Transforming carbon nanotube forest from darkest absorber to reflective mirror by Saleh, Tanveer, Moghaddam, Mehran Vahdani, Mohamed Ali, Muhamed Sultan, Dahmardeh, Masoud, Foell, Charles Alden, Nojeh, Alireza, Takahata, Kenichi

“…They can absorb the entire visible range of electromagnetic wave more efficiently than any other known black material. We have attempted controlled mechanical processing of the CNTs and, surprisingly, observed mirror-like reflection from the processed area with 10%–15% reflectivity, a level higher than typical reflectivity of pure forests by over two orders of magnitude, for a wide range of the spectrum (570–1100 nm). …”

Thin surface layers of iron-based alloys deposited by TIG hardfacing by Sakiru, Adeleke, Md. Abdul, Maleque, Shahjahan, Mridha

“…A maximum microhardness value of 630 HV 0.5 kgf was found on the surface layer processed with lower speed which was 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than the base material. Ball-on-plate wear tests exhibited better performance of the hardfacing layer than the untreated CP-Ti which is attributed to the presence of carbides and silicides in the Ti melt.…”
