Pb(Sc1/2Nb1/2)O3 (PSN). Lead vacancies generate large, inhomogeneous, electric fields that reduce barriers between energy

Mechanically Robust Spin-On Organosilicates Glasses for Nanoporous Applications

February 7, 2007
Author(s)
Hyun Wook Ro, K Char, Eun-Chae Jeon, H C. Kim, Dongil Kwon, Hae-Jeong Lee, J. H. Lee, Hee-Woo Rhee, Christopher L. Soles, Do Y. Yoon
An increasing number of technologies demand nanoporous materials with vastly improved physical, mechanical and thermal properties. This manuscript develops the microstructural basis for synthesizing organosilicate glasses (OSGs) with unprecedented thermal
