Synthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity Study of the Ternary (Poly Anthranilic acid- Graphene Oxide- Zinc Oxide) Nanocomposite by Abdulwahhab H. Majeed

“…The analyses revealed that GO consisted of nanostructures in sheet form, ZnO consisted of rod-shaped structures with dimensions varying between 39 and 63 nm, and the polymer appeared in regular, sphere-like shapes with different diameters. Thermal analyzes of the polymer showed that the polymer (PANA) partially decomposes in the temperature range (145.3-315.6 o C), and completely decomposes at (315.6, 541.9 o C), which means that the polymer is thermally stable. …”

Effects of Micropit Depths on Tribology Performance of Textured Port Plate Pair by Haishun Deng, Shiju He, Feiyu Mao, Chuanli Wang

“…The conclusions are shown as follows: oil loading capacity would come to its peak when the oil film thickness is equal to the micropit depth; the optimal micropit depth is unrelated to the area ratios and micropits’ diameters. With the same parameters, the effects of antifriction is optimal when the micropits’ depth is 10 μm, while antiwear and surface integrity are optimal when 15 μm. …”
