In order to provide accurate and semi-real-time information about performances and conditions of various civil engineering structures thick-film resistors are often being used as strain sensors. For that purpose, Ba2Ru2O7 thick resistive films based on compositions with sheet resistivities of 1 kOhm/sq, 10 kOhm/sq and 100 kOhm/sq were evaluated. Resistors were fired at three different peak temperatures (825oC, 850oC and 875oC) and with three different dwelling times (5 min, 10 min and 15 min) in order to correlate influence of firing variables and thick resistive film strain sensitivity by tracking structure-related changes in resistance, gage factor and noise index values. For 10 kOhm/sq composition values of resistance change vs. temperature and temperature coefficient of resistance were measured and calculated.

Anorthite ceramics was fabricated from calcium exchanged Na-LTA zeolite. The powder compacts of Ca-LTA zeolite were sintered at different temperatures ranging between 1100 and 1400?C. It was found that the temperature of 1100?C was sufficiently high to trigger formation of anorthite which stayed stable even at temperature as high as 1400?C. The highest relative density and the lowest open porosity were measured in samples sintered at 1200?C for 3 h. The effect of milling time of Ca-LTA zeolite precursor on density, microstructure and mechanical properties of samples sintered at 1200?C for 3 h was investigated. The particle size refinement appeared to be beneficial in accelerating densification process and improving mechanical properties. The density, compressive strength and hardness of anorthite ceramics obtained from non-milled precursor were measured to be 70.5 %TD, 64 MPa and 1.45 GPa, respectively. On the other side the anorthite ceramics obtained from 24-hour-long milled zeolite precursor had density of 83.9 %TD, compressive strength of 101 MPa and hardness of 3.44 GPa.

The most significant parameters affecting particle size and morphology in nanoscale powder production are the working temperature and working time. The reduction in size leads to the addition of new electrical, mechanical, chemical and optical properties to the materials. The properties of nano ZnO are of special importance due to its multi-dimensional applications in the fields of industry, cosmetics, electronics, etc. Zinc oxide (ZnO) with various morphologies was synthesized by hydrothermal method at different temperatures (140, 180 and 220oC) and different times (12, 18 and 24 h). The samples were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD and UV-vis techniques.SEM and EDX findings show that especially ZnO nanostructures have developed. The pattern of the XRD showed that the sample was well crystallized in a structure of hexagonal wurtzite. The energy band gap values samples synthesized at different parameters were found to be 3.07, 3.10, 3.19, 3.17 and 3.13 eV, respectively.

This paper examined the microstructural and dielectric characteristics of BaTiO3 - based ceramics of the general formula BaTi1-x-yNbxMnyO3. The concentration of Mn as acceptor was variable 0.01 and 0.05 at%, while the donor (Nb) was fixed at 0.5 at%. The starting ceramic powders were produced by a conventional solid-state reaction method and sintered at 1290 and 1320oC. In BaTiO3 ceramics doped with a higher Mn concentration (0.05 at% Mn) at a sintering temperature of 1290?C, a bimodal structure with a grain of 10-30 ?m, and 1-5 ?m, was obtained. Sintering at a higher temperature (Tsin = 1320?C), regardless of Mn content, provides the achievement of a uniform microstructure with grains under than 6 ?m. The ceramics doped with 0.01 at% Mn and sintered at 1320?C are characterized by high values of the dielectric constant at room temperature and notable changes in the dielectric constant with temperature. Nb-0.05Mn BaTiO3 doped ceramics sintered at 1290?C show lower dielectric constant values due to the presence of Mn-enriched areas representing paraelectric regions. Areas richer in Mn are associated with the fine-grained structure. The dielectric constant in the investigated systems achieves a constant value for frequencies higher than 3kHz. The Curie temperature of all samples was shifted to lower values in relation to undoped BaTiO3 ceramics. According to Curie-Weiss law were determined the Curie constant C and the Curie temperature Tc.

In this paper, we present a novel and low - cost method for preparing copper sulfide films on polyamide. Non-treated as well as pre-treated PA6 films by 3 different methods (in boiled water; in NaOH solution; in boiled water and then in NaOH solution) were used for the formation of Cu2S layers by the sorption-diffusion method. Molten sulfur has been used as a sulfurization agent. The XRD, FTIR, and UV-VIS methods were used to characterize the structural, optical, and electrical properties of samples and to track changes in samples after each treatment stage. The sheet resistance of Cu2S layers depends on the pre-treatment method and varied from 7 k?/sq to 6 M?/sq. The optical band gaps (Eg) for direct and indirect transitions are determined to be 2.61-2.67 eV and 1.40-1.44 eV, respectively. Furthermore, the optical constants n, k, and ? are determined from UV-VIS measurements.

In this work we show predictions for the low energy cross sections and transport properties for the H+ ions in n-Butanol gas. These data are needed for modelling in numerous applications of technologically importance. Appropriate gas phase enthalpies of formation for the products were used to calculate scattering cross section as a function of kinetic energy. Calculated cross sections can be used to obtain rate coefficients as a function of E/N (E -electric field strength; N-gas density) for H+ in n-Butanol gas.

The nucleation process of lithium germanium-phosphate glass was studied to determine the temperature range of nucleation and the temperature of the maximum nucleation rate. The differential thermal analysis (DTA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to reveal the nonisothermal and isothermal process of nucleation, respectively. The crystallization process occurred at a high homogeneous nucleation rate and the spherulitic crystal growth morphology. Nanostructured samples were obtained.

The impact of sintering duration on willemite-based glass-ceramics (WGC) derived from the ZnO-B2O3-SiO2 host system through a conventional melt-quenching method by incorporating rice husk ash (RHA) as the silica (SiO2) source was comprehensively studied by means of physical, structural, and optical properties. The increment of sintering duration elevated the diffusivity rate resulting in a gradual increment of bulk density and linear shrinkage over sintering time. The XRD patterns affirmed the ?-Zn2SiO4 phase formed after sintering at 700?C for 2 h, followed by ?-Zn2SiO4 crystallization at a higher holding time. FESEM observation revealed that Zn2SiO4 embedded in the glassy solid phase and grew in equiaxed shape crystals as the holding time increased. Absorption spectra revealed the increasing trend in absorption bands with an increase in sintering duration due to the intensification of Zn2SiO4 crystallization thus escalating the green emission. Thus, this WGC will be applied as optically phosphor materials.

Fe-base Superalloy/Al2O3 type composite compacts were successfully obtained by spark plasma sintering from mechanically alloyed powders. The superalloy powders without Al2O3 and superalloy/Al2O3 type composites powders with 5 and 10 %vol. Al2O3 were synthesized from elemental powders in a high energy planetary mill. The influence of the milling process on particle size evolution has been determined using a Laser Particle Size Analyzer with an analysis field of 0.1-1000 ?m. The composite compacts were obtained by spark plasma sintering. Both, composite powders, and compacts were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).

The impact of the type and amounts of nanofiller on the features of the glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (GMA-co-EGDMA)/organomodified montmorillonite (OMt) nanocomposites that were prepared by in situ radical suspension polymerization, was examined. Cloisite 30B and Cloisite 25A were used in this study as nanofillers, in amounts of 2 and 10 wt.%. The structure, morphology, thermal stability and porosity of the initial GMA-co-EGDMA copolymer and their nanocomposites were examined by ATR-FTIR analysis, wide angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and mercury porosimetry. It has been established that both clay nanofillers were successfully incorporated into the structure of the initial copolymer, simultaneously on their surface and also on cross-sectional area. Prepared samples with 2 wt.% have predominantly exfoliated, while samples with 10 wt.% have some tactoids-aggregates structure of the OMt layers. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that after ~ 30 % of degradation, all nanocomposites become more thermal stable than the initial copolymer. The obtained results indicate that porosity parameters can be easily modified with the addition of clay nanofillers and thus prepared nanocomposites adjusted to specific purposes.
