The surface analysis of nanomachined AISI D2 tool steel materials is measured using atomic force microscopy. The surface roughness and fractal dimensional analysis are the important factors in nano tribology and evaluating the quality of nanomachined surface. Carbon nanotube increases the heat carrying capacity, thermal conductivity of the lubricating oil and thus prevents any damage to the wor...

In this research work cobalt-ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple, general sol-gel auto-combustion method. For this study, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing coatings with different weight fractions of nano-carbon and CoFe2O4 (which, arises from both dielectric and magnetic contributions) and polymeric epoxy resin were prepared and their characteristics were fully inves...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most significant achievements of nano-technology because of its important applications in the design of electronic nano-devices. The study of their properties is therefore important. In this study, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was used to investigate the adsorption of gas molecules on the surface of carbon nanotubes. Theoretical studies have found that ...

Carbon fiber fabrics are important engineering materials. However, it is confusing to classify different carbon fiber fabrics, leading to risks in engineering processes. Here, a classification method for four types of carbon fiber fabrics is proposed using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and support vector machine (SVM) based on 229 experimental data groups. Sample width, breaking strength an...

this review paper provides researcherwith a comprehensive information about the carbon nano tubes and the catalyst parameters that influences theproduction and morphology of the of carbon nano tubes.carbon nanotubes, referred to as cnts, are one of the most important materials used in electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical and textile industries. since discovery of cnts in 1991, many scienti...

This study investigated the flexural strength of eight fiber posts (one carbon fiber, one carbon/quartz fiber, one opaque quartz fiber, two translucent quartz fiber, and three glass fiber posts). Eighty fiber posts were used and divided into eight groups (n = 10): G1: C-POST (Bisco); G2: AESTHETI-POST (Bisco); G3: AESTHETI-PLUS (Bisco); G4: LIGHT-POST (Bisco); G5: D.T. LIGHT-POST (Bisco); G6: P...

This paper aims to clarify the effect of steel fiber on the flexural toughness of the high performance concrete containing fly ash and nano-SiO2. The flexural toughness was evaluated by two methods, which are based on ASTM C1018 and DBV-1998, respectively. By means of three-point bending method, the flexural toughness indices, variation coefficients of bearing capacity, deformation energy, and ...
