Role of graphene concentration on electrochemical and tribological properties of graphene-poly(methyl methacrylate) composite coatings

Mechanical properties of electrophoretically deposited 45S5 bioglass-graphene oxide composite coatings

Bioglass-graphene oxide composites can be served as a high-potential candidate for biomedical applications due to its specific mechanical properties. In this study, the 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) - graphene oxide (GO) composite containing 2 wt. % GO was coated on titanium alloy via electrophoretic deposition process (EPD). The synthesized GO was incorporated into BG coating to improve the mechan...

Tribological performance of polymethyl methacrylate as an aviation polymer

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is one of the most popular synthetic polymers in aircraft windshields as an alternative to glass, due to its lightweight, high transparency and impact-resistant characteristics. The erosion behavior of PMMA is critical when used as an alternative to glass in an aircraft windshield. This paper presents experimental data on the effects of particle size, velocity and...

Influence of Graphene Nanoflakes Addition on Grease Tribological Properties

the role of semantic and communicative translation on reading comprehension of scientific texts

the following null hypothesis was proposed: h : there is no significant difference between the use of semantically or communicatively translates scientific texts. to test the null hypothesis, a number of procedures were taken first, two passages were selected form soyrcebooks of food and nutrition industry and gardening deciplines. each, in turn, was following by a number of comprehension quest...

Effect of TiO2 Particle Concentration on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ni-P-TiO2 Composite Coatings

Ferritic stainless steels are widely used in equipment, including parts in turbines, electrical industries, aerospace, automotive and decorating industries. One of the problems with this type of steels is their low wear resistance. One of the ways to overcome this problem is to apply a wear-resistant coating on the surface of steel. In this research, nickel phosphorus-titanium oxide coating was...
