MECHANICAL AND REACTIVE PROPERTIES OF PTFE/AL/MOO3 COMPOSITES

Mechanical and reactive properties of PTFE/Al/MoO3 composites

PTFE/Al/MoO3 composites with different PTFE concentrations were prepared by mold pressing and sintering.The materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), in addition, the properties of the composites under quasi-static compression and dynamic impact were also studied.The results indicate that, the s

Urticating setae of tarantulas (Araneae: Theraphosidae): Morphology, revision of typology and terminology and implications for taxonomy.

Tarantula urticating setae are modified setae located on the abdomen or pedipalps, which represent an effective defensive mechanism against vertebrate or invertebrate predators and intruders.They are also useful taxonomic tools as morphological characters facilitating the classification of New World theraphosid spiders.In the present study, the mor
