ABA triblock copolymer-based model networks in the bulk: Effect of the number of arms on microphase behavior
(2005)The microphase separation behavior in the strong segregation limit of model networks based on cross-linked ABA triblock copolymers in the bulk was investigated by calculating analytically the Gibbs free energies of the ...

The effect of boron additions on the tribological behaviour of TiN coatings produced by electron-beam evaporative PVD
(1999)TiN coatings containing small amounts of boron were synthesized by electron beam evaporating a Ti-B alloy material from a single crucible source into a plasma comprising Ar or an Ar/N2 mixture at a substrate temperature ...

Electron spectroscopic studies of nanocomposite PVD TiAlBN coatings
(2002)A range of TiAlBN coatings have been deposited by electron beam evaporation and the optimised composition exhibits a 150% improvement over single phase TiAlN coatings in drilling tests. The coatings have been analysed by ...

Evaluating the microstructure and performance of nanocomposite PVD TiAlBN coatings
(2002)Physical vapour deposition (PVD) TiAlBN coatings can exhibit excellent wear resistance, with optimised coating compositions demonstrating a 150% increase in lifetime compared to standard TiAlN coatings in wet-cutting drill ...

Microphase separation in ABA triblock copolymer-based model conetworks in the bulk: Effect of loop formation
(2006)This work estimates the free energy and domain size and predicts the phase diagram of microphase-separated model polymer conetworks, consisting of end-linked ABA triblock copolymers with cross-link points of relatively low ...

Microphase separation under constraints: A molecular thermodynamic theory for polyelectrolytic amphiphilic model networks in water
(2004)The aqueous aggregation behavior of covalent model networks comprising amphiphilic ABA triblock copolymers with hydrophilic ionic mid-blocks and hydrophobic non-ionic end-blocks was studied by formulating a molecular ...

The nanostructure, wear and corrosion performance of arc-evaporated CrBxNy nanocomposite coatings
(2009)The composition, nanostructure, tribological and corrosion behaviour of reactive arc evaporated CrBxNy coatings have been studied and compared to CrN. The CrBxNy coatings were deposited on a commercial Oerlikon Balzers RCS ...
