The mechanical properties and plastic deformation of a Cu 55.4 Zr 35.2 Al 7.5 Y 1.9
nanoporous metallic glass (MG) have been studied using depth-sensing nanoindentation …

Ordered mesoporous oxides obtained by combining sol-gel and self-assembly exhibit high
surface area, controlled porosity, monodisperse pores in the mesoscale and amorphous or …

An old painting generally exhibits a wide variety of crack patterns. From a strictly aesthetic
point of view, cracks are undesirable; nevertheless, they can be seen as the fingerprints of …

Phase change materials (PCMs) are of interest in many applications which may require
shape-stabilization. In this study, a graphene oxide aerogel (GOxA) reinforced paraffin PCM …

Reducing the delay of backend interconnects is critical in delivering improved performance
in next generation computer chips. One option is to implement interlayer dielectric (ILD) …

In this study, a porous implant model with controllable pores was created, where the pores
were distributed with a gradient change from the surface of each pore inwards. The aim was …

The review article provides an overview of the most important and popular techniques for
evaluating the porosity of thin films developed for various applications. These methods …
