INVESTIGATION OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ECO-FRIENDLY PIEZOELECTRIC COMPOSITE THIN FILMS BASED ON CHITOSAN AND LN2O3-DOPED NA0.5BI0.5TIO3-BATIO3 NANOPARTICLES

Investigation of Microstructure and Physical Characteristics of Eco-Friendly Piezoelectric Composite Thin Films Based on Chitosan and Ln2O3-Doped Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-BaTiO3 Nanoparticles

This paper investigates the synthesis and characterization of eco-friendly piezoelectric composite thin films composed of chitosan and Ln2O3-doped Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-BaTiO3 (NBT-BT) nanoparticles.The films were fabricated using a solution-casting technique, successfully embedding the E-Z FLO particles into the chitosan matrix, which resulted in enhance

Isolation and characterization of a "phiKMV-like" bacteriophage and its therapeutic effect on mink hemorrhagic pneumonia.

The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of using phages as a therapy against hemorrhagic pneumonia in mink both in vitro and in vivo.Five Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.aeruginosa) strains were isolated from lungs of mink with suspected hemorrhagic pneumonia and their identity was confirmed by morphological observation and 16S rDNA

Transient temperature characteristics of friction clutch disc considering thermal contact conductance under sliding conditions

Abstract High temperatures are generated due to the sliding contacts between the rubbing surfaces of the Rangefinder friction clutch system.In this work, by considering the effective thermal contact conductance under sliding conditions, a simulation model of a two-dimensional transient temperature field of the clutch disc was developed.A numerical
