  • A metal-organic framework-derived α-MnS/MWCNT composite as a promising pseudocapacitive material for a flexible quasi-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor device

    Nanoscale, 2025
    A metal-organic framework-derived α-MnS/MWCNT composite possesses a higher specific surface area and a favorable pore size distribution which results in a higher specific capacitance.
  • On the Flexible Abrasive Tool for Nanofinishing of Complex Surfaces
    Mithun Sarkar, V. K. Jain, Ajay Sidpara
    Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Systems, 2019
    Nanofinishing of complex surfaces is an important but costly processing step for many products for performing their functions satisfactorily. This paper deals with the development of a flexible abrasive tool for nanofinishing of complex surfaces. A flexible finishing tool similar to the ball end mill is developed by curing Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). A bowl-shaped copper workpiece is finished to nanometer surface roughness value. Different sizes of abrasive particles are used to reduce surface roughness value of the workpiece. A corrosion inhibitor is mixed with the abrasive slurry to protect the finished copper workpiece surface. A final surface roughness value of 50[Formula: see text]nm has been achieved with a variation up to 70[Formula: see text]nm on different locations of the bowl-shaped workpiece.
  • Nanofinishing of freeform surfaces using abrasive flow finishing process
    Mithun Sarkar, VK Jain
    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part B Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 2017
    Freeform complex surfaces have become an essential part of many devices to perform the required functions. Many of these components require nanometer-level surface finish to perform the desired functions efficiently. In this work, an attempt has been made to improve the external morphology of freeform surfaces, especially knee joint, by abrasive flow finishing process. A uniform mirror finished surface with improved finishing rate is achieved for stainless steel knee joint. Extrusion pressure is varied to reduce final surface roughness value and finishing time. Experimentally, good surface finish ranging from ( Ra) 42.9 to 62.5 nm is achieved at various locations of the knee joint which are within the recommended American Society for Testing and Materials standard (≈100 nm) of knee joint prosthesis. Effects of abrasive flow finishing process parameters are investigated to develop “know how” of the process on the freeform surfaces. Abrasive flow finishing process has given 76.56% reduction in finishing time as compared to the time required by “ball end” type tool used for finishing knee joint.
