In ambient atmospheres, aluminum becomes rapidly coated with a compact 2–3 nm thick
oxide layer. This native oxide layer prevents the metal surface from further oxidation …

The fabrication process of anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) on a paper-based substrate is
challenging because the use of a highly economical, conformable and ecological substrate …

Nanotechnology, in combination with surface engineering focused on a fabrication of
various nanostructures and new materials, has recently attracted a vast amount of research …

Two kinds of TiO2 nanostructures, ie, TiO2-coated alumina membranes and TiO2-coated Ni
nanowires, were prepared by combining different kinds of porous alumina, template-directed …

CrO42−, WO42− and HPO42− ions affect on the corrosion behaviour of Al in 2M HCl. The
inhibition efficiencies of the additives depend on their type and increase with increasing …

This study describes the low temperature synthesis of α-alumina from aluminum hydroxide
hydrothermally synthesized using [Al (C 2 O 4) x (OH) y] complexes, in which Al 3+ chelated …

Synthesis of gamma alumina from Kankara kaolin using simple novel dealumination,
precipitation and calcination steps and the product characterization have been presented …

With the mass production of well-controlled and low-cost nanostructures on the horizon,
considerable attention has been given to porous anodic alumina (PAA) templates to assist in …

We describe a new haptic force feedback device capable of creating lateral shear force on a
bare fingertip—the eShiver. The eShiver creates a net lateral force from in-plane oscillatory …
