ABSTRACTPorous Polymer/ceramic films were processed via tape casting. Upon doping with luminescent molecules such as platinum(II) octaethylporphine and [Ru(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)3]C12, the films were used as pressure sensors, yielding a Stern-Volmer constant of A ranging from 0.02 to 0.61. These films also exhibited very fast response times (∼I ms). Tape cast films doped with Rhodamine B were used as temperature sensors under cryogenic conditions. The temperature sensitivity of the doped films increased with increasing Rhodamine B concentration.

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) particles with pure tetragonal structure were synthesized by solid-state reaction method and used for preparation of slurries with different solid contents (34-80 wt.%). Then, PZT thick films were fabricated by the nonaqueous tape casting method. It was shown that the slurry prepared from ball-milled particles exhibited better rheology properties than slurry from particles which were not ball-milled. Measurement of sedimentation volumes and zeta potentials indicated particle aggregation, resulting in weak stability of the slurries with high solid contents. The microstructure, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of PZT sintered films were investigated in terms of solid contents. Ceramic films prepared from the slurry with solid contents of 73 wt.% had the optimal structure and properties. After poling at 200 ?C with an applied field of 1.2 kV/cm, a d33 of 294 pC/N was achieved; typical ferroelectric properties were also observed with a Ps of 38 ?C/cm2.

Surface-modified BaTiO3 of 230[Formula: see text]nm average grain size were synthesized by coating BaTiO3 particles with 3[Formula: see text]wt.% Al2O3 and 1[Formula: see text]wt.% SiO2. Ceramic films of different thicknesses were prepared via tape casting and laminating processes followed by two-steps sintering method. After sintering, the average grain size of Surface-modified BaTiO3 ceramic slightly increased to 275[Formula: see text]nm, and great enhancement of AC breakdown strength (BDS) from 184[Formula: see text]kV/cm to 665[Formula: see text]kV/cm was obtained as the thickness of ceramic films decreased from 63[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m to 12[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m, resulting in improvement of discharge energy density from 1.14[Formula: see text]J/cm3to 4.06[Formula: see text]J/cm3. Because of their low-cost, easily fabrication, lead-free, improved AC BDS and discharge energy density, surface-modified BaTiO3 ceramic films appeared promising for applications in multilayer energy storage capacitors.

There is increasing interest in composites containing zirconia because of their high strength, fracture toughness, and its great influence on the chemical durability in glass. For the zirconia-silica system, monolithic glasses, fibers and coatings have been obtained. There is currently a great interest in designing zirconia-toughened alumina including exploration of the processing methods and the toughening mechanism.The possibility of forming nanocrystal composites by a phase separation method has been investigated in three systems: zirconia-alumina, zirconia-silica and zirconia-titania using HREM. The morphological observations initially suggest that the formation of nanocrystal composites by a phase separation method is possible in the zirconia-alumina and zirconia-silica systems, but impossible in the zirconia-titania system. The separation-produced grain size in silica-zirconia system is around 5 nm and is more uniform than that in the alumina-zirconia system in which the sizes of the small polyhedron grains are around 10 nm. In the titania-zirconia system, there is no obvious separation as was observed in die alumina-zirconia and silica-zirconia system.

The highly variable weather under changing climate conditions affects the establishment and the cutoff of crop growing season and exposes crops to failure if producers choose non-adapted relative maturity that matches the characteristics of the crop growing season. This study aimed to determine the relationship between maize hybrid relative maturity and the grain yield and determine the relative maturity range that will sustain maize production in northwest New Mexico (NM). Different relative maturity maize hybrids were grown at the Agricultural Science Center at Farmington ((Latitude 36.69° North, Longitude 108.31° West, elevation 1720 m) from 2003 to 2019 under sprinkler irrigation. A total of 343 hybrids were grouped as early and full season hybrids according to their relative maturity that ranged from 93 to 119 and 64 hybrids with unknown relative maturity. The crops were grown under optimal management condition with no stress of any kind. The results showed non-significant increase in grain yield in early season hybrids and non-significant decrease in grain yield with relative maturity in full season hybrids. The relative maturity range of 100–110 obtained reasonable high grain yields and could be considered under the northwestern New Mexico climatic conditions. However, more research should target the evaluation of different planting date coupled with plant population density to determine the planting window for the early season and full season hybrids for the production optimization and sustainability.
