A Simple Sol–Gel Route for the Synthesis and Characterization of Tm-Doped CaAl2O4 Nanophosphor
Abstract: Calcium Aluminate nanophosphor doped with Thulium (CaAl2O4: Tm) was synthesized by simple sol–gel route. The obtained nanophosphor was characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The surface morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also photoluminescence spectra (PL), and thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC) characterization were done. The XRD revealed the formation of monoclinic structure and the particle size was determined by Scherrer formula. It showed that the particles were …

Viscoelastic Behavior, Interfacial Mechanics, and Reliability of Polymer Interlayers in Laminated Glass Composites: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: The laminated glass systems are regarded as hybrid polymer–glass composites where the viscoelastic behavior of polymer interlayers mostly controls mechanical response. These interlayers (polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ionoplast, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), etc.) have time-, temperature- and rate-dependent properties which significantly affect shear transfer, energy dissipation, and fracture resistance. But the baseline polymer-relevant processes at the molecular and interfacial level are to a large extent unknown [1]. This review provides a materials-focused …

Design and Evaluation of Nano-cantilever Beam for Sensing Application
Abstract: Sensor array offers several advantages such as selectivity enhancement towards analytes,multiple component analysis etc. In case of an array system, we see that one cantilever beamcan be set as a reference, while the other beams are subjected to varying loads. As a result,even a very small deflection would be detected with the help of adjacent beams, henceenhancing the sensitivity of the cantilever. By using an array of beams with differentfunctionalization …
