  • Solid State Joining Techniques
    Article - 23 Oct 2001
    Solid state joining processes are alternatives to fusion welding and can be applied to polymers as well as metals. They usually involve the use of heat and pressure to join parts. Heat may be...
  • Silica-Based Nanocomposites
    Article - 9 Oct 2001
    Manufactured by sol-gel processes these materials are becoming more popular. One type is the silsesquioxane cage structure and is close to commercialisation. Also called polyhedral oligomeric...
  • Microwave Sintering of Metals
    Article - 9 Oct 2001
    Metallic powders are good absorbers of microwaves and can be sintered by microwave radiation. Processing in this way has advantages over conventional methods including faster and more energy efficient...
  • Carbon Fibre Composites for Marine Applications
    Article - 5 Oct 2001
    In competitive yachting small advantages can make all the difference. Employing carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites can provide such an edge due to decreased weight and increased stiffness.
  • Hot Isostatic Pressing
    Article - 28 Sep 2001
    Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a forming process combining simultaneous heat and pressure to consolidate metal and/or ceramic powders. It produces fully dense materials and can bond materials that...
  • Nanocomposites - Properties and Applications
    Article - 27 Sep 2001
    Adding nanosized particles to polymers can enhance properties such as strength, modulus, thermal stability as well as decreasing gas permeability. Properties such as toughness and impact resistance...
  • Composites for Aeroengines
    Article - 24 Sep 2001
    Although production costs for composite materials (polymer, ceramic and metal matrix) are coming down, it is difficult for them to become accepted materials for aeroengine applications. Thus article...
  • Vacuum Plasma Processing
    Article - 24 Sep 2001
    Vacuum plasma processing is used in the electronics, aerospace, automotive, medical, military and packaging industries for surface treating of organic materials. It is a low temperature process used...
  • Plasma Carburising
    Article - 12 Sep 2001
    This process is similar to gaseous carburising, but uses a plasma instead of a hydrocarbon to treat the metal, improving hardness and wear. Advantages over conventional carburising include better...

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?

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.
