Sintering of Co2MnO4 spinel for protective coatings in SOFC
Protective coatings are often deposited on SOFC interconnectors to avoid poisoning of cathode from chromium species that evaporate from stainless steel interconnects or supports. Co2MnO4 spinel compounds are usually considered as the main constituent of protection barriers. Nevertheless, such …

Nanoenhanced Polyurea As A Blast Resistant Coating For Concrete Masonry Walls
… concrete masonry walls. However, many available protective coatings are not flame retardant. This thesis focuses on nanoenhanced polyurea for applications in improving blast resistance, while possessing improved flame retardancy, of concrete masonry walls. The polyurea that is being researched is …

Probing the Ability of Flexible Hydrogels to Protect Fragile Objects
… particulate additives. None of the bare gels are protective, and nanoparticles like iron oxide or silica do not help. However, the addition of starch granules to the above gels greatly enhances their protective abilities. When a load strikes a gelatin gel with 20 wt% starch, the peak impact force …
