The industrial demand for increased component performance with concurrent reductions in component weight, development times and verifications using physical prototypes drives the need to use the full potential of casting and Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations to correctly predict the mechanical behavior of cast components in service. The mechanical behavior of the component is determined b...

Nano-sized BaTiO3 powders with particular Nb concentrations were prepared by Rotary- Hydrothermal (RH) method. Hydrothermal method was used at 180 °C for 5 hours with new Ti pressure and the teflon vessel was rotated at a speed of 160 rpm during the hydrothermal reaction. New hydrothermal method was used instead of previous solid state reaction for the system BaTiO3±Nb<sub...

In this study a solid dispersion and a physical mixture of cilazapril (CIL) with a biopolymer - polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a carrier were prepared so as to investigate the effect of PVP on the stability of CIL. CIL is unstable in solid state and decomposes rapidly under humid conditions. It requires stabilization to ensure safety of its use. The studied CIL/PVP formulations were prepared by ...

In this research, the effect of two process control agent: methanol (liquid state) and stearicacid (solid state) on mechanical alloying process of Ti and Al with equal at%(Ti50Al50) wereinvestigated. Phase transformation at presence of two PCA was: at first, powder mixture wastransformed to a metastable solid solution of Al in Ti lattice (disordered hcp) and then transformed toamorphous phase w...

Solid-state nanopore has captured the attention of many researchers due to its characteristic of nanoscale. Now, different fabrication methods have been reported, which can be summarized into two broad categories: "top-down" etching technology and "bottom-up" shrinkage technology. Ion track etching method, mask etching method chemical solution etching method, and high-energy particle etching an...

Recent work on protein nanopores indicates that single molecule characterization (including DNA sequencing) is possible when the length of the nanopore constriction is about a nanometer. Solid-state nanopores offer advantages in stability and tunability, but a scalable method for creating nanometer-thin solid-state pores has yet to be demonstrated. Here we demonstrate that solid-state nanopores...
