Enhancing the nanoscratch resistance of pulsed laser deposited DLC films through molybdenum-doping
(2017)Pulsed laser deposition was used to grow DLC and molybdenum-doped DLC (DLC:Mo) films, with metal contents up to 3.2 at.%, on silicon substrates. The microstructural details of the films were investigated using X-ray ...

The Influence of Crack-Face Normal and Shear Stress Loading on Hydraulic Fracture-Tip Singular Plastic Fields
(2018)We investigated the singular plastic fields at the crack tip of a fracture that is loaded with normal and shear loads due to a viscous flow in a hydraulic fracturing. The level of the expected shear load in comparison with ...

Synthesis and characterization of robust double-networks based on end-linked, pH-responsive first networks
(2015)Abstract Fragile, end-linked hydrophilic tertiary amine based methacrylate (first) networks were mechanically reinforced using the double-network principle, via the introduction of a polyacrylamide second network. Reinforcement ...
