All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries are considered the next-generation energy storage systems. However, certain problems arise from the degradation of anode-electrolyte interface hindering their use especially when lithium ...

In this study, we describe new collagen/functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube/chitosan/hydroxyapatite (Col/f-MWCNT/CS/HA) composite scaffolds which were fabricated by freezing ( - 40 degrees C at 0.9 degrees C/min) ...

In this study, hydroxyapatite coating on titanium material substrate was successfully performed by using biomimetic method. Titanium plates immersed in 1.5 SBF at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C were analyzed at the end of the ...

Free standing zinc oxide (ZnO) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposite materials are prepared by a sol gel technique giving a new high capacity anode material for lithium ion batteries. Freestanding ZnO/MWCNT ...

To be able to understand the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members, cross sectional behavior should be known well. Cross sectional behavior can be best evaluated by moment-curvature relationship. On a reinforced ...

In this study, the general purpose Finite Element Code, ABAQUS, with a non-linear solution has been employed to study the neck profile in drawn polymers. Attempts are made to obtain the relationship between the neck profile, ...
