The temperature dependence of the thermal stability in a NiCoCrAlY coating alloy was examined by experimental observation and thermodynamic modeling in the 400–1200 °C temperature range. The results indicated that the thermal stabilities of primary β–NiAl, β–NiAl/α–Cr eutectic, and γ–Ni were slightly temperature dependent, but those of γ′–Ni3Al, σ–(Cr,Co,Ni), and α–Cr were strongly temperature dependent in the annealed NiCoCrAlY specimens. The temperature dependence of the thermal stabilities among γ′–Ni3Al, σ–(Cr,Co,Ni), and α–Cr might be ascribed to the σ → α transformation at ∼1100 °C and the γ′ → γ transformation at ∼800 °C. Further, using Thermocalc associated with TTNi7 database, thermodynamic equilibria were calculated. The modeling results were compared with the experimental results and found to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental observations of β–NiAl, σ–(Cr,Co,Ni), and γ′–Ni3Al. Some deviations observed are discussed in the light of both limited availability of thermodynamic data and experimental problems.

Cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes of ethyl carbazate (ECZ), [Co(ECZ)3](NO3)2 and [Zn(ECZ)3] (NO3)2, were synthesized. Single crystals of these two compounds were grown from aqueous solutions using a slow evaporation method. Their structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Both of them are monoclinic with space group P21/n. The complexes are further characterized by element analysis and IR measurements. Their thermal stabilities are studied by using TG-DTG, DSC techniques. When heated to 350 °C, only metal oxide was left for both complexes.

AbstractTo understand antiwear phenomena in motor engines at the atomic level and provide evidence inselecting future ashless wear inhibitors, we studied the thermal stability of the self-assembled monolayer(SAM) model for dithiophosphate (DTP) and dithiocarbamate (DTC) molecules on the iron oxidesurface using molecular dynamics. The interactions for DTP, DTC and Fe2O3 are evaluated based on aforce field derived from fitting to ab initio quantum chemical calculations of dimethyl DTP (and DTC)and Fe(OH)2(H2O)2-DTP (DTC) clusters. MD simulations at constant-NPT are conducted to assesrelative thermal stabilities of the DTP and DTC with different pendant groups (n-propyl, i-propyl, npentyl.and i-pentyl). To investigate frictional process, we employ a steady state MD method, in whichone of the Fe2O3 slabs maintained at a constant linear velocity. We obtain the time averaged normaland frictional forces from the interatomic forces. Then, we calculated the friction coefficient at theinterface between SAMs of DTP and the confined lubricant, hexadecane, to assess the shear stability ofDTPs with different pendant groups.

AbstractThermal stabilities of GaAs/InGaP and InGaP/(In)GaAs interfaces are investigated using InGaP/(In)GaAs/InGaP single quantum wells. Annealing is performed at a temperature range between 600 and 900 °C for 10 min. Positions and the full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of photoluminescence (PL) peaks are almost identical to those of as-grown ones up to 800 °C. Blue shifts of PL peaks and increased widths of their FWHM observed after 900 °C annealing are suppressed by shortening the annealing time to 0.1 sec. Annealing at 900 ‘C for 0.1 sec is sufficient to activate Si ions implanted into (In)GaAs layers. As a result, these thermal stabilities are able to provide high reliability and high performance of InGaP/(In)GaAs heterostructure MESFET ICs.

Ribosomes from the obligately psychrophilic yeast, Candida gelida, are rendered completely non-functional after exposure to 40 C for 5 minutes. This heat-induced impairment of ribosomal function is characterized by a reduced capacity to bind charged sRNA and is accompanied by physical degradation. Ribosomes from the mesophilic yeast, Candida utilis, however, are functionally and physically unaffected when subjected to similar treatment. The dissimilar thermal stabilities may be attributed to marked differences in the ribonucleoproteins present in the two species.

AbstractDespite the intense efforts of the last decades to understand the thermal stability of proteins, the mechanisms responsible for its modulation still remain debated. In this investigation, we tackle this issue by showing how a multi-scale perspective can yield new insights. With the help of temperature-dependent statistical potentials, we analyzed some amino acid interactions at the molecular level, which are suggested to be relevant for the enhancement of thermal resistance. We then investigated the thermal stability at the protein level by quantifying its modification upon amino acid substitutions. Finally, a large scale analysis of protein stability - at the structurome level - contributed to the clarification of the relation between stability and natural evolution, thereby showing that the mutational profile of thermostable and mesostable proteins differ. Some final considerations on how the multi-scale approach could help unraveling the protein stability mechanisms are briefly discussed.

In this paper, graphene was introduced in the PVDF to improve the thermal stability of the pore structure, which is the key feature for the membrane applied for the thermo-osmotic energy conversion (TOEC) process. The PVDF/graphene composite membranes were characterized by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a water contact angle measurement, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It was found that the composite membranes exhibited improved surface hydrophobicity. Moreover, the pores in pure PVDF membrane would expand during the heat process while the existence of graphene in PVDF clearly suppressed the expansion, which implied better thermal stability of the pores in the composite membrane. According to the pore deformation time, the heat conductivities of the membranes were calculated and compared with each other. It confirmed that the composite membrane with higher graphene content exhibited enhanced heat conductivity. EIS can be used to monitor the temperature dependence of the pore structure in aqueous environments.

The effects of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the thermal stability of CNT/polymer nanocomposites are discussed using CNT/silicone composites as a model compound. Pristine CNTs can improve the thermal stability of polymer composites due to the high thermal stability of CNTs, their network structure and free radical scavenging capabilities. However, impurities such as metal catalyst residues and defects such as carboxylic acid functional groups in CNTs can lead to decreased thermal stability of CNT/silicone nanocomposites. Acid purification is an efficient way to remove metallic impurities and can enhance free radical scavenging capabilities. However, controlling the amount of oxidation is important to avoid acid catalyzed thermal degradation induced by carboxylic acid groups on CNT surfaces.
