Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Electrochromic smart window for modulation of infrared heat by Loke, Jie Yi

“…For a smart window to be function, the material has to exhibit qualities such as dual-band modulation in the NIR and visible range, which permits selective modulation of NIR heat sans influencing visible light transmission. An ideal electrochromic material for the application of smart windows should have high NIR modulation, high visible light transmission, fast switching between bleached and coloured states and excellent long term stability. …”
