We demonstrate a polarizer-free electro-optical switch using dye-doped liquid crystal (LC) gels. The mechanism of dye-doped LC gels mainly involves the combination of polymer scattering and dye absorption. However, the domain size of polymer networks, dye concentration, LC concentration, and fabrication process can all affect the phase separation process and thus result in dye-doped LC gels wit...

The novel ENEA-INMRI Image Analyzer system has been tested in semi-automated mode for a computer-assisted alpha track counting of electro-chemically etched (ECE) and chemically etched CR-39 Solid State Nuclear Track Detector (SSNTD) chips. A track recognition program based on the Java-Image J processing software was developed. Experimental tests have been carried out to maximize the Field of Vi...

Tungsten-steel metal matrix composites are consolidated using electro-discharge sintering. At first steel and tungsten powders sintered separately then 25 vol% W, 50 W 75 mixed sintered. A thorough process parametric study is carried out involving analysis of the influence particle size distribution, sintering pressure, discharge energy on maximum current obtained residual porosity. Thermal exp...

Abstract. The electro-superplastic effect (ESP effect) can enhance the superplastic deformation ability of alloy, and also make alloy with poor plasticity have properties. Diverse grain sizes LZ91 Mg-Li were successfully prepared through equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process. In order to explore behavior under electric current, an field assisted uniaxial tensile test platform was design...

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) have been employed to degrade biorefractory organic matters. This study investigates the combination of classical Fenton reaction with electrochemical oxidation, the electro-Fenton process, for the treatment of semi aerobic landfill leachate, collected from Pulau Burung Landfill Site (PBLS), Penang, Malaysia. The investigation has been carried out in batch re...
