In order to prepare a lightweight and efficient microwave absorbent, porous activated carbon balls (PACB) were used to load Fe(3+) and Co(2+) ions, because the PACB carrier has a high specific surface area of 800 m(2) g(-1) and abundant pores, including micropores and macropores. The loaded Fe(3+) and Co(2+) ions in the PACB composite were transformed into magnetic CoFe2O4 and/or Co3Fe7 particl...

Copper/diamond (Cu/D) composites are famous in thermal management applications for their high thermal conductivity values. They, however, offer some interface related problems like high thermal boundary resistance and excessive debonding. This paper investigates interfacial debonding in Cu/D composites subjected to steady-state and transient thermal cyclic loading. A micro-scale finite element ...

Attempts have been made to describe the influence of the production process parameters and additions of iron powders on properties of copper infiltrated HSS based composites. The powder compositions used to produce skeletons for further infiltration were: M3/2, M3/2+20% Fe and M3/2+50% Fe. The powders were cold pressed at 800 MPa. The infiltration process was carried out in vacuum. Both green c...

In this paper, effects of ply orientation of adjacent plies with (ϕ//θ) interfaces on mode II critical strain energy release rate (fracture toughness) of multidirectional (MD) laminate has been studied. Ply orientation of adjacent plies is one of the most important parameters affects the mode II critical strain energy release rate () in the initiation of the delamination. To  study this paramet...

Theoretical modeling of the magnetic properties Fe 3 O 4 -Fe 3-x Ti x composites obtained by sol-gel method with subsequent hydrothermal treatment has been carried out. The magnetization reversal fields and number particles in different states an ensemble two-phase infinitely thin boundary between phases a characteristic size varying range from 30 to 80 nm were calculated using "magnet...

We evaluated the inducibility of nitrate-dependent Fe(II)-EDTA oxidation (NDFO) in non-growth, chloramphenicol-amended, resting-cell suspensions of Dechloromonas sp. strain UWNR4 and Acidovorax sp. strain 2AN. Cells previously incubated with Fe(II)-EDTA oxidized ca. 6-fold more Fe(II)-EDTA than cells previously incubated with Fe(III)-EDTA. This is the first report of induction of NDFO by Fe(II).

In this research, graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles were modified by second and fourth generations of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers in order to improve the particle dispersion quality in the epoxy matrix and therefore its barrier anti-corrosion performance. Confirmation on the GO surface modification by Polyamidoamine generation 2 (PAMAM2) and polyamidoamin generation 4 (PAMAM4) was carried o...

Fe -Cu alloys (40≤x≤90) prepared by ball milling nominally pure (99%) Fe and Cu powders and warm x 100-x compacted (at ∼300 °C) were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Both FCC and BCC diffraction peaks (indicative of pure Fe and Cu) showed that the mixtures were still two phase even after...

A combination of magnetic and temperature-responsive properties in the same polymer composites is expected to increase their potential applications in the biomedical field. Accordingly, micron-sized magnetite/polystyrene/poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate), which are abbreviated as Fe 3 O 4 /PS/P (DM-EGDM) composite polymer particles, were prepared by the seede...

The effect of Fe ion concentration on the morphological, structural, and optical properties of TiO2 films supported on silica (SiO2) opals has been studied. TiO2:Fe2O3 films were prepared by the sol-gel method in combination with a vertical dip coating procedure; precursor solutions of Ti and Fe were deposited on a monolayer of SiO2 opals previously deposited on a glass substrate by the same pr...
