Liquid CO2 processing of solid polylactide foam precursors

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, John Christopher Plummer, Yonghoon Yoon

Diffusion of CO2 in polylactide was modelled by assuming the diffusion coefficient to depend on CO2 concentration, c, according to D[c]=D[0]exp[Ac], where D[0] and A are empirical constants, with the aim of optimizing impregnation of nominally amorphous an ...

Nuclear Quantum Effects in H+ and OH- Diffusion along Confined Water Wires

Michele Ceriotti, Mariana Rossi Carvalho

The diffusion of protons and hydroxide ions along water wires provides an efficient mechanism for charge transport that is exploited by biological membrane channels and shows promise for technological applications such as fuel cells. However, what is lacki ...

Microalloying for the controllable delay of precipitate formation in metal alloys

William Curtin

A model is presented to predict the effectiveness of dilute solutes in delaying precipitate formation, with application to natural and artificial aging in metal alloys. Control of aging is achieved via the binding, at natural aging temperatures, and releas ...

Modeling of GP (I) zone formation during quench in an industrial AA7449 75mm thick plate

Jean-Marie Drezet, Charles-André Gandin, Patrick Schloth

The GP(I) zone formation during quench is simulated in an industrial Aluminumalloy AA7449 75mmthick plate by using a multi-class precipitation model. For this purpose, results of in situ SAXS experiments are reported. A methodology is presented that takes ...

Non-diffusive transport of suprathermal ions by intermittent turbulent structures

Ambrogio Fasoli, Paolo Ricci, Ivo Furno, Kyle Gustafson, Alexandre Dominique Bovet

We report on recent experimental, numerical and theoretical investigations of suprathermal ion transport and turbulent plasma dynamics in TORPEX. TORPEX is a toroidal device in which field-aligned blobs are intermittently generated and propagate across a c ...

Nucleation of Silicon Nanoparticles in Amorphous Silicon Dioxide Matrices

Simone Meloni

In this contribution I summarize our research on the formation of nanoparticles embedded in a-SiO2-x matrices. In particular, I focus on the Si diffusion in SiO2-x matrices, and amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition in Si nanoparticles embedded in SiO2 ...

Particle diffusion in non-equilibrium bedload transport simulations

Christophe Ancey

This paper examines the importance of particle diffusion relative to advection in bed load transport. Particle diffusion is not included in existing approaches to bedload transport. Based on recent advances in the probabilistic theory of sediment transport ...
