MICROWAVE ASSISTED SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISATION OF A ZINC OXIDE/TOBACCO MOSAIC VIRUS HYBRID MATERIAL. AN ACTIVE HYBRID SEMICONDUCTOR IN A FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR DEVICE

Microwave assisted synthesis and characterisation of a zinc oxide/tobacco mosaic virus hybrid material. An active hybrid semiconductor in a field-effect transistor device

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been employed as a robust functional template for the fabrication of a TMV/zinc oxide field effect transistor (FET).A microwave based approach, under mild conditions was employed to synthesize stable zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, employing Urn Thermostat a molecular precursor.Insightful studies of the decomposition

Application of Load-Sharing Concept to Mechanical Seals

Mechanical seals are mechanisms that are used to prevent fluid wraps leakage.Since the seal surfaces are in contact with one another, hydrodynamic and contact forces are functions of surface roughness.Additionally, since the lubrication regime under specific operating conditions such as low speed or high load causes the seal to operate in the mixed
