HiPIMS deposition of VO2 thermochromic coating for enhanced optical properties by Vu, Tuan Duc

“…The high crystallinity rendered by short deposition duration and high ionization in HiPIMS process opens opportunities to apply high quality VO2(M) thin film onto a variety of substrate more efficiently. Expanding from the established foundational method in chapter 4, modification to the substrate was made through development of a template-based bottom-up approach to economically produce controlled biomimetic antireflective nanostructured coatings. …”

The evolution and fate of waste plastics in landfills subject to physical and biochemical processes — implications for microplastics by Lu, Xuhong

“…EPS has a lower stiffness than LDPE, thus generates more MPs under the same compression conditions. Stress-dependent and time-dependent fragmentation mechanisms are distinguished, the former is driven by sand-plastic porosity reduction and the latter is due to microscopic interfacial creep with minimal porosity reduction. …”
