Surface engineering of the PLA films for fabricating dexterous humidity sensors
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2018 , Article)
This study presents the surface engineering of the thin films of a biodegradable polymer, poly lactic acid (PLA), for its application in moisture/humidity sensors. The PLA films were deposited on the comb-like pre-patterned ...
Synthesis and characterisation of Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2 duplex composite coatings
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract: Binary (Ni–B, Ni–P) and duplex coatings (Ni–B/Ni–P, Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2) with an inner Ni–B layer were electrodeposited on mild steel substrates. A comparison of the structural, surface, mechanical, and electrochemical ...
