Innovation in material science progresses the usage of Al2O3/SiC based nanocomposites gas turbine engine components, harp-shaped structure hypersonic rocket cutting tools for Ni, Al alloys, and clutch plate two-wheelers. Thermal stability is one significant properties materials. Future engines may have to operate at very high temperature that require thermally stable material. In this research,...

A novel nanocomposite consisting of polyurethane (PU), poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPD), and silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles was investigated for its application in marine environment through electrochemical techniques. The PoPD/SiC nanofillers were characterized by TGA, XRD, SEM/EDX, TEM analyses. anticorrosion mechanical properties different coating formulation evaluated impedance spectros...

Understanding the role of nanoparticles in magnesium (Mg)-based materials and protective coating provides valuable information to achieve an optimized combination mechanical corrosion protection properties Mg nanocomposites. The present study investigates effects SiC on behavior structure Mg-SiC composites substrates coated by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). Moreover, influence different v...

In this study, a grit-blasting pretreatment was used to improve the adhesion, corrosion resistance and microhardness of Ni-W/SiC nanocomposite coatings fabricated using conventional electrodeposition technique. Prior deposition, grit blasting polishing (more commonly used) pretreatments were prepare surface substrate 3D morphology pretreated substrates characterized laser scanning confocal micr...

In our conversation, Luigi described his research group’s innovation of a CeF3-ZnO scintillating nanocomposite as “simple and scalable”. I am speaking of Associate Professor Luigi Cristofolini of the Physics and Earth Science Department, University of Parma, Italy. The framework for this research was provided by the early works of Professor Wei Chen at University of Texas at Arlington [Juzenas,...

Metallic-dielectric nanocomposites, including Ag-SiO2, Co-SiO2 and WC-SiC, were synthesised on silicon substrates using ion implantation. The electron field emission (FE) properties of these nanocomposites were studied and correlated to their microstructure determined from the measurements of atomic force microscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and t...
