Current methods of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of graphene on copper are complicated by multiple processing steps and by high temperatures required in both preparing the copper and inducing subsequent film growth. Here we demonstrate a plasma-enhanced CVD chemistry that enables the entire process to take place in a single step, at reduced temperatures (<420 °C), and in a matter of minutes....

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted much attention due to their unique properties and great potential in various applications. Controllable synthesis of 2D materials with high quality and high efficiency is essential for their large scale applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has been one of the most important and reliable techniques for the synthesis of 2D materials. In this ...

BACKGROUND Prior studies showing an inverse relationship between low birth weight in offspring and maternal risks of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are limited by lack of information on gestational age and/or insufficient adjustment for confounders. METHODS AND RESULTS In a nationwide Swedish study, we included information on 923 686 women and their first singleton births between 1983 and 2005...

The epitaxial growth of graphene on catalytically active metallic surfaces via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is known to be one of the most reliable routes toward high-quality large-area graphene. This CVD-grown graphene is generally coupled to its metallic support resulting in a modification of its intrinsic properties. Growth on oxides is a promising alternative that might lead to a decoupl...

The controllable preparation of Two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides (TMDCs) is very important. However, the uncontrollable growth SnS 2 by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and unsatisfactory performance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) based on have hindered its applications. Herein, we reported direct synthesis high-quality 1T-SnS with various morphologies via potassium iodide-assis...

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) methods significantly augment the capabilities of traditional surface modification techniques for designing polymeric surfaces. In CVD polymerization, the monomer(s) are delivered to the surface through the vapor phase and then undergo simultaneous polymerization and thin film formation. By eliminating the need to dissolve macromolecules, CVD enables insoluble po...

We have performed a systematic investigation of the influence of growth parameters on the synthesis of vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (VA-SWNTs) by the alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition (ACCVD) method. The growth process of the VA-SWNTs was monitored using an in situ optical absorbance technique and the effects of CVD temperature and ethanol pressure on the initial ...

Abstract Background and purpose A large unexplained social disparity in the occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been documented. The precise mechanism behind these disparities is largely unknown. Biomarkers have improved our understanding pathophysiology CVD. In this study we investigated differences 184 biomarkers linked to CVD, with aim underlying mechanisms socioeconomic CVD explo...

We present a new process to get in-situ-growth carbon nanotubes (CNTs) array device with good FE properties by CO2-assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Field Emission measurement shows that introducing CO2 into CNTs growth system leads to a significant enhancement in the emission properties, both the turn-on field and threshold field decrease. Raman, SEM and TEM investigation resul...

protein- energy malnutrition, wasting and inflammation are frequent complication among patients with end-stage renal disease (esrd). malnutrition is associated with cardiac co-morbidity, inflammation and poor survival in esrd patients. serum albumin is a well-known marker of nutrition in esrd patients. serum albumin is still the most commonly used nutritional marker in esrd patients. c-reactive...
