An important aspect in the development of semiconducting devices for use in photovoltaic systems is the design of materials with appropriate band gaps. Electronic structure calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) have been extensively used to study and to describe such properties of...

The films produced were subsequently annealed at 140 C for 10...
Download PDF ↓The behaviour of sodium hydroxide treated sisal fibre-reinforced polyester composite subjected to environmental ageing conditions has been studied with the aim of modelling its effect on the composite fracture damage for the purpose of long-term performance prediction. The composite was...
