Explores Chemical-Based, Non-Chemical Based, and Advanced Fabrication Methods The Graphene Science Handbook is a six-volume set that describes graphene’s special structural, electrical, and chemical properties. The book ...

Birefringent materials have many applications in optical devices. An approach to obtain optically induced birefringence is to employ a guesthost strategy, using a polymer matrix containing an azodye. However, such method ...

In order to increase the hydrophilicities and to improve dyeability, poly(ethylene terephathalate) (polyester) fabrics were treated in low pressure and temperature plasma. Different plasma atmosphere were used in this work, ...

The use of composites in structural applications requires the study of specific properties to ensure that these materials are safe and an excellent option to replace some metals, for example. In the present study, vacuum ...

Graphene is a very promising material for different applications including catalysis, biomedical research and photovoltaics between other. Graphene can be prepared from chemical modification of graphene oxide that is ...

The count intercept is a robust method for the numerical analysis of fabrics Launeau and Robin (1996). It counts the number of intersections between a set of parallel scan lines and a mineral phase, which must be identified ...

Magnetic fabric and rock-magnetism studies were performed on the four units of the 578 +/- 3-Ma-old Piracaia pluton (NW of Sao Paulo State, southern Brazil). This intrusion is roughly elliptical (similar to 32 km(2)), ...

In this work, we present a new method for the design of heat flux manipulating devices, with emphasis on their fabricability. The design is obtained as solution of a nonlinear optimization problem where the objective ...

A hospital that has a high incidence of acquired infections during the stay of patients in it is not considered efficient, since as Florence Nightingale, an English lady who died in 1910 and founder of the modern school ...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the construction of constant temperature hot wire anemometers. Different options are analyzed for the fabrication of sensors and electronics. A practical and simple method is developed ...
