ti-mcm-41 was synthesized at ph 3, 7 and 11. the titanium content was determined by aas and found to be 4%, 3.2% and 4.5%, respectively. in order to increase the titanium content in ti-mcm-41, ti(iv) ions were grafted onto ti-mcm-41 using ticl4 in toluene and ti(obu)4 in ethanol. the incorporation of ti was determined to be 28% and 30%, respectively. the oxidation of olefins such as cyclopenten...

Some loose ends in Shadrin’s remarkable paper are tied up. Shadrin’s theorem [S] settles a problem posed first in [B73] in the following setting. For k ∈ N, let t := (ti : i ∈ Z) be nondecreasing with ti < ti+k, all i, and set a := inf i ti, sup i ti =: b. For each i, let Nik(x) := (ti+k − ti)∆(ti, . . . , ti+k)(x− ·) k−1 + = (∆(ti+1, . . . , ti+k)− ∆(ti, . . . , ti+k−1))(x − ·) k−1 + be the it...

Titanium (Ti) has been used for long in dentistry and medicine for implant purpose. During the years, not only the commercially pure Ti but also some alloys such as binary and tertiary Ti alloys were used. The aim of this review is to describe and compare the current literature on binary Ti alloys, including Ti-Zr, Ti-In, Ti-Ag, Ti-Cu, Ti-Au, Ti-Pd, Ti-Nb, Ti-Mn, Ti-Mo, Ti-Cr, Ti-Co, Ti-Sn, Ti-...

The present study compares castability and mechanical performance among alloys of c.p. Ti, Ti-6Al-7Nb and a newly-developed Ti-15Mo-1Bi in regard to their as-cast state. Experimental results indicate that average cast length of Ti-6Al-7Nb appears a little lower than c.p. Ti and Ti-15Mo-1Bi, although the differences are not significant. C.p. Ti has an hcp phase of lath-type morphology with serra...

Tungsten metal layer was used for the first time as an effective diffusion barrier for the standard Ti/Al/Ti/Au ohmic metallization scheme to obtain thermally stable ohmic contact suitable for high temperature applications. Comparative studies were performed on three distinct metallization schemes: 1) standard GaN/Ti/Al/Ti/Au, 2) GaN/Ti/Al/W/Au, and 3) GaN/Ti/Al/Ti/W/Au. For the GaN with doping...

2) and 3) together can be summarized by: If t0 = 0 < t1 < t2 < · · · < tk, then the increment rvs B(ti) − B(ti−1), i ∈ {1, . . . k}, are independent with B(ti) − B(ti−1) ∼ N(0, ti − ti−1) (normal with mean 0 and variance ti − ti−1). In particular, B(ti) − B(ti−1) is independent of B(ti−1) = B(ti−1)−B(0). If we only wish to simulate B(t) at one fixed value t, then we need only generate a unit no...

The microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of binary Ti-xPt alloys containing 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% Pt were investigated in order to develop new Ti-based dental materials possessing superior properties than those of commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti). All of the Ti-xPt (x = 5, 10, 15, 20) alloys showed hexagonal α-Ti structure with cubic Ti₃Pt intermetallic phase. The mech...
