Hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of a coarse grain metastable beta titanium alloy (Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr) was investigated using uniaxial compression testing followed by a subsequent beta annealing treatment. Compression testing was carried out at 720 °C and strain rates between 0.001-10 s-1 on samples with beta annealed condition and aged microstructure containing high volume fraction of relatively large alpha precipitates. The peak load of the aged samples are higher than the non-aged specimens but they show rather similar steady state flow stress. The subsequent beta annealing treatment on the compressed aged samples leads to breaking down the ingot microstructure and formation of a fully recrystallized beta phase with massive grain refinement (order of millimeter to ∼100 μm). However, after annealing such grain refinement is not seen for the non-aged samples except at high strain rates that showed partial and local recrystallization.

The six-, eight- and twelve-membered cyclo-siloxanes, cyclo-[R2SiOSi(Ot-Bu)2O]2 (R = Me (1), Ph (2)), cyclo-(t-BuO)2Si(OSiR2)2O (R = Me (3), Ph (4)), cyclo-R2Si[OSi(Ot-Bu)2]2O (R = Me (5), Ph (6)) and cyclo-[(t-BuO)2Si(OSiMe2)2O]2 (3a) were synthesized in high yields by the reaction of (t-BuO)2Si(OH)2 and [(t-BuO)2SiOH]2O with R2SiCl2 and (R2SiCl)2O (R = Me, Ph). Compounds 1 - 6 were characterized by solution and solid-state 29Si NMR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry and osmometric molecular weight determination. The molecular structure of 4 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and features a six-membered cyclo-siloxane ring that is essentially planar. The reduction of 1 - 6 with i-Bu2AlH (DIBAL-H) led to the formation of the metastable aluminosiloxane (t-BuO)2Si(OAli-Bu2)2 (7) along with Me2SiH2 and Ph2SiH2.

Aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be readily synthesized on quartz or silicon-oxide-coated Si substrates using a chemical vapor deposition method, but it is difficult to grow them on pure Si substrates without predeposition of metal catalysts. We report that aligned CNTs were grown by pyrolysis of iron phthalocyanine at 1000 °C on the templates created on Si substrates with simple mechanical scratching. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray energy spectroscopy analysis revealed that the trenches and patterns created on the surface of Si substrates were preferred nucleation sites for nanotube growth due to a high surface energy, metastable surface structure, and possible capillarity effect. A two-step pyrolysis process maintained Fe as an active catalyst.

One dimensional titanium oxides (TiO2) nanorods and nanowires have substantial applications in photocatalytic, nanoelectronic, and photoelectrochemical areas. These applications require large quantities of materials and a production technique suitable for future industry fabrication. We demonstrate here a new method for mass production of TiO2 nanorods from mineral ilmenite sands (FeTiO3). In this process, powder mixtures of ilmenite and activated carbon were first ball milled; the milled samples were then heated twice at two different temperatures. First high-temperature annealing produced metastable titanium oxide phases, and subsequent second low-temperature annealing in N2-5%H2 activates the growth of rutile nanorods. This solid-state growth process allows large-quantity production of rutile nanorods.

The addition of nano-sized ceramic particles to the plastic crystal ethyl-methyl pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)amide (P12TFSA) has been investigated by means of DSC and conductivity. The thermal behaviour of the plastic crystal as a function of filler content suggests that the filler particles decrease the onset temperature of the melting slightly at high loadings, however they do not decrease the crystallinity of the material. Furthermore, the IV → III transition decreases in intensity, indicating that the addition of filler increases the possibility for the crystal to remain in metastable rotator phases also at lower temperatures. The conductivity shows a more than one order of magnitude increase with the addition of filler, with a filler concentration dependence that levels out above ~ 10 wt.% TiO2.

Very recently 63Cu NMR has been shown to be extremely sensitive in detecting and differentiating between the precipitate phases that form in Al-Cu alloys during heat treatment. This technique is now used to quantify the effectiveness of small additions of Sn to the alloy Al-1.7 at.% Cu in promoting the rapid nucleation and growth of the θ'-phase precipitate. Two parallel series of 63Cu NMR spectra were recorded for Al-1.7 at.% Cu and Al-1.7 at.% Cu-0.01 at.% Sn: (i) aged at 130° C to observe the comparative rate of phase evolution and (ii) aged at 200° C to observe the rate of growth of θ'-phase and to compare with the Vickers hardness of the alloys aged at 200° C for similar periods. Evidence is presented that a metastable precursor phase to θ' (labelled TPHM2757math001) is formed in Al-Cu-Sn which transforms to θ' on further aging.
