Modeling sputtering deposition of MoS 2 : Effect of Ni doping on nanostructure and tribological properties
The tetragonal ordered form of BaSnF4 is of particular interest, as its ionic conductivity is high enough to enable its uses as an electrolyte in all-solid-state fluoride-ion batteries. Despite several studies related to its synthesis, structure, and fluoride-ion diffusion mechanism, reported routes often yield impurities as well as unexplained var...
Joule heating electrodes (JHEs) are required for thermal actuation systems. A highly stretchable, patternable, and low-voltage operating JHE based on hybrid layers of silver nanowires and carbon nanotubes are reported. The conductive layers are applied on a locally pre-strained bistable electroactive polymer (BSEP) membrane to form a wrinkled condu...
A low-carbon micro-alloyed (LCMA) steel with a body-centered cubic (bcc) crystal structure suitable for extremely low temperatures was developed by overcoming the intrinsic ductile-to-brittle transition in bcc alloys at cryogenic temperatures. The excellent cryogenic-to-ambient impact toughness in the LCMA rolled plate results from its heterogeneou...
The properties and microstructure of Type 304L stainless steel produced by two additive manufacturing (AM) methods—directed energy deposition (DED) and powder bed fusion (PBF)—are evaluated and compared. Localized heating and steep temperature gradients of AM processes lead to significant residual stress and distinctive microstructures, which may b...
The design principles of acceptor1–acceptor2 copolymers featuring alternating diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and thienopyrrolodione (TPD) moieties are investigated. The investigated series of polymers is obtained by varying the aromatic linker between the two acceptor motifs between thiophene, thiazole, pyridine, and benzene. High electron affinities b...

In this paper, the analysis of the directional heat flux and total heat flux for the bearing balls of Titanium alloy and Silicon Nitride has been demonstrated across a temperature range between 150 to 250 degree celcius. The obtained data allowed comparing the values of total heat flux and various directional heat flux. By comparing directional and...

Many research articles on various helical gearbox stages are accessible in reputable journals. The majorities of earlier research, despite the fact that triple step helical gearboxes have several benefits, were confined on single step and double step helical gears. Lately, most researching experts who work in this field have started paying close at...
Thanks to their excellent thermomechanical properties, cross-linked polymers are widely used for a myriad of applications. However, due to the presence of covalent cross-links, these polymers are usually considered nonrecyclable. For hydrocarbon polymers, this problem is particularly acute because, due to the lack of functional groups, the few know...
One of the primary methods for band gap tuning in metal halide perovskites has been halide (I/Br) mixing. Despite widespread usage of this type of chemical substitution in perovskite photovoltaics, there is still little understanding of the structural impacts of halide alloying, with the assumption being the formation of ideal solid solutions. The ...
