In order to elucidate the hygroscopic effects on impact-resistance of carbon fiber/epoxy quasi-isotropic composite plates, low-velocity impact tests are conducted on dry and hygroscopically conditioned plates, respectively, under identical configurations. For the impact tests, plates were immersed in the hot water at 80 °C to absorb a different amo...

We have studied optical properties of single-layer and multi-fold nanoporous gold leaf (NPGL) metamaterials and observed highly unusual transmission spectra composed of two well-resolved peaks. We explain this phenomenon in terms of a surface plasmon absorption band positioned on the top of a broader transmission band, the latter being characterist...

Dislocation engineering in crystalline materials is essential when designing materials for a large range of applications. Segregation of additional elements at dislocations is frequently used to modify the influence of dislocations on material properties. Thus, the influence of the dislocation elastic field on impurity segregation is of major inter...

This study investigates the removal of Pb(II) using polymer matrix membranes, cellulose acetate/vinyl triethoxysilane modified graphene oxide and gum Arabic (GuA) membranes. These complexation-NF membranes were successfully synthesized via dissolution casting method for better transport phenomenon. The varied concentrations of GuA were induced in t...

In this study, the electric storage effect of AlO6 clusters in amorphous alumina (AAO) supercapacitors was investigated in terms of cluster morphologies under electron-beam irradiation. Based on first-principles density functional calculation, the optimised structure of AlO6 clusters around an O-vacancy is characterised by a large vacant space crea...

Analytical analysis of two-dimensional, magnetohydrodynamic, heat and mass transfer flow of hybrid nanofluid incorporating Hall and ion-slip effects and viscous dissipation in the presence of homogeneous-heterogeneous chemical reactions and entropy generation is performed. The governing equations are modified with the help of similarity variables. ...

Site conditions and forest management affect dendrometric parameters of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) coppices, but there is modest knowledge on the effect of stand dendrometric characters on physical and mechanical wood characteristics. The aim of this study was to verify these relationships in chestnut coppices that were 12–14 years old. Wood ...

A hypereutectic Al–Fe–Cu alloy with a high-volume fraction ferro-aluminum second phase (AlFe phases for short) was reheated in the solid–liquid region and the microstructure evolution was investigated. During semisolid heating, the high-melting AlFe phases in the Al–Fe–Cu alloy were demonstrated to stunt the grain growth and to block the liquid coa...

Designing energy efficient and fast optoelectric neuromorphic systems remains a challenge. Long et al. report that the combined optical-electric stimulus enables switching the ferroelectric polarization and cycling the resistance state of BaTiO3 tunnel barriers, showing that the optical control of resistance is non-volatile.
