The rheological, structural, and stress evolution of aqueous alumina (Al2O3):latex tape-cast layers of varying composition were studied by shear rheology, direct visualization, and a controlled environment stress measurement device. Their low shear viscosity was nearly independent of the alumina:latex ratio for binary mixtures whose particle size ratio ( D alumina:D latex) approached unity, but...

Background: The current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has distorted the physical, mental, and psychological condition of healthcare workers. There is a paucity of research exploring the relationship between psychological resilience and post-traumatic stress symptoms and no existing literature examining the mediating role of meaning in life in the relationship between these two constructs. T...

We systematically studied the origin of surface patterns observed on single Sinorhizobium meliloti bacterial cells by comparing the complementary techniques atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Conditions ranged from living bacteria in liquid to fixed bacteria in high vacuum. Stepwise, we applied different sample modifications (fixation, drying, metal coating, e...

AbstractIn this study, the stress analysis of YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2/Ni architextured materials under cryogenic conditions was carried out for coated conductor applications. YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2 multilayer films were fabricated on Ni tape substrate using reel-to-reel sol-gel and Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) systems. The microstructural evolution of high temperature superconducting YBCO film and buffe...

The Nanorobotics series developed by Klocke Nanotechnik extend Scanning Electron or Ion Microscopes to material processing systems. The included automation allows the whole field of handling, assembly and manufacturing like known from a normal desktop system – now with nano-precision, including various kinds of image generation by using different sensors. Applications are in the field of Materi...
