Stabilization and characterization of a nanofluid based on a eutectic mixture of diphenyl and diphenyl oxide and carbon nanoparticles under high temperature conditions
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
(C12H10O), and it is used as an HTF with a maximum working temperature of 400 °C. However, one of the drawbacks of Therminol VP1 is its low thermal conductivity. In recent years it has been demonstrated that the addition ...
Three-dimensional printing of PLA and PLA/PHA dumbbell-shaped specimens of crisscross and transverse patterns as promising materials in emerging application areas: Prediction study
(Elsevier, 2018)
This paper presentsex-anteexamination of advanced polymer materials to detect defects and define andminimize the potential failure of novel polymer products before they arise. The effect of build directionson the properties ...
Towards a comprehensive model for characterising and assessing thermoelectric modules by impedance spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)
Thermoelectric devices have potential energy conversion applications ranging from space exploration through to mass-market products. Standardised, accurate and repeatable high-throughput measurement of their properties is ...
Synthesis of hybrid sol-gel materials and their biological evaluation with human mesenchymal stem cells
(Springer, 2013-03)
Surface engineering of biomaterials could promote the osseointegration of implants. In this work, two types of hybrid sol–gel materials were developed to stimulate cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation of ...
Fostering in-process inspection during process planning using tolerance charting
(Elsevier, 2013)
Integrated development of machining and inspection plans is essential in dynamic manufacturing environments, especially when right first time manufacturing is required. In this work, a methodology, based on a new and ...
Fracture behaviour of poly[ethylene–(vinyl alcohol)]/organo-clay composites
(WileySociety of Chemical Industry, 2009)
BACKGROUND: Ethylene–(vinyl alcohol) (EVOH) copolymer/organo‐modified montmorillonite (OMMT) composites were investigated. Composites with two different percentages by weight of OMMT were prepared using a melt‐extrusion ...
Effect of the unidirectional drawing on the thermal and mechanical properties of PLA films with different L-isomer content
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2013-02)
This work simulates the thermoforming process of two different L-isomer content PLA grades (95.6 and 98%), studying the influence on the induced morphology and the variation in the thermal and tensile properties. The ...
Study of the degradation of hybrid sol–gel coatings in aqueous medium
(Elsevier, 2014-11)
The design and development of suitable multilayered functional coatings for delaying corrosion advance in metals and become controlled-release vehicles requires that the properties of the coatings are known. Coatings ...
LK stability analysis of predictor-based controllers for discrete-time systems with time-varying actuator delay
(Elsevier, 2013-09)
This paper extends the scaled-small gain proposal in Li and Gao (2011) [14], modifying the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional to analyze the robust stability of predictor-based state-feedback controllers for discrete-time ...
Towards an integrated SOA-based architecture for interoperable and responsive manufacturing systems
(Elsevier, 2013)
Manufacturing systems need to integrate information from several sources, manage their business processes and coordinate the shop floor in order to meet the schedule at reduced costs. Holonic manufacturing has been proposed ...
