Nanomaterial Trends 2015: Nanocomposites and High Strength Nanomaterials

As nanotechnology continues to advance in almost every scientific field, its application in industry has been particularly valuable through the growing use of nanocomposites. A nanocomposite can be a one, two or three-dimensional matrix in which particles (<100 nm in size) have been added to improve a particular property of the material. The presence of these composite materials are able to reinfo

Using Mass Spectroscopy on Metastable Species During Plasma Processing

The presence of particle detectors operated at up to 4x10-4Torr pressures enables operation of mass spectrometers at pressures close to that of several plasma processing systems. This results in a better sampling of both neutral and ionized species obtained from plasma reactors.
