Aging in both the beta phase and martensitic state of Cu-Zn-Al alloys causes deterioration and instability of shape memory properties, even at moderate temperatures. These aging effects have been studied by electrical ...

Systematic studies of thermally induced structural transformations in the Na(,2)O.2SiO(,2) (,1-x)(.) Fe(,2)O(,3) (,x) glass system with x (LESSTHEQ) 0.3 have been carried out by means of a variety of techniques including ...

This research has involved chemical studies of complexes produced from coulombic interaction between a polymer and a monomeric ion (monoion) as well as between two polyions. For the polymer-monoion complexation, a poly(crown ...

This work examined the consolidation processing of rapidly solidified particulate and applied a relatively new consolidation technique, namely dynamic compaction (DC), to the problem and investigated a novel processing ...

The corrosion of Al-Al(,3)Fe eutectic composites and individual phases, prepared by employing directional solidification or special mechanical processing to vary microstructure, was studied under conditions of preferential ...

The mechanical property development associated with the healing of polymer-polymer interfaces was studied using theoretical and experimental approaches. The healing of crazes in atactic polystyrene (PS) and microvoids in ...
