Yet this man of action, with the speech patterns, polished brogues and perfect manners of a prewar British major, was also one of the great masters of English prose.
Carbon nanotube (CNT) films were grown by microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process on four types of Si substrates: (i) mirror polished, (ii) catalyst patterned, (iii) mechanically polished having pits of varying size and shape, and (iv) electrochemically etched.
"The stripes give an impression of widening the room," Mr. Bricke said, "and although it would be safest if you kept the whole floor unpolished, the staggered pattern of polished and unpolished is fairly safe".
Even their color palettes reflect this pattern of polished futurism, beginning with sleek, cold, and calculated blues and purples until bubbly reds and yellow burst into the font.
"Linglei," Yunna Long's highly polished experiment in formal patterns, becomes a protest against conformity.
Our previous article [1] described an attempt to achieve a hydrophobic surface by means of laser ablation process to implement micro-patterns on polished hydrophilic steel surface.
The stress relaxation was reproduced in our THA model, and the pattern in the polished stems was different from that in the rough stems.
Four set of samples were deposited on p-Si (100) substrates with different initial surface morphology: (i) mirror-polished Si substrates (sample 1), (ii) mirror polished but Fe patterned (sample 2), (iii) mechanically polished having randomly distributed pits of different shape and size (sample 3), and (iv) electrochemically etched Si having uniformly distributed pores (sample 4).
More than 70 years later, with its polished nickel and aluminum, geometric patterns, deep seats and curvaceous lines, Art Deco "has finally reached the mainstream," said Elaine Griffin, a New York decorator who likes to incorporate it in her otherwise contemporary interiors.
Further development of the RSA technique enabled measurement of stem/cement interface motion, which was necessary to understand the behavior of polished stems and the failure patterns of stems with a rough surface.
