The current work describes the effect of shock wave exposure on electroplated NiW thin films. films were deposited through electrodeposition process by varying bath temperatures (35°C and 70°C) at constant density 1A/dm2. exposed to waves with Mach numbers 1.13 2.33 using an in-house tube facility. as-deposited wave-exposed characterized XRD, FESEM, EDS, EIS reveal its structural mechanical pro...

in this research, the effect of different biopolymers such as polyethylene glycol (peg) and polyvinylalcohol (pva) on synthesis and characterization of polymer/cobalt ferrite (cf) nano-composites bymechanical alloying method has been systematically investigated. the structural, morphological andmagnetic properties changes during mechanical milling were investigated by x-ray diffraction (xrd),fo...

Zinc sulfide [ZnS] thin films were deposited on glass substrates using radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The substrate temperature was varied in the range of 100°C to 400°C. The structural and optical properties of ZnS thin films were characterized with X-ray diffraction [XRD], field emission scanning electron microscopy [FESEM], energy dispersive analysis of X-rays and UV-visible transmiss...

Indium oxide (In2O3) thin films annealed at various annealing temperatures were prepared by using spin-coating method for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The objective of this research is to enhance the photovoltaic conversion efficiency in In2O3 thin films by finding the optimum annealing temperature and also to study the reason for high and low performance in the annealed In2O3 thin films...

Research has been carried out on the effect of chitosan composition physical and biodegradable properties areca nut nanofiber composite films with castor oil as a plasticizer. Samples were made using solution casting method. The variations used 0 g, 0.56 0.7 0.84 1.4 g one sample starch variation chitosan. samples tested thickness test, FTIR test FESEM test. Mechanical tests include tensile str...

Constructing structures on lateritic soil is challenging in geotechnical engineering due to the various physical and characteristics. Many studies investigated different stabiliser materials strengthen parameters of soil. This study used activated carbon coir fibre (ACF) stabilise soils as an environmentally friendly binder. Experiments including unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test direc...

in this paper effect of sio 2 nanoparticles was investigated on potato starch films. potato starch films were prepared by casting method with addition of nano-silicon dioxide and a mixture of sorbitol/glycerol (weight ratio of 3 to 1) as plasticizers. sio 2 nanoparticles incorporated to the potato starch films at different concentrations 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5% of total solid, and the films were dri...

nanocomposite samples based on elastomer blends of butyl rubber (iir) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (epdm) were prepared using a laboratory scale two-roll mill in order to study the effect of cloisite 15a organoclay content (i.e., 1, 3, 5 and 7 wt%) on the mechanical and morphological properties  of  iir/epdm/cloisite  15a  nanocomposites  compared  to  the  unflled epdm/iir blends. rheo...

in this work, leather fibers were employed as a component of elastomeric compounds based on nbr, cr and epdm and studied were made on their effects upon curing characteristics and mechanical properties of the prepared compounds. evaluation of curing characteristics of the compounds demonstrated that leather fibers have no considerable effect on initial viscosity and curing time of the compounds...
