Synthesis, characterization, and applications of CVD micro- and nanocrystalline diamond thin filmsXu, Zhenqing 01 June 2007 (has links)
In this thesis, a systematic study has been carried out on the synthesis, characterization and applications of microcrystalline diamond (MCD) and nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin films deposited by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Firstly, an overview of diamond films synthesized from carbon-containing gas plasmas is presented. A parameter study was performed to grow diamond thin films. The transition from micro- to nanocrystallinity of diamond grains was achieved by controlling the Ar/Hydrogen gas ratio. The nanocrystallinity is the result of a new growth mechanism which involves the insertion of carbon dimmer into carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. Secondly, characterization of diamond films has been carried out by different techniques including electron microscopy, near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), nanoindentation, and Raman spectroscopy.
Unique properties of NCD, compared to those of MCD grown by conventional hydrogen rich plasma, have been observed and investigated. Thirdly, various applications of diamond films are discussed: a). Well-adhered MCD coatings have been deposited on WC-Co substrates with proper surface pretreatment. A diffusion barrier Cr/CrN/Cr was deposited on the cemented carbide substrate and the substrate was short peened with 150 micron friable diamond powders to achieve higher nucleation density and stronger adhesion strength; b). A nitrogen doped NCD based biosensor was fabricated for glucose sensing. Carboxyl functional group and conducting polymer (polyaniline) have been utilized respectively to electrochemically functionalize the diamond surface. A linear response to glucose concentration has been obtained from the electrode with good sensitivity and stability; c). A novel approach to synthesize NCD wires has been developed for the first time.
The NCD coating was successfully coated on Si nanowires (SiNWs) to form NCD wire with diameter around a few microns. This study opens a whole new area for applications based on diamond wires such as neural transmission electrodes, field emission emitters, and electrochemical electrodes with improved properties

Metabolic syndrome marker cut-off points and target organ damage revisited in an urban South African cohort : the SABPA study / Svelka HoebelHoebel, Svelka January 2012 (has links)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of MetS among
different African populations using the new Joint Statement Criteria. Hereafter we
aimed to determine whether waist or neck circumference is the best predictor of
MetS risk after ethnic, gender and age-specific cut-points were developed. Lastly, we
aimed to determine whether afore-mentioned cut-point can predict
albumin:creatinine ratio as a marker of target organ damage. Methods: The study
sample (N=409) comprised of urban African (men, N=101; women, N=99) and
Caucasian (men, N=101; women, N=108) teachers from the Dr. Kenneth Kaunda
Education district in the North-West Province, South Africa. Participants were aged
between 25 and 65 years. Anthropometric measurements, albumin:creatinine ratio
and other markers of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) (systolic and diastolic blood
pressure [SBP and DBP], glucose, triglycerides [TG] and high density lipoprotein
[HDL]) were determined. Results: Africans (65 and 63 % for men and women) and
Caucasian men (73%) showed high prevalence of MetS; ROC analysis determined
neck circumference (NC) cut-points of 39 and 35 cm for young and older African
men, 32 and 35 cm for young and older African women, 40 and 41 cm for Caucasian
men and 34 and 33 cm for Caucasian women. This NC cut-point can be used to
determine metabolic syndrome risk in all groups, except in African women; ROC
developed waist circumference (WC) cut-points were 91 cm for all African male
groups, 84, 81 and 84 cm for young, older and total group of African women.
Suggested WC cut-points for Caucasian men were 93 cm for the young group and
97 cm for older as well as total Caucasian male groups, while cut-points for
Caucasian women were 87 cm, 79 cm and 84 cm for young, older and total
Caucasian women. These WC cut-points were good measures of metabolic
syndrome risk in all groups; neither cut-point of WC nor NC could increase the risk of
albumin:creatinine ratio. Conclusion: African women as a group present with few
MetS risk factors and glucose is associated with renal function risk in Africans; NC
cut-points may be used as an additional anthropometric marker to predict the
metabolic syndrome in a South African cohort, but not in African women; WC cutpoints
demonstrated to be good predictors of the metabolic syndrome in the same South African cohort, especially among men; WC would seem to be the best
measure of MetS risk in all African populations, although NC can also be used for
this purpose in all African populations, except in African women. / Thesis (PhD (Human Movement Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012

ni?bio como inibidor de crescimento de gr?o. O efeito da press?o de compacta??o e da
temperatura de sinteriza??o dos p?s preparados por moagem e mistura mec?nica na
densidade tamb?m foram estudados. P?s de WC, Cu e Nb, na raz?o de 80, 20 e 2 por
cento em massa, respectivamente, foram preparados por moagem e, tamb?m, por
mistura mec?nica. A moagem dos p?s comp?sitos foi realizada a seco sob atmosfera
ambiente com um recipiente e bolas de metal duro em um moinho attritor. Os p?s foram
mo?dos a 900 rpm durante 90 minutos e sob uma raz?o de massa p? para bolas de
1:100. Compactos de p?s com forma cil?ndricas foram prensados a 200, 400 e 600
MPa em uma matriz de a?o uniaxial de 8 mm de
di?metro. Os corpos verdes foram sinterizados nas temperaturas de 1030 ?C e 1150 ?C

resistance. This composite is chemically and thermally very stable at high temperatures,
as well as having excellent thermal and electrical conductivity properties. These
promising features make for the manufacture of high-power electrical contact parts,
welding electrodes, magnetic field conductors, thermal and electrical management devices.
This work investigates the effect of high energy milling on the densification and
microstructure of the composites WC-20% Cu and WC-18% Cu-2% Nb as well
as an influence of the addition of niobium as a grain growth inhibitor. The effect of the
compacting pressure and the sintering temperature of the powders prepared by milling
and mechanical mixing in the density were also studied. WC, Cu and Nb powders in the
ratio of 80, 20 and 2 percent by mass, respectively, were prepared by milling and also
mechanical mixing. The powder mixture were mechanically alloyed in a attritor ball mil in
a dry environment. The powders were milled at 900 rpm, with a mass to powder ratio of
1: 100 balls for 1.5 hours, and pressed at 200, 400 and 600 MPa in a uniaxial matrix with
8mm diameter. The green bodies were sintered at temperatures of 1030 ?C and 1150 ?

the crystalline phase due to milling, and inhibition of grain growth, both at temperatures,
in the samples with Nb. Higher compaction pressure and higher sintering temperature
show better results for densification of the material.

Currently, carbides and metals are added to hard metal in order to increase the sinterability of the material, and consequently their hardness and toughness. In this study, the effects of different amount of Ni and sintering parameters (sintering temperatures and holding time) on properties of sintered WC-Ni were studied. The sintered products were obtained via powder metallurgy processing steps, in which powders of tungsten carbide (WC) with 5 and 15 wt% Nickel (Ni) were milled in a planetary high energy ball milling for 8 hours. Then, the particulate powders were compacted into a cylindrical die with 5 mm in diameter under a uniaxial load of 300 MPa. Sintering of the green samples was carried out at 1350 and 1450?C with holding time of 30 and 90 minutes, in resistance furnace and at 1350? C, with 30 and 90 minutes holding time in vacuum furnace. Starting (WC and Ni) and milled powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Sintered samples were also characterized by SEM, EDS and microhardness measurements. Hardness results were higher for WC-5 wt% Ni sintered in the resistance furnace at 1450 ? C with 30 and 90 minutes holding time (1078.6 and 1246.1 Hv respectively). WC-5wt% Ni Samples sintered in vacuum furnace at 1350 ?C with 30 to 90 minutes holding time obtained a higher microhardness compared to ones sintered in the resistance furnace at 1350 ?C with holding time of 30 and 90 minutes.

It was determined a procedure for obtaining the compositions, by calculation of balancing resulting in the amount of cobalt and nickel needed to transform a composite commercial 94WC-6Co in hard metals mentioned. After this procedure was added to 1.5% of lubricant, in a blender "Y". Analyzed in a scanning electron microscope the homogeneity of the compositions. It was determined the density, the compressibility curve and compress the samples carbide yielding green densities. We calculated the pre-sintering and determined the densities of pre-sintered parts, performed in compression test and it was obtained machining parameters in milling operation and drilling of the specimens pre-sintered. The sintering was performed at various times in the two resistive furnaces and atmospheres in three different control. Were determined fast corners and used sintering temperatures of 1360, 1400, 1420, and 1450 º C for various compositions of carbide. To analyze the efficiency of mixing was performed to test the samples sintered density, hardness, hardness, metallography, electron micrograph, EDS, linear and volumetric shrinkage and compression. After the characterization of materials was designed and manufactured tools of compaction, compacted, sintered and ground a ring of mechanical seal.
