In this study, a facile spray pyrolysed hydrophobic robust tungsten oxide (WO3) films were deposited at an annealing temperature of 400°C on inexpensive glass substrates, using clear and homogeneous precursor solution containing tungsten hexachloride and 2-methoxyethanol. The 10 and 15 times sprayed films were polycrystalline with the monoclinic cr...

AbstractThe researches on micromechanical properties of concrete subjected to freeze-thaw cycles are few. Under freeze-thaw action, the changes of micromechanical structure and mechanical properties of mortar and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) were characterized by nanoscratch. The volume fraction of micropores increases almost linearly, up to a...

The top layer of a typical high pressure floor laminate (HPL) consists of a melamine formaldehyde (MF) impregnated special wear layer (overlay) with alumina particles. This top layer plays a crucial role in determining the mechanical properties of the laminate. For HPLs, scratch resistance and scratch visibility are particularly important propertie...

Using embedded atom method potential, extensive large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nanoindentation/nanoscratching of nanocrystalline (nc) iron have been carried out to explore grain size dependence of wear response. MD results show no clear dependence of the frictional and normal forces on the grain size, and the single-crystal (sc)...

Cardanol-based epoxidized resole resins (ERCF) were synthesized by reacting resole type phenolic resin (RCF) and epichlorohydrin in basic medium, at 120 °C. Resole type phenolic resins were synthesized by reacting cardanol (C) and formaldehyde (F) in the presence of sodium hydroxide, as catalyst, at five different temperatures ranging between 60-80...

Hard CrNx coatings were sputter deposited on hot work tool steel (HWTS) and high speed steel (HSS) in an industrial PVD reactor. Coatings were deposited under various nitrogen flows. The thickness, density, hardness, elastic modulus, composition, and stress were determined for the coatings. The specimens were subjected to scratch testing. Two diffe...
