The electrical and physical properties of the electrically conductive super hard material on the basis of polycrystalline diamond and n-layered graphenes obtained at high pressures and temperatures were studied. It was established that the increase in graphene in a polycrystalline diamond compact leads to a sharp decrease in resistance. Wherein the hardness of the samples is slightly inferior to the hardness of diamond poly crystals obtained without the use of graphene.

The article provides an analysis of the properties of the working environment of submersible electrical equipment. The influence of the operating parameters of electrical equipment on the physical properties of the fluid (its electrically conductive properties) is considered. Mathematical confirmation of the implementation of electroosmosis in the capillaries of the insulation of submersible electric motors is given. The rationale for the active method of protecting submersible electrical equipment from reducing insulation resistance and preventing electrical breakdown is given.

SUMMARY Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical properties of current formulations of composite resins for polymerization shrinkage, surface hardness, and flexural strength. In addition, a comparison of Knoop and Vickers hardness tests was made to determine if there was a correlation in the precision between the two tests. Materials and Methods Four composite resin materials were used: Filtek LS (3M-ESPE), Aelite LS (Bisco), Kalore (GC America), and Empress Direct (Ivoclar). Ten samples of each composite (shade Vita A2) were used. Polymerization shrinkage was measured with the Kaman linometer using 2-mm-thick samples, cured for 40 seconds and measured with digital calipers for sample thickness. Surface microhardness samples were prepared (2-mm thick × 12-mm diameter) and sequentially polished using 600-grit silicone carbide paper, 9 μm and 1 μm diamond polishing solutions. After 24 hours of dry storage, Knoop (200 g load, 15 seconds dwell time) and Vickers (500 g load, 15 seconds dwell time) hardness tests were conducted. Flexural strength test samples (25 × 2 × 2 mm) were stored in 100% relative humidity and analyzed using a three-point bending test with an Instron Universal Testing Machine (Instron 5565, Instron Corp) applied at a crosshead speed of 0.75 ± 0.25 mm/min. Maximum load at fracture was recorded. One-way analysis of variance and Tukey multiple comparison tests were used to determine significant differences in physical properties among materials. Results Filtek LS had significantly lower shrinkage (0.45 [0.39] vol%). Aelite LS demonstrated the greatest Knoop surface hardness (114.55 [8.67] KHN), followed by Filtek LS, Kalore, and Empress Direct (36.59 [1.75] KHN). Vickers surface hardness was significantly greater for Aelite LS (126.88 [6.58] VH), followed by Filtek LS, Kalore, and Empress Direct (44.14 [1.02] VH). Flexural strength (MPa) was significantly higher for Aelite LS and Filtek LS (135.75 [17.35]; 129.42 [9.48]) than for Kalore and Empress Direct (86.84 [9.04]; 92.96 [9.27]). There is a strong correlation between results obtained using Knoop and Vickers hardness tests (r=0.99), although Vickers values were significantly greater for each material. Conclusion Results suggest that Aelite LS possesses superior hardness and flexural strength, while Filtek LS has significantly less shrinkage compared with the other composites tested.

This study was aimed to know the effect of B2O3(boria) addition on the phase composition and physical properties of zircon ceramics.The raw zircon powder used in the study was a purified natural zircon sand from Kereng Pangi, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The zircon ceramics were prepared by a solid state reaction method with variation of B2O3 addition of 3 wt%, 6 wt% and 9 wt% and sintered at 1300 °C for 5h. The phase composition, density and microstructure were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), densimeter and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), respectively. Vickers Hardness measurement was perfomed at the polished surface of the ceramics. Results showed that all samples contained pure zircon phase, i.e. there was no effect of B2O3 addition on the phase composition. In general, the density and hardness increased with increasing B2O3 addition, but addition up to 9 wt% is not optimum to achieve ultra-dense zircon ceramics. Furthermore, the SEM image also showed no significant difference in average grain size. The crystallite size has grown nearly eight times (325 nm) of its original powder. The Vickers hardness of the ceramics is not significantly influenced by the addition of boria. It appears that the boria failure to increase densification also results in the extent of contact between grains which then produces relatively large zircon grains.

The influence of magnetic impurities on the properties of In2Se3 and InSе layered crystals was studied. The results indicate the formation of substitutional solid solutions in the In2Se3<1 wt. % Mn>, InSe<0.5 wt. % Mn> single crystals. Temperature dependences of electroconductivity across (σ^С) and along (σ||С) the С crystallographic axis of doped crystals were measured in the range of 80–400 K. The values of energy barrier height between the crystal layers ΔЕδ were evaluated for In2Se3<Mn> and InSe<Mn>. It was established that InSe<Fe> crystals exhibit ferromagnetic properties.
