Cerium-based conversion coatings were formed on AZ91D magnesium alloy by immersion of the substrate in solutions containing Ce(NO3)3, H2O2 and ascorbic acid (HAsc). The characterisation of the films was performed by elec...

In this study, the heating parameters required for polyamide-11 (P11) coating of the helicopter shaft were investigated. The torsion value created by the force applied to the middle of the helicopter's shaft is measured....

ABSTRACT Fabric‐based wearable electronics are gaining increasing attention owing to their flexibility, breathability, biocompatibility, and seamless integration into clothing. However, most existing studies rely prima...

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...

Bone plays a vital role in providing the structural framework of the human body and protecting internal organs. Porous scaffolds that promote cell proliferation is necessary to artificially create bone by tissue engineer...

Abstract Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have proven to be of therapeutic potential against cancer. The feature of the surface coating can affect important properties of IONPs; it is therefore critical for further under...

The quality of the optical fiber infrastructure is directly related with the strength of the fiber polymer coating. In this work we have studied the effect of maritime environment in the aging of optical fibers. The resu...

The materials that compose the urban envelope are determinant for the reduction of heat gains and overheating of a city. Increasing the solar reflection of vertical materials is an efficient strategy to reduce urban temp...

Abstract In this study, we evaluate the effect of gelatin coating and sonication of wet-aged pork loin on quality. The moisture content of wet-aged pork loin with sonication and gelatin coating was the highest in the G5S...

The thermoplastic nylon denture base material is prone to discoloration because its amide bonds absorb water easily. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle have long been used as a denture base coating. Meanwhile, coffee c...

In this study, WTaNbMo refractory high-entropy alloy (RHEA) coatings were successfully fabricated on Inconel 718 substrate by laser cladding. Optimal coatings with superior comprehensive performances were systematically ...

By reaction between stearic acid (SA) and a di-epoxidized oligomeric poly(ethylene glycol) under stoichiometric conditions, an amphiphilic β-hydroxyester (β-HE) bearing pendant alkyl chains was obtained with a typical ...

Low thermal sensitivity of the optical propagation phase in optical fiber is critical for high-precision fiber systems, including applications such as ultra-low noise lasers, highly sensitive interferometric sensing, and...

Titanium is the most widely used dental implant material, but it requires surface treatment to improve osseointegration. While coating implants with TiO2, residue can arise, which may lead to contamination. To address th...

The elderly had various oral health issues, one of which is taste sensitivity. Taste sensitivity is highly affected by a person’s health, medication, eating habits, nutritional status, and oral hygiene. As an important...

Structural colors generated by optical micro-/nanostructures offer a notable advantage over traditional chemical pigments, including higher purity, greater brightness, resistance to fading, and enhanced environmental fri...

In marine environments, the increased drag force on vehicles impedes their speed underwater, leading to high energy consumption and reduced vehicle efficiency. Superhydrophobic coatings have gained remarkable attention r...

We report a method to form multifunctional polymer coatings through simple dip-coating of objects in an aqueous solution of dopamine. Inspired by the composition of adhesive proteins in mussels, we used dopamine self-pol...

Los rock coatings son sedimentos geoquímicos que afectan la superficie de las rocas, dentro de cada uno de los cuales existe una enorme variabilidad a escala espacial desde km a µm. En la vertiente occidental de Cumbre...
