Fabrics success

CEA is the economic analysis in which the consequences or effects of intervention are expressed in improvements such as fabricating successful products, years of service, etc. 

Two characteristics of plastics are processability and cost. Processing is a key factor required to commercialize a product. A process must be developed to scale up economically from bench to pilot plant and eventually to a production process. Equally important is adaptation of new polymer to economical fabrication. Successful fabrication insures that laboratory properties are inherent in end product. A processability value must be included in initial objectives and product description. 

Although fabricating operations on stainless steels are more difficult than on standard carbon steels, all types of stainless steel can be fabricated successfully. The properties of types 430F, 416, 410, 310, 309, and 303 make these materials particularly well suited for machining or other fabricating operations. In general, machinability is improved if small quantities of phosphorus, selenium, or sulfur are present in the alloy. 

Zr02/Al203 and Zr02/Ni FGMs were fabricated successfully by the underwater-shock consolidation technique and they were densified fully without any cracks and warps. 

It was found that the p-type compound was relatively dense. The density was increased with increasing the pressing temperature because of the porosity decrease. The decrease results from an improvement in the bonding between the powders. We could not fabricate successfully the compound at 440 U because of the local melting of the powders. The melt was identified as Te used as a dopant. Fig. 1 shows the optical microstructures along the longitudinal and transverse directions for the compound hot pressed at 420 °C. The dark areas shown in Fig. 1 correspond to the pores. The porosity present in the compound was decreased with the pressing temperature. 

Fabrication of well-arranged metal nanoparticle arrays by using nanocylinder structured template films is one of the important topics in nanotechnology. The size and the periodicity of the nanoparticle arrays can be controlled independently by choosing appropriate templates. This control has been achieved by using well-ordered nanotemplate films of PEO-based azo LCBCs (Li et al., 2007b). As shown in Fig. 12.21, a well-ordered array of Ag nanoparticles was fabricated successfully... 

Microholes, slots, and channels can be fabricated successfully by EMM with high precision and quality. Figure 9.3 shows the microhole of entry diameter 24 pm and exit diameter 22.5 pm drilled on an SS-304 plate. EMM operation was performed at 5 MHz pulse power, pulse width 60 ns, average voltage 2.8 V, amplitude of vibration of microtool 0.2 pm, and frequency of vibration of microtool 236 Hz. 

Cemented borides with a metallic matrix have also been fabricated successfully from the ternary transition metal borides of so-called x-, ip- and ca-types since these composites can easily be liquid phase sintered with metallic melts. 

Voyager 1 has been traveling for 33 years and is currently 10,900,000,000 miles from Earth. CubeSats are miniature satellites 2.5 inches on a side and are simple and inexpensive enough for student design teams to engineer and fabricate successfully. 

SOFC stack development focused on increasing stack reliability and endurance. Stack tests were conducted to further define and design a standardized stack building block unit. Multiple 96-cell (550 cm2 cell active area, 15 kW nominal) stacks were fabricated, successfully factory conditioned and acceptance tested. One stack was tested for >5000 h with an average performance degradation rate of <1.6%/1000 h. The results were almost duplicated in a second stack which showed a degradation rate of <1.4%/1000 h over 3500 h of operation. 

The self-assembled spherical electrodes have a fabrication success rate over 70%. In some instances, the presence of a golden conducting film adjacent to the sphere was seen on the ontside wall of the micropipette tip. This thin film could be removed by... 

Preparing polymer nanocomposite OLED devices containing semiconductor NCs still remains a challenge. However, a few EL devices have been fabricated successfully [30-38]. For instance, Liu et al. investigated the properties of diode structures fabricated from PVK conducting polymer and luminescent Au-CdSe/ZnS core-shell nanocrystals. A series of double-layered EL devices with structures as represented in Fig. 3 were designed and fabricated [30]. 

Nowadays, hybrid organic-inorganic polymer nanocomposites with luminescent semiconductor NCs are also of interest for their potential applications in electronic devices such as OLEDs. Unfortunately, polymer nanocomposite EL LEDs containing semiconductor NCs have remained a challenge. Only a few EL devices have been so far fabricated successfully [30-38,294,297-299]. Common EL devices are composed from a few layers, with one of them containing SC nanoparticles. 

The current-voltage (I-V) measurement system is composed of Keithley 236 Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer and a readout circuit of n-MOSFET. The sensitivity and linearity of flexible array sensor measured in the concentrations between pHl and pH 13 at room temperature (25 °C) were represented in Table 1. The ranges of sensitivity and linearity were from 49.77 mV/ pH to 56.74 mV/pH and from 0.994 to 0.998, respectively. At present, the pH array sensors have been fabricated successfully and applied to I-V measurement system. 

In addition, Pt shell, i.e., Pt(-Pt)-deposited PAT NPs, could be fabricated successfully through the post-chemical reduction treatment by adding K2PtCl4, a small amount of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as a dispersion stabilizer, and formic acid (reducing agent) [121, 129]. Figure 24 indicates the SEM image of Pt shell formed on the surface of PAT NPs. 

The process of organizing clay using ammonium ions has a considerable impact on production cost. In order to omit this expensive process, silicate layers of clay (sodium-type montmorillonite) were uniformly dispersed in a water slurry and mixed with a molten resin. This method is shown schematically in Fig. 1.16. The clay slurry was injected into a twin-screw extruder by a pump, and water was removed under reduced pressure. In this process, a nylon nanocomposite with uniformly dispersed silicate layers was fabricated successfully. This method simplified the clay organization process, allowing nanocomposites to be obtained at low cost. Table 1.8 shows the mechanical properties of this nanocomposite. The heat distortion temperature was somewhat lowered because the bonding between clay and nylon was not ionic bonding.
