Application of Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy to Studies of Subsurface Zones Induced by Wear in Magnesium and Its Alloy AZ31
Interaction of sliding bodies is an important aspect of numerous applications and subject of many studies (Solecki, 1989). Generally, when two surfaces are loaded together the true contact area is much smaller than the apparent one. The true contact is only at high points or asperities of the surfaces where the interactions in the atomic scale take place. Relative movement between the surfaces leads to friction and wear processes. The rate of wear is controlled by the load, the relative velocity and the behaviour of the material near asperities. The region of asperities can be plastically deformed and the stress is transported to the deeper laying region that becomes elastically deformed (F…
Various types of polysiloxanes studied by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy
Abstract In the work, linear poly(vinylsiloxanes) with regular distributions of vinyl groups along chains, the networks obtained by their hydrosilylation with various hydrogensiloxanes, products of pyrolysis of such networks as well as the networks prepared via reaction of low-molecular siloxanes have been studied by positron anihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Based on free volume sizes determined by this method, relations between cross-link densities in the investigated systems have been established. They have been compared with the results of swelling experiments conducted in the work and to efficiency of cross-linking reaction evaluated in our previous FTIR investigations of the s…
