... of the brake disc were obtained in sample 13. The composition of sample 13, which has the highest friction coefficient, is 3 g brass powder, 9 g cashew, 9 g carbon fibre, 9 g copper dust and 9 g graphite. Lastly, the average friction coefficients of brake pads were estimated through artificial neural network...

...Jun Song, PhD; Gang Song, MSc; Jian Wang, PhD Nickel (Ni)-based catalysts supported by different active carbons (C) were prepared and used for vapor-phase carbonylation of ethanol. The microstructural properties of carbon supports were well investigated by using physical adsorption of nitrogen...

...Venkatesh Pilli; Ritwik Sarkar Alumina (Al₂O₃)–carbon (C) refractories are widely used in the continuous-casting process of steel production, particularly in flow-control devices, because of their excellent thermal, thermomechanical and corrosion properties. These functional...

... carbon (C) fillers at different weight fractions (up to 45 wt.%) were added into the polymer matrix by using an ultrasonic mixer. Composite test specimens were prepared by using the doctor blade thin-film fabrication method. The in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivity values of the composites...

...Sunirmal Saha, PhD; Smrutisikha Bal, PhD The present study focuses primarily on dynamic mechanical analysis of neat epoxy and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)/epoxy composites. The results demonstrated a profound increment in storage modulus, loss modulus and tan δ in the case...

...Deepmala Gupta, BTech; Bhasker P. Choudhary, MSc, MTech; Nakshatra B. Singh, PhD; N. S. Gajbhiye, PhD Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are nature’s finest gift to mankind, the most amazing and wonderful nanostructure that the human being has discovered so far. CNT are either single walled or multiwalled...
