Effect of acid-treatment and colloidal-processing conditions on the room temperature mechanical and electrical properties of 3YTZP/MWNT ceramic nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2017)
Different colloidal powder processing routines have been used to prepare composites of 3 mol% Y2O3 -ZrO2 (tetragonal zirconia polycrystals, 3YTZP) with 2.5 vol% multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) with the aim of achieving ...

High Temperature Compressive Strength and Creep Behavior of Si-Ti-C-O Fiber-Bonded Ceramics
(Elsevier, 2017)
Fiber bonded silicon carbide ceramic materials provide cost-advantage over traditional ceramic matrix composites and require fewer processing steps. Despite their interest in extreme environment thermostructural applications ...

Tunable magnetocaloric effect around room temperature by Fe doping in Mn0.98Cr(0.02-x)FexAs compound
(Elsevier, 2017)
In this work, we present an investigation of the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Mn0.98Cr(0.02-x)FexAs compounds with x = 0.002, 0.005 and 0.010. Our findings show that as Fe content increases the unit cell volume ...

Mechanochemistry of copper sulphides: phase interchanges during milling
(Springer Nature, 2017)
Covellite, CuS and chalcocite, Cu2S nanoparticles prepared in the explosive manner from elemental precursors were further ball-milled in order to observe additional changes caused by mechanical action. Three phases of ...

Nanostructuring as a procedure to control the field dependence of the magnetocaloric effect
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
In this work, the field dependence of the magnetocaloric effect of Gd bulk samples has been enhanced through nanostructuring of the material. Nanostructuring consists in multilayers preparation by alternative rf-sputter ...

Precision and accuracy of stress measurement with a portable X-ray machine using an area detector
(International Union of Crystallography, 2017-02)
The use of portable X-ray stress analyzers, which utilize an area detector along with the newly adopted 'cosα' or full-ring fitting method, has recently attracted increasing interest. In laboratory conditions, these ...

Grinding and particle size selection as a procedure to enhance the magnetocaloric response of La( Fe, Si)(13) bulk samples
(Elsevier, 2017-05)
The magnetocaloric effect of La(Fe,Si)13 samples deteriorates with the presence of secondary phases. However, it is highly challenging to produce single phase samples by conventional procedures and purification requires ...

Absorption capacity, kinetics and mechanical behaviour in dry and wet states of hydrophobic DEDMS/TEOS-based silica aerogels
(Springer Nature, 2017)
This work is a new approach to the study of the structural, mechanical and absorption properties of hybrid organic/inorganic silica-based aerogels. Diethoxydimethylsilane and tetraethoxysilane have been used as precursors. ...

New method for carbon dioxide mineralization based on phosphogypsum and aluminium-rich industrial wastes resulting in valuable carbonated by-products
(Elsevier, 2017)
A new carbon mineralization method was designed based on a sequestration agent synthesised exclusively from industrial wastes. Phosphogypsum waste from the fertiliser industry was dissolved into caustic aqueous waste from ...

Dense graphene nanoplatelet/yttria tetragonal zirconia composites: Processing, hardness and electrical conductivity
(Elsevier, 2017)
Yttria tetragonal zirconia ceramic composites with 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 vol% nominal contents of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were fabricated and characterized. First, the GNP dispersion in isopropanol was optimized to ...
