Further development of modern technologies of diamond processing is connected with application in the diamond tool of powders with new unique properties, special morphology of grains, with the increased chemical and thermal stability. To increase the heat resistance of diamonds, they are covered with a metal (metallization) or glass-ceramic layer, or introduced into the reaction mixture used in the synthesis of diamonds, alloying additives of certain elements. Recently, other methods of coating to increase the heat resistance of diamonds have been developed, such as: vacuum ion-plasma sputtering, epitaxial synthesis, magnetron sputtering, the method of liquid-phase deposition. The latter method is promising for modifying the grain surface of grinding powders of superhard materials by heat-resistant inorganic non-metallic coatings, as it is the most economically advantageous. Determining the features of the technology of modification by the method of liquid-phase application of heat-resistant inorganic coatings (oxides and chlorides of metals and nonmetals) on the surface of grains of grinding powders of synthetic diamond brand AC6, used for grinding tools in mechanical engineering. Modification was performed by the isothermal method of liquid-phase application of saturated solutions of both heat-resistant oxides (В2О3, Al2O3), chlorides (СаСl2, NaCl, MgCl2, FeCl3), and their mixtures (В2О3+СаСl2, В2О3+NaCl). Based on the analysis of the results of the research, it can be stated that the application of coatings of inorganic substances (some oxides and chlorides) increases the heat resistance of synthetic diamond grinding powders. Modification allows to reduce expenses of diamonds in wheels at grinding. Conditions for modification of heat-resistant oxides and chlorides, as well as their mixtures, grain surface of synthetic diamond grinding powders are determined. Modification of the surface of diamond grains with a combination of B2O3+Al2O3 is guaranteed to double the wear resistance of diamond wheels. It is established that in all cases of modification the roughness of the parameter Ra decreases. It is determined that by changing the surface modifier of diamond grains it is possible to affect the bearing capacity of the rough surface obtained by grinding. The development of effective ways to increase the heat resistance of grinding powders made of superhard materials, primarily abrasive grinding powders made of synthetic diamond powders, helps to improve the quality of the grinding tool.

Bacterial endospores (spores) are among the most resistant living forms on earth. Spores of Bacillus subtilis A163 show extremely high resistance to wet heat compared to spores of laboratory strains. In this study, we found that spores of B. subtilis A163 were indeed very wet heat resistant and released dipicolinic acid (DPA) very slowly during heat treatment. We also determined the proteome of vegetative cells and spores of B. subtilis A163 and the differences in these proteomes from those of the laboratory strain PY79, spores of which are much less heat resistant. This proteomic characterization identified 2011 proteins in spores and 1901 proteins in vegetative cells of B. subtilis A163. Surprisingly, spore morphogenic protein SpoVM had no homologs in B. subtilis A163. Comparing protein expression between these two strains uncovered 108 proteins that were differentially present in spores and 93 proteins differentially present in cells. In addition, five of the seven proteins on an operon in strain A163, which is thought to be primarily responsible for this strain’s spores high heat resistance, were also identified. These findings reveal proteomic differences of the two strains exhibiting different resistance to heat and form a basis for further mechanistic analysis of the high heat resistance of B. subtilis A163 spores.

Currently, polymeric insulation materials are widely used for energy saving in buildings. Despite of all benefits, these materials are generally sensitive to heat and highly flammable. This work discusses possibility to improve heat resistance of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam using thin silicon dioxide (SiO2) films deposited by magnetron sputtering technique. In order to increase surface energy and adherence of SiO2 thin films to substrate EPS was plasma pretreated before films’ depositions using pulsed DC plasma generator for 40 s in argon gas. SiO2 formation was done in reactive argon and oxygen gas atmosphere. Laboratory made equipment was used for flame torch–induced heat resistance experiments. Results showed that silicon oxide films remains stable during heat resistance experiments up to 5 s and fully protects polystyrene (PS) substrate. Films are relatively stable for 30 s and 60 s and partially protect PS from melting and ignition. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed that SiO2 layer, which is distributed uniformly on the EPS surface, could work as a good heat resistant material.

Abstract The MBTS-N-(morpholinothio)phthalimide vulcanization system has been found to be effective in producing heat resistant semi-EV and EV cures in a variety of representative rubbers. When used as a direct replacement on a molar basis for 2-(morpholinodithio)benzothiazole (MDB), improvements in processing safety were found in all cases studied. In this respect it is most effective in NR, SBR, and NBR. The experimental system also generally gave slower-curing stocks. The heat resistance of the experimental stocks was found to be equal to or better than that of the MDB control stocks. Substantial improvements in heat resistance for both SBR and IIR unexpectedly resulted from the use of the MBTS—imide system. This result suggests that the nature of the crosslinks formed by the two vulcanization systems are to some extent different in these two elastomers. This, in turn, may reflect upon the mechanisms of crosslink formation.

Three Escherichia coli cultures (0111:B4, 0127:B8 and NP) were selected to study their heat-resistant characteristics when in cow skim, cow whole and buffalo whole milk. The temperatures of heat-treatment included in this study were 50, 55, 60 and 63 C. The time interval during heat-treatment was 10 min at 50 and 55 C and 5 min at 60 and 63 C. Marked differences in heat-resistance were observed in the three E. coli cultures. The z-values obtained for strain 0111:B4 were 8.3, 9.0 and 10.2 when tested in cow skim milk, cow whole milk and buffalo milk, respectively. The z-values for 0127:B8 and NP were 17.5, 18.0 and 19.2 and 18.8, 19.0 and 20.3, respectively, for the three types of milk.

Up to now, many types of inorganic fibers have been developed. The main purpose is to develop composite materials with lightweight and high fracture toughness. Of these, carbon fiber has already established a very big market. By the way, representative oxide fibers (alumina/silica-based fibers) show heat-resistance’s limitation at around 1200°C. In order to improve the heat-resistance, some types of eutectic oxide-fibers have been studied. On the other hand, SiC fibers with both heat-resistance and oxidation-resistance were developed over 30 years ago. After that, lots of improvements have been performed, and finally several types of excellent heat-resistant SiC-polycrystalline fibers, which can be used up to about 1800°C, were developed from polycarbosilane. Using these fibers, lots of applications have been considered in the fields of aerospace, nuclear system, and so on. Furthermore, making the best use of the aforementioned production process, several types of functional ceramic fibers with gradient-like functional surface layers also have been developed. In this paper, of these inorganic fibers, heat-resistant SiC fibers will be addressed along with historical view point on ceramic fibers.

ABSTRACTClostridium perfringenstype C strains are the only non-type-A isolates that cause human disease. They are responsible for enteritis necroticans, which was termed Darmbrand when occurring in post-World War II Germany. Darmbrand strains were initially classified as type F because of their exceptional heat resistance but later identified as type C strains. Since only limited information exists regarding Darmbrand strains, this study genetically and phenotypically characterized seven 1940s era Darmbrand-associated strains. Results obtained indicated the following. (i) Five of these Darmbrand isolates belong to type C, carry beta-toxin (cpb) and enterotoxin (cpe) genes on large plasmids, and express both beta-toxin and enterotoxin. The other two isolates arecpe-negative type A. (ii) All seven isolates produce highly heat-resistant spores withD100values (the time that a culture must be kept at 100°C to reduce its viability by 90%) of 7 to 40 min. (iii) All of the isolates surveyed produce the same variant small acid-soluble protein 4 (Ssp4) made by type A food poisoning isolates with a chromosomalcpegene that also produce extremely heat-resistant spores. (iv) The Darmbrand isolates share a genetic background with type A chromosomal-cpe-bearing isolates. Finally, it was shown that both thecpeandcpbgenes can be mobilized in Darmbrand isolates. These results suggest thatC. perfringenstype A and C strains that cause human food-borne illness share a spore heat resistance mechanism that likely favors their survival in temperature-abused food. They also suggest possible evolutionary relationships between Darmbrand strains and type A strains carrying a chromosomalcpegene.
