Versatile efforts have been made to improve the stability of graphite/ethylene glycol (EG) nanofluids. Primitively, non-dispersible graphite nanoparticles were converted to graphite oxide nanoparticles (GONs) by acid treatment. Although GONs could be well dispersed in EG, the GONs/EG nanofluids exhibited limited stabi…

We report an environment friendly and green approach to obtain few-layer graphene by the almost instantaneous reduction of graphene oxide using Mg ribbons in acidic solution with a hydrogen spillover mechanism. The typical time is 1–5 min, which is much faster than the reduction by other metal catalysts.

The primary cause of fatigue damage is usually intimately related to some form of cyclic slip irreversibilities. Depending on material and details of the loading conditions, various types of fatigue crack initiation are observed. Here, typical examples of fatigue damage evolution in low and high cycle fatigue (LCF, HC…
