Polymer-Nanowire Hybrid Composites Based on PEDOT: PSS and AgNWs for High-Performance Conductive Films in Flexible Devices

By R. Muthukumar, S. M. Prakash, Nantha Kumar P, Dinesh V, Radhey Shyam Meena, Sivakumar, Radhika G Deshmukh, V G Pratheep, Zakir Hussain

Abstract: The growing demand for flexible photovoltaic and wearable optoelectronic devices has intensified research into polymer-based conductive composites that provide transparency, flexibility, and electrical efficiency. In this work, we report the fabrication and characterization of a hybrid polymer nanocomposite electrode comprising silver nanowires (AgNWs) embedded within a PEDOT:PSS matrix, deposited on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The PEDOT:PSS polymer phase, modified with 5 vol% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 0.1 vol% Zonyl …

Tensile and Microstructural Behaviour of Friction Stir Welded AL7050 Hybrid Composites Reinforced with Multani Mitti and Cow Dung Ash

By Alok Kumar, Sunny Chandra, Shiv Kumar Ray, Aahish Kumar Aman, Ashish Ranjan, Md Parwez Alam, Raushan Kumar

Abstract: The study examines Al7050 aluminum alloy composites made by stir casting and bonded by friction stir welding (FSW), supplemented with environmentally friendly Multani Mitti (MM) and cow dung ash (CDA). The study assesses the effects of different hybrid reinforcement contents (0–8 vol%) on the microstructural properties, hardness, and tensile behavior of the base alloy and its FSW joints. Tensile testing reveals an initial decline at 2% reinforcement but a notable …

Dynamic deformation and microstructural characteristics of AA5083 under the influence of electrochemical behaviour using equal channel angular pressing

By Nagendra Singh, Manoj Kumar Agrawal

Abstract: Large-scale Equal channel angular pressing is a great engineering material that has more potential for AA5083 industrial applications. Uniaxial dynamic compressive tests across a temperature of 448 K were conducted for the ECAP technique AA5083 in order to create such a design framework. The microstructure was described using transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscope both before and after dynamic loading. The plastic flow behaviour of the AA5083 was described …
