will require almost tripling the current
annual investment of the group (from
e3 to e8 billion). The EU has already
created a roadmap (its Strategic Energy
Technology Plan) to guide this spending.
EU commissioner for science and
research, Janez Potočnik, says, “With
today’s estimates, the Commission
wants to make the SET Plan a springboard to leap into a low-carbon economy, which is possible only if public and
private actors pool resources in a coherent way. Increasing smart investments
in research today is an opportunity to
develop new sources of growth, to green
our economy and to ensure the EU’s
competitiveness when we come out of
the crisis.”
“The investment needs to develop
clean and renewable energies can be
met only through a wide range of financial instruments. The Commission and
the European Investment Bank have
already significantly increased funding for this purpose. But we need to
mobilize more public and private sector funds. We propose to reinforce the
Risk Sharing Finance Facility, further
support venture capital and develop
the Marguerite and other funds,” says
Joaquin Almunia, commissioner for
economic and monetary affairs.
The EU is targeting six areas: wind,
solar, electricity grids, bioenergy, car-

bon capture and storage, and sustainable nuclear fission. The group has also
proposed a new Smart Cities Initiative
on energy efficiency for up to 30 cities,
“as first enabler for the mass market
hype of energy efficiency, renewables
and energy network technologies.”
The Commission is calling on the
public and private sectors to share
and coordinate their investments and
efforts. It acknowledges that public-sector support is needed given technological uncertainties and high market risk.
At the same time, the Commission says
this support should be a strong incentive for industry’s involvement. It also
suggests that the EIB may have to play
a role in financing the SET Plan.

Maine’s ‘manicotti’ bridge
The New York Times has a report
on a candidate for the “bridge of the
future,” that is, the Neal Bridge in
Pittsfield, Maine. The bridge has a
foundation of 23 hollow carbon- and
glass-fiber fabric arches, filled with
concrete. These are 12-inch-diameter
tubes that have been inflated, bent to
the proper shape and stiffened with a
plastic resin. They are then installed
side-by-side and stuffed with concrete,
“like giant manicotti.” Covered with
composite decking and compacted soil,
the arches support a standard graveland-asphalt roadway.
Fiber-reinforced plastics strips and
sheets have been used in the past to
repair concrete or steel on existing
bridges or to strengthen structures
against earthquakes. Glass-fiber rods
have replaced steel in some reinforced
concrete work, because corrosion of
steel rebar from road deicing chemicals
destroys concrete.
Others have been demonstrated that
use a “hybrid composite beam” technology that looks somewhat similar to traditional bridge girders.

news & trends
The Neal Bridge in Pittsfield, Maine,
has a foundation of 23 hollow carbon- and glass-fiber fabric arches
filled with concrete.
president of HC Bridge Company in
Wilmette, Ill., has developed straight
beams that combine polymers with
concrete and steel. The basic beam
consists of a rectangular FRP tube with
an arch-shaped conduit formed inside
it. The conduit is filled with concrete,
which provides compressive strength,
and steel rods along the bottom of the
tube, which provide tensile strength.
The beams have been used on a test
railroad bridge in Colorado and several
road bridges in Illinois and New Jersey.
“Everything about the beam is
designed to be compatible with conventional means of construction,” says
Hillman, who has been working on the
design for 14 years. “We’re very close
right now to parity with concrete and
steel on an installed-cost basis.”
The Neal Bridge design, however,
is a departure from these hybrid girder
construction and uses little of the relatively costly FRP material. The FRP
it does use serves largely as a shell for
the less-expensive concrete. The tubes
help protect the concrete from deicing
chemicals, potentially reducing mainte-
nance costs. Also, no internal rebar is
needed.
The technology behind the tubebridge structure is a product of the
University of Maine’s Advanced
Engineered Wood Composite Center.
A spinoff company, Advanced
Infrastructure Technologies, is working
to develop and commercialize applications for what has been dubbed “bridgein-a-backpack” technology.
In an interview earlier this year with
the Bangor Daily News, AEWC director
Habib Dagher said, “This is a milestone
because of how exciting this technology
is. It has the potential to change everything in terms of bridge construction. It
can change the way bridges are built in
the future.”
AIT plans to continue to work with
HC Bridge, and Maine officials said the
endeavor could create about 100 new
jobs and lead to at least six new bridges
in Maine over the next several years.
The bridge in Maine has been standing for almost one year. It cost less than
$600,000 to build.

Editor’s note
The October-November 2009 issue
of the Bulletin contained a story regarding the inaugural call for papers for the
new glass research-oriented publication
of The American Ceramics Society,
the International Journal of Applied Glass
Science.
The story stated that IJAGS will be
the only glass applications publication
in the world. This is not fully accurate
and we apologize for this lack of clarity.
Although IJAGS exclusively will
focus on applied glass science, in fact,
the Society of Glass Technology publishes two journals that also contain
papers on glass applications: European
Journal of Glass Science and Technology
Part A (Glass Technology) and Part B
(Physics and Chemistry of Glasses).
SGT has added greatly to the field of
glass science and the story in no way was
intended to minimize its contributions. n

2009 F.H. Norton Award winner
The New England Section of The
American Ceramic Society selected
Mark V. Parish, technology director at
CeraNova, as the 2009 F.H. Norton
Distinguished Ceramist Award recipient. The Section award recognizes an
individual for “significant contributions to the field of ceramics and/or
service to the New England Section.”
The ceremony dinner was held on
Nov. 18, 2009. Parish entertained the
audience with his humor and reflected
on the monodispersed ceramic processing initiated at MIT in the 1980s.
The turnout for this meeting was
nothing short of outstanding, which
concluded the well-executed calendar
year of 2009 for the New England
Section.
Parish earned his doctorate degree
in materials science and engineering from MIT and was a founder or
cofounder for several technology
companies, including CPS, CeraNova
and Specific Surface. He returned

It sounds like a long ways away, but
it’ll be here soon. In fact, the deadline for many nominations is only two
months away. That’s why it’s important
for ACerS members to start thinking
of worthy nominees as well as lining up
sponsors for them and letters of support.

DOE invests in ‘most advanced wind turbine’
Energy Secretary Steven Chu
announced new investments in
wind energy research facilities
that aim to produce the most
advanced and efficient wind turbines in the world. The funding
is from the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act, and the
research will focus on improving
land-based and offshore wind
generation.
$24 million will support
university research and development program and provide
educational opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in wind
energy technologies.
“Wind power has the potential to
provide 20 percent of our electricity
and create hundreds of thousands of
jobs,” says Chu. “We need to position
the United States as the clear leader in
this industry, or watch these high-paying jobs go overseas. The investment
we’re making today will help ensure
that America has both the talent and
the technology we need to compete.”
During the next two years, the universities will acquire utility-scale and
prototype wind turbines. DOE funds
also will be used to enhance their wind
technology curricula and provide financial assistance to students for research
fellowships and internships with the
wind industry.
The DOE press release describes
the following projects that have been
selected for an award.
• Illinois Institute of Technology
(Chicago) – up to $8 million.
IIT will use this funding to install a
GE 1.5-MW test turbine, at an existing
wind project owned by a consortium
partner at Marseilles, Ill. The university
consortium’s research and development
plan includes advanced concepts for
rotor control and drive train control,
robust sensors for blades and improved
aeroelastic models to improve turbine
performance and reliability. The close
American Ceramic Society Bulletin, Vol. 88, No. 10
proximity of the university’s turbine to
an existing wind farm provides an ideal
opportunity to study turbine wake interaction, wind farm interaction and wind
energy efficiencies. IIT also will develop
and offer wind energy courses addressing
the technical, operational, social and
environmental aspects of wind energy in
consultation with industry. Fellowships
will be offered annually to masters and
undergraduate students in wind energy
engineering fields of study.
• University of Maine (Orono) – up
to $8 million.
UM plans to design and deploy
two 10-kW and one 100-kW floating
offshore turbine prototypes. Two turbines are to operate at the university’s
Deepwater Offshore Wind Test Site
that will be located in state waters, and
one turbine will operate at an offshore
test site in the Isle of Shoals run by the
University of New Hampshire. The
university consortium’s research and
development plan includes optimization of designs for floating platforms by
evaluating options for using more durable, lighter, hybrid composite materials;
manufacturability; and deployment
logistics. Educational initiatives include
a model Master of Science degree in
renewable energy and the environment with a focus on deepwater wind
energy and a new undergraduate minor
in deepwater wind energy. The school
educational grants will be awarded to
individuals who are participating in
Maine-based wind energy education and training to enter the job
market.
• University of Minnesota
(Minneapolis) – up to $8 million.
The university plans to install
a new Siemens 2.3-MW turbine
research facility at its Outreach
Research and Education Park in
Rosemount, Minn., to study novel
mechanical power transmission
and electric generator systems. A
consortium research and development plan includes active and passive flow control strategies to increase
energy capture, broaden the operational
envelope of the turbine and reduce
structural loads and fatigue. As in the
IIT arrangement, the school’s turbine
will be close to an existing wind farm,
providing an opportunity to further
validate and reinforce research findings
regarding wake interaction and energy
efficiencies. The educational initiatives
include new graduate and undergraduate web-based course modules, programs
specifically focused on wind power
technologies and integration with other
renewables, and student internships
with industrial partners at consortium
field sites.

On the roof was a 11.1-kW photovoltaic system of 40 monocrystalline
silicon panels. On the sides were 250

ed to produce 200 percent of the energy
needed by the house. The thin-film panels, although less efficient than conventional silicon, were projected to perform
better in cloudy weather than silicon.
Team Germany got its proof on
the competition’s fifth day when skies
turned slate gray and a cold rain splattered the solar village. By late afternoon,
as federal commuters started streaming
home and electricity demand throughout the city began climbing, the Team
Germany house was producing 12.68
kW and consuming 12.33 kW, for a net
export of 0.35 kW. Net production also
occurred on two other rainy days.
The Team Illinois house finished a
close second, emphasizing energy efficiency over power production.
“Team Germany built a gingerbread
house packed with solar panels,” said
Richard King, DOE Solar Decathlon
director. “In the rain, the thin-film
12
panels were making electricity. It
made the difference.”
Each team was graded on nine
criteria other than net metering:
• Architecture;
• Market viability;
• Engineering;
• Lighting design;
• Communications;
• Comfort zone;
• Hot water;
• Appliances; and
• Home entertainment.
Team Germany was the only
team to score 150 points out of
a possible 150 points in the net
metering category, for having produced more electricity than it consumed over the entire two-week
testing period. The DOE gave the
net metering the highest weight in
the contest, and each of the other
categories received 75–100 possible points each.

Color-changing tile absorb,
reflect heat
Anyone with even a passing knowledge of physics knows that dark surfaces
absorb heat, while white surfaces are
more effective at reflecting heat –
hence, the growing number of experts
arguing that people should paint roofs
and other parts of buildings white to
help tackle global warming.
A team of MIT graduates
has developed a new tile that
changes color as the temper-
ature changes, producing a white surface
when hot and a black surface when cold.
Dubbed the Thermeleon, to rhyme
with chameleon, the researchers claim
that, in their white state the tile reflect
about 80 percent of sunlight landing on
them, while, in their dark state, they
reflect about 30 percent of the sunlight.
The team, which last week won a
$5,000 prize as part of MIT’s annual
Making and Designing Materials
Engineering Contest, is now looking
at developing a commercial version of
the technology that will be able to cope
with harsh outdoor weather conditions.
The current version of the technology
uses a common commercial polymer in
a water solution, which is then trapped
between plastic layers, one of which is
colored black. When the temperature
drops below a level determined by the
nature of the solution the white polymer
dissolves revealing the black surface.
Because the materials are common
and inexpensive, team members think
the tile could be manufactured at a
price comparable to that of conventional roofing materials – although
that won’t be known for sure until they
determine the exact materials and construction of their final version.
MIT said the team is now working on an even simpler and lower-cost
version of the technology that will
effectively integrate the polymer solution into a paint that could be painted
straight onto existing black roofs.

be boosted again.
Current versions of the bus have a
range of 3.5 to 5.5 miles per full charge,
depending on whether the vehicle’s air
conditioner is in use.
The other part of this concept is that
each recharging station would generate
energy from a renewable source, such as
solar or wind power, or both.
Dan Ye, Sinautec CEO, claims in
a Technology Review story that his
buses have several advantages over
alternatives. He says his buses regenerative brakes allow the vehicle to use
40 percent less electricity compared
with an electric trolley bus. When it
comes to a comparison with diesels,
Ye says Sinautec buses incur one-tenth
the energy cost of a diesel bus and
can achieve lifetime fuel savings of
$200,000.
“The ultracapacitor bus is also
cheaper than lithium-ion battery
buses,” says Ye. “We used the Olympics’
(lithium-ion) bus as a model and found
ours about 40 percent less expensive
with a far superior reliability rating.”
Ye adds that the environmental benefits are compelling. “Even if you use
the dirtiest coal plant on the planet, it
generates one-third of the carbon dioxide of diesel when used to charge an ultracapacitor.”

showcased on American University’s
campus in Washington, D.C., a small bus
that the company claims is “America’s
first ultracapacitor electric vehicle.”
The 11-seat minibus, powered only
by ultracapacitors, can be recharged by
a mobile recharging unit that combines
a large photovoltaic array and a vertical wind turbine. Sinatec says the bus
can be recharged in as little as 5 to 10
minutes.
Sinautec successfully developed a
series of ultracapacitor municipal buses
that have been in commercial use in
the greater Shanghai area since 2006.
The idea of using ultracapacitors in
electric buses can be counterintuitive,
because they can store only a fraction of the energy of a lithium battery.
Indeed, the buses can’t go far. But
according to the Sinautec concept, the
ultracapacitor bus would need only to
get to the next bus stop, which would
have to be relatively close. The key to
the Sinautec system is that each bus
stop would have an overhead recharging unit that the bus would quickly
latch onto. The bus wouldn’t necessarily need a “fill” at each stop. It would
need just enough to get it to the next
stop/recharging station where it could

World’s smallest nuclear battery
Researchers are developing a nuclear
battery that is smaller, lighter and more
efficient. It is the size and thickness of
a penny.
Jae Kwon, assistant professor of
electrical and computer engineering at
University of Missouri, who has been
working on building a small nuclear
battery, admits that people get the
wrong idea when they hear the term
“nuclear battery” and think of something hazardous. Although nuclear batteries generate electricity from atomic
energy similar to nuclear reactors, they
don’t use a chain reaction. Instead, they
use the emissions from a radioactive
isotope to generate electricity. One of
Kwon’s batteries in a pacemaker would
have no risk of suffering a meltdown.
The battery being developed by
Kwon and his research team, based on
betavoltaic conversion technologies,
is currently the size and thickness of
a penny. It is intended to power various micro- and nanoelectromechanical
systems. The team’s innovation is not
only in the battery’s size, but also in its
semiconductor, which is liquid rather
than solid.
Kwon has been collaborating with
J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU
research reactor and is working to build
and test the battery at the facility. In
the future, they hope to increase the
battery’s power, shrink its size and
attempt various other materials. Kwon
says that the battery could be thinner
than the thickness of human hair.

Nitride with silicon: solar cells
with 30% efficiency?
A Phoenix company said it has created a hybrid solar cell that pairs a
gallium nitride thin film with typical
silicon-based PV technology to produce
a single unit it claims can achieve an
efficiency of 25 to 30 percent.
RoseStreet Labs Energy expects to
start commercial production of the prototype late in 2010, says Bob Forcier,
CEO of RoseStreet. When those cells
come off the first production line, they
should be able to convert 25 to 30 percent of the sunlight that falls on them
into electricity, he adds.
That level of efficiency would be
significantly greater than what the best
silicon cells on the market can achieve
today. Currently, the most efficient silicon cells for sale come from San Jose,
Calif.-based SunPower, whose cells
have 22.5 percent efficiency.
There are other types of cells that
use alternative materials and perform
much better than SunPower’s, but they
also are much more expensive and are
developed mostly for solar panels on
satellites. The majority of the solar cells
on the market today are made with silicon, and their efficiencies are typically
in the mid-teens.
RoseStreet’s idea is that by adding a
layer of gallium nitride, PV panels can
be tuned to make use of photons from
a broader spectral range. “With gallium
nitride you can tune it for whatever
[part of the spectrum] you want. It’s
like a piano versus the ukulele – you
get more notes with the piano,” Forcier
says. “This technology allows silicon
to be supercharged, like adding a big
booster without a big cost penalty.”
Gallium nitride is a common material for making LEDs, so sourcing it
wouldn’t pose a challenge, he notes.
The company’s core technology
came from Cornell University and
the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
RoseStreet’s chief technical officer is
Wladek Walukiewicz, who also serves
as a senior scientist at LBNL.
When the company announced its
licensing agreement in 2005, it said the
technology could lead to solar energy
conversion efficiencies greater than 48
percent.
Although RoseStreet claims it will
start production of the hybrid panels,
it may license its technology to other
silicon makers that seek ways to significantly boost their products’ performance, Forcier says.
Interestingly, RoseStreet says its
technology is not a one-trick pony. The
company recently announced that it
had discovered a way to use a nitride
thin-film-based photoelectrochemical
cell to produce hydrogen gas directly
from sunlight.

can damage the lattice structure of
the solid semiconductor,” Kwon says.
“By using a liquid semiconductor, we
believe we can minimize that problem.”
In a paper in the July issue of the
Journal of Applied Physics Letters, some
of the betavoltaic liquid-semiconductor
technology is explained.
Kwon uses semiconductor property of
selenium along with a 166-MBq radioactive source of 35S as elemental sulfur. He
also uses a liquid semiconductor-based
Schottky diode. Energetic beta radiations in the liquid semiconductor can
produce numerous electron hole pairs
and create a potential drop. The measured power from the microbattery is
16.2 nW with an open-circuit voltage of
899 mV and a short-circuit of 107.4 nA.
In another paper to be published
in the Journal of Radioanalytical and
Nuclear Chemistry, Kwon and others
describe even more of the details.
The specific energy density from
radioactive decay is five orders of
magnitude greater than the specific
energy density in conventional
chemical battery and fuel cell technologies. As a result, radioisotope
micropower sources hold great
promise for the development of
small power sources with dimensions consistent with the miniaturization advances being made in
microelectromechanical systems.
While a number of conversion
schemes can be employed in RIMS,
betavoltaic conversion technologies
are compatible with the semiconductor manufacturing processes
used in microelectromechanical systems. We are currently investigating the use of liquid semiconductorbased betavoltaics as a way to avoid
the radiation damage that occurs in
solid-state semiconductor devices
because of nonionizing energy loss.
Sulfur-35 was selected as the isotope for the liquid semiconductor
tests, because it can be produced in
high specific activity and because it
is chemically compatible with liquid semiconductor media. Sulfur-35

President’s innovation
strategy
Betsy Houston
The White House National
Economic Council and the Office of
Science and Technology Policy have
released a summary of the Obama
administration’s policies on innovation
and competitiveness. “A Strategy for
American Innovation: Driving Towards
Sustainable Growth and Quality Jobs”
presents the strategy as a pyramid, with
the base being “invest in the building
blocks of American innovation,” the
middle “promoting competitive markets
that spur productive entrepreneurship,”
and the top “catalyze breakthroughs for
national priorities.”
The strategy is comprehensive, to
say the least, with the building blocks
covering everything from doubling the
research budgets of the science agencies, developing new career pathways in
community college programs, modernizing the electric grid and expanding
access to broadband. The competitive
markets section includes promoting
American exports, reforming export
controls, protecting intellectual property rights, ensuring working financial
markets, increasing access to capital
for new businesses, promoting regional
innovation clusters and making the
government more transparent, participatory and collaborative.
The centerpiece of “catalyzing
breakthroughs for national priorities”
is a clean-energy revolution, focusing
on renewable and clean energy, promotion of energy-efficient industries,
enactment of a cap-and-trade program,
supporting advanced vehicle technologies and transportation electrification.
This top of the pyramid also promises
to drive innovations in health care
research and technologies.

Climate legislation faces
uncertain future
With introduction of a greenhouse
gas reduction bill in early October,
the Senate will finally have climate
change proposals. The legislation,
sponsored by Environment and Public
Works Committee Chairman Barbara
Boxer (D-Calif.) and Senator John
Kerry (D-Mass.), would require a 20
percent reduction in emissions by 2020,
compared with a 17 percent reduction
mandated by the House-passed bill and
a 14 percent reduction proposed by
President Obama.
There are many sticking points in
the cap-and-trade proposal, including
whether to give the emissions allowances away or to sell them to polluters,
and, if they are sold, how to use the
revenue. Many industries, farmers and
Senators from coal states already have
weighed in with opposition to the capand-trade concept.
Although cap-and-trade was one
of President Obama’s signature priorities earlier in the year, the prolonged
health care debate makes it almost
impossible for legislation to be voted
on until at least early 2010.

the National Science Foundation. The
Survey of Research and Development
Expenditures at Universities and
Colleges showed a decrease in federal
funding, as a share of the total academic R&D expenditure, to 60 percent,
down from 64 percent in FY 2005. Still,
the federal government continues to be

Chip holds 1 TB of data
A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has created a small
chip that can hold 1 terabyte of data.
That’s more than 50 times the capacity
of today’s silicon-based chip.
Led by Jagdish “Jay” Narayan, director of the National Science Foundation
Center for Advanced Materials and
Smart Structures at NCSU, the team
said that its nanostructured Ni–MgO
system can store up to 20 high-definition DVDs or 250 million pages of text.
Working at the nanoscale, the engineers added metal nickel to magnesium
oxide. The resulting material contained
clusters of nickel atoms no bigger than
10 square nanometers. The discovery
represents a 90 percent size reduction
compared with today’s techniques – an
advancement that could boost computer storage capacity. Underlying this is
the team’s discovery that under certain
conditions the Ni–MgO system behaves
as a perfect paramagnet.
“Instead of making

The holy grail for insulin therapy is
to find a satisfactory oral transport system. Among the benefits of the injection systems is that dosage and timing
can be controlled, and the insulin isn’t
altered by injection. Thus, any replacement system will have to meet these
three minimum requirements.
One particularly difficult challenge
for oral delivery methods is to have the
insulin attached to a carrier without
fundamentally changing the insulin.

A team at NIST’s Center for Neutron
Research, led by Hiroaki Kadowaki of
Tokyo Metropolitan University, has
found a way to produce molecule-sized
monopoles. This would allow the exploration of magnetic monopoles in the laboratory, not just on the chalkboard (the
existence of monopole particles has been
hypothesized for more than 80 years).
The team created their monopoles
through the clever manipulation of a
compound made of oxygen, titanium
and dysprosium. They first cool the
compound to almost absolute zero, at
which point it forms “spin ice.”
The material freezes into tetrahedral
crystals. The spin of the ions at each of
the four tips of the tetrahedron normally
align so that their spins are “balanced.”
Two spins point inward and two outward.
That’s where the researchers step in to
alter the crystal. Using neutron beams,
the team learned it could alter one of the
spins so that three point in and only one
points out, “creating a monopole, or at
least its mathematical equivalent,” says
Jeff Lynn, a NIST physicist.
The NIST group says it was able to

Now, however, it looks like Paul
and Sharma may have devised a
ceramic-based competitor. The method the duo uses is to first activate the
phosphate group of the CaP. They
then conjugate it with lauric acid
and give it a chitosan spacer. Insulin
is then loaded onto this substrate.
Finally, the nanoparticles are given
a coating of alginate that gives each
particle a pH-dependent sustained
release mechanism.
A battery of tests demonstrated that
these ceramic particles have excellent
biocompatibility with insulin.
Lauric acid-conjugated CaP nanoparticles are highly compatible with
insulin. The CaP–CH–LA system can
deliver insulin in a sustained manner
in the physiological pH of the intestine with no degradation or conformational changes of entrapped insulin.

confirm the existence
of a monopole through
neutron-scattering
techniques.
More precisely, they
confirm the existence
of monopole and “antimonopole” pairs.
NIST says that,
because every crystal
pyramid shares its four
tips with adjacent pyramids, flipping the spin
of one tip creates an
“antimonopole” in the
next pyramid over.
“Maxwell’s equations indicate that
monopoles should obey
Coulomb’s law, which
indicates their interaction should weaken
as distance between
them increases,” Lynn
says. “Using the spin
ice crystals, we can test
ideas like this.” Visit:

NIST researchers find way to produce molecule-scale monopoles
Neutron scattering at the NCNR allowed the team to see the
spin ice’s transition from its normal state (top) to the monopole state. Monopoles scatter neutrons in a telltale fashion
indicated by the red arrows (bottom).
These nanoparticles have a size
distribution with the majority of the
particles less than 100 nanometers.
They have been demonstrated to be
noncytotoxic. Because the fatty acid
complexation can improve uptake of
particles across epithelium, the lauric
acid-conjugated CaP nanoparticles
may be used as a carrier for delivering
insulin orally.
While these results are exciting,
much more work needs to be done,
including invivo tests. One issue that
still needs to be documented is how
quickly the CaP particles break down.
Degradation within 24 hours would
be ideal.

Case researcher bites into
crown failures
Jin-Ho Phark, an assistant professor
at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine,
says he has figured out a way to make
ceramic crowns adhere better for dental
patients.
Phark used an X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy system to examine contaminants that clung to failed crown
surfaces and found that plaster particles
were interfering with bonding agents.
Crowns are typically made in a twostep process. First, the basic crown is
made from blocks of either aluminum
or zirconium oxide via a special CAD/
CAM system. Second, they are shaped
and tinted into a final veneer form
using a plaster mold of the patient’s
mouth. It turns out that even though
the veneers are sandblasted, they pick

ACerS held its 111th Annual Meeting as
part of the MS&T’09 conference, and the
turnout and participation in both meetings
exceeded expectations.
“Attendance was excellent considering economic conditions and the threat
of H1N1 keeping people away,” said Mark
Mecklenborg, the Society’s director of technical publications and meetings, “and the
opportunities to network and share ceramic
science information were more numerous
than ever.”
Mecklenborg said that MS&T’09 attracted
over 3,100 attendees from more than 70
countries and included more than 1,700 oral
presentations and posters (800 on ceramic
materials).
There were four outstanding ACerS lectures plus an MS&T opening session focused
on energy with keynoters Jeff Wadsworth
(Battelle) and Steven Koonin (DOE), followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session on the necessary materials advances for
batteries, solar, wind and nuclear power.
The new technical program track that
focused specifically on ceramic and glass
materials was a hit, especially the Emerging
Opportunities Session featuring talks from
ACerS’ Corporate Technical Achievement
and Environmental Achievement Award
winners. Energy, environment, electronic
and magnetic materials and nanomaterials
presentations were also included.
Attendees also benefited from the information provided by exhibiting companies
and organizations at the MS&T Exposition.
For the first time, the Expo included an
expanded poster session that took place during Expo hours.
Society’s new officers and board of directors were inducted, and various ACerS committees and divisions also met to plan activities for 2010 and beyond.
The social highlight was the Society’s
banquet. There was great food, friendship
and formal recognition of awardees, Fellows
and Distinguished Life Members. Through
the generosity of Rustum Roy, the banquet
audience was entertained by mentalist and
materials manipulater Gerard Senehi.

Jin-Ho Phark says he has figured out a
way to make ceramic crowns adhere
better for dental patients.
up some of the plaster from the
mold.
This plaster, along with saliva and
blood, creates gaps when the crowns
are attached, leading to secondary
decay.
Phark found an alternative in a
new ceramic crown material developed and donated for testing by the
Swedish company Nobel Biocare.
The improved fabrication process,
using new material, also involves
three new steps. First, a sintering
process leaves a rough surface texture
on the inside of the crown. Second,
during the veneering process, excess
plaster particles are burned off.
Third, the interior crown surface is
etched with an acid before attaching
it to the tooth.
“This new crown comes prepared
and does not need the extra sandblasting treatment by a dental technician,” says Phark. It also can be
attached with normal cements.
