The inadequate selection of materials in the design process in regard to the final disposition of the products has been the cause of unimaginable environmental impacts. There are many examples of this situation. For example: the inexpensive polyethylene plastic bags are used only while transporting purchased products, then, they end up in the garbage or on the street and take between 150 and 300 years to degrade, generating contamination of water beds, rivers, oceans and soil. Another example is found in children’s toys made of polyethylene, polypropylene, among others, which are usually used for a few months and then, when they break, fail or stop being used, they also end up in the trash, requiring around 200 years or more to degrade (Figure1), causing the same polluting effect of the previous case. The situation stated above, should be scaled globally, given that these phenomena of polluting materials in nature are closely related to the rate of population growth, thereby increasing the consumption of products that have been called “singleuse”.","PeriodicalId":18241,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"46 1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80006459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modified SPEs were tested in ammonia vapors with different concentration: 3, 6.2, 12.5 and 25% (wt.). Sensor-testing was performed by monitoring the change in the electrical resistance of the electrodes. The physical characterization of the sensing electrodes was performed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in ATR mode. The surface morphology of CNT/PEG and CNT/ PVDF modifications, after coating with 25% NH3, expressed the effects of ammonia on the surface of the nanocomposite layer. The ammonia solution acts aggressively on the modified surface, causing furrows to form in the uniform structure and very small nanorods of oxides.","PeriodicalId":18241,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75168451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this overview, detailed case studies of the optical properties of Silicon on Insulator (SOI) and Ge photodetectors, based on Forouhi-Bloomer dispersion equation, as function of photon energy (or wavelength) and thickness are presented. The obtained simulation results, based on this relation, are in good accord with the literature values and are consistent with some well-accepted studies.

High hydrogen permeation in palladium allows to use palladium like a membrane material to extra pure hydrogen gas production, as catalyzer for hydrogen penetration promotion in different metals, etc. For aims of hydrogen energy development, in which different types of Me-H systems are applied, most important feature of Pd-H system is in the fact that it is a classic system for hydrogen-metal interaction modelling. Really, all the Me-H systems have rather complicated equilibrium diagrams, and just thermodynamically opened Pd-H has a simple one,1 which looks like binary state cupola in coordinates T,oC, P, MPa, n(H/Pd). Despite the fact that Pd-H is under investigations for almost 200 years, this system is still full of surprises for researchers.1 The simplicity of Pd-H diagram is as follows. Under conditions corresponding to the left of the binary state cupola region (Figure 1), there is a dilute solid solution of hydrogen in palladium which is named α-phase. To the right of the cupola there is a saturated solid solution of hydrogen in palladium, (denoted as βphase, rarely α’-phase). If the figurative point of the sample crosses the two-phase region, a hydride transformation develops in the sample. Hydride transformation products cannot be detected by etching, so their morphology is studied by investigating the development of surface relief on a pre-polished metallographic cross-section in an optical microscope in oblique lighting.2 It was discovered3 that during both α→β and βα hydride transformations, the previously polished metallographic section is irreversibly deformed. As a result of hydride phase transformations, metals and alloys strongly harden and all their physical properties change. This phenomenon was called “hydrogen phase hardening” (HPN).4 If, however, the palladium sample is hydrogenated up to β-hydride state by the way “out” of the two-phase cupola, i.e. by such a way that the figurative point of the sample does not intersect the twophase region, then the hydride transformation does not develop and the metallographic cross-section remains generally unchanged.2 As there were no phase transformations2 proceeding by the way “out” of the cupola, the sample saves its preliminary annealed structure, and has β-phase through all its volume. So samples hydrogenated by the technique ‘out’ of the binary state cupola we name β-hydrides of palladium (β-PdHx). Mechanical properties are one of main features characterizing materials in general and metal-hydrogen alloys particularly. Classic techniques on mechanical properties study used by specialists were always tensile tests, hardness measurements and so on. After the pioneer work of Oliver and Farr on nanoindentation was published,5 through decades the nanoindentation technique became a tool for the measurement of mechanical properties at small scales and even can have greater importance in science as a technique for experimental studies of materials physics f","PeriodicalId":18241,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82820209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This dye has been demonstrated as a promising n-type dopant for organic conductors in its reduced state. In addition, Pyronin B is among relatively non-toxic and low-cost compounds.

These co-products are produced with the use of wastes with specific potentials. In this respect, the characterization of these materials through advanced techniques allows the knowledge of physical, chemical, thermal, structural, etc. properties. In the industry are generated several types of waste in its production cycle such as ferrous, non-ferrous, metallic materials, ceramic materials, biomass, etc. Knowing the production process to which a given waste is generated, it is possible to optimize the production to decrease its generation and / or to know exactly that material / residue in such a way as to apply it in a given process in the future. This knowledge generates added value. Then, the valorization of these residues and their use in the production of new materials widens the knowledge be it in the analysis of the life cycle of that material used initially until the end of its life, in the form of residue. Of course, there is a need for advanced materials processing which involves technology to the point of developing new advanced materials with specific characteristics: bioengineering applications, composites, functional materials, environmental materials, etc. There are several types of materials generated from the production processes and depending on their characteristics they have properties which may be superior when compared to the materials originally used in a conventional industrial process. For example, adding a specific percentage of a study material to a metal alloy can greatly improve its mechanical properties. Faced with this, it is important to consider that natural resources are scarce and in many cases, are no longer so easily found in nature. The environmental impact caused mainly when one thinks of ore extraction is enormous, when evaluated from the outset. We, as researchers and doctors of knowledge, need to see the productive processes with greater attention mainly what to do with the waste generated.
