Abstract
Liquid immiscible alloy systems present a unique opportunity for designing composites with sphere-dispersed and/or interconnected microstructures. Herein, we demonstrate that the addition of Pb in Al84TM10RE6 (TM=Ni,Co,Fe,Ti, RE=La,Ce,Nd,Gd,Y) metallic glasses can result in liquid-liquid phase separation in a liquid immiscibility gap and substantially solidifies into a Pb-rich crystalline phase and Alrich...

Abstract
Multi-layer core-shell nanoparticles (YVO4:Nd3+/mSiO2/SiO2) consisting of silica cores (SiO2), mesoporous silica (mSiO2) intermediate layers, and Neodymium doped rare-earth phosphor (YVO4:Nd3+) shell layers were successfully synthesized using the stepwise sol-gel method. The morphological structure and optical properties of the functional core-shell nanoparticles were characterized and evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM),... More

Abstract
The nanofabrication of modern electronic devices requires advanced nanopatterning technologies. To fabricate desirable nanodevices with excellent device performance, controlling the shape and dimension of the pattern is very important. However, to achieve more facile and faster device fabrication, with better pattern resolution, pattern-tunability, process simplicity, and cost-effectiveness, some remaining challenges... More

Abstract
In this study, an electrospray technique was used for the synthesis of macroporous ceramic particles, such as silica or titania, by a colloidal templating method. For this purpose, a suspension of polystyrene nanospheres was synthesized by dispersion polymerization for use as sacrificial templates. The feed solution containing a ceramic precursor and... More

Abstract
This study created alumina structures with the highest hydrophilic properties on 6061 aluminum alloy. The anodization process was applied to make various aluminum oxide structures. To create uniform alumina structures on top of a 6061 aluminum alloy surface, after conducting the first anodization in 0.3 M oxalic acid at 40... More

Abstract
The growth of the PEO coating with processing time on an AZ31B magnesium alloy in a dilute alkaline electrolyte containing silicate and the corrosion characteristics according to its thickness were investigated. The oxide film grew a porous outer layer mainly consisting of silicate with the spark discharge phenomenon from the... More

Abstract
A block Ni-Cr-Al superalloy foam with dimensions of 300 mm (width direction, WD) × 500 mm (rolling direction, RD) × 60 mm (normal direction, ND) was fabricated using powder alloying, multi-sheet stacking, and hot rolling processes. The structural characteristics, microstructure, and mechanical asymmetry of the block Nibased foam were investigated.... More

Abstract
As global regulations of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption efficiency become more strict, the automotive powertrain system has become more compact with lower lubrication viscosity. With the current trends in powertrain system improvement, the operating conditions of powertrain components such as gears are becoming more severe. As a result, it... More

Abstract
Radio frequency identification (RF-ID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. In response to the need to suppress the electromagnetic interference between adjacent RF-ID equipment or systems, this study aims to achieve a thin and multi-resonance absorber using metamaterials composed of patterned grids on a...
