Solid Shell (solid + shell)
Selected AbstractsModelling of Hot Ductility during Solidification of Steel Grades in Continuous Casting , Part II,ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATERIALS, Issue 3 2010Bernd Böttger In continuous casting, the probability of hot cracks developing strongly depends on the local solidification process and the microstructure formation. In ref. 1, an integrative model for hot cracking of the initial solid shell is developed. This paper focuses on solidification modelling, which plays an important role in the integrated approach. Solidification is simulated using a multiphase-field model, coupled online to thermodynamic and diffusion databases and using an integrated 1D temperature solver to describe the local temperature field. Less-complex microsegregation models are discussed for comparison. The results are compared to EDX results from strand samples of different steel grades.

H. Cao Abstract Nanocapsules with an oily core and an organic/inorganic hybrid shell were elaborated by miniemulsion (co)polymerization of styrene, divinylbenzene, ,-methacryloyloxy propyl trimethoxysilane, and N -isopropyl acrylamide. The hybrid copolymer shell membrane was formed by polymerization-induced phase separation at the interface of the oily nanodroplets with water. It was shown that the size, size distribution, and colloidal stability of the miniemulsion droplets were extremely dependent on the nature of the oil phase, the monomer content and the surfactant concentration. The less water-soluble the hydrocarbon template and the higher the monomer content, the better the droplet stability. The successful formation of nanocapsules with the targeted core-shell morphology (i.e., a liquid core surrounded by a solid shell) was evidenced by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. Both nanocapsules and nanoparticles were produced by polymerization of the miniemulsion droplets. The proportion of nanoparticles increased with increasing monomer concentration in the oil phase. These undesirable nanoparticles were presumably formed by homogeneous nucleation as we showed that micellar nucleation could be neglected under our experimental conditions even for high surfactant concentrations. The introduction of ,-methacryloyloxy propyl trimethoxysilane was considered to be the main reason for homogeneous nucleation. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Zoldesi New types of monodisperse, micrometer-sized, hollow particles (see Figure) are obtained by encapsulation of emulsion droplets in solid shells and dissolution of the cores. A facile fabrication method is used in which, by simply tuning the thickness of the shells, different types of particles with tunable properties are obtained.

Abstract Approaches to the formation of molecularly and atomically thin solid shells based on the transformation of thin planar films into more functional 3D precise shells are outlined. In the overview part of the present work several examples are given illustrating the possibility to obtain in bent films new effects never observed in planar films and to fabricate new nanomaterials from highly , ordered systems of interacting hybrid shells. In the original part of the article, we demonstrate the formation of nanoshells from monoatomic graphite layers, graphene, and also show the possibility of controllable detachment of graphene from graphite substrates with the help of AFM.
