The microstructures and weldability of a brazed joint of 1Cr18Ni9Ti austenitic stainless steel with BNi-2, BNi82CrSiBFe and BMn50NiCuCrCo filler metals in vacuum were investigated. It can be observed that an interdiffusion region existed between the filler metal and the base metal for the brazed joint of Ni-based filler metals. The width of the interdiffusion region was about 10 μm, and the mic...

Studies into the effects of ultrafine particles in the lung have shown adverse effects considered to be due in part to the particle size. Air pollution particles (PM(10)) are associated with exacerbations of respiratory disease and deaths from cardiovascular causes in epidemiological studies and the ultrafine fraction of PM(10) has been hypothesized to play an important role. The aim of the pre...

Inhalation of Rn progeny has been recognized as a health risk, primarily as a cause of human lung cancer. Rn progeny in the domestic environment contributes the greatest fraction of the natural radiation exposure to the public. The ultrafine activity of these progeny amounts up to about 10 percent of the total activity (attached and ultrafine), but is considered to yield about 50 percent of the...

By employing an idealized model of a polymer network and filler, we have investigated the stress-strain behavior by tuning the filler loading and polymer-filler interaction in a broad range. The simulated results indicate that there actually exists an optimal filler volume fraction (between 23% and 32%) for elastomer reinforcement with attractive polymer-filler interaction. To realize this rein...

Studies with intravenously injected ultrafine particles have shown that the liver is the major organ of their uptake from the blood circulation. Measuring translocation of inhaled ultrafine particles to extrapulmonary organs via the blood compartment is hampered by methodological difficulties (i.e., label may come off, partial solubilization) and analytical limitations (measurement of very smal...

Recent discovery that nanoscale twin boundaries can be introduced in ultrafine-grained metals to improve strength and ductility has renewed interest in the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms of these nanostructured materials. By controlling twin boundary spacing, the effect of twin boundaries on void growth is investigated by using atomistic simulation method. The strength is signif...

Subject of research: the article considers foamconcrete on quartz cement binder, mass introduction raw materials in construction can be considered practically achievable and economically profitable.
 Purpose technology foam concrete quartz-cement binder is proposed by introducing an ultrafine filler (nanomodifier) from activated waste into reduces consumption 10 % improves its physical mec...

Abstract This research aims to modify ultrafine fully vulcanized powdered natural rubber (UFPNR) prepared by emulsion graft-copolymerization with styrene (St) and acrylonitrile (AN) monomers onto deproteinized (DPNR). The effects of content St/AN weight ratio on grafting efficiency thermal stability the developed DPNR-g-(PS-co-PAN) were investigated. results showed that was enhanced up 86% 15 p...

Large-scale production of high purity (99.999%), nano-twinned, and ultrafine-grained copper foils (22 m thick) was successfully implemented by the use of nanoscale multilayer technology. The process allows the production of up to fourteen 10 cm diameter foils during a single deposition run with high levels of reproducibility. Mechanical tests demonstrate that the strength of the Cu foils (σy ∼ ...

Microstructures in nature are ultrafine and ordered in biological roles, which have attracted material scientists. Spirulina forms three-dimensional helical microstructure, one of remarkable features in nature beyond our current processing technology such as lithography in terms of mass-productivity and structural multiplicity. Spirulina varies its diameter, helical pitch, and/or length against...
