Synthesis and graphitization of phenolic resins for carbon-containing refractory applications
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-02-03)
Carbon-containing refractories’ (CCRs) present special chemical and thermomechanical properties, which depend on the presence of carbonaceous phase with a structure similar to those of graphite. However, phenolic resins ...
Estabilidade e habilidade de formação de vidros óxidos
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-03-02)
The glass-forming ability (GFA) is a measure of the easiness of vitrification of a liquid during cooling from the liquidus temperature. The GFA is inversely proportional to the critical cooling rate (Rc), whose determination ...
Influência dos contornos de grãos nas propriedades elétricas de hematita policristalina modificada com diferentes elementos químicos
