Obtaining an accurate three-dimensional (3D) structure of a porous microstructure is important for assessing the material properties based on finite element analysis. While directly obtaining 3D images of the microstr...

A defect model for Sc 2 O 3 was developed using quantum mechanical modeling and evaluated under cathode operating conditions to determine the electronic properties of Sc 2 O 3 used in cathode experiments. We find that Sc 2 O 3 can conduct well enough with a sub-ppm impurity concentration such that the limiting step of emission is not conduction through bulk Sc 2 O 3 .
Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were synthesized by preparing an aqueous solution comprising 0.5M Ca(OH)2, 0.3M H3PO4 and 1M CH3CHCO2HOH (lactic acid) at pH of 3.7. KOH was added to the solution until pH=12 was reached, ...

Tensile tests were carried out for sputtered copper thin films. Thin films were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering. The target power of the sputtering equipment was set from 10 to 150 W to control the grain size. The grain size increased with increasing target power. The effect of grain size on the deformation behavior under tensile loading was investigated by X-ray method. The changes in the internal stress and the full width at half maximum were measured under tensile loading. The 0.2% proof stress decreased with grain size. For the full width at half maximum, the value was almost constant in the elastic region. When the plastic deformation occurred, the value increased rapidly with applied strain. For the specimen with fine grains, the value returned to the initial value in spite of after large plastic deformation. After tensile loading, many intergranular cracks could be observed on the specimen surface.

Aluminum/Tungsten granular composites are materials which combine high density and strength with bulk distributed fracture of Al matrix into small particles under impact or shock loading. They are processed using cold and hot isostatic pressing of W particles/rods in the matrix of Al powder. Numerical models were used to elucidate the dynamic behavior of these materials under dynamic conditions simulating low velocity high energy impact in drop weight test (10 m/s). It was demonstrated that arrangement of W components and bonding between Al particles dramatically affect the samples shear localization and mode of fracture of the Al matrix in agreement with experiments.

This paper presents flexible tactile sensors based on nanoimprinted sub-20 nm piezoelectric copolymer nanograss films. The performance of the sensors is significantly affected by surface morphology of sensing materials. In this abstract, we develop non-electrical poling for the developed PVDF-TrFE nanograss, which greatly improve the piezoelectric response, and apply the developed PVDF-TrFE nanograss films as flexible tactile sensors.
