Polyimide (PI) films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD): Novel design, experiments and characterization [PDF]
Polyimide (PI) has been deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) under vacuum over the past 20 years. In the early nineties, studies, experiences and characterization were mostly studied as depositions from the co-evaporation of the dianhydride and ...

Restorative Dentistry: Dental composite depth of cure with halogen and blue light emitting diode technology [PDF]
Objectives To test the hypothesis that a blue light emitting diode (LED) light curing unit (LCU) can produce an equal dental composite depth of cure to a halogen LCU adjusted to give an irradiance of 300 mWcm–2 and to characterise the LCU's light outputs.

Preliminary investigation on auto-thermal extrusion of ground tire rubber [PDF]
Ground tire rubber (GTR) was processed using an auto-thermal extrusion as prerequisite to green reclaiming of GTR. The reclaimed GTR underwent a series of tests: thermogravimetric analysis combined with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (TGA-FTIR),
