Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) such as 8wt.% Y 2O 3鈥揨rO 2 (YSZ) are able to protect the blades and can lead to further increases in operating temperature by providing an effective thermal barrier on the blades. YSZ coatings were deposited using a novel and cost-effective electrostatic...
CD36 is a scavenger receptor involved in fatty acid metabolism, innate immunity and angiogenesis. It interacts with lipoprotein particles and facilitates uptake of long chain fatty acids. It is also the most common target of the PfEMP1 proteins of the ma
Thermal spray coatings (e.g. using thermal barrier materials) protect engine turbine blades from high temperatures and ensures high reliability for a long period of time. In landing gear parts, thermally sprayed coatings are replacing hard chromium plating as the preferred coating method to provide ...
The entity of the repulsive electrostatic energy barrier that colloids have to overcome, to make Van der Waals forces win, governs the aggregation kinetics and the morphology of the final network by deciding whether aggregation will take place via DLCA or RLCA [77]. An example of such approach...
vapour transport (CVT) technique. Single crystals and polycrystalline materials were characterized with powder and single crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction, and their magnetic properties were investigated usingac/dcmagnetometry measurements. Based on our results we were able to establish magneto-...
SIPs deliver building efficiencies by replacing several components of traditional residential and commercial construction, including: (i) studs; (ii) insulation; (iii) vapour barrier; and (iv) air barrier. A SIP-based structure offers superior insulation, exceptional strength, and fast installation. ...
flame assisted vapour depositionTBCsYSZGas turbine engines provide one of theharshest environments for engineering componentstoday. The performance and efficiency of a gas turbineengine are directly related to the operatingtemperature. Therefore, the use of thermal barriercoatings (TBCs) on gas turbine ...
Such intelligent artificial throat has taken a meaningful step toward real-time barrier-free voice communication between dumb and healthy people. As mentioned earlier, wearable mechanical sensors can identify multiple biological features related to human muscle activity which are unique and exclusive ...
Nanoclays are regarded as among the most essential particles for the reinforcement of polymeric matrices and for promoting new and improved properties, e.g., increased stiffness, toughness, flame resistance, as well as gas barrier activity [145,146,147,148]. MMT is the most promising nanoclay ...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recognized as promising materials for membrane-based separation technologies due to their exceptional porosity, structural tunability, and chemical stability. This review presents a comprehensive discussion of th
