How does a cloud stay cool under direct sunlight––or seem to vanish in infrared? In nature, phenomena like white cumulus ...

This paper describes a pilot process for obtaining protein isolates from white lupin seed with improved water solubility and technofunctional properties as well as reduced thermal damage. After a ...

TBC was created utilizing a plasma spray coating process and a variety of mixtures made up of various blends of YSZ (Y 2 O 3 ·ZrO 2) and aluminium oxide silicon oxide (Al 2 O 3 SiO 2). The ...

The structural changes and failure mechanism of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) during thermal shock cycling were investigated. TBCs consisting of CoNiCrAlY bond coat and partially yttria-stabilized ...

These expert-recommended heat protectant sprays are perfect for keeping your hair healthy, strong and shiny, all while ...

The mechanical properties of π-conjugated (semiconducting) polymers are a key determinant of the stability and manufacturability of devices envisioned for applications in energy and healthcare. These ...

Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings have been frequently used as a thermal protective layer on the metal or alloy component surfaces. In the present study, ZrO 2-7% Y 2 O 3 thermal barrier ...
