    Description: The work presented here shows that a solar power system can provide power on the order of one megawatt to a lunar base with a fairly high specific power. The main drawback to using solar power is still the high mass, and therefore, cost of supplying energy storage through the solar night. The use of cryogenic reactant storage in a fuel cell system, however, greatly reduces the total system mass over conventional energy storage schemes.

    Description: Recent breakthroughs in remote sensing technology have led to the development of a spaceborne high spectral resolution imaging sensor, HIRIS, to be launched in the mid-1990s for observation of earth surface features. The effects of organic carbon content on soil reflectance over the spectral range of HIRIS, and to examine the contributions of humic and fulvic acid fractions to soil reflectance was evaluated. Organic matter from four Indiana agricultural soils was extracted, fractionated, and purified, and six individual components of each soil were isolated and prepared for spectral analysis. The four soils, ranging in organic carbon content from 0.99 percent, represented various combinations of genetic parameters such as parent material, age, drainage, and native vegetation. An experimental procedure was developed to measure reflectance of very small soil and organic component samples in the laboratory, simulating the spectral coverage and resolution of the HIRIS sensor. Reflectance in 210 narrow (10 nm) bands was measured using the CARY 17D spectrophotometer over the 400 to 2500 nm wavelength range. Reflectance data were analyzed statistically to determine the regions of the reflective spectrum which provided useful information about soil organic matter content and composition. Wavebands providing significant information about soil organic carbon content were located in all three major regions of the reflective spectrum: visible, near infrared, and middle infrared. The purified humic acid fractions of the four soils were separable in six bands in the 1600 to 2400 nm range, suggesting that longwave middle infrared reflectance may be useful as a non-destructive laboratory technique for humic acid characterization.

    Notes: Ion beam mixing was used to improve the adhesion between deposited Cu film (400 Å) and polyimide (PI) substrate. Ar+ ion with the energy levels between 180 and 200 keV, and the dose between 1014 to 4 × 1016 ions/cm2 were used. The surface analyses were carried out by Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (SEM). RBS analysis, using 2 MeV He+ ions, showed mixing of Cu and FI and the mixing depended on the Ar+ energy and dose. The X-ray study showed a very broad halo for deposited Cu film but the (111) peak appeared after the Ar+ implantation and the peak increased with Ar+ ion dose. Optical micrographs showed that Cu film formed circular bubbles after many thermal cycles when adhesion was poor and fracture cracks when adhesion was good.

    Notes: Blends of an engineering thermoplastic, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and two liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) viz., copolyesters of PET and parahydrox-ybenzoic acid (PHB) in 40/60 mole percent (LCP60) and in 20/80 mole percent (LCP80) were prepared. A blend of LCP60 and LCP80 in 50/50 weight percent (LCP60-80) was blended with PET. Both flat films and rods were extruded and their properties examined. The morphology of the films investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) revealed that the LCP phase remained as dispersed droplets in the PET matrix. In spite of the lack of fibrillation in these films, the mechanical properties were enhanced to some extent with a maximum at 10 weight percent of the LCP phase. However, in the case of the rods thin fibrils of the LCP phase of the order of 1 μm in diameter were observed provided the composition of the LCP was 20 weight percent or greater. This success In achieving fibrillation is through to be due to the extensional flow fields present at the entrance of the capillary die and the fact that a short L/D ratio die was used. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) thermograms of the extruded films indicated that the LCP phase may act as a nucleating agent for the crystallization of PET. Rheology of the blends revealed that the complex viscosity of the blends is not much different from that of pure PET. This is attributed to the partial miscibility of the two components. Based on the DSC results and residence times in the extruder, it is concluded that no significant transesterification reactions appear to have: taken place in the blends. The rheology is studied further with respect to the cooling behavior of the pure components and factors important to the fibrillation of the LCP phase and the formation of in-situ reinforced composites are discussed.

    Notes: Eight commercial semiconductor grade epoxy compounds that are used to encapsulate 1C (integrated circuit) devices have been evaluated for their ability to minimize the development of thermal stresses which can cause failure during device temperature cycling. Thermal expansion, dynamic modulus and adhesion studies are used to describe the mechanical interaction between the plastic package and the silicon device it surrounds. A “figure of merit” is defined for the development of stress on the 1C device as it is cooled after the packaging process. The stress is shown to be proportional to the product of three terms: (αp-αs) Ep (Tanch-T) where αp and αs are the expansion coefficients for the plastic and silicon, respectively, Ep is the modulus of the epoxy and Tanch is the temperature at which the epoxy becomes anchored to the silicon device during transfer molding. In addition, the importance of good adhesion between the epoxy encapsulant and the silicon device to prevent package cracking has been demonstrated by finite element analysis and a novel adhesion test.

    Notes: The associated perturbed-anisotropic-chain theory (APACT) has been applied to treat multicomponent mixtures, in which components exhibit Lewis acid-base interactions. Mixtures of amphoteric molecules (such as alcohols), acidic molecules (such as chloroform), and basic molecules (such as ketones) as well as nonassociating components (diluents) are treated. The acid-base version of the perturbed-anisotropic-chain theory (ABPACT) is a closed form equation of state that takes into account explicitly dispersion interactions, polar interactions, and hydrogen bonding interactions between components that self-associate or solvate. The equation fits binary VLE mixtures quite accurately. Calculated results also are compared with those obtained from the Peng-Robinson equation of state, UNIFAC and the original APACT. In all cases where there are mixtures of associating components, the ABPACT gives a better fit of experimental data than these other equations.

    Notes: The supercooling behavior of three thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCP's), 60 mole% p-hydroxybenzoic acid and 40 mole% poly(ethyleneterephthalate), 60/40 PHB/PET, 80 mole% p-hydroxybenzoic acid and 20 mole% poly(ethyleneterephthalate), 80/20 PHB/PET and a copolyester of 73 mole% p-hydroxybenzoic acid and 27 mole% of 2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid, Vectra A900, was studied by means of both rheological and thermal methods. 60/40 PHB/PET and Vectra A900 exhibited a degree of supercooling as high as 80°C while there was only 20°C of supercooling for 80/20 PHB/PET. The degree of supercooling for the blends of 60/40 PHB/PET and 80/20 PHB/PET also decreased with the increase in 80/20 PHB/PET content. The increase in G′ as the temperature decreased was more gradual for 60/40 PHB/PET and Vectra A900 than that for 80/20 PHB/PET, which was beneficial from a processing point of view. The solidification of the LCP melt was attributed to both the crystallization and the freezing of the mesophase. The degree of crystallinity for all three TLCP's was very small, less than 5%, as measured by the DSC. It was found that both 60/40 PHB/PET and Vectra A900 showed an induction period of a few minutes during solidification while 80/20 PHB/PET solidified continuously at the test temperature. Therefore, 60/40 PHB/PET and Vectra A900 seem to be more suitable for use in processes such as blow molding and film blowing than 80/20 PHB/PET.
