Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been studied as metal-based drugs that may be used
for biomedical applications due to the fact of their biocompatibility. Their physicochemical …

The ZnO nanostructure is difficult to apply in sewage treatment because of its low
photocatalytic efficiency, narrow spectrum response, high photogenerated carrier …

The adhesive behavior of one-dimensional (1D) materials, such as nanotubes and
nanowires, plays a decisive role in the effective fabrication, functionality, and reliability of …

To solve the low catalytic activity and recycling difficulty of ZnO nanomaterials, a simple and
large-scale synthesized method was used to prepare single crystalline ZnO nanorods with …

Young's modulus of Fe-catalyzed silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires was measured in the
temperature range of 300–575 K by the use of a laser Doppler vibrometer. The nanowires …

Quasi-static peeling of a finite-length, flexible, horizontal beam (strip, thin film) from a
horizontal substrate is considered. The displaced end of the beam is subjected to an upward …

TaC nanowires are expected to be an ideal reinforcing material in ultra-high-temperature
ceramics. However, their growth mechanisms and mechanical properties remain unclear …

The micro-and nanoscale characterization and mapping of surface properties and surface
behaviour is critical to both physical and biological science. Mechanical contact probes are …

It is imperative to understand the interfacial adhesive behaviour of nanowires (NW)
integrated into a nanoelectromechanical system in order to design commercialisable …

A new technique based on optical microscope nanomanipulation is developed to permit
optical observation of the shearing process between cantilevered nanowires (NWs). Real …
