The dependence of resistivity on pressure was established for each sample. The compositional dependence of resistivity can be explained by percolation theory. The percolation threshold decreases with increasing alumina/carbon-black particle size ratio. The pressure dependence of the resistivity increases as the composition approaches the percolation threshold. When the relative composition at the percolation threshold is fixed, the sensitivity increases with increasing matrix/dispersoid initial particle size ratio. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KishimotoAkira en-aut-sei=Kishimoto en-aut-mei=Akira kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakagawaYuto en-aut-sei=Takagawa en-aut-mei=Yuto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TeranishiTakashi en-aut-sei=Teranishi en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=HayashiHidetaka en-aut-sei=Hayashi en-aut-mei=Hidetaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Molecular and Material Science, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Molecular and Material Science, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Molecular and Material Science, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Molecular and Material Science, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University en-keyword=Percolation kn-keyword=Percolation en-keyword=Piezoresistivity kn-keyword=Piezoresistivity en-keyword=Pressure sensor kn-keyword=Pressure sensor en-keyword=Particle size kn-keyword=Particle size END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=136 cd-vols= no-issue=9 article-no= start-page=2606 end-page=2608 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1988 dt-pub=19881130 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Studies on the acid-base properties of the AIBr3-NaBr melts en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=

The acid-base properties of the ZnBr[2]-NaBr melts at 623 K were investigated on the basis of the electromotive force measurements of a zinc-zinc concentration cell. The following two chemical equilibria were postulated to describe the acid-base character of the melts ZBnr[2]+Br[-]=ZnBr[3][-] K[1] ZnBr[3][-]+Br[-] =ZnBr[4][2+] K[2] The equilibrium constants K[1] and K[2], were determined to be 5.0~10, and 1.0~10[2], respectively, at 623 K

The purpose of this work is to elucidate the factors affecting the codeposition of a-alumina particles with copper from an acid copper sulfate bath. The effect of current density and particle concentration in the bath on the amount of codeposited a-alumina were determined. In order to evaluate the surface-chemical properties of the particles, the zeta-potential of a-alumina particles in the plating bath was determined by means of the streaming potential method. The amounts of adsorbed Cu 2+ and SO2( from the plating bath were also determined. The amount of codeposited a-alumina particles was found to be greater than those reported in literature, in spite of the negative zeta-potential values of a-alumina. This indicates that the electrostatic interaction between the particles and the cathode is not the essential factor of the codeposition process. It is considered that the amount of adsorbed Cu 2+ on the a-alumina particle plays an important role in the codeposition behavior.

Evaluation samples of alpha-silicon carbide ceramics were first fabricated by glass capsule HIP method using powder mixture of silicon carbide and aluminum nitride with various ratios. The resultant aluminum nitride added silicon carbide ceramics were doped with nitrogen by changing the post-HIP nitrogen gas pressure. The lattice parameter increased with the amount of adding aluminum nitride indicating that the incorporated aluminum substituted smaller silicon atoms. After post-HIP treatment, lattice parameter then decreased with nitrogen gas pressure. The piezoresistive coefficient increased with the addition of aluminum nitride, it further increased with the nitrogen doping pressure. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KishimotoAkira en-aut-sei=Kishimoto en-aut-mei=Akira kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkadaYasuyuki en-aut-sei=Okada en-aut-mei=Yasuyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=HayashiHidetaka en-aut-sei=Hayashi en-aut-mei=Hidetaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University en-keyword=HIP kn-keyword=HIP en-keyword=co-doping kn-keyword=co-doping en-keyword=donor kn-keyword=donor en-keyword=acceptor kn-keyword=acceptor en-keyword=silicon carbide kn-keyword=silicon carbide en-keyword=strain sensor kn-keyword=strain sensor END
