A Novel Approach to Fabricate a Polyamide-Copper TENG in Vertical Contact-Separation Mode

Hitesh Kumar Sharma, Atul Kumar Sharma, Vijay Janyani, Dharmendra Boolchandani

New Environmentally-Friendly Materials · 57-66 · 10.55121/nefm.v4i1.411

In this study, a novel design concept for a contact-separation Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG) utilizing polyimide (PI) film and copper (Cu) tape is presented. The innovation lies in enhancing the surface area and roughness of the PI film using 1000-grit sandpaper, which is manually rubbed over the film. This surface treatmen

Discovery of Structural Elements that Form Amorphous Materials

Olexandr Kucherov, Alexandr D. Rud

New Environmentally-Friendly Materials · 48-56 · 10.55121/nefm.v4i1.400

One of the important and unresolved problems of materials science is the structure of amorphous solids. This paper reveals the secret of the structure of amorphous materials through picoscopic visualization of electron orbitals. Picoscopy is a precision experimental method for measuring the thickness of a real electron orbital b
