The object of this thesis work is the understanding of some properties of water molecules adsorbed on carbon systems, especially graphite. Because of the different polar character, water and carbon do not mix very well, but this system is an excellent model to study spatial confinement of water on hydrophobic substrate in the nanometer scale.
Water and carbon are common and their physics and...

Fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have the potential of operating at temperatures greater than 1100°C with minimal or no cooling, which will produce a variety of performance advantages. Achieving a CMC system with the required thermal and structural properties will depend on the ability to design and process the CMC so that it achieves the proper microstructure features. The...

Temperature is one of the stimuli that can be controlled in various applications and more importantly in the field of biomedicine as the human body is thermo-regulated. For this reason thermosensitive hydrogels that can respond to temperature changes have been developed and widely explored in recent years. Block copolymers of various topologies have been designed for this purpose, the common...
