Supercapacitors (SCs) are one of the most promising electrical energy storage technologies
systems due to their fast storage capability, long cycle stability, high power density, and …

Glass-ceramics offer the opportunity to address the main disadvantage of oxide glasses,
namely low fracture toughness. The presence of crystals can improve the fracture toughness …

Microelectronic technology has possibly reduced the power consumption rate of portable
electronic devices and has led to harvest its energy from the environment through …

A novel finite deformation FE model is developed in this paper for coupled electro-
mechanical response with crack evolution in heterogeneous piezoelectric composite …

Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics are expected to be used for artificial bone scaffolds since
they can generate electrical signals and promote recovery, but it is still difficult to fabricate …

SiC ceramic nanoparticles were incorporated into the A356 aluminum matrix with different
compositions using a combination of stir casting and semisolid extrusion. The microstructure …

The unique ability of piezoelectric materials to generate electricity spontaneously has
attracted widespread interest in the medical field. In addition to the ability to convert …

In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA)-sodium potassium niobate (NKN) composites with varying
concentrations of NKN (10, 20, and 30 wt%) were optimally developed at 1075° C for 2 h …

Despite having excellent osteoconductivity and biocompatibility, hydroxyapatite (HA)
exhibits inadequate mechanical properties and bacterial susceptibility, which limits its …

Abstract In this study, Ti-Si-C based composite coatings were fabricated by plasma spraying
of aggregated powders of Ti/SiC/graphite. These coatings were subsequently annealed in …
