(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
MXenes have emerged as promising materials for various mechanical applications due to their outstanding physicochemical merits, multilayered structures, excellent strength, flexibility, and electrical conductivity. Despite ...
Nematic opto-mechanical actuators for the fabrication of refreshable tactile systems
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. We present a refreshable tactile ...
Synthesis and properties of HA/ZnO/CNT nanocomposite
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The goal of this study was to examine the tribomechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA)/ZnO and HA/ZnO/CNT composite ceramics (carbon nanotubes; with different ratios 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, and 1.5 wt%). The composites were ...
