Experiments are conducted to quantitatively assess the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the interfacial properties in carbon fiber/epoxy composites by directly growing CNTs on the surface of carbon fiber (CF). Wetting ...

A thick copper coating on the triangular plates of vacuum vessels has been proposed for plasma passivation and vertical stability in tokamak. Laser cladding technique is utilized to develop such coatings. However, the ...

Experimental investigations were carried out to elucidate the roles of surface wettability and inclination on the post-impact dynamics of droplets. The maximum spreading diameter and spreading time were found to decrease ...
