Thermal Conductivity Suppression in Nanostructured Silicon and Germanium Nanowires
(Springer, 2016)
The inherent low lattice thermal conductivity (TC) of semiconductor nanowires (s-NW) due to one-dimensional phonon confinement might provide a solution for the long-lasting figure-of-merit problem for highly efficient ...
Thermochemical conversion of poultry chicken feather fibers of different colors into microporous fibers
(Elsevier Science BV, 2015)
Thermochemical behavior of the poultry chicken feather fibers (PCFFs) of different colors was studied to gain an insight into their structural changes that were considered when converting them into fibers through pyrolysis ...
Investigation of spacer size effect on architecture and mechanical properties of porous titanium
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2011)
Titanium and its alloy foams have been receiving a growing interest for biomedical industry due to their biocompatibility and high potential in dental, spinal, joint and hip implant applications. Near net shape production ...
A flextensional piezo-composite structure for energy harvesting applications
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2014)
A piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) consisting of two cymbal electromechanical transducers and a cantilever beam structure designed and manufactured. The PEH under test is a novel design that aims to keep the transducers ...
Production and characterisation of granulated frit to achieve anorthite based glass-ceramic glaze
(Elsevier Sci LTD, 2015)
For the development of matt-transparent glass ceramic coating applied on the porcelain tile, the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system was studied. Sinterization and devitrification behavior of granulated frits and viscosity change with ...
Evaluation of pyroplastic deformation in sanitaryware porcelain bodies
(Elsevier Sci LTD, 2012)
In this study, the effect of composition on the pyroplastic deformation of a sanitaryware porcelain bodies was investigated. Systematic compositional arrangements were made to combine different amounts of SiO2/Al2O3 and ...
Effect of passivation and precipitation hardening on processing and mechanical properties of B4C-Al composites
(Elsevier Sci LTD, 2011)
Boron carbide aluminium composites were produced by infiltrating aluminium alloys into porous boron carbide preforms at different temperatures under an argon gas atmosphere. Aim of this study was controlling the reaction ...
Size and material effects on cymbal transducer for actuator applications
(Taylor & Francis LTD, 2006)
Flextensional cymbal pizocomposites have a number of applications as actuators, sensors, and transducers. In this study, the effect of the design parameters and materials on actuator performance were evaluated by Finite ...
Processing-structure-property relationship in rigid polyurethane foams
(Wiley, 2017)
Rigid polyurethane (PU) foam is used as a thermal insulating and supporting material in domestic refrigerator/freezers and it is produced by reaction injection molding (RIM) process. There is a need to improve the thermal ...
Evaluating vibration assisted vacuum infusion processing of hexagonal boron nitride sheet modified carbon fabric/epoxy composites in terms of interlaminar shear strength and void content
(Elsevier Sci LTD, 2016)
The results of an investigation of the effect of voids on the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of carbon fabric/epoxy composites consolidated from fabric preforms containing hexagonal boron nitride sheets (h-BNSs) were ...
