This study investigates the potential for energy and water sustainability in hot and humid climates by utilizing the condensate captured from large dedicated air handling units (AHUs) for pre-cooling outdoor air in another AHU and subsequently offsetting c ...
Thermally sprayed hardmetal coatings can be used to improve the wear or fatigue resistance of mechanical parts. Depending on the deposition conditions, their microstructure and phase composition are out of equilibrium at different levels due to the extreme ...

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis was conducted on a polyurethane adhesive at different constant heating rates up to 100°C, covering the glass transition range. Different storage modulus degradation curves were obtained from different heating rates. The differen ...
We report a combined vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), and ellipsometry study of different surfactants on water as a function of surfactant density. Vibrational SFG spectra of surfactants on the water ...
We report here on an integrated mini-lamp module (15x26x4 mm3) with a microfabricated rf-powered Rb dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamp (10x10x3 mm3) positioned on top of a 0.6 mm thick (thickness adjustable) 4-layer LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Cera ...
A heating stage has been developed to perform in-situ annealing in a SEM equipped with an EBSD system in order to study recrystallization mechanisms. High temperature treatments could then be performed inside the SEM, up to 1180°C and with high heating and ...
Structural fire endurance experiments were conducted on full-scale cellular glass fiber-reinforced (GFRP) columns under axial compression and subjected to ISO834 fire exposure from one side. Unprotected columns can resist fire for more than 30 min, which i ...
In the present study, the sintering behavior of a commercial nano alumina powder with an initial particle size of 100 nm was investigated. The shrinkage response of the powder formed by pressure filtration (PF) during non-isothermal sintering was measured ...
The densification and grain growth of bodies made from a commercial ultrafine alumina powder was investigated. The primary powder was initially subjected to dry (uniaxial cold pressing) and wet shaping (slip casting), followed by conventional (CS)-, two st ...
This paper presents the design and implementation of a foil gas preconcentrator (FGP) on polyimide (PI) substrate. One novelty of the paper is that our device is made on flexible foil by using printing whereas all preconcentrators seen in literature are ma ...
