This dissertation studies synthesis, microstructure and properties of binary and ternary carbide thin films deposited by dc magnetron sputtering. These kind of materials are fascinating as they present an array of useful properties, like high hardness, resistance to wear and oxidation, and
This report focuses on the study of nanomaterials as a packaging material for the food industries. Reviews were carried out and the various properties exhibited by various nanomaterial used in the packaging industry were looked into. An investigation was also done on
In this Thesis, I have investigated multifunctional nanostructured Ti-Si-C thin films synthesized by magnetron sputtering in the substrate-temperature range from room temperature to 900 °C. The studies cover high-temperature growth of Ti3SiC2 and Ti4SiC3, low-temperature growth of Ti-Si-C nanocomposites, and Ti-Si-C-based multilayers,
