Fatigue and Damage Tolerance of Y-TZP Ceramics in Layered Biomechanical Systems

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
Yu Zhang, Antonia Pajares, Brian R. Lawn
The fatigue properties of fine-grain Y-TZP in cyclic flexural testing are studied. Comparative tests on a coarser-grain alumina provide a baseline control. A bilayer configuration with ceramic plates bonded to a compliant polymeric substrate and loaded

Lattice Dynamics in PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
S A. Prosandeev, Eric J. Cockayne, Benjamin P. Burton, S Kamba, J Petzelt, Yu Yuzyuk, R S. Katiyar, S B. Vakhrushev

Tribochemistry Between Water and Si 3 N 4 and SiC: Induction Time Analysis

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
Richard S. Gates, Stephen M. Hsu
Avanced ceramics are being considered as one of the potential materials for high temperature steam engines. Silicon nitride and silicon carbide have demonstrated in laboratory bench wear tests that under low loads and medium speed conditions, water is an

Structure of Polystyrene at the Interface With Various Liquids

September 4, 2004
Author(s)
Clayton S. Yang, P T. Wilson, Lee J. Richter
Vibrationally resonant sum frequency generation (VR-SFG) is used to determine the structure of the phenyl side groups of deuterated polystyrene at the liquid/solid interface for the nonsolvent liquids: hexane, methanol, ethanol, glycerol, and water. The

Transformation of Phase Size Distribution Into Scattering Intensity

September 1, 2004
Author(s)
Barry J. Bauer
A practical method of calculating the small angle scattering intensity (SAS) and the density correlation function (CF) from the phase size distribution (PSD) is presented for a sample with a two-phase morphology. The CF can be calculated in terms of joint

A Buckling-Based Metrology for Measuring the Elastic Moduli of Polymeric Thin Films

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
Christopher Stafford, Eva Simonyi, C Harrison, Kathryn Beers, Alamgir Karim, Eric J. Amis, Mark R. VanLandingham, H C. Kim, W Volksen, R D. Miller
As technology continues towards smaller, thinner and lighter devices, more stringent demands are placed on thin polymer films as diffusion barriers, dielectric coatings, electronic packaging and so on. Therefore, there is a growing need for testing

In-Situ Soft X-Ray Studies of CO Oxidation on the Pt(111) Surface

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
D J. Burnett, A T. Capitano, A M. Gabelnick, A L. Marsh, Daniel A. Fischer, J L. Gland
Temperature programmed and isothermal fluorescence yield measurements have been used to characterize carbon monoxide oxidation on the Pt(111) surface for oxygen pressures from 0.027 Pa to 2.7 Pa over the 200 to 600 K temperature range. Carbon monoxide

Phase Equilibria of Ba-R-Cu-O-F-OH for Coated-Conductor Applications (R=Lanthanides and Y)

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Lawrence P. Cook, Igor Levin, J Suh, Ron Feenstra, T J. Haugan, P. D. Barnes
Phase diagrams of the Ba 2RCu 3O 6+x (R=Nd, Sm, Gd, Y, and Er) superconductors, prepared under 0.1 % 0 2 at 810 C, reflect the trend of the lanthanide contraction. The single-phase regions of Ba 2-x(Nd 1+x-yR y) Cu 3O 6+z for R=Gd, Y and Yb, and Ba 2-x(R 1

Microstructure-Property Correlations in Industrial Thermal Barrier Coatings

July 1, 2004
Author(s)
A Kulkarni, A N. Goland, H Herman, Andrew J. Allen, J Ilavsky, Gabrielle G. Long, C A. Johnson, J A. Ruud
This paper describes the results from multidisciplinary characterization/scattering techniques employed for the quantitative characterization of industrial thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems used in advanced gas turbines. While past requirements for

Materials Design in the Performance of All-Ceramic Crowns

June 1, 2004
Author(s)
Brian R. Lawn, Antonia Pajares, Yu Zhang, Y N. Deng, M Polack, Isabel K. Lloyd, E D. Rekow, Victoria Thompson
Results from a systematic study of damage in material structures representing the basic elements of dental crowns are reported. Tests are made on model flat-layer specimens fabricated from various dental ceramic combinations bonded to dentin-like polymer

Shear-Induced Structure in Polymer-Clay Nanocomposite Solutions

June 1, 2004
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, H W. Kim, G Schmidt, Charles C. Han, Erik K. Hobbie
Abstract: The equilibrium structure and shear response of model polymer-clay nanocomposite gels are measured using X-ray scattering, light scattering, optical microscopy, and rheometry. The suspensions form physical gels via the bridging of neighboring
