An essential element in the synthesis of nanomaterials based on gold nanoparticles comprises the control over parameters such as size, shape and composition, due to their strong influence on the properties of the particl...

Geothermal solid waste is one of the byproduct materials from the geothermal energy process. The silica extracted from this solid waste can be utilized as a raw material for waterproof coatings. The waterproof or hydroph...

In this chapter, the potentiality of using a natural polymer (casein) and acarbohydrate (monosaccharides) as raw material to produce waterbornelatexes for coating applications will be presented. Indeed, casein is a subpr...

Abstract The coating material of a tool directly affects the efficiency and cost of machining malleable cast iron. However, the machining adaptability of various coating materials to malleable cast iron has been insuffic...

The soft liner of acrylic resin dentures, used to coat removable partial dentures, still has drawbacks in the easy attachment of Candida albicans fungus. A treatment on the surface of the acrylic resin denture soft liner...

In this research , microwave ray absorbing coating materials had been prepared which work within ( X - band ) frequency i.e 3 cm wavelength . The coating materials were prepared from a mixture of pigmented materials such...

Abstract The enhancement of durable and environmentally friendly superhydrophobic (SHP) coatings for metal protection remains a significant challenge. This study presents a green and effective strategy for fabricating a ...

Abstract Natural materials (NMs) have emerged as better alternatives for the mitigation of corrosion of metals. NMs can be used as both inhibitors and coatings; however, they have been used mostly as inhibitors. In this ...

Thin-film coatings offer a scalable optical platform, as compared to nanopatterned films, for various applications including structural coloring, photovoltaics, and sensing. Recently, Fano resonant optical coatings (FROC...

A one-pot strategy was developed to coat micro- and nanomaterials with crystalline nanoparticles. Three Li-based materials were coated by a solution combustion synthesis method. By this procedure, we obtained LiCoO2 nano...

The deposition of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) from food service and residential sources in sewer pipes causes frequent blockages, sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), and high maintenance costs, mainly due to saponification r...

Glass ionomer cement as one of the restoration materials requires high compressive strength so it can last during functional activity. The latest glass ionomer cement comes with glass hybrid technology and a nanofilled r...

Acrylic resin is a denture base material mostly used in the fabrication of removable partial denture and complete denture because it is easy to process, economical and aesthetically satisfying. However, the acrylic resin...

Abstract In order to resist on the cavitation erosion, many researchers try to change the solidity and tenacity of the coatings, but ignore the influence of surface characteristics of materials on cavitation flow and the...

Multisection quarter-wave impedance transformers are widely applied in microwave engineering and optics to attain impedance-matching networks and antireflection coatings. These structures are mostly designed in the spati...

Several metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have been recently employed in optoelectronic devices due to the unique properties of the MOF materials that result in enhanced performance and stability. In this work, the...

The study aims to prepare thin CdO films with a thickness of 232 nm using the spin coating method. This involved depositing the cadmium acetate in 2-methoxyethanol on glass substrates. This thin layer was prepared at a r...

Abstract Titanium alloys are excellent structural materials in engineering fields, but their poor tribological properties limit their further applications. Electroless plating is an effective method to enhance the tribol...

Achieving long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) cameras with high sensitivity and shorter exposure times faces challenges due to series reflections from high-refractive index lenses within compact optical systems. However, des...

Zirconia based materials are widely used as dental materials because of their good mechanical properties and aesthetic, but there is a need of enhancing its biological response for clinical use. In that sense, a bioactiv...

In order to reduce the cost of the thick-film technology of microcircuits and heating elements, as well as toexpand its areas of use, it became necessary to expand the range of materials that, along with ceramics and ste...
