BISMUTH-FUNCTIONALIZED SORBENTS FOR RADIOIODINE CAPTURE
… bismuth oxy iodide, a water insoluble compound. Carbon foam loaded with bismuth nanoparticle through electrodeposition was studied as an alternative to silica sorbents. Alternative to silica xerogel is required as humid off-gas stream as seen in Hanford legacy waste processing plant can degrade …

Development of a constrained piston method for compression testing of carbon foams
… all during a single compression test. Several carbon foams were tested using both the novel constrained method (developed herein) and the conventional unconstrained technique to compare the results. Statistical analysis has been performed on compression tests from three different carbon foams. …

Effects of Reamer-Femoral Component Offset on Cement Mantle Penetration in Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty
… made from high-density open-cell reticulated carbon foam, cement penetration was assessed from cross-sections of the foam-implant unit. Increased offset was found to decrease the extent of cement over penetration from the dome and chamfer. Increased offset also yielded optimal cement …

Thermal, Electrical, and Structural Analysis of Graphite Foam
A graphite foam was developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) by Dr. James Klett and license was granted to POCO Graphite, Inc. to manufacture and market the product as PocoFoam. Unlike many processes currently used to manufacture carbon foams, this process yields a highly graphitic …

Development of manganese oxide based nanostructures by wet chemical methods for enhanced energy storage and photocatalytic applications
… Moreover, a nanocomposite film based on Mn3O4/carbon foam was fabricated by utilizing the already developed optimized conditions and the capacitance was dramatically improved. In the later section of this work, different morphologies of Cu2O and porous Cu2O-Mn2O3 micro-nanocomposites (cubes, …

Understanding The Mechanism Of Gaseous Iodine Capture Using Sodium-Loaded Carbon Foams
… potential of using a high specific surface area carbon monolithic foam with sodium as a new approach for capturing 129I, a radioactive volatile emitted during the processing of nuclear waste. Iodine is emitted during the vitrification processing of low activity waste at the Hanford site as the …

MULTI-SCALE MECHANICS OF COMPOSITE SANDWICH STRUCTURES WITH BIOLOGICALLY INSPIRED FIBER REINFORCED FOAM CORES: A POTENTIAL TEMPLATE FOR DEVELOPING MULTIFUNCTIONAL STRUCTURES
… composite structures have been fabricated using carbon fiber reinforcement in the foam core to translate the mechanics principles of Palmetto wood. The sandwich composite structures with bioinspired foam core and standard foam core have been characterized under quasi-static and dynamic …

Thermal Characterization of Graphitic Carbon Foams for Use in Thermal Storage Applications
<p>Highly conductive graphitic foams are currently being studied for use as thermal conductivity enhancers (TCEs) in thermal energy storage (TES) systems. TES systems store energy using the latent heat capacity of phase change materials (PCMs). Due to the low thermal conductivity of most PCMs, TCEs …
