AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Particulate matter (PM) pollution causes adverse health effects and millions of deaths each year. PM or aerosol, is difficult to characterize because of its wide range of particle sizes, constituents (various organic and inorganic compounds), concentration ...
Elastomer composites are prepared by infiltrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) into a porous ceramic structure of nanoparticles. This method differs from the conventional approach, where particles are dispersed into the polymer matrix, since here, the polym ...
Investigations on the fatigue strength of steel reinforcement bars (rebars) mainly involves fatigue tests with hot rolled (HR) and cold worked (CW) steels. However, in the last few decades, HR and CW rebars were replaced by quenched and selftempered (QST) ...
The current energy crisis demands the development of new sustainable energy sources and devices with low environmental impact, including in the field of electrochemical cells. Mass transport limitations can reduce the overall performance of the device by l ...
Supramolecular interactions play an important role in defining the structure and the resulting mechanical properties of materials. For instance, interchain hydrogen-bonding in PAs gives them superior strength and stiffness in engineering materials, while t ...
Several toughening mechanisms, such as fibre bridging, can occur during delamination of fibre reinforced composites. In structures made of composite bonded joints, delamination can occur either in the composite or in the adhesive layer. In the first case c ...
The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of interfacial chemistry on the properties of fluoropolymer composites, independent of effects derived from changes in morphology, in particular particle dispersion state. A comparative study of solvent ...
Electron microscopy offers a wide range of techniques to study materials. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM), in particular, allows the characterisation of samples at high-temperature using a laser heating stage, and under various gaseous at ...
Unveiling the correlation between elemental composition, Fermi-level splitting, and charge collection in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) when exposed to different environments is crucial to understanding the origin of defects. This will enable defect enginee ...
The mechanical behaviour of metallic materials that have a microstructure composed of a brittle phase embedded in a ductile matrix is dictated by a complex interplay of factors such as local phase properties, cohesive properties, geometrical characteristic ...
