Viscoelasticity is studied extensively in polymers and polymer-based composites-but hardly in ceramics. We have studied viscoelastic behavior of three ceramics as manifested in scratching tests: 98 weight % B4C + 2% hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), 92% B4C and 8% h-BN, 91% B4C + 5% CrSi2 + 2% h-BN. Clear viscoelastic recovery (the groove depth becoming shallower within 2 minutes) is seen in all three materials, the recovery in each case of at least 90%. Taking into account viscoelasticity and introducing appropriate additives, one could significantly improve the scratch resistance of the boron carbides, and possibly of other hard ceramics as well.

Interaction of guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) with 4-dicyanomethylene-2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran (DDP) dye were investigated by photophysical and electrochemical techniques. An enhancement in the fluorescence intensity and formation of an isosbestic point revels that the ground state and excited state properties of DDP dye. The nature of interaction between DDP dye and GuHCl is predominantly through hydrogen-bonding even thoughelectrostatic interaction in aqueous phase operate. The existence of electrostatic interaction by current response function describes that the shift in anodic peak potential towards less positive value indicate electrostatic binding. The existence of more than one microenvironment of DDP dye in aqueous phase is elucidated by Electrochemical Impedence Spectroscopy (EIS) studies through Nyquist plots. These plots signify that there exist at least three different micro environments or dye existing in different fluorescence lifetimes with varying of amplitude. Fluorescence spectral techniques along with electrochemical studies are used as efficient tools to elucidate the nature of interaction of a water soluble probe with hydrogen-bonding solutes is elucidated in our study.

This paper presents the results of experimental studies for the luminescence spectral intensity redistribution of opal photonic crystals containing various active dielectrics - Bi12SiO20, opal - Bi2TeO5 and opal - NaBi(MoO4)2 matrix nanocomposites and filled with europium C6H9EuO6 x H2O salt. Ultraviolet excitation was provided by semiconductor laser operating at wavelengths of 400nm and 100 mW average power. An increase in the integral luminescence intensity of the matrix composite opal - Bi12SiO20: Eu3+ was found. The possibility of the participation of bismuth ions as a co-activator and luminescence concentrator also is analyzed. It has been proposed to use opal-Bi12SiO20 nanocomposite filled with europium as a potentially attractive material to improving the solar cell efficiency.

In the present study, the physical and mechanical strength of cement stabilized earth block reinforced with treated and untreated pineapple leaf fibre (T-PALF, N-PALF) have been studied. Three types of blocks were casted, firstly the block of dimensions 290*140*120mm were casted and these block were casted for abrasion test, secondly the cube blocks of dimensions 150*150*150mm were made and they were casted for water absorption and density test; thirdly were casted cylinder block of dimensions 200*100mm for Splitting tensile strength. It was found that, the water absorption of the blocks increase with increase of fibre content, the density decrease with fibre content. The fibre have increased the abrasion resistance and tensile strength of the blocks up to 3% of fibre content afterward it decreased. It was also observed that, the T-PALF had significantly improved the properties of the blocks comparing to those reinforced with N-PALF.

In this research, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis was conducted on the produced antimony modified carbidic austempered ductile iron for agricultural implement production. Six different alloys of carbidic austempered ductile iron with varying micro quantities of antimony elements were produced. The produced alloys were heated to austenitic temperature of 910oC, held at this temperature for 1 hour, finally subjected to austempering temperatures of 300°C and 325°C for periods of 1-3 hours. The SEM in conjunction with XRD and EDS was used for the analysis. Microstructural phase morphology, phase constituents and phase compositions were viewed with SEM, XRD and EDS respectively. The results show that various phases such as spiky graphite, blocky carbides, granular carbide, pearlite and ausferrite matrix. The XRD pattern revealed some compounds such as (Fe, Cr)3C, (primary carbide), Cr6C23 (few secondary carbide), (NiFe2O4), chromite (FeCr2O4), Cr7C3 (few eutectic carbide) and Cr3Ni2. In conclusion, it was observed in terms of morphology that chunky graphite, blocky carbide and pearlite phases were present in the cast carbidic ductile iron (CDI) without antimony addition. The CDI with varying quantities of antimony additions shows spiky graphite, granular carbides and pearlite matrix. After the samples were subjected to austempering processes, all the phases were found to be intact except the pearlite phase that transformed to ausferrite phase. The antimony element in the alloys was seen to promote the formation of pearlite phase intensively. The hardness of the samples increases as the antimony addition increases from 0.096wt.% to 0.288wt.% owing to the increase in pearlite phase, while the impact toughness reaches relatively high level, when 0.288wt.% antimony was added, probably due to the refinement of graphite nodules. All the results obtained showed that appropriate content of antimony addition plays an important role in increasing the nucleation rate of graphite nodules, and also lead to improvement in carbide formation thereby providing good balance between wear and impact properties.

This paper presents the microstructure and the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline AA2219 processed by multi axial forging (MAF) at ambient and cryogenic temperatures. The X-ray diffraction pattern and transmission electron microscopy micrographs in the initial microstructure characterization indicate a more effective severe plastic deformation during the cryogenic MAF than the same process conducted at room temperature. MAF at cryogenic temperature results in crystallite size reduction to nanoscales as well as second phase particles breakage to finer particles which are the crucial factors to increasing the mechanical properties of the material. Fractography analysis and tensile tests results show that cryogenic forging does not only increase the mechanical strength and toughness of the alloys significantly, but also improves the ductility of the material in comparison with the conventional forging. In this comparative regard, cryogenic processing provides 44% increase in the tensile strength of the material only after 2 forging cycles when compared to the room temperature process. In addition, further forging process to the next cycles slightly enhances the tensile strength at the expense of ductility due to less ability of the dislocations to accumulate. However, the ductility of the ambient temperature forged samples decreases at a faster rate than that of cryoforged samples.

A new technology is suggested for crystallizing arbitrary materials at temperatures of 3000-4000ºC and pressures of 20-100 thousand atmospheres. First experimental results were obtained in a foil-coated polycarbonate that comprised diffraction gratings. It was established that a laser beam reflected from the diffraction gratings is self-focused inside polycarbonate and becomes a seed, which changes the polycarbonate structure and leads to vitrification and growth of ordered structures from symmetrically arranged whiskers. This results in a light dispersion effect in composites. The results concerning whiskers formed with sharp tips are presented. We used data obtained in these experiments for developing a model of crystallization with the rates of 80-100 m/s. In this case, not only crystals grow, but nanowhiskers also. A new phenomenon of nanowhiskerography was discovered, which can be used for developing the defence against falsification that cannot be reproduced by polygraphic methods. A fundamental data, obtained in this article is allowed us to use technology for crystallisation any materials (glass, quartz, semiconductors, whisker graphite). The term “coherent nanowhiskerography” - is introduced for the first time by us, because the whisker crystallization occurs with a delay in reflection from two diffraction gratings, which are situated at the different depths. Thus, each whisker repeats in structure a retarded whisker during the crystalization. Due to this, unique optical and electrophysical properties arise. Since at the ends of whiskers there is only 1-2 atoms with dangling chemical bonds, therefore, the technology is extremely promising for the new direction of creating a new direction of terahertz technology and also up to date generations of the computing technology.

Aim: To assess the photo-acoustic techniques for the calculation of size, distribution, shape and phase of silver nanoparticles. Methodology: The silver nanoparticles were synthesized by sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and silver nitrate (AgNO3). Nine samples were prepared with varying concentrations and the changes in their properties were studied. Results: The shape of the silver nanoparticles was found to be spherical in shape. The average size of the silver nanoparticles was calculated to be 4-27nm. The results suggested that the particle size was decreasing with increase in the concentration of the silver nanoparticles. The strongest peak was obtained at 392nm which corresponds to the concentration C1. The absorption peak was found to be shifting towards the longer waves with the decrease in concentration. The XRD analysis revealed that the silver nanoparticles corresponding to all concentrations possessed crystal cubic structure. Conclusion: The silver nanoparticles were being extensively used in various applications due to their unique physical properties.
