Elastic Properties and Microcracking Behavior of Particulate Titanium Diboride–Silicon Carbide Composites

The spontaneous microcracking of particulate TiB₂–SiC composites is studied as a function of TiB₂ volume fraction. The degree of microcracking was examined by measuring elastic properties from room temperature to 1300°C. The results showed that only one composition contains microcracks. All other compositions did not microcrack regardless of TiB₂ volume fraction. This was attributed to the difference in the sintering aids. In particular, the Al₂O₃ sintering aid needed in these compositions had reacted with SiO₂ to form an amorphous grain boundary phase that allowed residual stresses to relax by viscous flow at moderate to high temperatures. The existence of this amorphous grain boundary phase was directly observed by transmission electron microscopy.     

Preparation and characterization of porous carbon beads and their application in dispersing small metal crystallites

Porous carbon beads were prepared by the pyrolysis of poly(vinylidene chloride) beads that were synthesized by suspension polymerization. After prolysis treatment at 180–300 °C under argon stream, the polymeric beads were further carbonized at 1000 °C for 3 h under argon stream to acquire porous carbon beads, of which the specific surface area was about 1000 m²/g, and pore size was mainly in the width range of 0.8–1.2 nm. The carbon structure and surface chemical composition characterized by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, depended on the preparation temperature and the relations between them were examined. The characterization of the carbon beads by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy presented the morphological structure of the carbon beads surface and a global view of pores. The dispersion of nickel crystallites on the carbon beads surface was characterized by electron microprobe analysis. This study reveals that uniform surface morphological structure leads to the fine dispersion of metal crystallites.     

Effect of miscibility and forced compatibility on damping properties of CIIR/PAc blend

In this study, a kind of novel damping materials was prepared based on the blend of chlorinated butyl rubber (CIIR) and polyacrylate (PAc) synthesized by different molar ratio of butyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate. Research results from experiments and analyses by employing DMA, TEM, and FTIR show that whether at a cocured system or noncocured system, it can be achieved to shift a loss peak of CIIR towards a higher temperature region and to keep the damping value from markedlly decreasing, which broadens the effective damping function area of CIIR to the vicinity of ambient temperature. In the former system, the thermodynamical miscibility of CIIR and PAc, to some extent, is predominated by the molecular design of PAc, while in the latter system, covulcanized networks play a more significant role in improving compatibility and abating the peak split, though the suppression effect of thermal stress on the transition of CIIR T_ll transition still can not be neglected. Furthermore, transition state derived from the cocuring CIIR and PAc cannot make the phase separation completely take place, and consequently results in the deformation of phase morphology of the cocured CIIR/PAc blend. It is the influence of thermodynamics miscibility and forced compatibility in different size that makes the suppression effect of foreign PAc on CIIR T_ll transition be controllable. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Protein design to understand peptide ligand recognition by tetratricopeptide repeat proteins

Protein design aims to understand the fundamentals of protein structure by creating novel proteins with pre-specified folds. An equally important goal is to understand protein function by creating novel proteins with pre-specified activities. Here we describe the design and characterization of a tetratricopeptide (TPR) protein, which binds to the C-terminal peptide of the eukaryotic chaperone Hsp90. The design emphasizes the importance of both direct, short-range protein-peptide interactions and of long-range electrostatic optimization. We demonstrate that the designed protein binds specifically to the desired peptide and discriminates between it and the similar C-terminal peptide of Hsp70.
