A Virtual Instrument for Measuring the Piezoelectric Coefficients of a Thin Disc in Radial Resonant Mode by Francisco Javier Jiménez, Amador M. González, Lorena Pardo, Manuel Vázquez-Rodríguez, Pilar Ochoa, Bernardino González

“…In this paper, we describe and present a <i>Virtual Instrument</i>, a tool that allows the determination of the electromechanical, dielectric, and elastic coefficients in polarised ferroelectric ceramic discs (piezoceramics) in the linear range, including all of the losses when the piezoceramics are vibrating in radial mode. There is no evidence in the recent scientific literature of any automatic system conceived and implemented as a <i>Virtual Instrument</i> based on an iterative algorithm issued as an alternative to solve the limitations of the ANSI IEEE 176 standard for the characterisation of piezoelectric coefficients of thin discs in resonant mode. …”

Pathways to Green Perspectives: Production and Characterization of Polylactide (PLA) Nanocomposites Filled with Superparamagnetic Magnetite Nanoparticles by Marius Murariu, Armando Galluzzi, Yoann Paint, Oltea Murariu, Jean-Marie Raquez, Massimiliano Polichetti, Philippe Dubois

“…The characterization of nanocomposites was focused on the differences of the rheology and morphology, modification, and improvements in the thermal properties using surface treated NPs, while the superparamagnetic behavior was confirmed by VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer) measurements. The PLA−magnetite nanocomposites had strong magnetization properties at low magnetic field (values close to 70% of M_max at H = 0.2 T), while the maximum magnetic signal (M_max) was mainly determined by the loading of the nanofiller, without any significant differences linked to the surface treatment of MNPs. …”
