Corrosion Product Film-Induced Stress Facilitates Stress Corrosion Cracking

Finite element analyses were conducted to clarify the role of corrosion product films (CPFs) in stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Flat and U-shaped edge-notched specimens were investigated in terms of the CPF-induced stress in the metallic substrate and the stress in the CPF. For a U-shaped edge-notched specimen, the stress field in front of the notch tip is affected by the Young's modulus of th...

Tarnish Resistance, Corrosion and Stress Corrosion Cracking of Gold Alloys

Tarnishing, corrosion and stress corrosion cracking (SeC) of gold alloys are related phenomena. They present problems when they occur in gold jewellery, dental gold alloys and electronic devices. They are exploited, however, in the depletion gilding and finishing of gold jewellery; and in the extraction, refining and fire assaying of gold. There is still much that is not known about these pheno...

Kumamoto University Repository System

As the first step toward an evaluation of the potential use of the PAMAM dendrimer (G3) conjugate with α-cyclodextrin (α-CDE) for a small interfering RNA (siRNA) carrier, the ternary complexes of α-CDE or the transfection reagents such as Lipofactamine2000 (L2), TransFast (TF) and Lipofectin (LF) with plasmid DNA (pDNA) and siRNA were prepared, and their RNAi effects, cytotoxicity, physicochemi...
