Author:Wellington, Kevin W; Kaye, PT; Watkins, GMDate:Jan 2009Manganese (II), nickel (II) and zinc (II) complexes have been prepared using various benzamideand biphenyl-derived ligands; their structures have been investigated using infrared spectroscopy and it is apparent that, depending on the ligand, ...Read more
Author:Adekunle, AS; Ozoemena, KIDate:Jun 2010This work describes the electron transport and electrocatalytic properties of chemically-synthesized nickel (Ni) and nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) platforms. Successful modification of the ...Read more
Author:Pityana, Sisa L; Rossouw, RDate:Oct 2008The aim of this work was to produce crack-free thin surface layers consisting of binary (Al-Ni, Al-Fe) and ternary (Al-Ni-Fe) intermetallic phases by means of a high power laser beam. The laser surface alloying was carried out by melting Fe ...Read more
Author:Mabhali, Luyolo AB; Pityana, Sisa L; Sacks, NDate:Nov 2010Laser alloying of aluminium AA1200 was performed with a 4.4kW Rofin Sinar Nd:YAG laser to improve the surface hardness. Alloying was carried out by depositing Ni, Ti and SiC powders of different weight ratios on the aluminium substrate. The ...Read more
