Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing and Improving the Performance of Grouted MacadamMomtaz M. Othman, Ahmed Ebrahim Abu El-Maaty, Zeinab S. HusseinThere are many road defects appear in flexible pavement layers. Rutting, raveling and cracks are considered the main problems in Egypt. Using grouted macadam system as a surface asphaltic layer (or called Semi-Flexible Pavement (SFP)) has many advantages such as saving the natural asphalt and enhancing the performance against deteriorations. The main scope of this research is to evaluate and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2020 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPoly(3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene):Poly(4-Styrenesulfonate) Anode for ITO-Free Organic Light-Emitting DiodesKeanchuan Lee, Martin WeisOrganic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) devices using flexible substrates are envisioned for flexible, low-cost and roll-to-roll mass production. However, transparent conductive oxides such as indium tin oxide (ITO) do not fit the requirements of flexible devices, fabricated without vacuum-based technology. Hence, conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has been proposed as an alternative approach to transparent conductive electrodes. The secondary doping of PEDOT:PSS … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2018 · 7,590 accessesView PDFCite
