The commercial aviation sector is seeking to reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, with sustainable fuel (SAF) being the most important lever. However, SAF currently limited ASTM specifications a maximum of 50%v blending conventional jet fuel. One reason for current blend limit motivation maintain o-ring swelling consistent 100% petroleum This work explores relationships between components, mod...

Graphite is the most commonly used anode material in commercial lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). Understanding mechanisms driving dimensional changes of graphite can pave way to methods for inhibiting degradation pathways and possibly predict electrochemical performance loss. In this study, correlative microscopy tools were alongside dilatometry (ECD) provide new insights into during galvanostatic...

Aiming at understanding the governing microstructural phenomena during heat treatments of Ni-free Ti-based shape memory materials for biomedical applications, a series of Ti-Nb alloys with Nb concentrations up to 29 wt% was produced by cold-crucible casting, followed by homogenization treatment and water quenching. Despite the large amount of literature available concerning the thermal stabilit...

The effect of the addition of porcelain fired scraps on the sintering, phase composition and properties of a hard porcelain was studied. Two ceramics were compared: a commercial triaxial porcelain labelled C-0 and one, where 15% of the mass of C-0 was substituted by scraps yielding a composition labelled C-15. The sintering was evaluated by the linear shrinkage, the water absorption and the var...

In the present study, the sinter-crystallization behavior of a glass from municipal solid waste incineration ashes was investigated. The crystallization kinetics were estimated by DTA at different heating rates and the formed crystalline phases were evaluated by XRD. The sintering was studied at different heating rates and at different holding temperatures by dilatometry, measuring the % of lin...

Microchemical techniques with the capability of single-cell analysis will become increasingly important in clinical laboratory practice. One of the current moves underway in this direction is determination of enzyme activities of cells by microscale spectrophotometry and spectrophotofluorometry for prenatal diagnosis of inherited enzyme deficiencies. Three less-common microanalytical techniques...

Ah&act-The tem~ratu~-de~ndent thermal expansivities of melts along the join ano~hite-diopside have been determined on glassy and liquid samples using a combination of calorimetry, dilatometry, and Pt double bob Archimedean densitometry. Supercooled liquid volumes and molar thermal expansivities were determined using scanning calorimetric and dilatometric measurements of properties in the glass ...

We systematically studied the competition between polymorphic transformations and amorphisation of hexagonal ice on isobaric heating from 77 K to 155-170 K at pressures between 0.50 and 1.00 GPa. This competition is analysed here systematically by in situ dilatometry and ex situ X-ray diffraction and calorimetry. Volume vs. temperature curves were analysed using a novel fitting approach in orde...
