we chose Sn10Bi, Sn10Bi10In, Sn20Bi, and Sn20Bi20In (numbers are in weight percent) rapidly solidified from melt using melt-spinning technique for intermediate –step soldering. We then investigated the structure, electrical and mechanical properties of the melt-spun ribbons using x-ray diffraction, double bridge circuit, dynamic resonance technique, and Vickers microhardeness tester. It was con...

The focus of this study is to investigate the capabilities of three dimensional (3D) RVE models in predicting the tensile modulus of carbon nanotube/polypropylene (CNT/PP) composites, which differ slightly in the dispersion, agglomeration, and orientation states of CNT within the PP matrix. The composites are made using melt mixing followed by either injection molding or melt spinning of fibers...

The rapid melting of silicon film due to the absorption of a CW laser beam radiation is studied. The silicon film melting and recrystallization is mainly controlled by the temperature distribution in the semiconductor. The enthalpy technique for the solution of phase change problems is used in an explicit finite difference form to calculate the transient temperature distribution in the silicon ...

Morokweng is a large, 145 Ma impact structure in the Northwest Province of South Africa. The impact origin of this structure and its melt rock has been confirmed by ample evidence of shock metamorphism in clasts within the melt rock and samples from granitoid basement below the melt body. The age of this structure is indistinguishable from the biostratigraphic age of the Jurassic-Cretaceous (J-...

In this work, we report about the mechanical relaxation characteristics of an intrinsically self-healable imidazole modified commercial rubber. This kind of self-healing rubber was prepared by melt mixing of 1-butyl imidazole with bromo-butyl rubber (bromine modified isoprene-isobutylene copolymer, BIIR). By this melt mixing process, the reactive allylic bromine of bromo-butyl rubber was conver...

[1] Analysis of the compositions of crystals and melt inclusions from a suite of 40 gabbroic and wehrlitic nodules in a single eruptive body provides a record of concurrent mixing and crystallization of melts under NE Iceland. The crystals in the nodules have a similar range of compositions to those found as phenocrysts in the flow, and many of the nodules may have been generated by crystalliza...

In this paper, we present the results of dispersion thermodynamically immiscible polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-propylene triple synthetic rubber (EPTSR) polymer blends using Solution-Enhanced Dispersion by Supercritical Fluid (SEDS) technique at operation conditions in pressure range (8 to 25) MPa temperatures t = 40 °C 60 °C. The kinetics crystallization phase transformation obtained convent...

Melt inclusions from Oligocene continental flood basalts (CFB) erupted in Yemen provide unique insight into the timing and nature of the processes that lead to crustal contamination and melt aggregation in CFB magmas. Large variations in trace element indices that are sensitive to the degree and composition of assimilated crustal material (e.g. K2O=0.20^1.94 wt%, Ba= 13^543 ppm, K/Nb=128^1603, ...
