Composite structure of the crystalline epicuticular wax layer of the slippery zone in the pitchers of the carnivorous plant Nepenthes alata and its effect on insect attachment
SUMMARY The slippery zone situated below the peristome inside pitchers of most carnivorous plants from the genus Nepenthes is covered with a thick layer of epicuticular wax. This slippery zone is… Expand

Softening of nanostructured Al–Zn and Al–Mg alloys after severe plastic deformation
Abstract The microstructure and hardness of binary Al–Zn and Al–Mg alloys were studied both in the as-cast state and after high-pressure torsion (HPT) with 5 torsions (shear strain about 6). The size… Expand
