In the new era of Ambient Intelligence, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are seen to bridge the gap between physical world and the Internet, making a large amount of information accessible anywhere, anytime. Over the last ...

Degradable amphiphilic conetworks, based on end-linked amphiphilic ABA triblock copolymers with a labile fragment in the middle, were synthesized by sequential group transfer polymerization (GTP) of monomers and cross-linker, ...

Silicides have attracted considerable attention for use in thermoelectric generators due mainly to low cost, low toxicity and light weight, in contrast to conventional materials such as bismuth and lead telluride. Most ...

Transistor miniaturization, combined with the dawn of novel switching semiconductor structures, calls for careful examination of the variability and aging of the computer fabric. Time-zero and time-dependent phenomena need ...

Graphene-filled high-density polyethylene nanocomposites varying filler’s size (5, 10 and 25 × 10−6 m in diameter) were prepared by the melt-mixing method, and their thermal properties are then investigated by TG, Py–GC/MS ...
