The aim of the present work was to quantify accessible porosities for iodide and for a water tracer (HTO) on water-saturated compacted clay samples (illite, montmorillonite and MX-80 bentonite) and to relate these macroscopic values to the forms of water in these porosities (surface/bulk water, external/internal water). Low field proton NMR was used to characterize and quantify the forms of wat...

PolyHIPEs are emulsion-templated polymers synthesized within high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). The miscibility of acrylonitrile (AN) with water has made it difficult to synthesize PAN-based polyHIPEs. This paper describes the successful synthesis of PAN-based polyHIPEs by crosslinking through copolymerization with divinylbenzene (DVB), by stabilization with a polyglycerol polyricinoleate s...

The effect of 12 different experimental compositions of phosphate-bonded SiO2 investments was examined on cast pure titanium. The mold temperature was 600 degrees C and the casting was conducted with an argon-arc melting and pressure casting machine. Castability was evaluated by the volume of casting porosity, which was calculated from the volume of wax pattern (15 mm x 15 mm x 1.5 mm), the wei...

This paper explains the implications of a mathematical theory (by the same authors) of holes in fractals and their relation to dimension for measurements. The novelty of our approach is to consider the fractal measure on a set rather than just the support of that measure. This should take into account in a more precise way the distribution of data points in measured sets, such as the distributi...

          USD7 is one of the steel products of Isfahan Steel Company. It is cast in continuous casting moulds and rolled up to a rod of 5 mm diameter. Finally, it is wire drawn up to 3 mm and used as welding electrodes. This steel contains 0.05 to 0.09 wt. % carbon. The acceptable limit of the aluminium in this class of steel is less than 0.003 wt%. Therefore, it is categorized as rimmed steel...

Recently, Functionally Graded Scaffolds (FGSs) have attracted a lot of attention as bone replacements due to their gradient porosities as well as a bone structure. In present study titanium functionally graded scaffolds (FGSs) were fabricated by powder metallurgy route using Mg and carbamide as space holders. The arranged layers with 20, 40 and 60 Vol.% porosities were compacted in steel die us...
