Elastomeric actuators based on ethylene-vinyl acetate and carbon nanotubes
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2014 , Book chapter)
The development of new types of visual-aid tablet for visually impaired people requires the development of cheap, but still very effective photoactuating materials. This requirement can be satisfied by the use of new kind ...
Salinity inhibits seed germination of perennial halophytes Limonium stocksii and Suaeda fruticosa by reducing water uptake and ascorbate dependent antioxidant system
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Information about production and detoxification of reactive oxygen species during seed germination of halophytes under saline conditions is scanty. We therefore studied levels of common oxidative stress markers, antioxidant ...
Electrodeposition of nanostructured Nickel-Ceramic composite coatings: A review
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2014 , Article)
This review presents a recent literature on electrochemically prepared nickel-ceramic nanocomposites coatings. These nanostructured coatings exhibit remarkable enhanced corrosion resistance and microhardness which are of ...
Concentration, composition and sources of PAHs in the coastal sediments of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Qatar, Arabian Gulf
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Surface sediments were collected from sixteen locations in order to assess levels and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments of Qatar exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Samples were analyzed for 16 ...
Electrodeposition of liquid metals from molten salts
(
Electrochemical Society Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Many important metals are being produced by electrolysis in molten salts (aluminium, sodium, rare earths and other reactive metals). Also industrial electrorefining of aluminium takes place in a molten salt electrolyte. ...
Surface Behavior of Polyamide 6 Modified by Barrier Plasma in Oxygen and Nitrogen
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2014 , Article)
Polyamide (PA) 6 was modified by diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) plasma in an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen. The surface roughness decrease of PA 6 was detected by AFM and nano-indentation after ...
Novel miniaturized sensors for potentiometric batch and flow-injection analysis (FIA) of perchlorate in fireworks and propellants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Three planar miniaturized perchlorate membrane sensors (3×5mm2) are prepared using a flexible Kaptan substrate coated with nitron-perchlorate (NT-ClO4) [sensor 1], methylene blue-perchlorate (MB-ClO4) [sensor II] and ...
Cryogenic temperature and strain rate dependence of mechanical properties for extruded AA6060 alloys
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Tensile properties and fracture behavior of an AA6060 alloy were investigated at room temperature (295K) and cryogenic temperature (77K). It was found that both ultimate tensile strength and elongation increased with ...
Simulation study of Schottky contact based single Si wire solar cell
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We model single silicon nanowire (SiNW) solar cells with dissimilar work function metal contacts. Both short circuit current (ISC) and open circuit voltage (VOC) have been investigated. Effects of nanowire dimension, ...
Thermal properties measurement and heat storage analysis of paraffin/graphite composite phase change material
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
This study aims at the preparation of a paraffin/graphite waste composite for thermal energy storage application at low temperature. In this composite material, the paraffin is characterized by high phase change latent ...
