In this paper, two adaptive observer-based strategies are proposed for control of nonlinear processes using input/output (I/O) data. In the two strategies, pseudo-partial derivative (PPD) parameter of compact form dynamic linearization and PPD vector of partial form dynamic linearization are all estimated by the adaptive observer, which are used to dynamically linearize a nonlinear system. The …
Abstract. A simple and effective strategy is proposed to tune the number of graphene layers by selecting suitable starting graphite, using a chemical exfoliation method. It is found that both the lateral size and the crystallinity of the starting graphite play important roles in the number of graphene layers obtained. Using artificial graphite, flake graphite powder, Kish graphite, and natural…
