.... The self-assembly mechanics of CNT forests that determine their morphology and ensemble properties remain poorly understood. Few experimental techniques exist to characterize and observe the growth and self-assembly processes in situ. Here we introduce the use of in-situ scanning electron microscope (SEM...

... and depth of the dilution zone in thermal analysis is compared with the experimental results of the repaired specimen to validate the thermal model. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Optical Microscope (OM) analyses, along with a Rockwell B- scale hardness test are performed to validate the outgoing...
