Abstract: Superconducting materials are currently the subject of interest in modern electronic technologies, especially because they exhibit quantum phenomena on a macroscopic scale. The most evident examples are quantized vortices transporting magnetic flux, which movement determines the macroscopic current carrying phenomena in the

Abstract: Thermal expansion is related to the atomic vibration amplitude. Owing to the anisotropy in the lattice, the amplitude will vary with the crystallographic direction, causing strain in the lattice. The strain caused by thermal expansion induces a force large enough to initiate plastic deformation of the metal at the beginning

Abstract: Low density polyethylene (LDPE) containing activated carbon (AC) was foamed with azodicarbonamide (ADC) through an extrusion process. The effects of ADC and AC contents on the cellular structure, void fraction, density, thermal and mechanical properties, and crystallinity of composite foams were investigated. The density of

Abstract: Silver modified polyacrylonitrile-activated carbon (Ag-PAN-AC) composite fibers containing various AC concentrations were prepared by using an electrospinning process. Ag-PAN nanoparticles were initially prepared via in-situ reduction of silver nitrate using hydrazinium hydroxide as a reducing agent. The influence of AC con

Abstract: The processing of fibre reinforced carbon nanotube (CNT) loaded polymer composites (nanocomposites) requires that CNTs be mixed (or loaded) into the polymer prior to impregnating the fibres to fabricate a nanocomposite. The fabrication process uses vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM), which is complicated due to

Abstract: Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) is widely used in the fabrication of bioresorbable orthopaedic and bone fixation devices. These implants degrade over time within the in vivo environment increasing the risk of potential mechanical failure. Therefore it is necessary to better understand the fracture behaviour of PLLA under physiolo
