Synthesis of a Novel Flame Retardant Containing
A novel flame retardant (TDA) containing phosphorus, nitrogen, and silicon was synthesized successfully via a controllable ring-opening addition reaction between 1,3,5-triglycidyl isocyanurate, 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide, and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and TDA was then blended with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A to prepare flame-retardant epoxy resins (EPs). The

Purpose: This study aims at the changes in number distribution and its fractal characteristics of nanoscale pore in nuclear graphite. Methods: Two typical nuclear graphite, i.e., IG-110 and NBG-18 were sampled and tested at synchrotron radiation SAXS beamline station at temperatures of 25℃, 100℃, 200℃, 300℃ and 400℃, respectively.

The Basis for a Fracture Mechanics Assessment of Nuclear Graphite
To perform fracture mechanics assessments of nuclear graphite the following assumptions are made: Graphite behaves in a linear elastic manner, this is reasonable true for fine grained graphites, but is not the case for coarse grained graphites, where significant process

CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ASPHALTENES
ABSTRACT In the present work, we report the chemical characterization of asphaltenes from a light Colombian crude oil, 36 API, Colorado Crude Oil (CCO). Asphaltenes of CCO were extracted using the standard ASTM procedure, ASTM D6560-12. The approach

Enabling Natural Graphite in High‐Voltage Aqueous
Graphite is a promising cathode material for dual‐ion batteries due to its high operating potential, low cost, and high safety. Nevertheless, it is challenging to find a suitable aqueous electrolyte due to the narrow electrochemical stability window (1.23 V).

Porosity Effects in Polycrystalline Graphite, Journal of
Thermal and physical properties of a series of porous, polycrystalline graphites have been measured. The solid matrix material was characterized by X‐ray diffraction measurements of crystallite size, interplanar spacing, and anisotropy. The pore structure was examined using electron micrography, porosimetry, permeability, and helium density measurements. Thermal and electrical conductivities

2020/2/5Background Carbon dots (CDs) are of particular interest in numerous applications. However, their efficiency for heavy metal removal from wastewater was not yet reported. Herein, we rationally synthesized CDs from petroleum coke waste via hydrothermal treatment in the presence of ammonia. Results This drove the formation of outstanding photoluminescent, water-soluble, biocompatible, and

Synchrotron X
2017/11/1The strain field of a crack in polygranular isotropic nuclear graphite, a quasi-brittle material, has been studied during stable fracture propagation. Synchrotron X-ray computed tomography and strain mapping by diffraction were combined with digital volume correlation and phase congruency image analysis to extract the full field displacements and elastic crystal strains.

Characterizing Graphene, Graphite, and Carbon
Recent advances in Raman spectroscopy for characterizing graphene, graphite, and carbon nanotubes are reviewed comparatively. We first discuss the first-order and the double-resonance (DR) second-order Raman scattering mechanisms in graphene, which give rise to the most prominent Raman features. Then, we review phonon-softening phenomena in Raman spectra as a function of gate

The solidification of ductile cast iron
The microsegregation of Mn, Cu, Cr, Mo, Ni and Si has been measured in cast ductile iron and in ductile iron which has been quenched when partially solidified. Effective segregation coefficients have been determined for each of the elements, and used to calculate the segregation on the basis of the Scheil equation. The calculated values agree reasonably well with the values of the solute

2015/11/18The results showed a dependence relationship between high thermal conductivity ratios and enhanced sensitivity, small nanoparticle size, and higher temperature. Hence, nanofillers' size is a determinant variable for heat transfer nanofluids, since, as previously stated, its smaller size reduces or avoids critical issues of larger fillers.

Reduction of graphene oxide and graphene quantum dots
In colloidal form graphene was produced by oxidation of graphite in order to obtain graphene oxide (GO) which is in the next step reduced using different methods []. The common methods for GO reduction are chemical reactions with hydrazine, hydroquinone, sodium borohydride, or dimethylhydrazine [ 2 ], or with solvothermal method [ 3 ], freeze-dried [ 4 ], ect.

Neutron Cross
Typical nuclear radii are of the order 10 −14 m.Assuming spherical shape, nuclear radii can be calculated according to following formula: r = r 0.A 1/3 where r 0 = 1.2 x 10-15 m = 1.2 fm If we use this approximation, we therefore expect the geometrical cross-sections of nuclei to be of the order of πr 2 or 4.5 x 10 −30 m for hydrogen nuclei or 1.74 x 10 −28 m for 238 U nuclei.
