Graphene is a novel material that reveals many remarkable properties. Academic and industry research groups around the globe are carrying out theoretical and experimental studies to discover and investigate characteristics of graphene. Due to its outstanding properties, graphene has a potential to revolutionize technology. Particularly, graphene was found to be one of the best known heat conduc...

Our understanding of variation in the technology of flaked stone artefacts from mainland Southeast Asia during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene periods has improved little since they were originally labelled ‘‘Hoabinhian’’ in 1932. Chronological and geographical variation has been described in terms of typological differences, but there are few anthropological explanations of lithic divers...

Boards of acceptable quality were made from barky material, pressure-refined from 14 species of southern hardwoods. Static bending and tensile properties (parallel to surface) of specimens were negatively correlated to stem specific gravity (wood plus bark), chip bulk density, and fiber bulk density. Bending and tensile properties increased with increasing densification ratio, but the rate of i...

Reasoning of particular mechanism anomalous thermal transport behaviours are not identified yet for the nanofluids. In this study, iron oxide (Maghemite: MH) and graphene (Gr) flake dispersed deionized water (DW) hybrid nanofluid system were developed first time to evaluate conductivity (TC) enhancements along with analysis TC behavior implementing modified effective medium theories (EMTs). A s...

Homogeneous and transparent CNF films, fabricated from the (2,2,6,6tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl) oxyl (TEMPO)-modified CNF suspension, were laminated onto wood flakes (WF) based on phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin and the reinforcement potential of the material has been investigated. The focus was on the influence of CNF film lamination, relative humidity (RH), heat treatment, and anisotropic proper...
