Silicon and graphene are among the most important areas of research. Silicon is still the king of the semiconductor industry! On the other hand, graphene is the first two-dimensional material and has many unprecedented physical and chemical properties. The combination of silicon and carbon—or SiC—is yet another amazing material with a very bright future. Owing to its excellent thermal, mechanical, and semiconductive properties, SiC is a leading material for many strategic applications.
This article researches a very important question: is SiC the only possible composition of Si/C? Or could we play with the composition or dimensions of SixCy materials? View this paper
This article describes an approach to evaluating the structural properties of samples manufactured through 3D printing via active infrared thermography. The mentioned technique was used to test the PETG sample, using halogen lamps as an excitation so...
Polyester-short-fiber-reinforced rubber composites have been detected by an X-ray three-dimensional microscope, and then the three-dimensional reconstruction of the image has been carried out to characterize the orientation of polyester short fibers...
Rapid tooling (RT) and additive manufacturing (AM) are currently being used in several parts of industry, particularly in the development of new products. The demand for timely deliveries of low-cost products in a variety of geometrical patterns is c...
In this study, the corrosion performance of AA2014 aluminum alloy was enhanced by coating the alloy with a layer containing silica (SiC) that was formed by the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process. The PEO process was performed with different...
Since the transfer process of graphene from a dedicated growth substrate to another substrate is prone to induce defects and contamination and can increase costs, there is a large interest in methods for growing graphene directly on silicon wafers. H...
Cement production is one of the major sources of decomposition of carbonates leading to the emission of carbon dioxide. Researchers have proven that incorporating industrial wastes is of paramount significance for producing green concrete due to the...
Erosive wear due to the fact of sand severely affects hydrocarbon production industries and, consequently, various sectors of the mineral processing industry. In this study, the effect of the elbow geometrical configuration on the erosive wear of car...
As a special kind of Bragg grating, phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PS-FBG) has attracted extensive attention because of its extremely narrow transmission window and excellent sensing performance. The main purpose of this manuscript is to discuss...
Residual stress plays an essential role in affecting the strengthening performance by a surface treatment. Studying the impact of a single ball on a target surface is the basis of shot peening technology in order to obtain the distribution of the res...
Nowadays, both the ferrite phase and B2-structured intermetallic in the Fe-Cr-Al alloy system are developed as porous materials, which have been further applied as high-temperature filter materials in industry. This work presents a comparative study...
