Investigation of wear resistance of polymer-coated radial bearing running on micropolar lubricant by V. I. Kirishchieva, M. A. Mukutadze

“…Based on the equation of the flow of truly viscous liquid for a «thin layer» and the continuity equation, a self-similar solution is found taking into account the groove and without taking into account the groove, as a result, the velocity and pressure fields in the groove and on the surface of the polymer antifriction composite coating are determined, as well as the load capacity and friction force allowing to determine the increase in wear resistance; an increase in duration of the hydrodynamic regime. …”

ENHANCED SENSITIVITY OF SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE SENSOR BASED ON COMBINATION OF Au/PEDOT:PSS NANOLAYERS by Nguyen Van Sau, Ma Thai Hoa, Nguyen Xuan Thi Diem Trinh, Nguyen Tan Tai

“…The simulations show that a sensor based on a combination of Au/PEDOT:PSS layers with thicknesses of 40 nm and 5 nm, respectively, offers a sensor sensitivity of 186.07°/RIU, which is 1.2 times better than that of a sensor using only a thin Au layer. The enhancement in sensor sensitivity offers advantages for early detection of small concentrations of bacteria in biomedical and chemical applications.…”

Demonstration of space-time wave packet carrying orbital angular momentum across scattering media by Mbaye Diouf, Kimani C. Toussaint Jr

“…In this article, we experimentally generate a vortex space-time (ST) wave packet carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) and confirm that the OAM of the beam survives after propagating either in the presence of a line obstruction or across a thin scattering medium. A comparison of our findings with both Bessel and standard Gaussian beams carrying OAM reveals that ST-OAM wave packets exhibit a significantly higher mean Pearson’s correlation coefficient compared to these other beams. …”

Improving the Interfacial Bond Properties of the Carbon Fiber Coated with a Nano-SiO2 Particle in a Cement Paste Matrix by Gwang-Hee Heo, Jong-Gun Park, Ki-Chang Song, Jong-Ho Park, Hyung-Min Jun

“…Nano-SiO2 particles were entirely covered and uniformly distributed on the surface of the carbon fiber, resulting in the formation of a thin layer of nano-SiO2 particles. A thin layer of nano-SiO2 particles reacted with Ca(OH)2 to form a calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) gel, which is most helpful to increase the form between the fiber and the matrix. …”
