Effect of annealing conditions on the optical properties and surface morphologies of (201)-oriented β-Ga2O3 crystals
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
The bulk properties of β-Ga2O3 are sensitive to temperature and atmosphere; therefore, suitable annealing conditions are required. This study was performed to investigate the effects of annealing conditions on the (201) ...
The effect of the annealing on the poly(vinyl alcohol) obtained by freezing-thawing
(Elsevier Science, 2011-07-30)
In the present work poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels were obtained by freezing/thawing technique. The effect of thermal treatment on its performance was studied by annealing the hydrogels at five different temperatures, ...
Adsorption and Exchangeability of Fibronectin and Serum Albumin Protein Corona on Annealed Polyelectrolyte Multilayers and Their Consequences on Cell Adhesion
(Wiley-VCH, 2019-02)
Polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) based on biopolyelectrolytes are highly appealing for the surface engineering of biomaterials and the tuning of cell response and phenotypes for biomedical applications. However, cell ...
Enhanced antiadhesive properties of chitosan/hyaluronic acid polyelectrolyte multilayers driven by thermal annealing: Low adherence for mammalian cells and selective decrease in adhesion for Gram-positive bacteria
(Elsevier Science, 2017-11)
The development of antifouling coatings with restricted cell and bacteria adherence is fundamental for many biomedical applications. A strategy for the fabrication of antifouling coatings based on the layer-by-layer assembly ...
Simulated annealing optimization for hydrocarbon pipeline networks
(American Chemical Society, 2013-05)
In this work the determination of optimally located pipeline networks has been proposed by means of the implementation of a metaheuristic algorithm called Simulated Annealing with GAMS (SAG) in order to find the best ...
Early detection of degradation in a semi-crystalline polyolefin by a successive self-nucleation and annealing technique
(Elsevier, 2007-07)
Samples taken from a black pipeline liner that became fragile while in service were analyzed by a Successive Self-Nucleation and Annealing (SSA) technique. Two types of polyethylene, Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and ...
Growing Fe-Mn-Al-Ni single crystals by combining directional annealing and thermal cycling
(Elsevier Science SA, 2020-01)
In pseudoelastic alloys, a fine-grained microstructure implies restrictions on the propagation and shrinkage of the martensitic phase. Thus, the pseudoelastic effect is adversely affected. For this reason, thermomechanical ...
Solving a multi-objective manufacturing cell scheduling problem with the consideration of warehouses using a simulated annealing based procedure
(Growing Science, 2019-01)
The competition manufacturing companies face has driven the development of novel and efficient methods that enhance the decision making process. In this work, a specific flow shop scheduling problem of practical interest ...
Investigation of laser annealing mechanisms in thin film coatings by photothermal microscopy
(Optical Society of America, 2019-02)
We study the evolution of the absorptance of amorphous metal oxide thin films when exposed to intense CW laser radiation measured using a photothermal microscope. The evolution of the absorptance is characterized by a ...
Effect of thermal annealing and irradiation damage on the superconducting critical temperature of nanocrystalline gamma-Mo2N thin filmsEffect of thermal annealing and irradiation damage on the superconducting critical temperature of nanocrystalline γ-Mo2N thin films
(Elsevier Science, 2019-02)
We report on the influence of the disorder and stoichiometry in the resulting superconducting critical temperature of γ-Mo2N thin films. Initially, three films (with Tc values of 7.6 K, 6.8 K and 6 K) were grown at room ...
