Materials and Methods Design of a handheld electrochemical analyzer system.
The key idea in choosing Arduino platform is that has a USB port to communicate with other devices and hence the need for additional serial transceiver unit can be avoided thus making the design simpler for portability.

Friction and wear behavior of plasma sprayed nanostructured and conventional WC-Co coatings under water environment Xiaoqin Zhao 1, 2, a , Jianmin Chen1�, b, Huidi Zhou1, c 1 State Key Laboratory of Solid Lubrication, Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730000, China; 2 Graduate School, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039, China a xq_zhao22@163.com, b chenjm@lzb.ac.cn, chdzhou@lzb.ac.cn Keywords: Plasma spraying; WC-Co coating; water environment; friction and wear behavior Abstract.
In addition, water or other fluids may affect the wear rate of a material by a number of mechanisms, primarily (although not exclusively) as agents of corrosion and/or lubrication [5].
Aiming at developing cermets composite coatings with excellent wear resistance in water environment so as to aid to the tribological surface engineering of some sliding components working in aqueous conditions, we are to focus on the friction and wear behavior of plasma-sprayed nanostructured WC-Co coating under water environment in the present research.
This would be rational if one notices that, aside from the factors such as hardness, toughness, carbide grain size, phase distribution, binder phase content, and microstructure, the testing conditions including the counterpart material could also have prominent effects on the friction and wear behavior of the WC-Co coating [3,6,8].

Introduction The material properties of silicon carbide make it an attractive material for devices and integrated circuits operating at high voltages, high frequencies and high temperatures.
The key issue relating to the performance of MOS devices is the quality and reliability of the gate dielectric, where a high quality SiO2 layer, with a low interface state density, is essential.
