Nanomanufacturing, Volume 5, Issue 1

A simple method is developed to produce free-standing films of polypyrrole (PPy) in one step. It consists of the interfacial polymerization (without surfactants) of pyrrole (dissolved in chloroform) with an oxidant (ammonium persulfate, dissolved in...

A national energy crisis has emerged in South Africa due to the country’s increasing energy needs in recent years. The reliance on fossil fuels, especially oil and gas, is unsustainable due to scarcity, emissions, and environmental repercussion...

Effective high-aspect-ratio molds that minimize vacuum processes are becoming increasingly important for producing metalenses and other devices. To fabricate a high-aspect-ratio structure, a metal film must be used as a mask for dry etching, typicall...

This research discusses the fabrication of a nickel matrix nanocomposite reinforced with in situ synthesized layered Ni3Al intermetallics using mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). In contrast to ex situ methods that frequently...
