Through Diamond Robust Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Thin film diamond growth offers a unique opportunity for Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS); the encapsulation of plasmonic nanostructures within a transparent, chemically stable, and physically robust coating. The diamond acts as both a window and protective layer, enabling illumination of the plasmonic nanostructures through the diamond ...

Abrasion behavior of aluminum and composite skin coupons, stiffened skins and stiffened panels representative of transport airplane structures [PDF]
A three-phase investigation was conducted to compare the friction and wear response of aluminum and graphite-epoxy composite materials when subjected to loading conditions similar to those experienced by the skin panels on the underside of a transport ...

Fluorine‐Free Soft Nanocomposites for High‐Speed Liquid Impact Repellence
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Fluorine‐free soft nanocomposite coatings are developed using silicone oil‐mediated mechanical‐stiffness control, enabling ‘dry’ liquid‐repellent surfaces that resist high‐speed water jet impacts up to ∼60 m/s. By tuning nanoparticle loading and oil content, the coatings also achieve >90% optical transparency, amphiphobicity with impact resistance to ...

An experimental approach to ground stone tool manufacture
Journal of Lithic Studies, 2016 The manufacture of ground stone tools has long been a topic of interest for archaeologists. Ground stone tools made of specific stone types (e.g., limestone, basalt, granite) have been investigated with regards to the technology chosen by craftsmen, the ...

Planning long-term maintenance for electric vehicle charging infrastructure using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) method [PDF]
, 2012 Electric vehicles (EVs) are mainly known for their advantages as emission free, energy efficient and noiseless transport, but electric mobility has never matured in the automotive market and it remains in the shadow of the internal combustion engine (ICE)

NTF: Soldering Technology Development for Cryogenics [PDF]
, 1985 The advent of the National Transonic Facility (NTF) brought about a new application for an old joining method, soldering. Soldering for use at cryogenic temperatures requires that solders remain ductile and free from tin-pest (grey tin), have toughness ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Breathable membranes that reject chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are required for next‐generation protective apparel. A dual‐function graphene oxide (GO)‐polyamine architecture is introduced that addresses the long‐standing tradeoff between vapor transmission and CWA selectivity.
