Here, we present composites and materials that can be prepared starting with boron hydride
cluster compounds (decaborane, decahydro-closo-decaborate and dodecahydro-closo …

Energy is the driving force behind the upcoming industrial revolution, characterized by
connected devices and objects that will be perpetually supplied with energy. Moreover, the …

Boron carbide films deposited by PECVD are subjected to post deposition vacuum
annealing and plasma treatment for investigation of changes in the structure, linear and non …

In this study, boron carbide (B4C) nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by pulsed laser
ablation of boron in ethanol at a laser fluence of 6.36 J cm− 2 pulse− 1. The effect of …

TiB 2-B 4 C composite has various outstanding properties and great potentials in versatile
high-end application fields, and currently the preparation of its monolithic counterpart with …

Boron carbide is a ceramic material whose high cross-section for neutron absorption
renders it practical as a coating for neutron-based detection applications, while aluminum is …

Boron carbide (B4C) is the third hardest material known after diamond or ta-C and cubic
boron nitride (c-BN). Due to its super-hardness and, moreover, its stability up to high …

Amorphous boron carbide (aB x C) networks consist of light elements, and their low atomic
scattering factors makes structural analysis by x-ray diffraction difficult. Electron diffraction …

An analytical model to predict the surface roughness for the plasma-enhanced chemical
vapor deposition (PECVD) process over a large range of temperature values is still …

In this study, we describe reducing the moisture vapor transmission through a commercial
polymer bag material using a silicon-incorporated diamond-like carbon (Si-DLC) coating …
