Electrocatalytic arsenite oxidation in bicarbonate solutions combined with CO2 reduction to formate by Wonjung, Choi

“…Linear sweep voltammograms of n-TEC exhibit a specific As(III) oxidation peak (Ep,As), at which the Faradaic efficiency (FE) of As(V) production is ∼100 %. However, the application of a potential higher than the peak (E > Ep,As) leads to a significant decrease in the FE due to water oxidation. …”

High temperature thermal stability of innovative nanostructured thin coatings for advanced tooling by Cabibbo, Marcello

“…The main problem with steel, isthat itexhibits a relatively low hardness (below 10 GPa) which strongly decreases upon annealing above about 600 K.Thus, the majority of modern tools are nowadays coated with hard coatings that increase the hardness, decrease the coefficient of friction and protect the tools against oxidation. …”

Synthesis and characterization of stir casted Cu-ZrO2-Graphite hybrid metal matrix composites for thermal management structures by Mittal, Prateek

“…The density of the composite sample containing 2 wt. % of each reinforcement was found to be 8.01 g/cm3 which was 10% lesser than pure copper. Hardness of pure copper sample was found to be 35.71 BHN; however, the hardness of composite sample containing 4 wt. % of each of the reinforcements was found to be 70.14 BHN which indicates an increase of around 100%. …”

Effect of gamma irradiation on the microstructure and morphology of polyethylene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol blends by Al-Maadeed, M.

“…Thin films of a blend of 90, 75, 50 (wt/wt%) percentage of polyethylene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol were synthesized and irradiated with 5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 kGy. The presence of PVA leads to diffusion controlled mechanism where it decreases the crystallinity of PEO as restricted crystallization occurs.Low doses of 5 kGy cause crosslinking of the blends and increase the thermal stability. …”
