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 ...

Thin film single crystal growth of metastable semiconducting (GaSb)(,1-x)(Ge(,2))(,x), Ge(,1-x)Sn(,x), and (GaSb)(,(1-x))(Ge(,2(1-y))Sn(,2y))(,x) alloys is studied as a function of growth parameters. The effects of low-energy ...

The group VB bcc metal-hydrogen systems have been extensively studied in the last few years. These studies are relevant to nuclear-reactor technology, superconductivity, and energy storage devices. The elements nitrogen ...
