... the flame by combining other chemicals or reactively modifying the epoxy resin. Graphene oxide (GO) nanofilms deposited on top of composite surfaces were compared with the test results of nanocomposite coatings of GO and nanoclay particles on composite surfaces. GO thin film applied to the surface of fiber...

...Anandh Balakrishnan; Mrinal C. Saha In this article, we have set up protocols for fabricating thermoplastic polyurethane thin films of about 30 μ m (neat polyurethane and carbon nanofiber (CNF) containing polyurethane) via ultrasound assisted atomization at 20 kHz. From processing to thin film peel...

..., ω is the incident beam angle to the surface, β is the angle of diffraction beam to the surface, and R x is the intensity of the diffraction beam between infinite thickness and thin film sample (0.935 is the most common value used ( 32 )). By substituting each value in Eqs. 1 , 2...

...Thao D. Nguyen; J. D. Yeager; D. F. Bahr; D. P. Adams; N. R. Moody Nanoindentation is widely used to characterize the mechanical and interfacial properties of thin film systems. However, the effects of substrate compliance on the indentation response of compliant substrate systems are not well...

...George Z. Voyiadjis; Babur Deliktas Thin film technology is pervasive in many applications, including microelectronics, optics, magnetic, hard and corrosion resistant coatings, micromechanics, etc. Therefore, basic research activities will be necessary in the future to increase knowledge...

...Ken Gall; Yiping Liu; Dmitri Routkevitch; Dudley S. Finch We examine the mechanical behavior of anodic alumina thin films with organized nanometer-scale porosity. The cylindrical pores in the alumina film are arranged perpendicular to the film thickness in a near-perfect triangular lattice...

...Yong Gan; Dongyun Lee; Xi Chen; Jeffrey W. Kysar Nanocomposite thin films which consist of 50 nm Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles in a copper metal matrix were deposited on a silicon wafer. The thickness of the nanocomposite thin films was about 3 microns and the volume density of the nanoparticles...

...Ki-Ju Kang; Severine Darzens; Gee-Seob Choi Recently, a new method for residual stress measurement in thin films by using the focused ion beam (FIB) has been proposed by the authors. It is based on the combined capability of the FIB imaging system and of high-resolution strain mapping software (VIC...

...Martin Y. M. Chiang; Chwan K. Chiang; Wen-li Wu A technique for determining the in-plane modulus and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of supported thin films has been developed. The modulus and CTE are calculated by solving two coupled equations that relate the curvature of film samples...
