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 ...

Nanostructural studies of PVD TiAlB coatings
(2006)TiAlB coatings with different compositions were deposited by co-sputtering from TiAl and TiB2 targets onto AISI316 stainless steel substrates at a temperature of 170 °C. The stoichiometry and nanostructure have been studied ...

Reversible hydrogels from amphiphilic polyelectrolyte model multiblock copolymers: The importance of macromolecular topology
(2010)The association ability of model amphiphilic polyelectrolytes with multi-block architecture, i.e. ABA, BABAB, ABABABA and BABABABAB (A hydrophobic, B polyelectrolyte block) was studied in aqueous media. The gelation ...

Room temperature synthesis and high temperature frictional study of silver vanadate nanorods
(2010)We report the room temperature (RT) synthesis of silver vanadate nanorods (consisting of mainly β-AgVO3) by a simple wet chemical route and their frictional study at high temperatures (HT). The sudden mixing of ammonium ...

Stabilization of lead sulfide nanoparticles by polyamines in aqueous solutions. A structural study of the dispersions
(2010)Lead sulfide (PbS) nanoparticles have been synthesized in aqueous solutions by a reaction between inorganic lead salts and sodium sulfide and stabilized using the cationic polyelectrolytes branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI), ...

Styrene-vinyl pyridine diblock copolymers: Achieving high molecular weights by the combination of anionic and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerizations
(2013)Anionic and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerizations were combined for the preparation of high molecular weight (MW) amphiphilic diblock copolymers based on the hydrophobic styrene (Sty) and ...

Thermoelectric properties of nanocrystalline PbTe synthesized by mechanical alloying
(2010)In this work, nanocrystalline lead telluride powder was synthesized from high-purity elements by mechanical alloying by means of a planetary ball-milling procedure. The milling medium was tungsten carbide, and the diameter ...
