Thermal performance of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene dipped in graphene oxide suspensions by Mohammadsalih, Zaid G., Sadeq, Noor S., Salit @ Sinon, Mohd Sapuan

“…GO powder was prepared by Improved Hummers’ method, and four different concentrations of GO (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 1.0) mg/ml suspended stably via ultrasonication in distilled water. 2.0 g of ABS was dipped in each GO concentration for 20 minutes and then, hot-pressed in order to obtain disc-like samples. The findings showed a successful preparation and adherence of GO to ABS that was confirmed by optical microscopy (OM) and Raman spectroscopy. …”

Thermal conductivity variations with composition of gelatin-silica aerogel-sodium dodecyl sulfate with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube doping in their composites by Mahesh, Sachithanadam, Joshi, Sunil Chandrakant

“…The thermal conductivity of GSA-SDS and GSA-SDS/FMWNT composites was evaluated with several mass ratios of the composite mix for 1-D steady-state heat transfer at mean temperature, Tm (300-370K), using Lee’s Disc method. The effects of silica aerogel granule size and mass ratio of FMWNT on the thermal conductivity were investigated. …”

Living with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva: radiological images of a patient with extensive heterotopic ossification by Mohammed Mostafa Kotb, Omar, Usama Farghaly, Kaliya-Perumal, Arun-Kumar

“…Radiographic evaluation with X-rays and CT scans revealed scoliosis and total fusion of almost all levels of the spine, with only a few disc spaces spared. A large mass of heterotopic bone was observed, corresponding to the location of the paraspinal muscles in the lumbar region, branching upwards and fusing with the scapulae on both sides. …”

Titanium–aluminum–polytetrafluoroethylene coated stainless steel micromold via co-sputtering deposition : replication performance and limitation in hot-embossing by Hardt, David E., Chun, Jung H., Saha, Biswajit, Tor, Shu Beng, Liu, Erjia

“…The sputtering power applied to the PTFE target was varied to control the PTFE concentration in the Ti–Al–PTFE coatings, which affected the bonding structure, surface roughness, friction and contact angle of coatings characterized using micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), confocal microscopy, ball-on-disc tribometer and goniometer, respectively. It was observed that the Ti–Al–PTFE coatings were a mixture of carbide, PTFE-like material and amorphous carbon. …”
