In the present work, functionalized copper nanoparticles (FCuNPs) were grafted onto flax fibers, and the effects on the tensile properties, bonding strength to an epoxy resin, as well as the properties of the flax fiber-epoxy model composites were investigated.The copper nanoparticles were synthesized at ambient temperature by a chemical reduction
Background In 2012, Sri Lankan government announced the enforcement of Pictorial Health Warnings (PHWs) covering 80% of the cigarette packet.Subsequently the court reduced it to 60%, after an interim order sought by the industry.In 2015, new chainsaw file legislation was enforced to cover 80% of cigarette packet by PHWs.The tobacco industry showed
Using electrodynamical description of the average power absorbed by a conducting film, we present an expression for the electric-field intensity enhancement (FIE) due to epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) polariton modes.We show that FIE reaches a limit in ultrathin ENZ films inverse of second power of ENZ losses.This is illustrated in an read more exemplary
