    • Disposable E-Tongue for the assessment of water quality in fish tanks 

      Chang, Chew-Cheen; Bahruddin, Saad; Misni, Surif; Mohd Noor, Ahmad; Ali Yeon, Md Shakaff (Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2008-06)
      A disposable screen-printed e-tongue based on sensor array and pattern recognition that is suitable for the assessment of water quality in fish tanks is described. The characteristics of sensors fabricated using two kinds ...

    • Effect of molecular structures on dynamic compression properties of polyethylene 

      Mohd Firdaus, Omar; Hazizan, Md Akil; Zainal Arifin, Ahmad (Elsevier B.V., 2012-03)
      The properties of polymers are strongly affected by their molecular structures. Therefore, three different types of polyethylene; low density, low-linear density and high density polyethylene were used in this study to ...

    • Er–Pr doped tellurite glass nanocomposites for white light emitting diodes 

      Kityk, Ivan V; Nasser Saleh, Alzayed; Ahmed M., El-Naggar; Reben, Manuela; Wasylak, Jan; Lakshminarayana, Gandham; Ali Hussain, Reshak, Prof. Dr. (Elsevier B.V., 2012-03)
      In this paper, optical glass nanocomposites (nanoparticles sizes up to 100 nm) with composition TeO2–WO3– PbO–xEr2O3–yPr6O11 (x= 0.30 mol%, y= 0.70 mol%) embedded into polymer matrices was reported. The two types of ...

    • High-sensitivity pressure sensor using a polymer-embedded FBG 

      H., Ahmad; S. W., Harun; W. Y., Chong; M. Z., Zulkifli; M. M. M., Thant; Z., Yusof; Prabakaran, Poopalan (Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2008-01)
      A new pressure sensor based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), is described with high-pressure sensitivity. The sensor is configured by embedding the FBG in a polymer-field aluminum casing with an opening on one side, which ...

    • Laser operated elasto-optical features of La 2CaB 10O 19:Pr 3+ polymer nanocomposites 

      Majchrowski, Andrzej A; Lakshminarayana, Gandham; Ali Hussain, Reshak, Prof. Dr.; Michalski, Edward A.; Olifierczuk, Marek; Oźga, Katarzyna; Jaroszewicz, Leszek R.; Lukasiewicz, Tadeusz; Szota, Michał; Nabialek, Marcin (Elsevier B.V., 2012-10)
      We have discovered a principal role of the polymer matrices on the spectral dependences of piezooptical coefficients of La 2CaB 10O 19:Pr 3+ (LCBO:Pr) nanocomposites formed by polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and polycarbonate ...

    • Micropump pattern replication using Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology 

      Pei, Song Chee; Rashidah @ Siti Saedah, Arsat, Dr.; Uda, Hashim, Prof. Dr.; Ruzairi, Abdul Rahim, Prof. Dr.; Loew, Pei Ling, Dr. (Taylor and Francis Group, LLC., 2013-06-01)
      This article shows a low-cost rapid hot embossing poly (methylmeth acrylate) (PMMA)-based micropump replication with printed circuit board (PCB) mold. PCB material offers advantages of low cost, rigid, and rapid thermal ...

    • Preparation and characterisation of polyamide 11/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites for use in angioplasty balloon applications 

      Khairul Anwar, A Halim; Farrell, Joseph B.; Kennedy, James E. (Elsevier B.V., 2013-12)
      With increased demands on catheter balloon functionality, there is an emphasis to blend new materials which can improve mechanical performance. Polymer nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending polyamide 11 (PA 11) ...
