Understanding biological interaction with graphene and hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) membranes has become essential for the incorporation of these unique materials in contact with living organisms. Previous reports show ...

In this critical review, the preparation methods, unique properties, and graphene oxide structure as well as graphene have been interpreted. Various aspects for the graphene oxide reactivity were also discussed. Graphene ...

Magnesium is a promising material for automotive technology. Avoiding its spontaneous oxidation is, however, mandatory for a feasible industrial application of this metal. We perform computer simulations to demonstrate ...

In this work we study the modal characteristics of localized surface plasmons in graphene-coated, circular cross-section wires. Localized surface plasmons are represented in terms of cylindrical multipole partial waves ...

A bi-phasic and water-stable GO paper was developed based on a simple casting method and the addition of a chitosan (CH) coating layer. While pure GO paper re-dispersed after water immersion water becoming a powder, the ...

The electromagnetic response of subwavelength wires coated with a graphene monolayer illuminated by a linearly polarized plane waves is investigated. The results show that the scattering and extinction cross-sections of ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene oxide (GO) have been used to reinforce PMMA-siloxane-silica nanocomposites considered to be promising candidates for environmentally compliant anticorrosive coatings. The organic-inorganic ...

The 2D Ti3C2/graphene quantum dots (GQDs) composite coating contains numerous merits, which offers underlying solutions for lubrication issues in common conditions. Herein, specific efforts are devoted to explore and develop ...

Steel is one of the most used materials in civil construction and, although it exhibits a very satisfactory performance in terms of mechanical properties, it has the disadvantage of susceptibility to tribochemical mechanisms. ...
