Thermal Expansion of Neutron Irradiated Glassy Carbon

Thermal expansion coefficient of hydrogenated amorphous carbon

The coefficient of thermal expansion ~CTE! of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) was investigated as a function of the concentration of sp hybridization. The CTE, determined using the thermally induced bending technique, depends on the concentration of sp bonded carbon, increasing to the value of graphite as the sp concentration approaches 100%. By using a combination of the thermally induce...

Thermal Expansion of Carbon Nanofiber-Reinforced Multiscale Polymer Composites

Improved dimensional stability of composites is desired in applications where they are exposed to varying temperature conditions. The current study aims at analyzing the effect of vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on the thermal expansion behavior of epoxy matrix composites and hollow particlefilled composites (syntactic foams). CNFs have a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than e...

Fast Neutron Irradiated Magnetite and Haematite Investigated by Neutron Diffraction

In this paper, we present new experimental results about crystallographic and magnetic properties obtained on magnetite Fe,04 and haematite a-FqO, samples irradiated by fast neutrons. Polycrystalline rods were irradiated at 350K by fast neutrons inside the core of Melusine nuclear reactor (CENG) in Grenoble at various fluences (4 lO", 9.2 1019 and 20 10'' neutronslcm~). The irradiated samples h...

Thermal Properties of Se100–xZnx Glassy System

The crystallization process in Se100–xZnx glassy system is investigated using differential scanning calorimeters (DSC). The samples are prepared by conventional melt-quenching technique in the composition range 2 ≤ x ≤ 20 (at%). Nonisothermal measurements are carried out for different heating rates .The value of the glass transition temperature Tg the crystallization temperature Tc and the crys...
