Electron-Tuned Interfaces Build Stronger Metal-Polymer Bonds Without Adhesives
1+ hour, 29+ min ago (192+ words) A new donor-acceptor bonding framework shows how oxidized metals and functionalized polymers can form stronger hybrid joints for lightweight engineering. The findings showed that optimizing the electronic structure at the interface increases coordination bonding and joint strength without relying on…...
Characterizing Thin Film Area Selective Deposition with PiFM
2+ day, 15+ hour ago (462+ words) Visualizing area-selective deposition (ASD) of monolayers in ALD and CVD processes is a difficult task, especially when the deposited layer lacks topographic features that separate it from the surrounding area. Chipmetrics addresses this issue with its ASD test chip, which…...
New Machine Learning Method Optimizes Production of Atom-Thin Filters
2+ day, 11+ hour ago (291+ words) Ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials are only one atom thick. They can act as powerful filters at the tiniest scales, even approaching sub-atomic dimensions. In this work, scientists used machine learning to develop a scalable method to grow high-quality (almost defect-free), atom-thin…...
How to Convert Waste Glycerol into Valuable Chemicals Using Cu-Ni Catalysts
2+ day, 13+ hour ago (292+ words) Increasing the generation of glycerol as a waste product from biodiesel manufacturing necessitates its use in diverse applications, especially in industrial chemical production. However, many studies on this process focus on using noble metals as catalysts; this focus should shift…...
Model Carbon Dioxide Separation with Pressure Swing Adsorption and Mass Spectrometry
3+ day, 11+ hour ago (464+ words) Worldwide climate change driven by the greenhouse effect remains a critical environmental challenge. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas emitted in large amounts, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels. To minimize CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, the concept of carbon…...
What Causes Ammonia Oxidation During NH3-SCR?
3+ day, 11+ hour ago (471+ words) This article examines simultaneous reactions that compete with the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides by ammonia (NH3-SCR). Specifically, the described study investigates ammonia oxidation (AMO) and the generation of unwanted byproducts N2O and NO2 over Cu/SSZ-13 and Fe–Cu/SSZ…...
ABB Advances Flow Measurement for Harsh and Low-Flow Applications
3+ day, 12+ hour ago (258+ words) The ProcessMaster FER620 flowmeter. Image Credit: ABB The ProcessMaster FER620 sensor design supports direct burial of the flowmeter without the need for a chamber. The sensor is protected against continuous submersion in water with an IP68 rating. Thanks to a reduced bore, the…...
How to Measure Full-Die Nanoscale Topography with AFM
4+ day, 11+ hour ago (1448+ words) As semiconductor devices increase in both size and complexity, nanometer-scale metrology has become crucial. While conventional atomic force microscopy (AFM) excels at delivering high-resolution outcomes, it generally only covers areas up to approximately 100 x 100 μm. This article details the operating…...
Unlocking Material Insights with Raman Spectroscopy for Real-World Applications
5+ day, 18+ hour ago (1137+ words) In this interview, AZoMaterials speaks with Sudhir Dahal, Product Manager for Research Raman Products at Thermo Fisher Scientific, about the fundamentals of Raman spectroscopy and its growing role in solving real-world analytical challenges across materials science, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and process…...
Contamination Analysis Using FIB-FTIR for Organic Identification
5+ day, 18+ hour ago (1594+ words) In this interview, industry experts Matt Joens and Jaspreet Singh explain how FIB-SEM and FTIR can be combined to isolate, extract, and identify small organic contaminants in complex samples. Matt Joens: A combined FIB-SEM and FTIR workflow is useful because…...
