The electro-deposition of titanium from two different classes of ionic liquids has been studied. Gold ions in solution have been used as an additive in order to provide a stable nucleation site for titanium to deposit on via a co-deposition process. Despite evidence from previous literature, it was found that it was not possible to reduce titanium from the +4 state to titanium (0) due to proble...

Abstract The degradation of dielectric properties polypropylene (PP) at high temperature affects the operational stability metallised film capacitors. This study presents a method to improve high‐temperature performance PP through long‐chain branching modification and regulating crystalline properties. Different amounts nucleating agents were added branched (LCBPP) effect crystallisation on ele...

We calculate analytically the bubble nucleation rate in a model of rst order in ation which is able to produce large scale structure. The computation includes the rst-order departure from the thin-wall limit, the explicit derivation of the pre-exponential factor, and the gravitational correction. The resulting bubble spectrum is then compared with constraints from the large scale structure and ...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

Fabrication of nanocomposites from immiscible polymer blend system has been represented in this work. A new type of natural clay named Halloysite Nanotubes (HNTs) are modified by Polyethyleneimine (PEI) and these PEI grafted HNTs are incorporated into the immiscible blend system during melt mixing process to prepare halloysite based nanocomposites. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)...

Several ice-nucleating bacterial strains, including Erwinia herbicola, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudomonas syringae isolates, were examined for their ability to shed ice nuclei into the growth medium. Only E. herbicola isolates shed cell-free ice nuclei active at -2 to -10 degrees C. These cell-free nuclei exhibited a freezing spectrum similar to that of ice nuclei found on whole cells, bo...

Well-defined 2D Eu+3 co-doped ZrO2: Gd+3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by microwave assisted solution combustion technique for luminescent applications. The present investigation reports the rapid and effective method for the synthesis of the Eu+3 co-doped ZrO2:Gd+3 nanoparticles and study of the luminescence behavior of Eu+3 ion in ZrO2:Gd+3 nanostructures. The optical properties...

Poly(lactic acid) is a promising biopolymer but due to its low heat deflection temperature, the usage of PLA-based products limited. In case bulk products, annealing an effective way increase temperature. Our aim was improve temperature poly(lactic foams by annealing. this study, we showed that D-lactide content affects crystallinity foam structures in same it PLA. Lower resulted higher degree ...

In most of the developed nation, increase in percentage share renewable power total generation causes major concerns over integration these with grid resulting instability. Energy storage is a new frontier technology which considered as ultimate solution developing micro-smart distributed generation. Most hot countries like India spend nearly 24% electricity generated on air-conditioning and fo...
