Pressureless sintering of hexagonal boron nitride (BN) was performed using a powder activated by mechano-chemical treatments. Physical properties of the sintered BN bodies depend on the type of starting powder and the conditions of the treatments. The BN body, which was obtained at 2000°C using an appropriate activated powder, was 99 wt% pure and was excellent in mechanical and physical properties, in spite of its low density (1.64 g/cm3). 相似文献
The structure, electronic and magnetic properties of nanodiamond and nanographite/nanographene are investigated. Detonation nanodiamond particles that are covered with amorphous graphitic composites are hydrothermally treated to remove the graphitic surface composites and to terminate the surface carbon atoms with hydrogen. The number of localized spins of dangling bonds and the hydrogen concentration increase upon the increase in the hydrothermal treatment time up to 40 h. Above 40 h, both drop discontinuously, a surface structural reconstruction was suggested. The creation of dangling bonds and an incomplete hydrogenation of the surface carbon atoms destabilize the surface, resulting in the structural reconstruction. Nanodiamond particles are thermally converted to nanographite/nanographene. A single nanographene sheet is successfully prepared by heat-treating nanodiamond particles. The edge of graphene sheet with its edge carbon atoms being hydrogen-terminated is investigated by UHV-STM/STS. Zigzag edges are found to have non-bonding π-state of edge origin, in good agreement with theoretical prediction. 相似文献
We investigated the conditions for low-temperature synthesis of ZrC fine powder from ZrO2–Mg–CH4. The synthesis utilizes a thermite-type reaction, with Mg as the reducing agent, and a reaction between Mg and CH4 gas as a carbon source. The Mg/ZrO2 molar ratio as well as the heating rate were varied. Because C can be continuously fed into the reaction group by the cyclic reaction of Mg through the formation and decomposition of Mg2C3 (2Mg + 3CH4→ Mg2C3+ 6H2→ 2Mg + 3C), a molar ratio of 2.2 for Mg/ZrO2 was sufficient for the synthesis of single-phase ZrC. ZrC powders were synthesized under the following conditions: Mg/ZrO2 molar ratio = 2.2, heating rate = 20°C/min, and temperature maintained at 750°C for 30 min. The amount of reaction heat produced in the reduction reaction of ZrO2 by Mg depended on the Mg/ZrO2 molar ratio, specifically, the amount of ZrO2 contained. Moreover, the cyclic reaction of Mg-Mg2C3–Mg was influenced by the amount of reaction heat described above and by the heating rate. The ZrC fine powder showed little aggregation and high dispersibility. 相似文献
Summary This paper describes the so-called No Catalyst Copolymerization between dioxo-1,1-thiazetidine-1,2(Ethanesultam; ESm) and 2-methyl-2-oxazoline. The copolymerization took place without any added initiator to produce copolymers of MeOZO and ESm. The structure of the copolymer was determined by the IR and NMR spectra, elemental analysis, as well as by the result of an alkaline hydrolysis of the copolymer. The reaction scheme of the copolymerization via zwitterion mechanism (Eq 3–5) was proposed. 相似文献
F−- and OH−-free ZnO-B2O3-SiO2-Al2O3-P2O5 glasses used for semiconductor-device passivation or insulation are investigated with regard to compositional dependencies for thermal expansion, viscosity points, and metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor properties. The experimental data show that thermal expansion increases, and flow points decrease, when P2O5 is substituted for B2O3. MOS capacitors passivated by OH−- and F−-free ZnO-based glasses exhibit normal capacitance-voltage curves. 相似文献
Summary Liquid crystalline side-chain polysiloxanes were prepared without metal complex catalyst. Mesogenic groups such as cholesteryl, 4-cyano-4-biphenyl and 4-methoxy-4-biphenyl group were introduced into polysiloxane by esterification and from DSC measurements they were compatible with other liquid crystalline polysiloxanes reported previously. 相似文献
In this paper, we propose a new video conferencing system that presents correct gaze directions of a remote user by switching among images obtained from multiple cameras embedded in a screen according to a local user’s position. Our proposed method reproduces a situation like that in which the remote user is in the same space as the local user. The position of the remote user to be displayed on the screen is determined so that the positional relationship between the users is reproduced. The system selects one of the embedded cameras whose viewing direction towards the remote user is the closest to the local user’s viewing direction to the remote user’s image on the screen. As a result of quantitative evaluation, we confirmed that, in comparison with the case using a single camera, the accuracy of gaze estimation was improved by switching among the cameras according to the position of the local user.
Nitrides of transition metals have good wear- and corrosion-resistant properties because of their high hardness and chemical
stability. Chromium-nitride coatings can be deposited by ion plating; however, the thin thickness due to the slow deposition
rate must be improved for severe wear-resistant applications. The main objective in this paper is to realize good structural
control in the processing of chromiumnitride in situ composite coatings formed at a high deposition rate. They were synthesized
by reactive low-pressure plasma spraying using elemental chromium powder as a spray material. The transferred arc between
the gun electrode and the substrate was used to accelerate the nitriding reaction. The sprayed coatings consist of chromium,
Cr2N, and CrN, which have a composition gradient from the substrate interface to the surface. The volume fraction of Cr2N increases with transferred arc current, and nonreacted chromium concurrently decreases, except close to the substrate. The
CrN phase, however, only exists as a surface layer of 20 to 30 μm because it is decomposed to Cr2N above 1420 K. The hardness of the composite coatings depends on the volume fraction of Cr2N, and it increases to 1300 HV at a Cr2N volume fraction of 0.98. The seizure stress with lubricant depends on the coating hardness. The maximum seizure stress of
24.9 MPa is obtained at a hardness of 1300 HV. The composite coatings also show a superior wear resistance. Hence, the Cr2N in situ composite coatings synthesized by reactive plasma spraying with transferred arc are expected to be good candidates
for wear-resistant applications. 相似文献
The surface nitridation of titanium was carried out at a low pressure in nitrogen atmosphere using a gas tunnel type plasma
jet. The titanium nitride (TiN) film, 10 μm thick and 2000 HV, could be formed in 10 s. The structure of the TiN film was
investigated by XRD. The Vickers hardness on the surface of the film was measured. The effects of deposition conditions on
the properties of TiN films (TiN thickness,Vickers hardness, etc.) were investigated, and the advantage of this deposition
method was identified from those results. 相似文献
