Yttrium silicate coating[5, 6] is a promising candidate for oxidation resistant coating for its low oxygen diffusion coefficient and similar thermal expansion coefficient with silicon carbide. Webster et. al.[7] had prepared yttrium silicate coating on C/SiC using Y2O3/SiO2 slips by slip casting and sintering. The selected sintering parameters were 3 h at 1600 °C in flowing argon. The coating c...

The birefringence of a low-loss, high-reflectance coating applied to an 8-cm-diameter sapphire crystal grown in the m-axis direction has been mapped. By monitoring the transmission of a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity as a function of the polarization of the input light, we find an upper limit for the magnitude of the birefringence of 2.5 x 10(-4) rad and an upper limit in the variation in dire...

DB is a whitish to yellowish resin, characterized initially in terms of solubility, acid value, molecular weight (Mw), polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) and glass transition temperature (Tg). Neat plasticized films of DB (Damar Batu) are investigated for mechanical, water vapor transmission and moisture absorption properties. To improve the mechanical properties of the free films dibutyl sebacate, a...

In recent years, the number of high-voltage transmission lines has sharply increased with rapid development modern industry. However, a corona discharge phenomenon often occurs on exposed lines, leading to energy loss and noise pollution. Herein, we have proposed facile spraying method prepare superhydrophobic thermally conductive coating restrain vinyl silicone oil hydrogen as main materials m...

the corrosion protection abilities of modified copper in 2-[((z)-1-{6-[(2-sulfanylphenyl)ethanimidoyl]-2-pyridyl}ethylidene)  amino]-1-benzenthiol solution containing tio2 nanoparticles were evaluated by tafel  polarization  and  impedance  spectroscopy  in  3.5%  sodium chloride  solution.  the  samples  were  characterized  by  energy dispersive  x-ray  (edx)  and  scanning  electron  microsc...

A Si3N4 membrane with a thin Cr coating is proposed and demonstrated as an electron beam exit window. On average, 85% electron power transmission efficiency was achieved with a 1μm thick

The high fractional open area of metal thin film coatings, with two dimensional, hexagonally ordered, close packed arrays of holes, makes them of interest for the incorporation of plasmonic effects into a variety of optical devices. Gold films with hexagonal patterns of circular holes have been created on ZnSe infrared windows. The films have 2.50 μm diameter holes and a hexagonal lattice param...

The modification of carbon fibers for improving adhesion between fibers and an epoxy resin in composite materials has become the focus of attention. In this work the carbon fiber coating process has been devised in a way preventing the stiffening and clumping of fibers. To improve interactions between coated fibers and a resin in composites, four types of silica coatings with different organic ...

A monoclinic zirconia coating with a nanostructural surface was prepared on the Ti-6Al-4V substrate by an atmospheric plasma-spraying technique, and its microstructure and composition, as well as mechanical and biological properties, were investigated to explore potential application as a bioactive coating on bone implants. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron ...
