Polyetherimide foams filled with low content of graphene nanoplatelets prepared by scCO2 dissolution [PDF]
Polyetherimide (PEI) foams with graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) were prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) dissolution. Foam precursors were prepared by melt-mixing PEI with variable amounts of ultrasonicated GnP (0.1–2.0 wt %) and foamed by one ...

Numerical Investigation of the Transient Behavior of a Hot Gas Duct under Rapid Depressurization
A hot gas duct is an indispensable component for the nuclear-process heat applications of the Very-High-Temperature Reactor (VHTR), which has to fulfill three requirements: to withstand high temperature, high pressure, and large pressure transient.

Experimental evidence of new tetragonal polymorphs of silicon formed through ultrafast laser-induced confined microexplosion [PDF]
Ordinary materials can transform into novel phases at extraordinary high pressure and temperature. The recently developed method of ultrashort laser-induced confined microexplosions initiates a non-equilibrium disordered plasma state.
