Thermal Expansion, Burns Temperature and Electromechanical Properties in Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-SrTiO3-PbTiO3Solid Solutions
2011
Thermal expansion and electromechanical properties are studied for compositions Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-SrTiO3-PbTiO3, belonging to various locations in the phase diagram. The main purpose of the studies is to extend the range of physical properties, which characterise the relaxor state and could be used for comparison with other relaxors. Possibility to evaluate Burns temperature from thermal expansion is discussed. The obtained results are compared to the well-know relaxor ferroelectric PLZT.
Intercalation of decamethylferrocenium cations in bimetallic oxalate-bridged two-dimensional magnets
1997
The structure and magnetic properties of novel hybrid molecule-based magnets formed by combination of two magnetically active sublattices, the bimetallic oxalatobridged honeycomb net [MnIIMIII(ox)3] (MII = Mn, Fe, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu; MIII = Cr, Fe) and the organometallic cation decamethylferrocenium, are reported.

Performance of asphalt mixes with high recycling rates for wearing layers
2016
The corresponding paper presents selected results of a research on the feasibility of going toward 100% recycling of asphalt pavements into surface courses through an increasing percentage of RA within the mixes. The research is carried out within a two-year CEDR Transnational Road Research project, AllBack2Pave, led by the Technische Universitaet Dresden (Germany), together with the University of Nottingham (UK) and the University of Palermo (Italy), and finalised in January 2016. The main objectives of the project are - to establish, through laboratory tests on binders and asphalt mixes, whether the use of high rates of RA is feasible in developing mixes with high level of durability, and…
One step continuous hydrothermal synthesis of very fine stabilized superparamagnetic nanoparticles of magnetite
2011
International audience; Stable suspensions of citrated SPIO nanoparticles were synthesised in one step using a hydrothermal continuous process. Citrates control the crystallite size and the oxidation degree of metallic ions despite the very short reaction time (4 s). Magnetite particles, Fe2.94O4, with an average size of 4 nm and good monodispersity were obtained.
Linear and nonlinear fractional hereditary constitutive laws of asphalt mixtures
2016
The aim of this paper is to propose a fractional viscoelastic and viscoplastic model of asphalt mixtures using experimental data of several tests such as creep and creep recovery performed at different temperatures and at different stress levels. From a best fitting procedure it is shown that both the creep one and recovery curve follow a power law model. It is shown that the suitable model for asphalt mixtures is a dashpot and a fractional element arranged in series. The proposed model is also available outside of the linear domain but in this case the parameters of the model depend on the stress level.
Influence of bio-based additives on RAP clustering and asphalt binder rheology
2017
The use of high Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) content in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) allows developing innovative materials for the construction and/or rehabilitation of sustainable infrastructures. The chemo-physical phenomena occurring during production of HMA containing high RAP content should be investigated and considered for the mix design optimization. In fact, when additives are used as rejuvenators of the aged bitumen, these phenomena can be affected causing significant variations in the mixture characteristics. This paper aims at studying the influence of two bio-based additives specifically on RAP clustering, phenomena which can significantly affect the performance of high-content R…
NEUTRON IRRADIATION EFFECTS IN PZ and PZT THIN FILMS
2005
ABSTRACT Neutron irradiation effects on highly oriented antiferroelectric PbZrO3 (PZ) and ferroelectric PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3 (PZT) thin films are investigated in view of their possible application as a temperature sensitive element in a new bolometer system for fusion devices like ITER. All investigated thin films were prepared by a sol-gel technique and by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) respectively. The dielectric properties were investigated in a frequency range from 1 to 250 kHz and at temperatures up to 400°C, prior to and after irradiation to a neutron fluence of 3 * 1022 m−2 (E > 0.1 MeV). After irradiation, the films were anneald in several steps up to 400°C in order to remove the radiat…
Experimental validation of a fractional model for creep/recovery testing of asphalt mixtures
2012
Abstract Prediction of asphalt mixtures’ behavior during their service life is a challenge due to its complexity and sensitivity to environmental and loading conditions. It has been proved that, when subjected to loading conditions comparable with most pavement operating conditions, asphalt mixtures behave as linear visco-elastic (LVE) materials. Traditionally the LVE behavior of bituminous material is modeled via creep/recovery functions. In the past, several rheological models constituted by elastic and viscous elements arranged in series or in parallel (analogical models) have been proposed and specified for both bitumen and asphalt mixtures. The corresponding constitutive laws always in…
An all-organic steroid–D–π-A modular design drives ferroelectricity in supramolecular solids and nano-architectures at RT
2011
Confluence of a modular design approach and self-assembly with a 'steroid-D-π-A' module generates spontaneous polarization in solids and for the first time in nano-architectures constituted from organogels, at room temperature (RT).
Structural characterization of relaxor ferroelectric PbMg 1/3 Nb 2/3 O 3 -PbTiO 3 thin film heterostructures deposited by pulsed laser ablation
2000
Highly oriented and epitaxial films of relaxor ferroelectric PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) with a composition (68/32) near the morphotropic phase boundary were deposited by pulsed laser ablation on La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 bottom electrodes, deposited on MgO (100) and LaAlO3 (100). The formation of crystalline phases, epitaxy, film–electrode–substrate orientation relationships and crystal perfection were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The structural properties were found to depend on the deposition conditions and substrate. Correlation of both the dielectric and relaxor properties in the heterostructures and the structural properties of the PMN-PT films was observed.
