We have made a new determination of the structure of liquid aluminum oxide over a wide temperature range, including the supercooled region, using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Measurements were ...

Assessment of the surface reactivity of natural metal-(hydr)oxide nanoparticles is necessary for predicting ion adsorption phenomena in soils using surface complexation modeling. Here, we describe how ...

The grinding process is defined as an abrasive cutting action of a tool known as grinding wheel, which is submitted to high rotations, promoting excellent finishing and accuracy in dimensions, ...

Epoxy resins are often used as dielectric encapsulants for transformer windings. While their dielectric properties are outstanding, they lack thermal conductivity and suffer under substantial ...

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the dielectric characteristics of polyethylene/aluminum oxide nanocomposites is reported in the present work. Nanocomposite specimens with a thickness of 0.2 mm ...
