When a superhydrophobic (SHPo) surface is fully submerged underwater, the surface becomes wet eventually and cannot recover the SHPo state naturally. In this paper, we fabricate hydrophobic microposts on a hydrophobic nanostructured substrate, i.e., hierarchically structured SHPo surfaces, and investigate their wettin…

Nanocomposites of silane- and alkali-treated bamboo fiber and epoxy resin incorporated with nanoclay were prepared. The possibility of obtaining relatively low dielectric constant (ε) bamboo-epoxy nanodielectrics with improved mechanical properties was demonstrated. Silane coupling agents and mercerization of bamboo m…

The thermoelectric properties of the type-I clathrate Ba8AuxSi46−x (4.10 ≤ x ≤ 6.10) were characterized from 300 to 700 K. Increasing the Au concentration leads to a transition from an n-type (x < 5.43) to a p-type (x ≥ 5.43) electrical conduction. The experimental data are well described by a single-parabolic-…

Within a certain range of Co content, ferromagnetic Ni–Co–Mn–Ga shape memory alloys undergo martensitic transformation (MT) between ferromagnetic austenite and paramagnetic martensite. This brings about an enlarged magnetization change with respect to the ternary Ni–Mn–Ga, approaching the requirements for magnetic fie…
