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
Despite widespread agreement on the beneficial nature of hydrated lime (HL) addition to asphalt concrete mixes, understanding of the effect of HL particle size is still limited. Previous investigations have focused mainly on two different size compar...
Steel sheets containing 0.18 wt % C were deformed by differential speed rolling (DSR) up to four passes and compared to the steel sheets processed by equal speed rolling (ESR). Not only microstructure, but also mechanical properties and rolling load,...
In this study, an ordered Ag/TiO2/Ni nanopillar arrays hybrid substrate was designed, and the charge transfer (CT) process at the metal–semiconductor and substrate–molecule interface was investigated based on the surface-enhanced Raman sc...
Ultrasonic treatment was applied to an A356 aluminum melt with different modifiers, and the effects of ultrasonic treatment on the structure and properties of the A356 alloy were studied. The results showed that α-Al was effectively refined wit...
For the first time, uniaxial megaplastic compression was successfully applied to a polycrystalline shape-memory Cu-Al-Ni-based alloy. The samples before and after uniaxial megaplastic compression were examined by methods of X-ray diffraction, optical...
Surface integrity induced by finishing processes significantly affects the functional performance of machined components. In this work, three kinds of finishing processes, i.e., precision hard turning, conventional grinding, and sequential grinding a...
Dental materials are mainly tested in vitro, so laboratory conditions must reproduce the oral environment to ensure the validity of their results. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of backgrounds on the color of gingiva-colored resin-based c...
The preparation of nitrogen-containing porous carbon (NCPC) materials by controlled carbonization is an exciting topic due to their high surface area and good conductivity for use in the fields of electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Howeve...
The aim of the paper is to describe and specify the properties and microstructure of Al-Si alloy using Zr, a combination of Zr with elements used in the grafting of Al (Ti) alloys, and modification (Sr). Al-Si alloys with a combination of Zr and Ti a...
In this paper, shields made of 1.3964 stainless steel bonded to a fiber laminate were subjected to ballistic impact response of 7.62 × 51 mm ŁPS (light projectile with a lead core) projectiles. Additionally, between the steel sheet metal a...
