High‐performance anode‐supported tubular solid‐oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have been successfully developed and fabricated using slip casting, dip coating, and impregnation techniques. The effect of a dispersant and solid loading on the viscosity of the NiO/Y 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 (NiO/YSZ) slurry is investigated in detail. The v…

We present the design and verification of a desktop system for the automated production of nanostructured thin films via spin-assisted layer-by-layer (spin-LBL) assembly. The utility of this system is demonstrated by fabricating polyvinyl alcohol/clay nanocomposites. Ellipsometry measurements demonstrate that the auto…

We study the influence of alumina percentage on fundamental properties (structure and crystallization) and applied properties (temperature range of manufacturing and strength) of basalt glasses and continuous basalt fibers (CBFs) on their base. Crystallization of high-alumina glasses and CBFs occurs in three steps. Fi…

The influence of the Mn substitution by Fe atoms on the magnetocaloric and magnetic properties of the martensitic Ni50Mn36Sn14 Heusler-type compound has been investigated using magnetization measurements. The insertion of Fe atoms reduces the Mn-Mn AF interactions resulting in (i) a systematic decrease in the martensi…

The influence of the transition metal (Ti, V, Zr, W) doping on the carbon matrix nanostructuring during the thin film growth and subsequent annealing is investigated. Pure and metal-doped amorphous carbon films (a-C, a-C:Me) were deposited at room temperature by nonreactive magnetron sputtering. The carbon structure o…

This paper presents results showing that the design of substrates used for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can impact the apparent enhancement factors (EFs) obtained due to optical interference effects that are distinct from SERS, providing additional enhancement of the Raman intensity. Thus, a combination…

A simple chemo-mechanical method is proposed for in-situ amino functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Ball milling in the presence of ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3) allowed introduction of functional groups like amine, amide on the surface of CNTs. The milled CNTs were characterized extensively using a particle…

Outdoor insulators are widely accepted in power industry to maintain electrical insulation ranging from distribution to transmission lines. Such increasing development leads to a lack of appropriate diagnostic tools for assessing the performance of insulator in service, particularly in contaminated conditions. In orde…

Abstract The IR spectroscopy study shows miscibility between PMMA‐PVC blends due to hydrogen bonding between CO of PMMA and hydrogen from CHCl of PVC. This blend system is doped by Camphor Sulphonic Acid (CSA) in the entire composition range. The doping of CSA in PVC, in PMMA and in PMMA‐PVC blends shows changes in F…

Crystals of U- and Th-doped fluor-, chlor-, and strontium-apatite have been synthesized from phosphate-halide-rich melts, and their structures were refined at room temperature with single-crystal X-ray diffraction intensities to R = 0.0167-0.0255. Structure refinements of U-doped fluorapatites indicate that U substitu…

A novel way of producing superhydrophobic surfaces by applying a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) to silicon micro/nano-textured surfaces is presented in this paper. The micro/nano-textured surfaces on silicon substrates were generated by the aluminum-induced crystallization (AIC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) technique.…
