In this work, the effects of micro-alloying Mn, Ni, and Si on microstructure mechanical properties high-carbon pearlite steels were investigated. The results indicated that addition solely Ni to pearlitic steel can enhance strength through refinement interlamellar spacing, but work-hardening in ferrite colony may be delayed, leading a reduction area. multiple additions increase Mn contents bene...

a gel composite (based on polyacrylamide and crosslinker cr(iii) acetate) was prepared by solvent method (distillate and water formation) and nanoclay particle (kaolinite). using xrd tests, d001 was evaluated for kaolinite nanoparticles in gel composite. kaolinite modification using dimethyl-sulfoxide led to increase interlamellar spacing from 7.21 to 10.82 o a. based on the results obtained fo...

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were synthesized by the chemical reducing method in the external and interlamellar space of montmorillonite (MMT) as a solid support at room temperature. AgNO(3) and NaBH(4) were used as a silver precursor and reducing agent, respectively. The most favorable experimental conditions for synthesizing Ag NPs in the MMT are described in terms of the initial concentrati...

The fish gill is the most physiologically diversified vertebrate organ, and its vasculature the most intricate. Application of vascular corrosion techniques that couple high-fidelity resins, such as methyl methacrylate, with scanning electron microscopy yields three-dimensional replicas of the microcirculation that have fostered a better appreciate gill perfusion pathways. This is the focus of ...

The developed model of diffusion‐limited and diffusionless solidification a eutectic alloy describes the relation “undercooling (Δ T )‐velocity ( V )‐interlamellar spacing (λ)” for two cases. Namely, when front velocity is smaller than solute diffusion speed in bulk liquid D , < predicts regime similarly to known classical models. If higher speed, > mainly controlled by kinetic thermal un...

We confirm with high-resolution techniques the existence of mineral bridges between superposed nacre tablets. In the towered nacre of both gastropods and the cephalopod Nautilus there are large bridges aligned along the tower axes, corresponding to gaps (150-200 nm) in the interlamellar membranes. Gaps are produced by the interaction of the nascent tablets with a surface membrane that covers th...
