Titanium Nitride (TiN) coatings have led the way for providing increased wear resistance and extended life of cutting tools, whether carbide inserts or high-speed steel. Where the earliest applications were for high temperature substrate materials (carbides) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was the process of choice, later developments in the physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology, espec...

There is interest to analyse newer biomarkers to identify healthy individuals at risk to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidents and death. To determine in healthy individuals new circulating protein biomarkers, whose systemic levels may be associated with the risk of future development of CVD incidents and death. The study was performed in 82 individuals from the Malmö Diet and Cancer s...

Hydrocarbon precursor such as methane has been widely used to grow graphene films and the methods of growing quality graphene films are dominated by thermal CVD (chemical vapor deposition) system. Graphene films grown by plasma process are generally highly defective which in turns degrade the quality of the films. Here, using a green precursor, camphor we demonstrate a simple and economical met...

Aluminide coatings have been studied for many years because of their excellent corrosion resistance in oxidizing, sulfidizing and carburizing environments. One of the factors that inhibits their application is a lack of sufficient data about their potential benefits. In order to address this issue, model coatings are being fabricated using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD process on ferritic (F...

Gas-phase silver nanoparticles were coated with silicon dioxide (SiO2) by photoinduced chemical vapor deposition (photo-CVD). Silver nanoparticles, produced by inert gas condensation, and a SiO2 precursor, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), were exposed to vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation at atmospheric pressure and varying temperatures. The VUV photons dissociate the TEOS precursor, initiating ...

In this work, we report the degradation of NOx using two catalysts prepared by coating activated carbon from orange peels with TiO2. This study compared the performance of TiO2coated catalysts prepared by CVD (AC1/TiO2) and the sol-gel method (AC2/TiO2). The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, BET surface area and TEM. The photocatalytic activity was measured by studying the degr...

To improve the growth rate of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond coating, increasing reaction is essential. A novel method dispersing graphene oxide (GO) particles as adsorbent on substrate prior to was proposed, with which coating large grain size and high thickness deposited silicon nitride under normal CVD environment. The as-deposited characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...
