Sensitivity and mechanical properties are the key factors that affect the performance of strain-
sensitive etched fiber Bragg grating (EFBG) sensors. Typically, EFBG sensors are fabricated …

Being a nonequilibrium material, the structure of glass varies with the sample history. Thus,
the initial surface condition of a glass can vary with the preparation condition and have a …

Fluid flow in porous media is affected by surface characteristics such as roughness and
topography. In this work, to simulate the surface of natural porous structures in transparent …

Acids have been used to treat glass surfaces to achieve functional advantage for years.
Despite how common these types of treatments are, it is surprisingly rare to find detailed …

Modern mainstream glass sunroof designs are focused on achieving color neutrality for both
transmitted and reflected light. There is a growing interest, however, in creating new, bolder …

A comprehensive evaluation of surface topography can contribute to many appropriate
responses on the properties of manufactured products. Precise measurement and data …

Understanding the surface properties of glass during the hydrogen fluoride (HF)-based
vapor etching process is essential to optimize treatment processes in semiconductor and …

Surface roughness of glass is desired to be arbitrary controlled because it affects a variety of
properties such as tactile impression, optical properties, and contact chargeability. While the …

Polyurea-crosslinked calcium alginate (X-Ca-Alg) aerogels were investigated under
physiological relevant conditions and showed signs of degradation. Geometric and spectral …

In this study, waste glass was utilised as an aggregate substitution. Hydrofluoric acid (HF)
was applied as an etching agent to roughen waste glass' surface. Five mix designs …
