  • Thermal Shock
    TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS Thermal Shock Objective: To illustrate thermal expansion and thermal shock. Background Information: In physics, thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in volume or pressure when heated. For liquids and solids, the amount of expansion will normally vary depending on the material’s coefficient of thermal expansion. When materials contract, tensile forces are created. When things expand, compressive forces are created. Thermal shock is the name given to cracking as a result of rapid temperature change. From the laboratory standpoint, there are three main types of glass used today: borosilicate, quartz, and soda lime or flint glass. Borosilicate glass is made to withstand thermal shock better than most other glass through a combination of reduced expansion coefficient and greater strength, though fused quartz outperforms it in both respects. Some glass-ceramic materials include a controlled proportion of material with a negative expansion coefficient, so that the overall coefficient can be reduced to almost exactly zero over a reasonably wide range of temperatures. Improving the shock resistance of glass and ceramics can be achieved by improving the strength of the materials or by reducing its tendency to uneven expansion. One example of success in this area is Pyrex, the brand name that is well known to most consumers as cookware, but which is also used to manufacture laboratory glassware. Pyrex traditionally is made with a borosilicate glass with the addition of boron, which prevents shock by reducing the tendency of glass to expand. Demo description: Three different types of glass rods will be heated so that students can observe the amount of thermal shock that occurs.

  • The Walman Optical Perspective on High Index Lenses
    Optical Perspective of Polycarbonate Material JP Wei, Ph. D. November 2011 Introduction Among the materials developed for eyeglasses, polycarbonate is one that has a number of very unique properties and provides real benefits to eyeglass wearers. Polycarbonate lenses are not only cosmetically thinner, lighter, and provide superior impact-resistance, but also produce sharp optical clarity for both central and peripheral vision. It is well-known that as the index of refraction increases dispersion also increases. In other words, the higher the refractive index, the low the ABBE value. An increase in dispersion will cause an increase in chromatic aberration. Therefore, one of the concerns in the use of lens materials such as polycarbonate is: will chromatic aberration negatively affect patient adaption? MID 1.70 LENS MATERIAL CR39 TRIVEX INDEX POLYCARBONATE 1.67 INDEX INDEX REFRACTIVE INDEX 1.499 1.529 1.558 1.586 1.661 1.700 ABBE VALUES 58 45 37 30 32 36 The refractive index of a material is often abbreviated “n.” Except for air, which has a refractive index of approximately 1, the refractive index of most substances is greater than 1 (n > 1). Water, for instance, has a refractive index of 1.333. The higher the refractive index of a lens material, the slower the light will travel through it. While it is commonly recognized that high index materials will have greater chromatic aberration than CR-39 or low refractive index lenses, there has been no quantification of the amount of visual acuity loss that results from chromatic aberration. The purpose of this paper is to review the optical properties of polycarbonate material, its advantages over other lens materials, and the impact of chromatic aberration caused by the relative low ABBE value of the material on vision and clinical significance.

  • Assessing Next-Generation Construction Helmets
    Assessing Next-Generation May 2018 Construction Helmets The KASK - Zenith and Superplasma Helmets Skanska’s Advancement In Head Protection Pilot Program Current Status Currently, Skanska uses the MSA V-Gard as its primary choice of hard hat head protection. This hard hat was introduced to the US 56 years ago. The V Guard (and all other regular styles of hard hats) primarily protects against objects striking the crown of a person’s head. This type of head protection offers minimal, if any protection to the front, rear and sides of the head. Comparatively, head protection such as the KASK helmet (not a hard hat) offers much more protection. Although it is listed as Type I head protection, it has passed ANSI Type II impact tests to the front, rear and sides. The Need for Change Skanska USA is investigating the advancements of head protection for employees working on its projects. Helmets being piloted on our projects include products from KASK, MSA Nexius, and 3M X5000. There are many reasons why we are looking to improve the current head protection. The primary reason is the fact that head injuries of all classifications still occur on our projects. These injuries vary on the spectrum of severity, from minimal in nature to catastrophic. Plain and simple: changes in head protection are needed in our industry. Skanska is looking to champion these efforts through an in-depth evaluation of different types of head protection, including the KASK helmets described in this white paper. A thorough list of the reasons for change include: • During any fall incident (slips, trips and falls from the same level, falls from ladders, falls from wall forms, etc.) the current hard hat is prone to fall off a worker’s head prior to impact because of the tendency for the head to “snap backwards,” leaving the head exposed when protection is most needed.

In this study, we selected the alicyclic compound, Dinorbornane dimethanol (DNDM) homo polymer, because it has been used as a representative monomer in low refractive index polymers for its unique properties. DNDM monomer has a stable amorphous phase and reacts like a polymer. Its unique reaction allows continuous investigation from monomer to polymer. For hydroxy end group and phenolic end group polymers, the refractive index (nd) decreased with increasing Dp, and both converged to same value in the high Dp region. However, the Abbe number (νd) of a hydroxy end group polymer is not dependent on Dp, and the νd of a phenolic end group polymer is greatly dependent on Dp.

  • Measurement of Verdet Constant in Diamagnetic Glass Using Faraday Effect
    18Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 40 : 18 - 23 (2006) Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 40(5) Measurement of Verdet Constant in Diamagnetic Glass Using Faraday Effect Kheamrutai Thamaphat, Piyarat Bharmanee and Pichet Limsuwan ABSTRACT Many materials exhibit what is called circular dichroism when placed in an external magnetic field. An equivalent statement would be that the two circular polarizations have different refractive indices in the presence of the field. For linearly polarized light, the plane of polarization rotates as it propagates through the material, a phenomenon that is called the Faraday effect. The angle of rotation is proportional to the product of magnetic field, path length through the sample and a constant known as the Verdet constant. The objectives of this experiment are to measure the Verdet constant for a sample of dense flint glass using Faraday effect and to compare its value to a theoretical calculated value. The experimental values for wavelength of 505 and 525 nm are V = 33.1 and 28.4 rad/T m, respectively. While the theoretical calculated values for wavelength of 505 and 525 nm are V = 33.6 and 30.4 rad/T m, respectively. Key words: verdet constant, diamagnetic glass, faraday effect INTRODUCTION right- and left-handed circularly polarized light are different. This effect manifests itself in a rotation Many important applications of polarized of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light involve materials that display optical activity. light. This observable fact is called magnetooptic A material is said to be optically active if it rotates effect. the plane of polarization of any light transmitted Magnetooptic effects are those effects in through the material.

    11 Development of highly transparent zirconia ceramics Isao Yamashita ＊1 Masayuki Kudo ＊1 Koji Tsukuma ＊1 Highly transparent zirconia ceramics were developed and their optical and mechanical properties were comprehensively studied. A low optical haze value (H<1.0 %), defined as the diffuse transmission divided by the total forward transmission, was achieved by using high-purity powder and a novel sintering process. Theoretical in-line transmission (74 %) was observed from the ultraviolet–visible region up to the infra-red region; an absorption edge was found at 350 nm and 8 µm for the ultraviolet and infrared region, respectively. A colorless sintered body having a high refractive index (n d = 2.23) and a high Abbe’s number (νd = 27.8) was obtained. A remarkably large dielectric constant (ε = 32.7) with low dielectric loss (tanδ = 0.006) was found. Transparent zirconia ceramics are candidates for high-refractive index lenses, optoelectric devices and infrared windows. Transparent zirconia ceramics also possess excellent mechanical properties. Various colored transparent zirconia can be used as exterior components and for complex-shaped gemstones. fabricating transparent cubic zirconia ceramics.9,13-19 1．Introduction Transparent zirconia ceramics using titanium oxide as Transparent and translucent ceramics have been a sintering additive were firstly reported by Tsukuma.15 studied extensively ever since the seminal work on However, the sintered body had poor transparency translucent alumina polycrystal by Coble in the 1960s.1 and low mechanical strength. In this study, highly Subsequently, researchers have conducted many transparent zirconia ceramics of high strength were studies to develop transparent ceramics such as MgO,2 developed.
