Optical sensors based on the NiPc-CoPc composite films deposited by drop casting and under the action of centrifugal force
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, solution processed composite films of nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc) and cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) are deposited by drop casting and under centrifugal force. The films are deposited on surface-type ...
Enhanced and durable electrocatalytic performance of thin layer PtRu bimetallic alloys on Pd-nanocubes for methanol oxidation reactions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
As a renewable and promising energy devices, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) have attracted a wide range of interest in recent years. The design of electrocatalysts highly influences the performance of DMFCs systems. ...
Synergistic effect of interfacial phenomenon on enhancing catalytic performance of Pd loaded MnO: X-CeO2-C hetero-nanostructure for hydrogenation and electrochemical reactions
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Hetero-nanostructures have proven to be impressive materials due to their multi-functionalities in various catalytic applications. Here, the basic focus has been devoted to interface chemistry among different domains in ...
Enhanced performance of nano-sized SiC reinforced Al metal matrix nanocomposites synthesized through microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, nano-sized SiC (0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal matrix composites were fabricated by microwave sintering and hot extrusion techniques. The structural (XRD, SEM), mechanical ...
Fumed SiO2 nanoparticle reinforced biopolymer blend nanocomposites with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss for flexible organic electronics
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, fumed silica (SiO2) nanoparticle reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) blend nanocomposite films were prepared via a simple solution‐blending technique. Fourier transform ...
Time-evolving collagen-like structural fibers in soft tissues: biaxial loading and spherical inflation
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
This work considers a previously developed constitutive theory for the time dependent mechanical response of fibrous soft tissue resulting from the time dependent remodeling of a collagen fiber network that is embedded in ...
Real-time vibration-based structural damage detection using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) and vibration-based structural damage detection have been a continuous interest for civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers over the decades. Early and meticulous damage detection has ...
Optimization of linear zigzag insert metastructures for low-frequency vibration attenuation using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2017 , Article)
Vibration suppression remains a crucial issue in the design of structures and machines. Recent studies have shown that with the use of metamaterial inspired structures (or metastructures), considerable vibration attenuation ...
Data enrichment in fine-grained classification of aquatic macroinvertebrates
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The types and numbers of benthic macroinverte-brates found in a water body reflect water quality. Therefore, macroinvertebrates are routinely monitored as a part of freshwater ecological quality assessment. The collected ...
Arrester-less DC fault current limiter based on pre-charged external capacitors for half-bridge modular multilevel converters
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2017 , Article)
The half-bridge modular multilevel converter (HB-MMC) is one of the most promising topologies for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. Unlike full-bridge MMC (FB-MMC) and clamp double sub-module MMC (CDSM-MMC), ...
