Nanocatalytic particles of Gold (Au), Platinum (Pt), and Palladium (Pd) are highly reactive at room-temperature and can be used to generate heat in micro-scale devices for portable power generation. No pre-heating is required for light-off and high steady-state operating temperatures can be sustained with high density alcohol-air premixtures. Preliminary experiments conducted in our lab and those reported by Hu and co-workers at Oak Ridge National Lab have measured peak operating temperatures ∼ 300–500 degrees Celsius using near-stoichiometric methanol/air and ethanol/air premixtures at ambient initial temperature and atmospheric pressure. The effect of particle size, morphology, mass loading, and flow residence time are reported for different mixture stoichiometries. Temperature measurements and gas species analyses are also tabulated. Interestingly, smaller particles were observed to be less reactive than larger particles for the same mass loadings for select conditions. Materials characterization of the particles has also been conducted to characterize the specific surface area of the catalyst and evaluate the importance of particle sintering, morphology changes, and particle distribution.

Dielectric Characterization

The main objective of this paper is to study the dielectric behavior of a quaternary composite, made from a mixture of barium titanate (BT), manganese dioxide (MnO2) and calcium oxide (CaO) in the same epoxy resin matrix (RE) maintained at 70% by volume fraction, while those of the other constituents are variable and completing each other in a way to achieve the remaining proportion, i.e. 30%. Random mixtures are made at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure. A dielectric characterization of this mixture type was performed by time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) over a frequency wide band (DC–2 GHz). This has been carried out to illustrate the effect of two oxides (MnO2 and CaO) simultaneously at low frequency (500 MHz), in the presence of (BT), on the composite dielectric behavior. This has led consequently to make a comparison between the present acquired results and those of the ternary composite, where (MnO2) and (CaO) act separately. The results obtained so far in this study allowed us to check the validity of the modified Lichtenecker law (MLL)-based predictive model in the quaternary composite case. The interest of this study lies on applications of these materials in microelectronics circuits and absorber materials in telecommunication domain.

Polyelectrolyte Titration

This paper proposes a convenient route to oxidize the –CH2–OH groups in the water-soluble pullulan, using a new catalytic polymer-supported N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) immobilized on polystyrene. The protocol involves the presence of sodium hypochlorite and sodium bromide. The conversion is possible at room temperature, atmospheric pressure, and pH = 10. The characterization of both the catalysts and oxidized pullulan was done using NMR and FTIR methods. Using polyelectrolyte titration with end-point indication by means of a particle-charge detector (PCD), we were able to assess the degree of electrokinetic charge in all oxidized samples as a consequence of the conversion of the –CH2–OH group into –COOH moieties. The possibility of recovery and recycling of the polymer-supported NHPI catalyst was tested for up to four cycles, since the morphological analyses performed on the catalysts using SEM revealed no significant changes.

ABSTRACTThis work shows the electrochemical study of nickel (Ni) and TiC/Ni composite immersed in synthetic seawater. In order to characterize the corrosion process, polarization curves (PC) were carried out. All electrochemical measures were made under static conditions, room temperature, atmospheric pressure and 24 hours exposure time. An electrochemical cell with a typical three-electrode array was used. Effect of TiC as reinforcement into the Ni matrix was evaluated. According PC results, it is possible to point out that the corrosion rate (CR) of the TiC/Ni composite was higher than Ni corrosion rate. The obtained results indicate that the corrosion process of both materials is of mixed type, that is to say a process of transfer of load influenced by a mechanism of mass transfer. Observations through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that mechanism of corrosion was cells of differential aeration (difference of concentration of oxygen). The corrosion morphology was localized type (pits and crevice).

Superconducting Oxides

The identification of extraneous phases is important in understanding of high Tc superconducting oxides. The spectroscopic techniques commonly used in determining the origin of superconductivity (such as RAMAN, XPS, AES, and EXAFS) are surface-sensitive. Hence a grain boundary phase several nanometers thick could produce irrelevant spectroscopic results and cause erroneous conclusions. The intergranular phases present a major technological consideration for practical applications. In this communication we report the identification of a Cu2O grain boundary phase which forms during the sintering of YBa2Cu3O7-x (1:2:3 compound).Samples are prepared using a mixture of Y2O3. CuO, and BaO2 powders dispersed in ethanol for complete mixing. The pellets pressed at 20,000 psi are heated to 950°C at a rate of 5°C per min, held for 1 hr, and cooled at 1°C per min to room temperature. The samples show a Tc of 91K with a transition width of 2K. In order to prevent damage, a low temperature stage is used in milling to prepare thin foils which are then observed, using a liquid nitrogen holder, in a Philips 430T at 300 kV.

The epitaxial growth of III-V semiconductors on Si for integrated optoelectronic applications is currently of great interest. GaP, with a lattice constant close to that of Si, is an attractive buffer between Si and, for example, GaAsP. In spite of the good lattice match, the growth of device quality GaP on Si is not without difficulty. The formation of antiphase domains, the difficulty in cleaning the Si substrates prior to growth, and the poor layer morphology are some of the problems encountered. In this work, the structural perfection of GaP layers was investigated as a function of several process variables including growth rate and temperature, and Si substrate orientation. The GaP layers were grown in an atmospheric pressure metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) system using trimethylgallium and phosphine in H2. The Si substrates orientations used were (100), 2° off (100) towards (110), (111) and (211).
