Sol-Gel Derived, Air-Baked Indium And Tin Oxide Films, Douglas M. Mattox
Sol-Gel Derived, Air-Baked Indium And Tin Oxide Films, Douglas M. Mattox
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A sol-gel derived, transparent, electrically conducting tin-doped In2O3 film system has been developed which only requires air baking. The films approximate the properties of sputtered and hot-sprayed films but are simpler and less expensive to apply by dipping and spinning procedures. Substrate sodium interference was seen to be minimal. © 1991.
Composition And Method For Radiation Synovectomy Of Arthritic Joints, D. E. Day, Gary J. Ehrhardt
Composition And Method For Radiation Synovectomy Of Arthritic Joints, D. E. Day, Gary J. Ehrhardt
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A method for preparing nonradioactive microspheres adapted for radiation synovectomy of arthritic joints in a mammal involves forming the microspheres by doping a biodegradable glass material which may be lithium or potassium silicate, lithium or potassium aluminosilicate, lithium or potassium aluminoborate, lithium or potassium germanate or lithium or potassium alumino- germanate with an isotope which may be samarium, holmium, erbium, dysprosium, rhemium or yttrium so that the isotope is chemcially dissolved in and distributed uniformly throughout the glass material. The doped glass material is then treated with an acid wash to produce a thin layer on the surface thereof and …

Composition And Method For Radiation Synovectomy Of Arthritic Joints, D. E. Day, Gary J. Ehrhardt
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Radioactive microspheres for radiation synovectomy of arthritic joints in a mammal comprises a biodegradable glass material and a beta radiation emitting radioisotope chemically dissolved in and distributed substantially uniformly throughout the glass material. The biodegradable glass material may be lithium silicate, lithium aluminosilicate, lithium aluminoborate, lithium germa- nate, lithium aluminogermanate, potassium silicate, potassium aluminosilicate, potassium aluminoborate, potassium germanate or potassium aluminogermanate and the beta radiation emitting radioisotope may be samarium-153, holmium-166, erbium-169, dysprosium-165, rhenium-186, rhenium-188 or yttrium-90. Method for preparing such microspheres and for carrying out radiation synovectomy of arthritic joints utilizing such microspheres are also disclosed.

Radioactive Glass Microspheres, D. E. Day, Gary J. Ehrhardt
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A radioactive microsphere for radiation therapy of a mammal comprising a biologically compatible glass material containing a beta or gamma emitting radioisotope distributed substantially uniformly throughout the glass. Advantageously, the radioisotope is produced by irradiation of the microsphere.
Phase Separation In Glasses, N. J. Kreidl
Phase Separation In Glasses, N. J. Kreidl
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The detection, acceptance and further investigation of glass-glass phase separation was closely connected with the development of methods making detection possible, such as electron microscope technique pioneered and exploited by Werner Vogel, to whom this paper is dedicated on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Structures are not always found in agreement with rules derived from thermodynamic principles, and also depend on thermal history, as well as mode of preparation. The phenomenon is exemplified in many glass-forming systems. Among more recent applications are the control of crystallization by preceding phase separation as in glass-ceramics and semiconductor-doped glasses for non-linear optics. …
