TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview on recent progress in the development and characterization of gas sensors based on nanocarbon materials and their hybrids, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers and carbon black.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the sintering temperature on the phase evolution, pore morphology, bulk density, water absorption, porosity, thermal conductivity, mechanical properties and chemical stability was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the approximate glass forming region in the ZnO-Fe 2 O 3 -P 2 O 5 ternary system was determined and phase identification was conducted by X-ray diffraction.

TL;DR: In this article, coal gangue was used in preparation of glass-ceramic foams for energy-saving insulation material for nonbearing wall, and the results showed that the glass foam with 40% coal gangues exhibited its optimal performance with the lowest porosity and adequate strength.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the phase transformation of GeO2 glass to nanocrystals can be triggered at ambient conditions when subjected to aqueous environments, breaking the traditional understanding of phase transformation and bringing about a significant revolution and contribution to the classical glass-crystallization theories.
