Thin carbonized polydopamine (C-PDA) coatings are found to have similar structures and electrical conductivities to those of multilayered graphene doped with heteroatoms. Greatly enhanced electrochemical properties are achieved with C-PDA-coated SnO(2) nanoparticles where the coating functions as a mechanical buffer layer and conducting bridge.

Microvascular multinozzle arrays are designed and fabricated for high-throughput printing of functional materials. Ink-flow uniformity within these multigeneration, bifurcating microchannel arrays is characterized by computer modeling and microscopic particle image velocimetry (micro-PIV) measurements. Both single and dual multinozzle printheads are produced to enable rapid printing of multilay...

Electromagnetic bandgap structure consisting of an arbitrary number of cylinders are considered. In this paper, the scattering properties from this multilayered structure consisted of arbitrary shaped cylinders are analyzed. The method is used to study large varieties of configurations and structures in respect to varying shapes, sizes and material compositions. Practical applications are illus...

Multilayered solid structures made of isotropic, transversely isotropic, or general anisotropic materials are frequently used in aerospace, mechanical, and civil structures. Ultrasonic fields developed in such structures by finite size transducers simulating actual experiments in laboratories or in the field have not been rigorously studied. Several attempts to compute the ultrasonic field insi...

We present an imaging modality that enables detection of magnetic moments and their resulting stray fields. use wide-field employs a diamond-based magnetometer has combined magneto-optic (e.g. Kerr effect) capabilities. employ such instrument to image (stripe) domains in multilayered ferromagnetic structures.

Multilayered composite structures and devices have become more popular and are now routinely introduced in advanced systems to reduce size and weight and to improve performance. However, because of the combined complexity of the materials and designs used in these systems, it is a significant challenge to determine the structural integrity and reliability of a specific structure or device using...

We establish strict upper limits for the Casimir interaction between multilayered structures of arbitrary dielectric or diamagnetic materials. We discuss the appearance of different power laws due to frequency-dependent material constants. Simple analytical expressions are in good agreement with numerical calculations based on Lifshitz theory. We discuss the improvements required for current (m...
