Starch and its derivatives have recently emerged as a sustainable and renewable alternative for petroleum-based expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam materials. In this ...

Novel area-selective molecular layer deposition (AS-MLD) of polyimide (PI) on Cu versus native SiO2 was studied. By use of 1,6-diaminohexane (DAH) and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) as precursors, PI ...

Au/Ge/TiB/sub x//Au ohmic contacts to n-GaAs with textured surface have been developed and investigated. Two types of microrelief morphology (quasi-grating and dendrite-like), that are perspective for ...

A capillary-loop coordinating mechanism is then presented for mounting the crystal for X-ray diffractometry. Experimental results using the proposed algorithms and mechanism are presented which are ...
