The potential of multiple layer fibre‐reinforced mouldings is of growing interest to the rotational moulding industry because of their cost/performance ratio. The particular problem that arises when using reinforcements in this process relate to the fact that the process is low shear and good mixing of resin and reinf…

We describe the capsulation of colloidally templated polythiophene (P3-TAA) arrays with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) after colloidal template electropolymerization. The dissolution of the polystyrene (PS) particle templates, which were assembled via the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)-like technique, allowed the forma…

Partial Discharge (PD) happened in GIS may induce the failure of the apparatus and endanger the safety of the grid. Detection of PD with UHF sensor can find the defect earlier. In this a paper, a de-noising method based on the wavelet method is introduced to improve the accuracy of PD detection. The general wavelet de…

The electronic structure (band structure, DOS and COHP) of the delafossite nitride AgTaN2 was investigated on the basis of density-functional theory using the generalized-gradient approximation (GGA). AgTaN2 is predicted to be a semiconductor with an indirect band gap. The characters of the top of the valence band and…

We apply an atomistic modeling approach to deal with interfacial phenomena in high‐density uranium fuels. The effects of Si, as additive to Al or as U‐Mo‐particles coating, on the behavior of the Al/U‐Mo interface is modeled by using the Bozzolo‐Ferrante‐Smith (BFS) method for alloys. The basic experimental features c…

We report, for the first time, the scattering, absorption, and reflection characteristics of 2D arrays of finite-length, armchair, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in the visible frequency regime. The analysis is based on the Finite-Element-Method formulation of Maxwell's equations and a 3D quantum electrical co…

Catalysts containing 10 wt.% of Pt and MnO2 supported on coated metallic foams by γ−alumina were examined for H2O2 decomposition. Catalysts were prepared by impregnation of a high-porous γ−alumina (coating layer) surface area. Surface area measurements, SEM micrographs, and H2 chemisorption gave evidence of a uniform…
