TL;DR: In this paper, trilaminar core-shell composites of Fe3O4@C@PANI were fabricated by facile hydrothermal method and subsequent high-temperature calcination followed by its encapsulation through oxidative polymerization of aniline.
Abstract: The present work reports fabrication of trilaminar core–shell composites of Fe3O4@C@PANI as efficient lightweight electromagnetic wave absorber by facile hydrothermal method and subsequent high-temperature calcination followed by its encapsulation through oxidative polymerization of aniline. The prepared composite structure was characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, TEM, HRTEM, and SQUID. The measurement of reflection loss, complex permittivity, complex permeability, and total shielding efficiency of the composites has been carried out in the frequency range of 2–8 GHz. Our findings showed lowest reflection loss (∼33 dB) in composite comprised of Fe3O4@C:aniline (1:9 wt/wt) corresponding to shielding efficiency predominantly due to absorption (∼47 dB) than reflection (∼15 dB). Such high value of shielding efficiency could be ascribed to the presence of dual interfaces and dielectric–magnetic integration in Fe3O4@C@PANI. In all probability, higher dielectric loss through interface polarization and relaxation eff...

TL;DR: This review addresses new advances in metal, bimetallic, metal oxide, and composite particles in their nanoregime for facet-selective catalytic applications with a view to develop critical examination of the faceted morphology of the particles for catalysis.
Abstract: The review addresses new advances in metal, bimetallic, metal oxide, and composite particles in their nanoregime for facet-selective catalytic applications. The synthesis and growth mechanisms of the particles have been summarized in brief in this review with a view to develop critical examination of the faceted morphology of the particles for catalysis. The size, shape and composition of the particles have been found to be largely irrelevant in comparison to the nature of facets in catalysis. Thus selective high- and low-index facets have been found to selectively promote adsorption, which eventually leads to an effective catalytic reaction. As a consequence, a high density of atoms rest at the corners, steps, stages, kinks etc on the catalyst surface in order to host the adsorbate efficiently and catalyze the reaction. Again, surface atomic arrangement and bond length have been found to play a dominant role in adsorption, leading to effective catalysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel Rheo-process was adopted to improve the distribution of the reinforcement in the matrix and a good combination of improved tensile strength and tensile elongation was obtained.
Abstract: Particulate metal matrix composites (PMMCS) have attracted interest for application in numerous holds. The current processing methods often produce agglomerated particles in the ductile matrix and as a result these composites exhibit extremely low ductility. The key idea to solve the current problem is to adopt a novel Rheo-process allowing the application of sufficient shear stress (tau) on particulate clusters embedded in liquid metal to overcome the average cohesive force or the tensile strength of the cluster. In this study, cast A356/SiCp composites were produced using a conventional stir casting technique and a novel Rheo-process. The microstructure and properties were evaluated. The adopted Rheo-process significantly improved the distribution of the reinforcement in the matrix. A good combination of improved Ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and tensile elongation (epsilon) is obtained. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-cost and simple process was used to fabricate a silver-polyaniline/multiwalled carbon nanotubes ((Ag-PANI)/MWCNTs) nanocomposite for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes.
Abstract: In the modern era, it is still a challenge to develop an easy, inexpensive, and scalable technique to fabricate an energy storage system. Here, a low-cost and simple process was used to fabricate a silver–polyaniline/multiwalled carbon nanotubes ((Ag-PANI)/MWCNTs) nanocomposite for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. The possible interactions between Ag and PANI were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and UV–visible spectroscopies. Morphological study confirmed the formation of Ag nanoparticles in the PANI surface, and the MWCNTs were uniformly coated by PANI with the presence of Ag nanoparticles. The nanocomposite showed better electrical conductivity of 4.24 S/cm at room temperature and also attained nonlinear current–voltage characteristics. The highest specific capacitance of 528 F/g has been obtained for the nanocomposite at 5 mV/s scan rate. The nanocomposite also showed better energy as well as power density. Ag-PANI/CNT based supercapacitors with outstanding energy and power densi...

TL;DR: In this article, small-scale effects on the free in-plane vibration (FIV) of nanoplates are investigated employing nonlocal continuum mechanics, and explicit relations for natural frequencies are obtained through direct separation of variables.
Abstract: In the present paper, small-scale effects on the free in-plane vibration (FIV) of nanoplates are investigated employing nonlocal continuum mechanics. Equations of motion of the nonlocal plate model for the aforementioned study are derived and presented. Explicit relations for natural frequencies are obtained through direct separation of variables. It has been shown that nonlocal effects are quite significant in in-plane vibration studies and need to be included in the continuum model of nanoplates such as in graphene sheets.
