AbstractHigher gas path temperatures for greater aircraft engine thrust and efficiency will require both higher temperature gas turbine airfoil materials and optimization of internal cooling technology. Microlaminated composites consisting of very high temperature intermetallic compounds and ductile refractory metals offer a means of achieving higher temperature turbine airfoil capability without sacrificing low temperature fracture resistance. Physical vapor deposition, used to synthesize microlaminated composites, also offers a means of fabricating advanced turbine blade internal cooling designs. The low temperature fracture resistance of microlaminated Nb(Cr)-Cr2Nb microlaminated composites approached 20 MPa√m in fracture resistance curves, but the fine grain size of vapor deposited intermetallics indicates a need to develop creep resistant microstructures.

ZnO nanotetrapods were synthesized by a simple thermal evaporation of Zn powder at a relatively low temperature ∼600 °C. The tetrapods have four legs with hexagonal cross-section. Interpenetrating growth was observed in some of these nanotetrapods. Multipod ZnO nanoforms were produced at higher temperature. The optical characterizations such as optical absorbance, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy reveal excellent crystal qualities of these nanoforms. The field emission studies indicated that these nanoforms could be utilized in field emission based devices.

In this study, wool fabrics were treated with different concentration of chitosan sulfamic acid solution under using 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as a crosslinking agent. The structure of treated wool fabrics was investigated by SEM, DSC-TG. Treated wool fibers had a irregular surface appearance, showed the presence of amounts of Nano SiO2 and their aggregates deposited onto surface of wool fibers. The thermal properties were obviously enhanced. Treated wool fabrics is more stable in higher temperature than that of untreatment. Treated wool fabrics were dyed with weak acid red B, and dyeing behaviour were studied by means of by light reflectance measurements. The color strength (K/S value) of treated wool fabrics obviousily increased from 5.33 to 31.68 by comparison with the untreatment. As a result, it can be concluded that the chitosan sulfamic acid solution with GPTMS treatment could improve the weak acid red B low temperature dyeing on wool. Further, low temperature dyeing of wool fabrics with chitosan-sulfamic acid is safe, so the results obtained are quite promising as a basis for possible future industrial application.
