TL;DR: In this article, the performance of Si nanoparticles as anode material in lithium ion batteries was investigated and it was found that the piranha pre-treatment before introduction of silane agent provided more stable cycling performance for all sizes tested.

TL;DR: In this article, phase constituents and transformations of TBCs with CeO 2 -stabilized ZrO 2 (CSZ; 16-26 wt% CeO2 ) have been investigated using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

TL;DR: In this paper, an L25 orthogonal array was created with three parameters independent of particle velocity considered thus to be the independent thermal parameters (ITPs) of LACS: powder feed rate, raster speed, and laser power.

TL;DR: The proceedings of the second conference on Environmental Degradation of Engineering Materials held at Virginia Polytechnic Institute on September 21-23, 1981 have been published in this paper, which describes fatigue and corrosion fatigue, liquid metal embrittlement, nuclear environment effects, degradation of composites and polymers, stress corrosion cracking and both analytical and experimental attempts to simulate or model the process of degradation.

TL;DR: In this article, a model is developed to allow converting dilatometric strains that occur during the continuous cooling transformation (CCT) of austenite to martensite to volume fraction Martensite formed in powder metallurgy steels.
