Characterization Of Fracture Toughness In Amorphous Diamond Like Carbon Thin Films And Coatings
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
Any material containing a crack when subjected to a certain amount of load, will eventually fail. This failure of material can be either time consuming (ductile) or instant (brittle) depending on the type of material and ...
Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance Of Titania Nanobelts Decorated With Gold Particles Synthesized Using Stirring-assisted Hydrothermal Method
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
In this thesis, anatase TiO2 nanobelts (TNBs) have been successfully obtained via an optimized stirring-assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The impact of stirring speed has been studied. Difference in morphology caused by ...
The Effects Of Deposition Conditions On The Mechanical Properties Of Titanium Silicon Nitride Nanocomposite Coatings
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
Titanium Silicon Nitride has received much attention in recent years for its theoretical super hardness and oxidation resistance at high temperature. In this work, the mechanical properties of TiSiN thin films including ...
