Single-crystal strontium iodide (SrI2) doped with relatively high levels (e.g., 3 6%) of Eu2+ exhibits characteristics that make this material superior, in a number of respects, to other scintillators that are currently used for radiation detection.
Still, says California Department of Transportation chief deputy director Jim Roberts, the materials' superior durability could make them worth the expense, not only for bridges but also for highway decking in areas where ice and salt readily do in steel and concrete.
It is shown that the interfacial reaction between the component polymers contributes to the formation of super-tough PLA materials, superior to benchmark acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resins.
These results imply that the doping of boron into graphene lattice induces remarkable performance enhancement, and thus make the doped materials superior to those of pristine graphene as electrode materials for supercapacitors.
The strengthening of existing reinforced concrete structures using fiber reinforced polymers (FRP's) as externally bonded reinforcement is gaining increasing attention due to the materials superior mechanical properties and light weight.
Amongst the composites, the ingot metallurgy processed material exhibited superior modulus and ductility while powder metallurgy processed material exhibited superior yield strength and ultimate tensile strength.
The prepared anchoring material has superior performance.
"These," he said, referring to his Ankoles, "the genetic material is superior".
This composite material shows superior stability and reusability.
However, in stress controlled situations the superaustenitic material is superior.
Nevertheless, Dr. King said he still used some CryoLife products for repairing knees because he believed that the material was superior to what other companies made.
