The polyaromatic hydrocarbon coronene has been the molecule of choice for understanding the physical properties of graphene for over a decade. The modelling of the latter by the former was considered to be valid, as since it was first synthesised in 1932, the physical behaviour of coronene has been determined extremely accurately. We recently discovered however, an unforeseen polymorph of coron...

Rheological Properties Such as Viscosity (η), Shear Stress (τ), and Torque (M) of the mixtures of (HTPB) with Octagon (HMX), Hexogen (RDX), and 2, 6 Diamino-4-Phenyl-1, 3, 5 Triazine (DAPTA) mixtures were measured. The experimental design was arranged for three factors at two levels (High and low levels). Temperature of the mixture (°C), Speed of the stirrer (rpm), Mixing Time (minutes) have be...

Microwave absorbing property of composites containing Ag nanoparticles filled multiwalled carbon nanotube buckypaper (Ag-BP) has been investigated. Buckypaper doped with silver was prepared by direct dispersion and filtration method. From the low temperature resistivity measurement it was found that increasing doping level decreases the electrical conductivity of the buckypaper. 30 wt. % and 40...

Ferroelectrics with spontaneous electric polarization play an essential role in today's device engineering, such as capacitors and memories. Their physical properties are further enriched by suppressing the long-range polar order, as exemplified by quantum paraelectrics with giant piezoelectric and dielectric responses at low temperatures. Likewise in metals, a polar lattice distortion has been...

A state of the art review of atmospheric icing sensors is presented in this article, in order to understand their design and working principle for future developments. It is found that most atmospheric icing sensors which are capable of delivering maximum information are based upon direct measurement of the physical properties (electrical or mechanical) of atmospheric ice. Some field measuremen...
