Molten magnesium can oxidize rapidly in atmospheres containing oxygen. During the casting and handling of molten magnesium, it is essential to protect the melt from ignition. The protective gas normally contains air and/or CO2, and with a small amount of an inhibiting agent. This study examined the minimum amount of S…

Solidvapor deposition was used to synthesize nanocrystalline PbS thin films on a Si (100) substrate. Lead sulfide (PbS) powder was first prepared and then heated to 1050 °C in a tube furnace. The resulting vapor was carried to the substrate zone by an argon flow. The structure of the nanocrystalline PbS thin films was…

We report that proteins labeled with fluorescein-doped silica nanoparticles (FSNPs) showed drastically different fouling behavior than those labeled with the fluorescein dye. Arrays of polymer films were covalently immobilized on silicon wafers and were treated with protein conjugated on FSNPs. Fluorescence imaging sh…

In this paper, development and electrical characterization of sisal powder filled polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composites is reported. Dielectric measurements were conducted on these composites on a LCR meter in the temperature range from 30 to 150°C and in the frequency range 1 kHz - 10 kHz. The effects of temperature and…

Abstract Natural fibers such as jute fiber and biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA) polymer are very good choices for environmental friendly material. Multi‐gate injection is often used to meet the demand of mass production of injection moldings, therefore weld line is inevitable. The presence of weld lines not only…

In this study, we investigate the mechanical characteristics of transfer-printed quantum dot (QD) arrays. Transfer printing of a spin-coated QD array by elastomers results in changes of the mechanical properties of the QD films since QDs encapsulated by organic aliphatic ligands can be deformed by physical forces such…

Al oxide (Al-O) films used as catalyst-support layer for vertical growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were characterized by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission, and scanning electron microscopies (TEM and SEM). EB-deposited Al films (20 nm) were thermally-oxidized at 40…

The growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with predefined structure is of great importance for both fundamental research and their practical applications. Traditionally, SWCNTs are grown from a metal catalyst with a vapor-liquid-solid mechanism, where the catalyst is in liquid state with fluctuating struct…

Inherent chemical programmability available in peptide-based hydrogels has allowed diversity in the development of these materials for use in biomedical applications. Within the 20 natural amino acids, a range of chemical moieties are present. Here we used a mixing-induced self-assembly of two oppositely charged pepti…

Tip based lithography was used to print arbitrary patterns of cobalt oxide nanoclusters from single features to large repeatable arrays over square millimeter areas. Cobalt ions were mixed with a P2VP-PEO block-copolymer and were delivered in sub-micron sized droplets to a surface. These droplets were heat treated at…

Many studies have presented stress-strain relationship of human hair, but most of them have been based on an engineering stress-strain curve, which is not a true representation of stress-strain behaviour. In this study, a more accurate 'true' stress-strain curve of human hair was determined by applying optical techniq…
