The paper presents investigation results concerning the influence of the modification with nanoparticles of silica (of mean grain size 12 nm or 20 nm) or aluminium trioxide (20 nm) of the structure of epoxy coatings on their resistance to climatic factors and the action of erosive particles. Epoxy coatings aged in natural climatic conditions showed an erosive resistance decrease with ageing. The erosive resistance decrease was accompanied by a hardness decrease as well as surface roughness increase. The highest resistance to erosive wear after 3 years of ageing revealed coatings modified with aluminium trioxide nanoparticles, while the lowest one showed coatings modified with silica nanoparticles of 12 nm mean grain size. Nanocoatings modified with aluminium trioxide nanoparticles also had the highest resistance to ageing; which was proven by the lowest increase of Ra and Rz surface profile parameter values with time, as well as by a high surface hardness, which was higher than hardness of new unmodified coatings.

ABSTRACTArrays of closely spaced quasi-static indentation were made on specimens of polycrystalline α-Al2O3, mean grain size G=1.2, 3.8 and 14.1 μm. The critical indentation spacing to produce crack coalescence between indentations, and thus significant loss of material from the surface, was determined. These data are compared to results for low-impact-velocity wet erosive wear on the same materials; a good correspondence is found. The indentation data can be used to produce “wear maps”, which provide a guideline for predicting the low-impact-velocity erosive wear resistance of brittle materials.

The paper presents the results of erosive resistance investigation carried out on three-layer epoxy-polyurethane coating systems of different polyurethane top coat composition. Alumina nanoparticles with a grain size of 20 nm or silica nanoparticles with a grain size of 12 or 20 nm were applied for the top coat modification. Coating systems with top coats modified using silica nanoparticles with the grain size of 12 nm (nanocoatings) revealed the highest erosive resistance, whereas the lowest one was observed in the case of coating systems with unmodified top coats. Lower erosive wear intensity of nanocoatings follows on their relatively high hardness, as well as low surface roughness. Moreover, nanofillers contained in the top coat reduce the development of defects (pores, cracks) in its structure, increasing the erosive resistance of the coatings. Climatic ageing substantially influenced the formation of polyurethane coatings surface topography. Polyurethane coatings modified with nanofillers showed less change in their surface topography than did unmodified coatings. Therefore, the modification of polyurethane top coats with nanofillers decreases their surface susceptibility to destruction.

ABSTRACTMechanical milling provides a unique means of studying the influence of grain size and disorder on the magnetic properties of nanostructured alloys. This paper compares the role of milling in the nanostructure evolution of two ferromagnets – SmCo5 and GdAl2 – and the subsequent impact of nanostructure on magnetic properties and phase transitions. The ferromagnetic properties of SmCo5 are enhanced by short (< 2 hours) milling times, producing up to an eight-fold increase in coercivity and high remanence ratios. The coercivity increase is attributed to defect formation and strain. Additional milling increases the disorder and produces a mix of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions that form a magnetically glassy phase. GdAl2, which changes from ferromagnetic in its crystalline form to spin-glass-like in its amorphous form, is a model system for studying the dependence of magnetically glassy behavior on grain size and disorder. Nanostructured GdAl2 with a mean grain size of 8 nm shows a combination of ferromagnetic and magnetically glassy behavior, in contrast to previous studies of nanostructured GdAl2 with a grain size of 20 nm that show only spin-glass-like behavior.

ABSTRACTNanociystalline Z1O2 powders, prepared by plasma-chemical method, were sintered by microwave heating. The experimental results indicated that the thermal runaway and hot spot are two important obstacles to successful microwave sintering of nanocrystalline ZrO2. By controlling ratio of dielectric loss between sintered ZrO2 compact and adjacent thermal insulator, the ZrO2 compact with diameter larger than 30 mm could be microwave-heated rapidly and uniformly from room temperature to 1600 °C in 80 minutes, the mean grain size of ZrCh ( 96% T.D. sintered at 1500°C for 5 minutes) is lower than 20 nm determined by means of quantitative XRD and TEM. The change of ZrO2 grain size may be related to phase transformation (t→m).

A study was conducted to gain insight on actual sedimentological and biological effects associated with the construction of an oil Terminal designed to receive 500 000 d.w.t. tankers. Field investigations and subsequent laboratory analyses were organized to evaluate the nature and magnitude of environmental changes on benthic macrofauna, three years after the end of the construction. Sediments were found to decrease dramatically in medium grain size in area sheltered by the newly built breakwater. Increase of percentage of silt and clays (90 % against 20 %) was observed leeward of the jetty. The benthic fauna showed significant modifications. Although the same community (Pectinaria kareni Abra alba) recolonized the bottom after the dredging of up to 30 × 106 m3 of sediments, increase in abundance occured. Biomass remained at a constant level and decrease of diversity was observed. Considering the rate of siltation, and assuming a constant siltation rate equal to the rate observed from 1975 to 1978, a simple regressive model relating biomass to mean grain size of sediments has been developped. This model allowed the prediction of biomass and production of the two principal species for the period 1978 – 1981. Continuous siltation within the harbor leads to a maximum of biomass from years after the end of the construction, followed by a decrease of standing stock. This process may be explained by the respective tolerance of the two principal species to increase silt contant and also probably by the accumulation of organic matter which may impede the development of natural populations.

Solid acid catalyzed cracking of waste oil-derived fatty acids is an attractive route to hydrocarbon fuels. HZSM-5 is an effective acid catalyst for fatty acid cracking; however, its microporous nature is susceptible to rapid deactivation by coking. We report the synthesis and application of hierarchical HZSM-5 (h-HZSM-5) in which silanization of pre-crystallized zeolite seeds is employed to introduce mesoporosity during the aggregation of growing crystallites. The resulting h-HZSM-5 comprises a disordered array of fused 10–20 nm crystallites and mesopores with a mean diameter of 13 nm, which maintain the high surface area and acidity of a conventional HZSM-5. Mesopores increase the yield of diesel range hydrocarbons obtained from oleic acid deoxygenation from ~20% to 65%, attributed to improved acid site accessibility within the hierarchical network.

AbstractDense (Hf, Ta, Nb, Ti, V)C- and (Ta, Nb, Ti, V, W)C-based high-entropy carbides (HEC) were produced by three different sintering techniques: gas pressure sintering/sinter–HIP at 1900 °C and 100 bar Ar, vacuum sintering at 2250 °C and 0.001 bar as well as SPS/FAST at 2000 °C and 60 MPa pressure. The relative density varied from 97.9 to 100%, with SPS producing 100% dense samples with both compositions. Grain size measurements showed that the substitution of Hf with W leads to an increase in the mean grain size of 5–10 times the size of the (Hf, Ta, Nb, Ti, V,)C samples. Vacuum-sintered samples showed uniform grain size distribution regardless of composition. EDS mapping revealed the formation of a solid solution with no intermetallic phases or element clustering. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the structure of mostly single-phase cubic high-entropy carbides. Hardness measurements revealed that (Hf, Ta, Nb, Ti, V)C samples possess higher hardness values than (Ta, Nb, Ti, V, W)C samples.

Interlocking Particle Structures (IPS) are geometrically stable assemblies, usually fabricated from plate type elements that are interconnected by slotted joints. IPS are demountable and their components have the potential to be used and reused in different structures and configurations. This paper explores the applicability of birch plywood panels, which are characterized by a high surface hardness, for this type of structural system. Experimental tests were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of birch plywood plates. Moreover, IPS connections with different geometrical properties were investigated for two different load exposures: bending and rotation. The characteristics under bending exposure are influenced by the orientation of the face-veneers. For the rotational load exposure, very small strength and stiffness properties have been identified. A linear elastic finite element model is presented that shows a wide agreement with the test results. The study serves as an initial probe into the performance of IPS structures at the component level. Various aspects that are relevant for the design of IPS, such as the assembly, the accuracy and challenges regarding digital fabrication, the durability, and the structural performance are discussed.
