Results suggest that cold spray is a versatile coating technique capable of tailoring the hardness of Cr3C2-based wear-resistant coatings on temperature-sensitive substrates.
Using standard techniques for tailoring the amount of impurity atoms and other "defects" in semiconductors, "it should be possible to engineer materials to increase the size of this effect," Awschalom says.
This study also demonstrates the potential application of PEM apparatus attached to a superimposed HiPIMS-MF deposition technique for tailoring the growth of multicomponent metal nitride hard coatings.
The technique offers a simpler possibility of tailoring mechanical properties of nanostructures post-deposition by ion irradiation.
Droplet epitaxy has recently emerged as a flexible technique for tailoring the morphology of quantum structures [3, 5 11] including dots, double-dots [5], molecules [6], rings [7] and double-rings [8, 9].
Our results support the combination of different modification techniques to tailor structural and electronic properties of graphene and other 2D materials.
This article will focus on state-of-the-art synthetic techniques to tailor 1D photonic structures from brush block copolymers and liquid crystalline block copolymers by manipulating interfacial structure, architecture, and composition of these polymers.
More recently, efforts have aimed to circumvent the limitations of developing antibodies in animals by developing wholly in vitro techniques for designing antibodies of tailored specificity.
OAD, a geometrical deposition process which uses a highly directional vapor flux source to create self-organized nanoporous thin films, is a low-cost and highly versatile nanofabrication technique to tailor a wide variety of nanostructures of a wide range of available materials such as metals, semiconductors, and insulators [40 46].
This results in a robust technique to tailor the wetting behavior of polymeric surfaces.
