ADVANCES IN MICRO-MANUFACTURING APPLYING TRIBOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES
(2010)Micro-manufacturing is a cover term for manufacturing processes applied to products possessing micro- and nano-scopic features. Due to the scaling of surface phenomena, the tribological aspects of such processes are much ... -
Cation adatom diffusion on the NiO(001) surface by molecular dynamics simulation
(2001)We present results concerning the diffusion of Ni2+ adatom on the (001) surface of NiO obtained by molecular dynamics simulations based on a rigid ion potential model. A wide temperature region was covered ranging from ... -
Computer-aided estimation of acetone, methyl acetate, and chloroform diffusion coefficients in poly(vinyl acetate)
(2003)The diffusion coefficients of acetone, methyl acetate, and chloroform in amorphous poly(vinyl acetate) are estimated using the solvent evaporation method. The evaporation process from polymer solutions, cast in the form ... -
The elastic-plastic indentation response of a columnar thermal barrier coating
(2010)Thermal barrier coatings with a columnar microstructure are prone to erosion damage by a mechanism of surface cracking upon impact by small foreign particles. In order to explore this erosion mechanism, the elastic indentation ... -
Finite element analysis of polymeric membrane and coating formation by solvent evaporation
(2001)The solvent evaporation process from acetone-cellulose acetate solutions is studied as a numerical experiment. The process is modeled as a coupled heat and mass transfer problem with a moving boundary. The resulting ... -
A new method for the characterization of electrically conducting liquid bridges
(2000)An electrical conductance technique is employed in investigating the behavior of constant volume liquid bridges when their length is altered. The liquid bridges are edge-pinned between two vertical, identical rods with a ... -
Numerical modeling of pyrolytic laser-induced chemical vapor deposition
(2003)Laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) is a technique to deposit thin films of oxidation, corrosion, and wear resistant as well as electronic, optoelectronic, and superconductor materials. In order to understand the ... -
A numerical study of interfacial transport to a gas-sheared wavy liquid
(1998)Interfacial transport of a passive scalar from a gas to a thin liquid film is considered. The base flow in the liquid is laminar, with linear velocity profile produced by gas shear. The velocity disturbances imposed by ... -
Oxygen adatom diffusion on the NiO(001) surface by molecular dynamics simulation
(2002)We present results concerning the diffusion processes of O2- adatom on the NiO(0 0 1) surface obtained by molecular dynamics simulations based on a rigid ion potential model. We covered a temperature region from 0.37T(m) ... -
Synthesis and characterization of poly(3-sulfopropylmethacrylate) brushes for potential antibacterial applications
(2007)This article describes the aqueous atom transfer radical polymerization synthesis of poly(3-sulfopropylmethacrylate) brushes onto gold and Si/SiO2 surfaces in a controlled manner. The effect of Cu(I)/Cu(II) ratio was ...
