Journal of Electrochemistry
Two kinds of the cobalt oxyhydroxide conductive networks in foam nickel electrodes were prepared by different methods i.e.the electrochemical-oxidation(EO) and chemical-oxidation(CO) and which redox behaviors were studied by using cyclic voltammetry and X-ray diffraction measurements.The results show that the CoOOH(CO) has better redox reversibility than CoOOH(EO) and the structure of the former can be kept when nickel electrodes are subjected to a negative potential.Thus,98.7% capacity retention is demonstrated on nickel/metal-hydride batteries with CoOOH(CO) conductive network after being imposed over-discharge state storage;on the contrary,only 83.3% capacity retention is found on the batteries with CoOOH(EO) conductive network.

LiFePO4 and LiFePO4 doped with Cu2+ ions were synthesized by solid-state reactions.The structure of LiFePO4 and the Fe valence were analyzed by the XRD(X-ray diffraction) and XPS(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) respectively.The Cu doping position in LiFePO4 is discussed.It has found that the volume of LiFePO4 by doping Cu2+ ions is reduced.The minim Cu2+ ions doping does not almost change the binding energy of Fe2p1/2 in LiFePO4.According to the experiment results,we conclude that most of the Cu2+ ions substitute the Fe2+ ions in LiFePO4 when a small amount of Cu2+ ions doping is occurred.

This paper is a contribution to characterization of Cu-Al2O3 powders with nanostructure designed for the production of dispersion strengthened contact materials. New materials with predetermined properties can be successfully synthesized by utilizing the principles of hydrometallurgy and powder metallurgy. The results show a development of a new procedure for the synthesis. The applied characterization methods were differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis (DTA-TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and Analytical Electron Microscopy (AEM). Nanostructure characteristics, particle size in range 20-50 nm, and uniform distribution of dispersoide in copper matrix were validated.

In order to achieve improved mechanical properties of dispersion strengthened nanocomposite, without influencing electrical and thermal conductivity it is necessary for dispersoide to be nano sized and uniformly distributed in base metal matrix. In this paper are presented the results concerning possibility of using UV spectrophotometry for determination of alumina particle size in Cu-Al2O3 system. Presented results show that this method is unefficient as method for determination of dispersoide particle size, due to the coalescence of particles false results are obtained, i.e. particle size significantly higher then one determined by image analysis.

Open Access Theses & Dissertations
In recent years, rapid prototyping (RP) technologies initially developed to create prototypes prior to production for the automotive, aerospace, and other industries, have found applications in tissue engineering (TE). Several different RP technologies are being used to fabricate biocompatible 3D structures with controlled micro- and macro-scale characteristics. The focus of this research was to explore the capabilities of the RP technology, stereolithography (SL), for creating complex, 3D scaffolds with applications in TE using a photocrosslinkable biopolymer, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The primary objective was to create an implantable multi-lumen nerve guidance conduit (NGC) for the regeneration of peripheral nerves.

The energy costs for the product were based on the batch processing time and gas consumption rate. The model was analyzed to predict variations …
Structure And Kinetics Of Internal Oxidation In Ag-Sn Alloys, Zeljko J. Kamberovic
Structure And Kinetics Of Internal Oxidation In Ag-Sn Alloys, Zeljko J. Kamberovic
Zeljko J Kamberovic
Internal oxidation in Ag-Sn-In-Te and Ag-Sn-Cu-Bi alloys was tested. Microstructures of casted and homogenized samples, as well as after internal oxidation were followed by optical microscopy. The structure of Ag-Sn-Cu-Bi alloy was found finer, and the oxidation rate is considerably higher compared to the Ag-Sn-In-Te type alloy sheets. It seems that the size and volume fraction of secondary phase particles (probably ζ type) can influence the process of internal oxidation. In the Ag-Sn-In-Te alloy type “wavy oxidation” was noticed with oxide free regions.
