Role of preheating and specific energy input on the evolution of microstructure and wear properties of laser clad Fe-Cr-C-W alloys
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-07)
Synthesis of Fe-Cr-C-W alloy (10 : 4 : 1 : 1, wt(%)) was carried out on AISI 1016 steel substrate using laser cladding technique which lead to the development of a suitable alternate for cobalt bearing wear resistant alloys. ...
Similarities in the fracture surface features of borosilicate and polymer glasses
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall Ltd. ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-10)
Considerable similarity exists between the features on the fracture surfaces of a borosilicate glass and those on the fracture surfaces of polymer thermoset glasses like epoxies and vinyl esters. These features include the ...
A petrographic thin sectioning technique for evaluating composite materials
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall Ltd. ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-08)
Fuel Cell Membrane Electrode Assemblies Fabricated by Layer-by-Layer Electrostatic Self-Assembly Techniques We acknowledge the UM OVPR office for a faculty seed grant awarded to the first author. We also thank Professor Phillip Savage for generous use of lab space and equipment.
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2008-10-09)
High activity, carbon supported Pt electrocatalysts were synthesized using a supercritical fluid method and a selective heterogeneous nucleation reaction to disperse Pt onto single walled carbon nanotube and carbon fiber ...
Interactions of a liquid crystalline polymer with polycarbonate and poly(ethylene terephthalate)
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
Thermal behaviour of blends of a liquid crystalline copoly(ester amide) (Vectra B950) with two isotropic polymers has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry. One of the isotropic polymers is an amorphous polymer ...
Self-Assembly of Ordered Semiconductor Nanoholes by Ion Beam Sputtering

Basic longitudinal texture and fracturing process in thermoset polymers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1992-02)
The “basic longitudinal texture”, which is present everywhere on the fracture surfaces of glassy thermosets and is the finest texture observed on such surfaces, consists of low ridges and shallow grooves that are aligned ...
The importance of constraint relief caused by rubber cavitation in the toughening of epoxy
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-12)
Many rubber-toughened epoxies are thought to derive the bulk of their toughness through the processes of rubber cavitation and plastic shear-yielding in the epoxy matrix. Constraint relief has been considered to be a key ...
Ductility and toughenability study of epoxy resins under multiaxial stress states
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-07)
The local strains in unmodified and rubber-modified epoxies under multiaxial stress states were examined. Matrix ductility was varied by using epoxide resins of different epoxide monomer molecular weights. The stress state ...
Microstructural studies of interfacial deformation in painted thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs)
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-11)
The interfacial structure and deformation between chlorinated polyolefin (CPO) adhesion promoter and automotive TPO substrates have been characterized with optical, scanning electron, and transmission electron microscopy ...
