The paint or polymer coating protects the metal underneath from degrading. Although the coating should ideally protect the metal for a long time, a scratch or a defect in the coating can lead to early ...

According to Sun, these grain boundaries are considered defects that hinder the transport ... with LATP ceramics to form a polymer-in-ceramic composite SSE, an ideal material for use due to ...

Abstract: The detection and quantitative evaluation of internal defects in polymer materials are critical for practical engineering applications. This paper introduces a method for the quantitative ...

In comparison, the polymer in other forms has little to no ... What's more, the team found that if they introduced strategic holes, or "defects," in the metamaterial, they could further dissipate ...

In comparison, the polymer in other forms has little to no stretch and shatters ... Moreover, the team found that if they introduced strategic holes—"defects"—in the metamaterial, they could further ...

Owing to their small size, the polymer matrix, and high surface-to-volume ratio ... from interactions with a support, and the presence of defects can strongly affect the thermodynamics of the system.

These figures of merit have been correlated with other defect-determining factors such as micro-strain ... modified PSCs have increased due to the forming of a hydrogen-bonding polymer network, which ...

thus filling the defect and restoring the normal structure and function of the joint. 2.2 Effect of PLA on the treatment of knee osteoarthritis PLA is a biodegradable polymer which has a wide range of ...
