The thermal behaviour of organometallic films was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) between 25 and 550-degrees-C at 10-degrees-C min-1. From the kinetic data obtained by TGA, it was found that the thermostability ...

Starch-based films can have their poor technological properties improved by lipid supplementation using emulsification step as strategy. Our aim was to evaluate the incorporation of carnauba wax (0−15 wt%) using emulsion ...

Thin films deposited from propanol-chloroform-argon mixtures by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at different partial pressures of chloroform in the feed, CCl, were characterized after two years of aging and their ...

Methylcellulose films with and without sorbitol addition were developed. The major objective of this study was to attempt insights into the stability of the methylcellulose-based film properties after having been subjected ...

Periodic quantum mechanics DFT calculations have been employed to investigate surface and electronic properties of β-PbO2 thin films and binary β-PbO2/SnO2 thin films with crystallographic planes (001), (010), (101), and ...

The aim of the present work was to study the passive film stability and pitting corrosion behavior of the AISI 409 stainless steel. The electrochemical tests were carried out in 0.1 M NaCl solution at room temperature. The ...
