Samples of surimi were prepared in laboratory conditions from Adriatic pilchard (Sardina pilchardus). Water content in surimi was 81.5% before mixing with NaCl and κ-carrageenan, which were added in the range of mass fraction from 0 to 10%. Relative apparent specific enthalpy !, initial freezing point Ti, density ρ, and thermal conductivity k of surimi in the temperature range from -25 C to 10 ...

The binary phase diagram CaF2–SrF2 was investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Both substances show unlimited mutual solubility. An azeotropic point showing a minimum melting temperature of Tmin = 1373 C for the composition Ca0.582Sr0.418F2. Close to this composition, homogeneous single crystals up to 30mm diameter without remarkable segregation could be grown by the Czochralski me...

In this work, the strontium-doped lanthanum manganite- a ceramic material- used as cathode in solid oxide fuel cells. An impression of grinding time on the structural and thermal properties of Sr-doped LaMnO3 system with La1-xSrxMnO3 (x=0.2) stoichiometric ratio was investigated. The nano crystallite LSM powder with cubic structure was prepared by varying the milling time of planetary monomill ...

A novel formulation for thick-film graphite sacrificial pastes is studied in this paper. It is composed of coarse graphite powder (grain size: 25 μm), dispersed in a vehicle consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) dissolved in a propylene glycol (PG) – glycerol (G) – water mix, which is not aggressive to thin LTCC sheets. The presented sacrificial paste has been successfully applied for fabricati...

nanocrystalline particles of cerium oxide (ceo2) have been prepared by the chemical precipitation method using cerium nitrate and urea with a molar ratio of 1:2. the results revealed that the formation of ceo2 fine particles is influenced by molar ratio of metal nitrates to fuel. well faceted ceo2 nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation method at reflux temperature in a...

[NiCl2(C14H12N2)(H2O)] complex has been synthesized from nickel chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2·6H2O) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) as N,N-bidentate ligand. The synthesized complex was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and differential thermal/thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTA). The complex was further confirm...

limn2o4 spinel cathode materials have been successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction. surface of these particles were modified by nanostructured lifepo4 via sol gel dip coating method. synthesized products were characterized by thermally analyzed by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis(tg/dta), x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), and energy dispers...

Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) measures the mechanical response of a material as it is programmed linearly through a selected temperature range.' The techniques used in TMA include linear expansion, volumetric expansion, tensile elongation, torsional modulus, and penetration. Comparison of TMA penetration curves with curves of transition temperatures obtained from differential thermal analysis...

A nonlinear optical crystal of gamma glycine was grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique using deionized water and sodium acetate. The functional groups and vibrational frequencies were identified using FTIR spectral analysis. The cell parameters were determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) w...
