7. Non-stoichiometric oxides for energy storage and transformation: structure and dynamics for low temperature anisotropic oxygen ion diffusion

Mr Julian Evans (Université Montpellier 2/Kyoto University)

Non-stoichiometric, oxygen-deficient perovskites have been proposed as a potential electrolyte in solid oxide fuel cells, since they can theoretically operate at a lower temperature than current materials. The main structure of interest is the brownmillerite structure ABO2.5, where A is typically calcium or strontium and B is iron or cobalt. This structure undergoes a reversible topotactic...

28. Study of biocomposite materials for automotive applications

Mr Davidson LÜTKENHAUS (Fiat Research Center, Fiat Group, Italy; and Department of Chemistry, University of Turin, Italy.)

Polymer composites have been the dominant emerging materials over the past decades. The huge amount of composites applications have steadily enlarged and accordingly they are conquering new markets. Natural-fiber-reinforced composites are within a class of biocomposites that is arising as a viable alternative to the regular glass-fiber-reinforced composites, especially for automotive...

17. Modification of Delamination Properties of Mica by new Synthesis Pathways

Shiyi Sun (LMU München)

Metal oxide-hydroxide coated mica is widely used for pearlescent vehicle pigments in industry. To produce a pigment with thinner layer, we need to prepare a better delaminating mica flake base. In our study, two kinds of mica and two series of synthetic mica samples between them are prepared by the simple one-step mixing, melting and crystallizing method. The sample A is with the composition...
