As Cr (VI) compounds used to formulate conversion layers provide enhanced anticorrosive protection to zinc coatings, but they are produced using hazardous chemicals, the development of "green" technologies is a paramount purpose. Consequently, the corrosion behavior of zinc coatings subjected to a Cr 3+ based passivat…

CNTs are hollow cylindrical tubes made up of carbon, having a very high aspect ratio (length/diameter). They have one, two or several concentric graphite layers, capped by fullerenic hemispheres. The single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) and multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) are the most commonly used CNTs (Figure 1), although double-…

This research aimed to achieve HCl removal for chlorine-containing hot coal gas by using supported oxide sorbents in a fixed-bed reactor at 673–873 K. Mn2O3/SiO2 was chosen as the optimal sorbent to eliminate chlorine species, after thermodynamic screening of the dechlorination potential of sorbents based upon various…

Since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, nuclear energy has been under increased media scrutiny. The focus is mainly on Germany and the radical transformation of the position on nuclear energy in that country. To understand and potentially predict the development, however, the situation needs to be viewed from a…

Homopolymers of β-lactams can be grown by surface-initiated polymerization. These surface-linked β-peptides are living polymers with the potential to be utilized as tunable, protease-resistant interfaces in multiphase structural composites where the characteristics of the interface influence bulk properties.

Hydrothermal synthesized lead titanate powder was prepared in a Teflon-lined stainless steel bomb. Calcium fluoride (CaF2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) were separately adapted as intermediate layers on p-Si (100) substrates. The microstructures of TiO2 and CaF2 layers were examined by FESEM. Lead titanate (PbTiO3) film…

A small vicinity of a contact line, with well-defined (micro)scales (henceforth the “microstructure”), is studied theoretically for a system of a perfectly wetting liquid, its pure vapor and a superheated flat substrate. At one end, the microstructure terminates in a non-evaporating microfilm owing to the disjoining-p…

It has been well known that BiFeO3 (BFO) exhibits two interesting physical properties simultaneously, which invoked multi-ferroic device applications to change electrical properties by controlling magnetic properties of BFO or vice versa. However, BFO has a high leakage current density, which may be attributed to bism…

The purpose of this work was to determine the optimal duration of free swelling for refined unbleached kraft pine pulp. Free swelling is the effect of water sorption by cellulose fibres without their simultaneous mechanical treatment (e.g. refining). The second purpose was to determine the possibility of improving the…

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of TaN was intensively studied for barrier metal in Cu line and Cu via separately by utilizing single damascene (SD) structure. As a barrier metal for via, thin ALD TaN 0.7 nm is insufficient to suppress dissolution of Cu seed during electrochemical plating, resulting in poor filling prop…
