Plasma and detonation gun coatings of ceramic and cermet materials have achieved widespread application throughout gas turbine engines, and their use continues to grow. The coatings are used in increasingly demanding environments, thus successful utilization requires a thorough understanding of their structure/property relationships and close control of the parameters of deposition. The areas of application within the engine can be roughly separated into low and high temperature regimes. At low temperature, impact/fretting wear, erosion resistance, gas path seals, and various seals and bearings are of concern. Each area requires one or more coating types to satisfy the specific requirements of a given engine. The most common coating types include tungsten carbide-cobalt, alumina, chromium carbide-nickel chromium, a new family of cobalt-base alloys with alumina or chromia dispersions, and magnesium zirconate or stabilized zirconia. The characteristics of major significance of these coatings and their applications will be discussed.

ABSTRACTThe description of three titanium oxo-clusters and their use as inorganic components of hybrid organic-inorganic materials are reported. The first approach consists to add titanium oxo-clusters, [Ti6O4(C6H5COO)8(OPrn)8], in an ORMOCER⊗ based hybrid medium. Nano-sized titanium oxo-clusters combined with the chemical nature of the components, allow the tuning of the optical properties, especially the refractive index. The second approach consists to associate functionalized titanium oxo-clusters to elaborate hybrid materials with perfectly defined inorganic domains. The more relevant example of titanium oxo-cluster to build hybrid networks from nano-building blocks is the oxo-cluster [Ti16O16(OEt)32]. Indeed, the nature and the number of functional groups at the surface of these metallic oxo-clusters can be tuned in order to generate cross-linking agents of organic polymers. The studies of the structure-property relationships of the resulting nanocomposites have been investigated. Finally the structure of a purely carboxylate oxo-clusters is briefly described. This new family of stable oxo-clusters opens the way for the production of original hybrid compounds.

Oriented overgrowth of polymer materials onto ionic crystals is well known and recently it was demonstrated that this epitaxial crystallisation can also occur in polymer/polymer systems, under certain conditions. The morphologies and the resulting physical properties of such systems will be presented, especially the influence of epitaxial interfaces on the adhesion of polymer laminates and the mechanical properties of epitaxially crystallized sandwiched layers.Materials used were polyethylene, PE, Lupolen 6021 DX (HDPE) and 1810 D (LDPE) from BASF AG; polypropylene, PP, (PPN) provided by Höchst AG and polybutene-1, PB-1, Vestolen BT from Chemische Werke Hüls. Thin oriented films were prepared according to the method of Petermann and Gohil, by winding up two different polymer films from two separately heated glass-plates simultaneously with the help of a motor driven cylinder. One double layer was used for TEM investigations, while about 1000 sandwiched layers were taken for mechanical tests.

A controversial topic in the study of structure-property relationships of toughened polymer systems is the internal cavitation of toughener particles resulting from damage on impact or tensile deformation.Detailed observations of the influence of morphological characteristics such as particle size distribution on deformation mechanisms such as shear yield and cavitation could provide valuable guidance for selection of processing conditions, but TEM observation of damaged zones presents some experimental difficulties.Previously published TEM images of impact fractured toughened nylon show holes but contrast between matrix and toughener is lacking; other systems investigated have clearly shown cavitated impact modifier particles. In rubber toughened nylon, the physical characteristics of cavitated material differ from undamaged material to the extent that sectioning of heavily damaged regions by cryoultramicrotomy with a diamond knife results in sections of greater than optimum thickness (Figure 1). The detailed morphology is obscured despite selective staining of the rubber phase using the ruthenium trichloride route to ruthenium tetroxide.

Driving rapid polymerizations with visible to near-infrared (NIR) light will enable nascent technologies in the emerging fields of bio- and composite-printing. However, current photopolymerization strategies are limited by long reaction times, high light intensities, and/or large catalyst loadings. Improving efficiency remains elusive without a comprehensive, mechanistic evaluation of photocatalysis to better understand how composition relates to polymerization metrics. With this objective in mind, a series of methine- and aza-bridged boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derivatives were synthesized and systematically characterized to elucidate key structure-property relationships that facilitate efficient photopolymerization driven by visible to NIR light. For both BODIPY scaffolds, halogenation was shown as a general method to increase polymerization rate, quantitatively characterized using a custom real-time infrared spectroscopy setup. Furthermore, a combination of steady-state emission quenching experiments, electronic structure calculations, and ultrafast transient absorption revealed that efficient intersystem crossing to the lowest excited triplet state upon halogenation was a key mechanistic step to achieving rapid photopolymerization reactions. Unprecedented polymerization rates were achieved with extremely low light intensities (< 1 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>) and catalyst loadings (< 50 μM), exemplified by reaction completion within 60 seconds of irradiation using green, red, and NIR light-emitting diodes.

Camptothecin (CPT), obtained from Camptotheca acuminata (Nyssaceae), is a quinoline type of alkaloid. Apart from various traditional uses, it is mainly used as a potential cytotoxic agent acting against a variety of cancer cell lines. Though searches have been continued for last six decades, still it is a demanding task to design potent and cytotoxic CPTs. Different CPT analogs are synthesized to enhance the cytotoxic potential as well as to increase the pharmacokinetic properties of these analogs. Some of these analogs were proven to be clinically effective in different cancer cell lines. In this article, different CPT analogs have been highlighted extensively to get a detail insight about the structure-property relationships as well as different quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) modeling of these analogs are also discussed. This study may be beneficial for designing newer CPT analogs in future.
