Ni–Co coatings have gained widespread attention due to their potential in replacing hard chromium deposits (which have traditionally utilized toxic and corrosive chromic acid baths). A major challenge is to lower the high coefficient of frictio...
Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) arrays have become one of low-dimensional structural nanomaterials for the preparation of high-performance optoelectronic devices with the advantages of highly efficient light trapping effect, carrier multiplication, and adj...
Modern optical fiber required a double-layer resin coating on the glass fiber to provide protection from signal attenuation and mechanical damage. The most important plastics resin used in coating of fiber optics are plasticized polyvinyle (PVC), low...
Hollow core microbubble structures are good candidates for the construction of high performance whispering gallery microresonator and Fabry-Perot (FP) interference devices. In the previous reports, most of interest was just focused on the dual-ended...
Herein, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were treated using radio-frequency plasma discharge in the presence of air, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and their mixtures to introduce new chemical functionalities. The surface properties of treated LDPE we...
The ultrasonic array used for thin-walled structure non-destructive inspection usually has a high central frequency so that the thickness-to-acoustic wavelength ratio is greater than 10. When the ratio is much smaller than 10, the reliability of the...
Porous hydroxyapatite as a drug carrier is very popular and has many clinical applications. However, traditional hydroxyapatite materials have limited osteogenic capacity. Therefore, the development of a new hydroxyapatite drug delivery system is ess...
The authors wish to modify the funding section as follows to this paper [...]
This paper describes a study conducted to evaluate the effect of texturing of the surface of concrete substrate on the pull-off strength (fb) of epoxy resin coating. The paper investigates a total of seventeen types of textures: after grooving, impri...
Palm biodiesel is a currently used biofuel, principally as an additive or substitute of diesel fuel in vehicular internal combustion engines. In the present work, vanadium carbide (VC) coatings were deposited on gray cast iron (GCI) using the thermor...
