Aluminum foil is a key material for the food and pharmaceutical packaging industries. The packaging and non-packaging industries use foil extensively for their products to protect from possible deterioration from moisture ...

The present work addresses the changing microstructure, bulk optoelectronic, and surface electrical properties of sputter deposited Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) films on the soda lime glass (SLG) substrates as a function of altered ...

Wedge casting technique was employed for binary Mg alloys to obtain the solidified microstructure with the cooling rates ranging from 5 to 150?K/sec. Microstructural features such as secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) ...

The M2 protein is a multifunctional protein, which plays several roles in the replication cycle of the influenza A virus. Here we focus on its ability to promote budding of the mature virus from the cell surface. Using ...

Flash butt weld process parameters determine the weld quality. The presence of weld defects due to inappropriate process parameters leads to entrapment of oxides in the weld causes premature failure. It was also observed ...

Recent advances in the field of additive manufacturing offers significant flexibility in shaping and processing of materials. These techniques have been extensively studied for the manufacturing of entire component, typically ...

Polymer and polymer matrix composite materials are used in automotive applications owing to the high strength-to-weight ratio. However, the joining of polymer matrix composites is a challenging task due to the lower melting ...
