A unit cell based numerical approach to model the metal powders and metal-dielectric composites at microwave frequencies is proposed. The unit cell based numerical modeling helps to compute the equivalent reflection and transmission coefficients of these materials, which are commonly used measured parameters at RF and microwave frequencies. The computation of the reflection and transmission coe...

Fine and homogeneous ceramic powders of bismuth sodium titanate, (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BNT), were prepared via a hydrothermal synthesis process by using the Bi2O3 TiO2 as starting raw materials. In particularly, conditions such temperature, time NaOH-aq concentration controlled optimized to obtain fine BNT particles with single perovskite structure. Then, appropriate obtained 12 M, 240 °C for 24 h ...

Production of copper (Cu) composites with a reinforced Cu matrix using mechanical alloying Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) particles different sizes was achieved high-energy ball milling procedure. The initial materials consisted inert gas-atomized spherical electrolytic powders containing 0.5 wt. % commercial Al2O3 powders, particle ranging from 10 µm to 1 µm. were milled at 500 rpm for 3 hours attain ...

Size-controlled spherical silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) can be simply prepared by autoclaving mixtures of glass powder containing silver with glucose. Moreover, chitins with varying degrees of deacetylation (DDAc < 30%) and chitosan powders and sheets (DDAc > 75%) with varying surface structure properties have been evaluated as Ag NP carriers. Chitin/chitosan-Ag NP composites in powder or sheet...

We report gas-phase production of metal oxide nanowires (NWs) and nanoparticles (NPs) using direct oxidation of micron-size metal particles in a high-throughput, atmospheric pressure microwave plasma jet reactor. We demonstrate the concept with production of SnO2, ZnO, TiO2, and Al2O3 NWs. The results suggest that the NW production primarily depends upon the starting metal particle size, microw...

Tungsten sulfide (WS2)-carbon composite powders with superior electrochemical properties are prepared by a two-step process. WO3-carbon composite powders were first prepared by conventional spray pyrolysis, and they were then sulfidated to form WS2-carbon powders. Bare WS2 powders are also prepared by sulfidation of bare WO3 powders obtained by spray pyrolysis. Stacked graphitic layers could no...

The degree of shock energy localization within individual particles and between neighboring particles of diierent size was explored during shock-wave consolidation of spherical metal powders. The thermoelectric voltage generated by the passage of a shock wave through a copper powder-constantan powder interface was recorded. The sizes of the copper and constantan powders were varied between mean...

Elemental powder mixes were subjected to plane-wave shock processing which reduced the initial porosity to essentially zero. Two powder mixes in a 5:3 Ti:Si atomic ratio were used: 2325 mesh Ti and Si ~,45 mm!, and 2100 mesh Ti and Si ~,150 mm! with shock pressures up to 7.3 GPa and shock energies up to 671 J/g. Shock pressures were calculated using hugoniot parameters for porous elemental powd...
