An easy and cost-effective route is demonstrated to grow spongy-network-like polyaniline (SpN-PANI) thin films on stainless steel (SS) by galvanostatic electrodeposition. Through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy...
It was found that the use of natural magnesium hydroxide (n–MDH) as mineral filler in EVA based composites provided mechanical and rheological properties that did not completely comply with the halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) cables paramet...
Water condensation on solid surfaces is a universal phenomenon that plays an essential role in many interfacial phenomena, such as friction, corrosion, adsorption, etc. Thus far, the initial states of water condensation on surfaces with varying chemi...
The effects of temperature and surfactant on the shape of candle droplets that solidify at air-water interfaces were investigated. In pure water, triangular or quadrangular shaped candle droplets were formed when the temperature was ≤6 °C and...
In this work, we consider White Light Reflectance Spectroscopy (WLRS) as an optical methodology for the accurate, fast and non-destructive measurement of film thickness in the 1 nm to the 1 mm range and for applications that include microelectronics,...
A uniform air gap was successfully formed on a superhydrophobic silicone rubber in water or NaCl aqueous solution. The main chain of Si–O bonds of a silicone rubber was photodissociated by a 193 nm ArF excimer laser to lower the molecular weigh...
Electrochemical characterization of alumina-based membranes obtained by two different techniques, sinterization or anodization, is performed by analyzing membrane potential values. This analysis allows us the estimation of the effective concentration...
Thermal energy storage (TES) has been identified by many researchers as one of the cost-effective solutions for not only storing excess or/wasted energy, but also improving systems’ reliability and thermal efficiency. Among TES, phase change ma...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest public health challenges of this century. The misuse and/or overuse of antibiotics has triggered the rapid development of AMR mechanisms. Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are a broad-spectrum family of antib...
Carbon-red mud foam/paraffin hybrid materials were prepared and studied for their thermal energy storage and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties. The host matrices were prepared utilizing the polymeric foam replication method, wit...
