The thesis entitled “EMI shielding materials derived from epoxy based nanocomposites” systematically studies the effect of CF and surface modified CF on the EMI shielding of epoxy composites. In addition, to target the ...

The work herein aims at developing precipitation-strengthened aluminium-copper (Al-Cu) alloys that can meet the current challenges of the aeronautical and automobile sectors to increase the fuel efficiency where operating ...

Two new high-temperature alloy systems have been discovered recently at the Indian Institute of Science, which form the basis of this thesis. The first alloy system is an Intermetallic-Intermetallic eutectic composite ...

Eutectic alloys find a wide application in industrial cast alloys, solder alloys, and in the emerging field of functional materials. Apart from technological applications, multiphase eutectic alloys have also received keen ...

Solidification of eutectic systems delivers compelling examples of microstructure formation, which makes the phenomena intriguing to many engineers and scientists. Therefore, eutectic solidification is extensively studied ...

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) possess very attractive mechanical properties like high yield strength (~ 2 GPa), high elastic strain limit (2 %), and good corrosion resistance. BMGs display fracture toughness values (in mode ...

Metals and alloys are extensively used to prepare a wide variety of biomedical implants. The commonly employed materials are stainless steel (SS), cp-Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, etc., because of their biocompatibility and corrosion ...

In this thesis we have investigated the structure, property correlation of the lead-free piezoelectric ceramic of (Ba,Ca) (Ti,Zr/Sn)O3 system. A self-consistent set of experimental techniques such as X-ray powder diffraction, ...

High performance perovskite (ABO3) based piezoceramics are used as actuators, pressure sensors, and transducers in wide-ranging applications spanning sectors like health, space, defence and automobiles. For over four ...

Metal structures of nanometer to micrometer sizes in different configurations, such as thin films, thick coatings and 3D interconnects, are widely used for conducting electrical signals in several semiconductor-based ...
