Using frequency modulation (FM) spectroscopy singlet methylene radicals have been detected for the first time behind shock waves. The thermal decomposition of ketene served as source for metylene radicals at temperatures from 1905 to 2780 K and pressures around 450 mbar. For the unimolecular decomposition reaction, (1) CHAs a first study of a methylene reaction at high temperatures by diretly tracing methylene the reaction of methylene with hydrogen, (8 + 9)log(A comparison with low temperature literature data and the systematics of activation energies of triplet methylene reactions allowed a consistent description of singlet and triplet contributions and of the forward and reverse reaction.

The technique of time resolved frequency modulation (FM) spectroscopy has been shown to provide a very sensitive means to detect small radicals behind shock waves. Features of high temperature FM spectroscopy behind shock waves will be discussed and a general signal conversion procedure to carry out quantitative concentration measurements will be presented.Using a high modulation frequency, a high modulation index and high total optical power, singlet methylene radicals (α

Apparatus for the mass spectrometric study of rapid gas reactions in reflected shock waves is described. This apparatus has been applied to the thermal decomposition of 2% N2O in Kr at total gas concentrations of about 1.6 × 10−6 mole cm−3, in the temperature range 1800 to 2800 °K. The principal products of the reaction were found to be N2, O2, NO, and O. The rate coefficient for the unimolecular decomposition of N2O was calculated from the experimental data, and the rates of the secondary reactions between O and N2O were estimated. The possibility of the occurrence of a "weak collision" mechanism in the unimolecular reaction of N2O is discussed.

Comparative studies of the structure and thermal behavior of cellulose and composite precursors with additives of silyl-substituted acetylene and alkoxysilanes were carried out. It is shown that the introduction of silicon-containing additives into the cellulose matrix influenced the thermal behavior of the composite fibers and the carbon yield after carbonization. Comparison of the activation energies of the thermal decomposition reaction renders it possible to determine the type of additive and its concentration, which reduces the energy necessary for pyrolysis. It is shown that the C/O ratio in the additive and the presence of the Si–C bond affected the activation energy and the temperature of the beginning and the end of the pyrolysis reaction.

The thermal decomposition of CH2N2, highly diluted in Kr, has been studied in shock waves by using time-of-flight mass spectrometry to follow concentration changes in the reacting gas. Observations were made at pressures 45 to 95 Torr and temperatures 820 to 1200°K. The principal products of reaction are C2H4, C2H2, and N2. The primary step appears to be a second order unimolecular decomposition of CH2N2 into CH2 and N2; for this step, log k = (9.61 ± 0.21) − (15 800 ± 1 000)/2.303RT(cal mole−1 and cm3 mole s units.) Some decomposition of CH2N2 into HCN and NH is also indicated. The formation of C2H2 is believed to occur through vibrationally excited C2H4, formed by reaction between CH2 and CH2N2. Calculations using the R.R.K.M. theory indicate that 50 + 10% of the energy of this reaction appears as vibrational energy of the product C2H4.

The objective of the present article is to study the influence of TiB2 addition on the transformation behavior of yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP). A range of TZP(Y)–TiB2 composites with different zirconia starting powder grades and TiB2 phase contents (up to 50 vol%) were processed by the hot-pressing route. Thermal expansion data, as obtained by thermo-mechanical analysis were used to assess the ZrO2 phase transformation in the composites. The thermal expansion hysteresis of the transformable ceramics provides information concerning the transformation behavior in the temperature range of the martensitic transformation and the low-temperature degradation. Furthermore, the transformation behavior and susceptibility to low-temperature degradation during thermal cycling were characterized in terms of the overall amount and distribution of the yttria stabilizer, zirconia grain size, possible dissolution of TiB2 phase, and the amount of residual stress generated in the Y-TZP matrix due to the addition of titanium diboride particles. For the first time, it is demonstrated in the present work that the thermally induced phase transformation of tetragonal zirconia in the Y-TZP composites can be controlled by the intentional addition of the monoclinic zirconia particles into the 3Y-TZP matrix.
