Microspheres made of glass, polymer, or crystal material have been largely used in many application areas, extending from paints to lubricants, to cosmetics, biomedicine, optics and photonics, just to mention a few. Here the focus is on the applications of glassy microspheres in the field of energy, namely covering issues related to their use in solar cells, in hydrogen storage, in nuclear fusion, but also as high-temperature insulators or proppants for shale oil and gas recovery. An overview is provided of the fabrication techniques of bulk and hollow microspheres, as well as of the excellent results made possible by the peculiar properties of microspheres. Considerations about their commercial relevance are also added.

High Temperature Alloys

Many modern industrial processes require high-temperature alloys with superior environmental resistance and high-temperature mechanical properties. This paper describes a recently developed Fe-Ni-Cr-Nb-N alloy (HAYNES® HR-120® alloy) which is being used in several modern high-temperature industries. This alloy utilizes niobium (columbium) nitride and carbide strengthening mechanisms for its excellent tensile and creep-rupture strength characteristics. These properties are significantly higher than those of regular Fe-Ni-Cr alloys and some Ni-base alloys. The alloy also exhibits excellent resistance to oxidation and sulfidation needed for applications in many of these industrial processes. This alloy is increasingly being used in the petroleum refinery, waste incineration, oil and gas recovery, heat treating and land base gas turbine industries. Major properties, alloy characterization and industrial applications for this alloy are reviewed in this paper.

Energy policies in the US and in the EU during the last decades have been focused on enhanced oil and gas recovery, including the so-called tertiary extraction or enhanced oil recovery (EOR), on one hand, and the development and implementation of renewable energy vectors, on the other, including biofuels as bioethanol (mainly in US and Brazil) and biodiesel (mainly in the EU) [...]
