The aqueous and thermal stabilities of aragonite (CaCO3) powders against phase conversion are important for industrial applications that rely on calcium carbonate. We describe the synthesis and characterization of solution-precipitated aragonite powd...
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) gases, such as nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), are considered the most hazardous exhausts exhaled by industries and stationary and non-stationary application engines. Investigation of cataly...
A phase field framework of elasticity, inelasticity, and fracture mechanics is invoked to study the behavior of ceramic materials. Mechanisms addressed by phase field theory include deformation twinning, dislocation slip, amorphization, and anisotrop...
Protective coatings can prolong the lifespan of engineering components. Electroless Ni-P coating is a very hard coating with high corrosion resistance, but low toughness. The addition of NiTi nanoparticles into the coating has shown the potential to...
Utilization of alternative asphalt binders and additives from renewable sources, given the scale and the impact of the asphalt pavement industry, is an important step toward a sustainable future for the surface transportation infrastructure. Among se...
Quantum dots (QDs) play a fundamental role in nanotechnology because of their unique optical properties, especially photoluminescence (PL). Quantum confinement effects combined with tailor-made materials make QDs extremely versatile for understanding...
Over time, high-temperature superconductor (HTS)-coated conductors (CCs) have proven to be promising candidates for future high-efficiency and high-power density electrical machines. However, their commercialization is handicapped due to the AC dissi...
