Perovskite materials impact on the story of the modern human civilization
From simple discovery of CaTiO3 to high-efficiency materials in electronic devices such as sensors, magnetic memory components, electrode and electrolyte materials for fuel cells and solar cells By Prof. Youssef TAMRAOUI Many different elements must come together before the human community develops to the level…
Carbon Free Inorganic Polymers “Geopolymers”
Polymers are macromolecules which consist of a succession of several small and repetitive chemical entities called monomers. Poly- means “many” and –mer means “part” or “segment”. Regarding the chemistry of polymers, two types are commonly known; the organic and inorganic polymers. The organic polymers are essentially formed of carbon and hydrogen-based…
Development of new thin films for corrosion and wear protection
Among the properties of materials, many are related to their surfaces. For example, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of metals are both surface related properties. Corrosion is a phenomenon that depicts the loss of metal because of the reaction with an oxidant. This is…
