Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) is a thermal analysis technique that measures dimensional changes at a micrometer scale, such as deformation, in a material’s properties against time or temperature ...

When temperatures increase, most materials tend to expand, causing a change in material dimensions. When two materials that exhibit different thermal expansion behaviors are in direct contact, such as ...

The remarkable framework flexibility is one of the most important advantages of porous coordination polymers (PCPs) or metal–organic frameworks, which allows the host structures to be altered by ...

π-stacking in ground-state dimers/trimers/tetramers of N-butoxyphenyl(naphthalene)diimide (BNDI) exceeds 50 kcal · mol−1 in strength, drastically surpassing that for the *3[pyrene]₂ excimer (∼30 kcal ...

Salt decay is one of the harshest, most frequent, and more complex types of decay of porous materials in built heritage, including natural stones, ceramics, and mortars. In this article, we address ...

Yamaha Motor has been granted a patent for a linear conveyor system that includes a transfer slider, a frame with a rail for the slider to move along, and two support members. The system also features ...
