    摘要: A method for assembling patterned crystalline arrays of colloidal particles using ultraviolet illumination of an optically-sensitive semiconducting anode while using the anode to apply an electronic field to the colloidal particles. The ultraviolet illumination increases current density, and consequently, the flow of the colloidal particles. As a result, colloidal particles can be caused to migrate from non-illuminated areas of the anode to illuminated areas of the anode. Selective illumination of the anode can also be used to permanently affix colloidal crystals to illuminated areas of the anode while not affixing them to non-illuminated areas of the anode.

    摘要: A process directed to preparing surfactant-polycrystalline inorganic nanostructured materials having designed microscopic patterns. The process includes forming a polycrystalline inorganic substrate having a flat surface and placing in contact with the flat surface of the substrate a surface having a predetermined microscopic pattern. An acidified aqueous reacting solution is then placed in contact with an edge of the surface having the predetermined microscopic pattern. The solution wicks into the microscopic pattern by capillary action. The reacting solution has an effective amount of a silica source and an effective amount of a surfactant to produce a mesoscopic silica film upon contact of the reacting solution with the flat surface of the polycrystalline inorganic substrate and absorption of the surfactant into the surface. Subsequently an electric field is applied tangentially directed to the surface within the microscopic pattern. The electric field is sufficient to cause electro-osmotic fluid motion and enhanced rates of fossilization by localized Joule heating.

    摘要: Low-density composites are produced consisting chiefly of boron carbide and aluminum, or aluminum alloy, and minor amounts of ceramic material. The method allows control of the rate of reaction between boron carbide and metal so that the final components of the composite, and hence the mechanical properties, are controlled. The invention includes modification of the carbon content of the boron carbide composition, dispersion of boron carbide and formation of a compact, infiltration of the compact by aluminum or aluminum alloy, and heat treatments. The invention produces low-density boron carbide-aluminum composites with a homogeneous microstructure possessing desired mechanical properties.
