TiCN thin films were deposited on tool steels at $510^{\circ}C$ by PECVD from a $TiCl_4+N_2+CH_4+H_2+Ar$ gaseous mixture. The microstructures and preferred orientation were investigated. The micro-scratch tests were performed using a system equipped with an acoustic emission sensor. Critical loads were determined to evaluate the adhesion of TiCN to substrate. The influences of the microstructures of substrates, double layered coatings, and coatings after nitriding(duplex coating) were investigated. The experimental results showed that the microstructures of substrates and double layered coating did not affect the critical loads considerably. By the duplex coating, critical loads were not always increased. In some cases, duplex coatings decreased critical loads significantly despite of absence of black layer. In this study, we tried to relate the results of scratch test to the residual stress analysis. Nitriding before the coating reduces the tensile residual stress in the film, which gives rise to low critical load in scratch test.

Importance of procuring adequate knowledge about the mechanical behavior of double-layered graphene sheets (DLGSs) incensed the authors to investigate wave propagation responses of mentioned element while rested on a visco-Pasternak medium under hygro-thermal loading. A nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) is exploited to present a more reliable size-dependent mechanical analysis by capturing both softening and hardening effects of small scale. Furthermore, in the framework of a classical plate theory the kinematic relations are developed. Incorporating kinematic relations with the definition of Hamilton's principle, the Euler-Lagrange equations of each of the layers are derived separately. Afterwards, combining Euler-Lagrange equations with those of the NSGT the nonlocal governing equations are written in terms of displacement fields. Interaction of the each of the graphene sheets with another one is regarded by the means of vdW model. Then, a widespread analytical solution is employed to solve the derived equations and obtain wave frequency values. Subsequently, influence of each participant variable containing nonlocal parameter, length scale parameter, foundation parameters, temperature gradient and moisture concentration is studied by plotting various figures.

In the present research, an attempt is made to obtain a semi analytical solution for both nonlinear natural frequency and forced vibration of embedded functionally graded double layered nanoplates with all edges simply supported based on nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory. The interaction of van der Waals forces between adjacent layers is included. For modeling surrounding elastic medium, the nonlinear Winkler-Pasternak foundation model is employed. The governing partial differential equations have been derived based on the Mindlin plate theory utilizing the von Karman strain-displacement relations. Subsequently, using the Galerkin method, the governing equations sets are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The semi analytical solution of the nonlinear natural frequencies using the homotopy analysis method and the exact solution of the nonlinear forced vibration through the Harmonic Balance method are then established. The results show that the length scale parameters give nonlinearity of the hardening type in frequency response curve and the increase in material length scale parameter causes to increase in maximum response amplitude, whereas the increase in nonlocal parameter causes to decrease in maximum response amplitude. Increasing the material length scale parameter increases the width of unstable region in the frequency response curve.

The adsorption characteristics of chromium (VI) and phosphate on calcined Mg-Al-$CO_3$ layered double hydroxides (CLDH) were investigated in single and binary systems. A series of batch experiments were performed to study the influence of various experimental parameters. In this study, CLDH exhibited a high adsorption capacity for Cr (VI) and P in a single system. The experimental data were close to the theoretical adsorption capacity given by the Langmuir isotherm, the calculating adsorption capacities of Cr (VI) and P were up to 70.42 mg/g and 97.09 mg/g, respectively. It was found that the initial pH was approximately 6 and it took 24 h to reach equilibrium when P and Cr (VI) were added simultaneously. The experimental data were best fitted by a pseudo-second-order kinetics model. Competitive adsorption between Cr (VI) and P existed in the binary system. The presence of Cr (VI) had no significant influence on P adsorption. However, the suppression of Cr (VI) adsorption was obvious when the initial concentration of P was up to 10 mg/L with a concentration of 0.5 g/L of CLDH.

We investigated the selective deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) adsorption on layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles via studying the interaction between positively charged LDH nanoparticle as adsorbent and negatively charged adsorbates such as methyl orange (MO), fluorescein (FL), and DNA strands. The size controlled LDH $(Mg_{0.78}Al_{0.22}(OH)_2(CO_3)_{0.11}{\cdot}mH_2O)$ was prepared by conventional coprecipitation method, followed by the hydrothermal treatment. According to the adsorption isotherms, the adsorbed amounts of MO and FL were similar, however, that of DNA were much larger. The adsorption behaviors were well fitted to Freundlich adsorption model. The concentration dependent adsorption behavior on LDH surface was described in order to verify the selective DNA separation ability. The result showed that the LDH has advantages in selective adsorption of DNA competing with single molecular anions.

To improve the acoustic performance of sound absorbing materials, the thickness of the material should be increased or the sound absorbing material having an irregular surface shape should be used. In this study, the acoustic characteristics and methods to improve the acoustic performance of a sound absorbing system equipped with double layered polyester sound absorbing materials were investigated. The numerical model was set up and the results obtained from the model were compared with the actual measurement data. And, strategies to improve the acoustic performance of sound absorbing systems with double layered sound absorbing materials made of polyester with different configuration were shown. So, this study is expected to be usefully used at sites that require high acoustic absorption performance with minimal installation thickness to reduce sounds reflection in narrow spaces such as interior of subway tunnels or in noise barriers installed adjacent to rails.

In this paper, synthesis of terephthalate intercalated Zn-Al: Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was studied. We designed freestanding Zn-Al: carbonate LDH nanosheets for a facile exchange technique. The as-prepared Zn-Al carbonate LDHs were converted to terephthalate intercalated Zn-Al:LDHs by ion exchange method. Initially, Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were deposited on p-Si (001) by facing target sputtering. For synthesis of free standing carbonate Zn-Al:LDH, we dipped the AZO thin film in naturally carbonated water for 3 hours. Further, Zn-Al: carbonate LDH nanosheets were immersed in terepthalic acid (TA) solution. The ion exchange phenomena in the terephthalate assisted Zn-Al:LDH were confirmed using FT-IR analysis. The crystal structure of terephthalate intercalated Zn-Al:LDH was investigated by XRD pattern analysis with different mole concentrations of TA solution and reaction times. The optimal conditions for intercalation of terephthalate from carbonated Zn-Al LDH were established using 0.3 M aqueous solution of TA for 24 hours.

New organic-inorganic composite of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (BP-1) encapsulation into dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) modified layered double hydroxide (LDH) was successfully prepared. The surface, structural, thermal and absorption properties of the BP-1/DBS-LDH nanohybrid was characterized by BET analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis absorbance spectra (DRUV-vis). The interlayer configuration of composite and the adsorption mechanism of BP-1 on MgAl-DBS-LDH were discussed. It was suspected that DBS anions located in the form of monolayer arrangement with a $75^{\circ}$ anti parallel angle between dodecylbenzenesulfonate chain axis. The diffuse reflectance UV-Vis absorbance results revealed that the UV absorbing wavelength of BP-1/DBS-LDH evidently extends to about 400 nm, which shows that the BP-1/DBS-LDH has the potential application as a UV absorber.

ITO/GZO double layered thin films were prepared on transparent glass substrates. Ga-doped ZnO(GZO) films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering using an ZnO:Ga (98: 2 wt%) target. The post deposition annealing process was conducted for 30 minutes at different temperature of 100, 200, 300 and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increase annealing temperature, ITO/GZO double layered thin films show the increment of the prefer orientation of ZnO diffraction peak (002) in the XRD patterns. We obtained Ga-doped ZnO thin films with a lowest resistivity of $1.84{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$ at $400^{\circ}C$ and transparency above 80% in visible ranges. The figure of merit obtained in this study means that ITO/GZO double layered thin films which annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ have the highest optoelectrical performance in this study.

In this paper, the EM wave absorbers were designed and fabricated for X-band sensors using Carbon of dielectric material with CPE. The complex relative permittivity of samples is calculated by the measured S-parameter data. We simulated the double-layered type EM wave absorber with broad bandwidth using the measured complex relative permittivity by changing the thickness and layer, which was fabricated based on the simulated design. The fabricated EM wave absorber consist of 1mm first layer sheet facing metal with Carbon composition ratio 70 vol% and 1.5 mm second layer sheet with Carbon composition ratio 60 vol%. The comparisons of simulated and measured results are good agreement. As a result, the optimized absorption ability of double-layered type EM wave absorber with thickness of 2.5 mm is higher than 10 dB from 7.8 GHz to 13.3 GHz.
