THE EFFECT OF MICROSTRUCTURE ON THE PHOTOCATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF TiO2 Shahab Khameneh Asl1,2,a*, M.
The goal of this work was to modify the photocatalytic properties of nano-crystalline TiO2 powders by wet chemical routes and hydrothermal methods to understand the mechanism leading to these modifications The principal factors that influence the photocatalytic properties are on the one hand the concentration and nature of the chemical and physical conditions in TiO2, and on the other hand the morphology of the powders.
The photo catalytically properties in batch or CRS mode were measured in room temperature.
The resultant photocatalytic activity is dominated by the balance among these factors.
Thus, suitable bulk and surface properties, and energy structure are required for photocatalysts.

Explosive driven rapid fracture in a structural body will be preceded by a compression process, and the compression effects on mechanical properties of the materials are clearly important to understand shock-induced failure such as spall or fragmentation phenomena.
Measured mechanical properties of the recovered specimens reveal remarkable changes from those of the virgin materials, giving some considerations on the dynamic fracture [2-4, 7] induced by shocks.
Mechanical Properties of Recovered Plates and Discussions Microhardness.
It is noticeable that this tendency almost corresponds with the data of Fig. 8, where the ratio of the products of fεσ ⋅2.0 in Eq. 4 of precompressed specimens to those for virgin materials are 63.9% (A2017), 84.6% (A2017/AT-attached) and 122.4% (304SS), although cylinder fragmentation phenomenon must be affected by some other factors.

The retainer bearing will be misaligned for mechanical errors, which leads to the uneven air gap of AMB and affects the performance of AMB.
But in fact, the axis of AMBs and retainer bearings will not be coincident for mechanical machining and assembling errors[3], which will affect AMB performance for the uneven air gap distribution.
Commonly, the factor t is from 1 to 9[9].
(2) The smaller the factor t is and the bigger the factor e1 is, the more severe variations of Ke/K and ξe/ξo are.

Flake silver powder has attracted tremendous interesting due to its specially electrical and optical properties.
Currently, mechanical milling is the main method to industrially produce flake silver powder.
Any changes in reaction conditions would affect the shape of silver particles.
Factors influencing the generation mechanism of flake silver particles The shape of the silver particles is decided by internal and external factors.
Conclusions The shape of silver particles is mainly influenced by external factors.

Many factors such as matting agents, formulation composition, and curing conditions affect the gloss of the coating, therefore, it is difficult to obtain the desired matt gloss of UV curable coating [6].
Therefore, it is required to improve the resistance to liquid properties and mechanical properties and reduce the gloss of the UV curable coatings.
However, very few studies have been carried out on the gloss, resistance to liquid properties and mechanical properties of wood flooring UV coatings.
Orthogonal tests were applied to analyze the influence of the three factors on the properties of modified wood flooring UV coatings performance.
The resistance to liquid properties, mechanical properties and gloss of wood flooring UV coatings depends strongly on the content of nano-silica.

Phase Composition of Ti Note that the phase composition of the alloy affects not only the mechanical properties [18], but also the processes of interaction with gases.
The transition temperature [21], alloying with oxygen [22, 23] or nitrogen [24] determine the microstructure of the alloy, which affects its mechanical properties [25] and heat treatment modes [26, 27].
Several factors affect the hardness of the material, the concentration of substituted and embedded elements, microstructure, grain size, phase types, crystallographic orientation in which deformation occurs, and the type of processing [28, 29].

Procedures no.2 studied the factors affecting surface roughness in the aluminum face milling process by using completely randomized factorial designs with 5 repeated treatments for reducing the variation of sampling.
Table 2 and Fig. 3 revealed that the main factors affecting the surface roughness of aluminum were feed rate and speed with tendency of higher surface roughness when feed rate and speed increase from 1,300 to 1,800 mm/min and 3,200 to 4,200 rpm respectively.
Fig. 4 shows that it has not the other factors to affect with the surface roughness.
The other factors were dependent affect the surface roughness.
