High-Temperature Oxidation of Nano-Ni Dispersed Al2O3 Composites in Air

New high-temperature materials are required to increase energy conversion efficiency of thermal cycles such as gas turbine engines. To use Functionally graded materials (FGMs) at high temperatures, oxidation/corrosion resistance is very important. The oxidation behavior of Al2O3 nano-composites with

Analysis of Surface Reactions of Monomethylgermane on Si(001) Using Rheed and XPS - Toward Fabrication of Ge Embedded in SiC Structure

In this paper researchers analyzed the structural evolution of a Si(001) surface and the change in surface composition during a reaction of MMGe on the surface. The researchers found that a c(4x4) structure formed before SiC nucleation and both SiC dots and Ge-related dots formed separately on the s

Homogeneity in Sintering of Fine Ni-20Cr Powder by Pulsed Electric Current Sintering (PECS) Process

Pulsed Electric Current Sintering (PECS) is a sintering technique that allows fully dense materials to be produced at high heat rates in a short period of time. PECS also shows promise in being able to produce high performance porous materials. The difficulty in producing such porous materials is th

Mechanical Behaviour of Hybrid SiO2-PMMA Coatings Measured By Nanoindentation

In this paper researchers prepared hybrid SiO2-PMMA coatings by the sol-gel method and measured coating hardness. They applied two depth sensing indentation (DSI) systems, each one using indenters with different geometry and size, to analyze the mechanical behaviour of hybrid coatings with different

Effect of Base Type on Properties of NiO Synthesised by Sol-Gel Method

In this work different nickel precursors and bases yielded NiO particles with different sizes for uses in catalysts. NiO particles from Ni(NO3)2 were the largest followed by NiO from NiCl2 and NiSO4 respectively. In addition, use of NaOH yielded slightly bigger NiO particle than that of KOH.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
