© 2022 Elsevier B.V.Superhydrophobic particles experience less drag force at settling in water. This is because these particles possess air layers around their surfaces, which induce slip at the air-water interface. This study tests the hypothesis that the minerals with superhydrophobic surfaces can be separated well at water pulsating jigs due to the associated drag reduction. For that purpose, superhydrophobic mineral surfaces were generated by spray coating the reagents on particles, and subsequent drying of particles. Then, (i) the settling behavior and (ii) the jigging products of the spray-coated and uncoated particles were evaluated. Results provide strong evidence for the drag-reduction-related separation of spray-coated particles. Spray coating without drying can also promote separation. Selective coating of minerals is effective at jigging with slow water pulsation. However, excessive coatings will hinder the separation.

Measurement of residual stress in air plasma-sprayed Y2O3-ZrO2 thermal barrier coating system using micro-Raman spectroscopy
Tanaka, Makoto; Hasegawa, Makoto; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Kagawa, Yutaka (2006-03-15)
Residual stress in air plasma-sprayed Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 thermal barrier coating (TBC) has been measured using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The frequency shift of Raman peak from tetragonal phase (approximate to 640 cm(-1)) is used for determination of local stress in TBC. The relation between Raman peak shift and applied uniaxial stress is measured using a freestanding specimen. The relation is used to determine actual residual stress of the TBC layer coated on a stainless steel substrate. The uniaxial stre...
Preparation and characterization of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and polyisoprene solvent-cast blend films
Akinay, AE; Tincer, T (Wiley, 1998-02-28)
This study covers the preparation of noncrosslinked and crosslinked solvent-cast blend films of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and polyisoprene rubber (PIR) and their mechanical, thermal, IR spectroscopic, and morphological characterizations. Solvent-cast films of polymer blends with 0, 10, 20, 35, 50, and 65% PIR composition were prepared by vigorous stirring from a hot decalin solution. The films were crosslinked chemically by using acetophenone as a crosslinking agent under UV radiation...
Preparation and Photocatalytic Activity of Solar Light Sensitive g-C3N4/TiO2 Heterojunction Nanocomposites
Gündoğmuş, Pelin; Park, Jongee; Öztürk, Abdullah (2021-06-10)
The solar light sensitive g-C3N4/TiO2 heterojunction nanocomposites were prepared in one step hydrothermal process by growing TiO2 nanoparticles on the surfaces of g-C3N4 particles. The g-C3N4 content of the composites varied from 20 to 90 wt%. The composite containing 80 wt% g-C3N4 was additionally subjected to a regulated heat treatment at different temperatures in the range from 350 to 500 oC for 1 h to improve the photocatalytic activity. XRD, FESEM, and DRS characterization techniques were app...

Büküşoğlu, Emre; Zhou, Ye; A. Martinez-Gonzalez, Jose; Rahimi, Mohammad; Wang, Qi; de Pablo, Juan Jose; Abbott, Nicholas L (2016-01-01)
We report on the internal configurations of aqueous dispersions of droplets of cholesteric liquid crystals (LCs; 5-50 mu m-in-diameter; comprised of 4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl and 4-(1-methylheptyloxycarbonyl)-phenyl-4-hexyloxybenzoate) and their influence on the positioning of surface-adsorbed colloids (0.2 or 1 mm-in-diameter polystyrene (PS)). When N = 2D/P was less than 4, where D is the droplet diameter and P is the cholesteric pitch, the droplets adopted a twisted bipolar structure (TBS) and colloids w...
Investigating the formation of intermetallic compounds during friction stir welding of magnesium alloy to aluminum alloy in air and under liquid nitrogen
Mofid, M. A.; Abdollah-zadeh, A.; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-03-01)
This research demonstrates the use of submerged friction stir welding under liquid nitrogen as an alternative and improved method for creating fine-grained welds, and hence, to alleviate formation of intermetallic phases. Magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy were joined by friction stir welding in two environments, namely air and liquid nitrogen, with 400 rpm rotation and 50 mm/min travel speed. The temperature profile, microstructure, scanning electron microscope energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis...
