  2. 1. Laser processing of Silica based glass

    Author : Patrik Holmberg; Fredrik Laurell; Valerio Pruneri; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fiber Bragg Gratings; photosensitivity; Glass; laser machining; optical fibers; fiber sensor; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : The main topic of this thesis work is photosensitivity and photo-structuring of optical fibers and bulk glass. Although research in the field of photosensitivity in glass and optical fibers has been ongoing for more than three decades, the underlying mechanisms are still not well understood. READ MORE

    Author : Johan Bylin; Gunnar K. Pálsson; Ralph H. Scheicher; Gabriella Andersson; Astrid Pundt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metallic glass; hydrogen; thin film; density functional theory; stochastic quenching; molecular dynamics; x-ray diffraction; pair distribution function; neutron reflectometry; volume expansion; elastic hydrogen-hydrogen interaction; dipole force tensor; electronic structure; optical conductivity; resistivity; optical transmission; x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; thermodynamic driving force; Gibbs free energy; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : Combining theoretical ab initio calculations with high-purity thin film sample synthesis and in situ measurements is a compelling way to bridge the gap in our understanding concerning hydrogen in metallic glasses, which is the primary work of this dissertation thesis. The main emphasis has been on how hydrogen affects the structure of metallic glasses, and how those changes influence not only the electronic properties of the amorphous metals but also their thermal stability.

    Abstract : In thisproject, solubility of butyl paraben in 7 puresolvents and 5 ethanol aqueous solvents has been determined at from 1 ℃to 50 ℃. Thermodynamic properties of butyl paraben have been measured by DifferentialScanning Calorimetey. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effect of hydration on thermodynamic, rheological and structural properties of mucin

    Author : Yana Znamenskaya; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : mucous gel; mucus; mucin; PGM; BSM; BSM chitosan multilayers; hydration; water sorption isotherm; relative humidity; water activity; bound water; enthalpy of hydration of biopolymer; glass transition; rheology; phase diagram; fiber-like structure; dumbbell-like structure; sorption calorimetry; DSC; QCM-D; SAXS; AFM;

    Abstract : Mucus, an adherent hydrated layer covering the epithelium, is found in all internal tracts of the body and plays an important role in animal and human life. One of the essential functions of mucus is protection of tissues against dehydration. READ MORE

  7. 5. Designing metallic glasses : Alloying, properties, and degrees of freedom

    Author : Maciej Kaplan; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Gunnar Pálsson; Jochen Schneider; Susanne Norgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amorphous alloys; enthalpy of mixing; glass formation; thermal stability; thermodynamics; mechanical properties; corrosion resistance; hydrogen;

    Abstract : The present design rules for metallic glasses with respect to glass formation, thermal stability (resistance to crystallisation), and material properties can still be improved. A main design rule is to use thermodynamic calculations to determine the composition of eutectic points in the phase space. READ MORE
