Carbon nanomaterials are at the verge of becoming an important material for various industrial applications. The main hurdle in the production of Carbon Nanomaterial (CNM) is the cost of the raw material. There are two components in producing the CNM, the precursors and the technique of the synthesis. It is almost cer…

In single-crystal La 0.7 Ba 0.3 MnO 3 , giant volume magnetostriction was observed for the first time to reach 2.54 × 10 −4 at room temperature and a still larger level of 4 × 10 −4 at the Curie point T C = 310 K in a magnetic field of 8.2 kOe. At the same temperatures and magnetic field, this effect is complemented b…

The adhesion of polymer film of PMMA to different surfaces was measured using the shaft‐loaded blister test. The exposure of the films to saturated water vapor generally leads to a decrease in adhesive strength. The adhesion loss was directly related to the moisture accumulation at the polymer/substrate interface as m…

SOFC-MGT hybrid power plants are a very attractive near term option, as they achieve efficiencies of over 60% even for small power outputs (200-400kW). The SOFC hybrid systems currently developed are fuelled with natural gas, which is reformed inside the same stack at about 800-900°C. However, the use of alternative f…
