Independent Acidic pH Reactivity of Non-Iron-Fenton Reaction Catalyzed by Copper-Based Nanoparticles for Fluorescent Dye Oxidation

The process of hydrogen peroxide decomposition, facilitated by copper oxide nanoparticles, produces reactive oxidants that possess the ability to oxidize multiple pollutants. CuO/Cu2O hybrid nanoparticles were successfully synthesized throu...

Liquid lithium wettability studies on novel zirconium-alloyed porous tungsten

Liquid lithium wettability has been investigated on novel zirconium-alloyed porous tungsten fabricated by the place-holder spark plasma sintering technique. This paper investigates the wetting properties of liquid lithium on the substrates ...

The Microstructures and Electrical Resistivity of (Al, Cr, Ti)FeCoNiOx High-Entropy Alloy Oxide Thin Films

The (Al, Cr, Ti)FeCoNi alloy thin films were deposited by PVD and using the equimolar targets with same compositions from the concept of high-entropy alloys. The thin films became metal oxide films after annealing at vacuum furnace for a pe...

Effect of Surface Roughness on Adhesive Instabilities for the Elastic Layer

If an incompressible elastic layer bonded to a rigid plane is placed close to a second rigid plane, adhesive interactions between the surfaces can cause elastic instabilities. These lead to spatially non-uniform traction and gap distributio...

Study on the preparation of multifunctional bacterial cellulose-based wound dressings and their in vitro hemostatic performance

Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a favored material for medical wound dressings due to its biocompatibility and water-holding capacity, yet it lacks inherent antibacterial and hemostatic capabilities. To enhance its functionality, a nov...

Dielectric‐Confinement‐Induced in‐Plane Photoelectric Anisotropy in Isotropic Quasi‐1D γ‐GaS Nanoribbon

ABSTRACT The growing demand for polarized photodetection has driven the need for compact, integrated, and multifunctional device architectures. Although one‐dimensional (1D) materials are of significant interest for their innate polarizatio...

A novel fabrication technique for three-dimensional concave nanolens arrays

A novel facile technique is proposed for fabricating three-dimensional (3D) concave nanolens arrays on a silicon substrate. The technique leverages an inherent characteristic of the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resist during inductively c...

Achieving high thermal conductivity of Al–50Si alloy through heat treatment and its microstructural evolution

Al–50Si alloys were prepared by powder extrusion and characterized for electronic packaging. The optimization of powder size, extrusion temperature, and heat treatment parameters was performed to enhance the microstructure and thermo-physic...

Ultrahigh-peak-power laser pulse compression by a double-smoothing grating compressor

Spatial intensity modulation in amplified laser beams, particularly hot spots, critically constrains attainable pulse peak power due to the damage threshold limitations of four-grating compressors. This study demonstrates that the double-sm...

OPTIMIZATION OF HOT AIR SOLDER LEVELING (HASL) MACHINE FOR A ROBUST SURFACE FINISH IN SOLDERING APPLICATIONS
