Carbon nanotube ZnO composite powders, which act as high-temperature electromagnetic wave absorbents, are prepared by homogeneous precipitation.
This paper aims at introducing a new type of multifunctional polymer-based composites, which partially act as a primary structural component as well as an energy storage device, potentially for any flying object, like unmanned air vehicles (UAV), and automotive applications.
The photocathode consists of a p-type Si substrate layered with a Ti and Ni-containing composite film, which acts as both a protection and electrocatalyst layer on the Si substrate.
Partially melted zones in the nanocoating, which act as reinforcements in the ceramic matrix composite, are likely responsible for the enhancement.
The strong interactions between PBA and PVVH, which act as physical cross-linkers, are responsible for the behaviour of these composites.
A gel composite H3PO4/PVA was used which acted as the separator and the electrolyte between the two electrodes.
Based on the results and quantitative evidence, it was proposed that the wood flour acted as an "antibacterial promoter" for triclosan blended wood/PLA composites, which facilitated triclosan migration onto the wood/PLA composite surfaces to kill the bacteria.
This paper presents a development of reinforced ultra-high toughness cementitious composite (UHTCC) participating permanent formwork, which acts as a self-supporting formwork during construction and contributes to the load capacity and durability of the concrete member through the service life of the structure.
In these photocatalyst-graphene composites, photogenerated electrons can be readily captured by graphene which acts as an electron acceptor, leading to an increasing availability of photogenerated electrons and holes participating in the photocatalytic reactions.
This is most likely due to the platy shape of the feldspar which acts as internal lubricant for the composite.
