Improving the operational stability of polymer solar cell modules
Indoor and outdoor stability measurements are used to compare the lifetime of fully roll-to-roll organic solar cell modules.
Thermoelectric Devices for Power Generation
A comprehensive review on recent progress of the bismuth telluride-based and the skutterudite-based TE devices is given.
Grain boundary segregation energy of phosphorus in 12Cr1MoV steel
Equilibrium grain boundary segregation of P in 12Cr1MoV steel after aging of 15 h under elastic stress of 30 MPa equals nearly to that after thermal aging.
3D printed silicon carbide for space optics
Direct ink writing has been used to print ultra-lightweight microwave components directly from silicon carbide.
Towards custom-tailored porous structures by ice-templating
A new approach helps to provide further means for the production of custom-tailored porous materials using the ice-templating process.
Numerical modeling of sheet metal forming processes
This special issue is concerned with the numerical modeling of metal sheet forming.
Roll-to-roll printing of flexible organic power transistors
The same roll-to-roll printing methodologies can be explored for printing of electrochromics, transistor logic and solar cell power units.
Stable and Metastable Multi-Phase Systems for Elevated Service Temperatures
Articles from the German Research Foundation Research Training Group “Stable and Metastable Multi-Phase Systems for Elevated Service Temperatures” are presented.
Mechanical Properties of Fiber-reinforced Polymer Derived Ceramics
Researchers from Erlangen-Nuremberg investigated the fracture behaviour of fiber reinforced ceramic composites with Ti3SiC2 fiber coatings.
