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 ...

Objective: To develop an antimicrobial and anti-adherent thymol (TOH)-containing coating on titanium (Ti) by a bioinspired one-step biocompatible method. Methods: A nanolayer of adsorbed TOH (TOH-NL-Ti) was formed by an ...

The inadequate corrosion resistance and conductivity of metal bipolar plates are major obstacles to the commercialization of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). In this work, Nb/NbN/Mo-containing NbN mul...

Ureteral stent-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain a significant clinical challenge, primarily due to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. To address this, we engineered a multifunctional antibacterial...

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...

Cheese surfaces can be colonized by undesirable microorganisms during the different processing stages, with ripening being the most affected. Consumers demand have increased the interest in using natural antimicrobials s...

Abstract A fiber laser was used to perform multiple laser cladding passes on AISI 1045 steel to fabricate SiC particle-reinforced Ni60A alloy coatings. The microstructure and phase composition of the cladding layers were...

Abstract TiAlSiN is a potential protection coating for die steel to improve the surface hardness, anti-wear performance and suitability. In the present study, TiAlSiN is deposited on H13 die steel by high power impulse m...

To overcome the oxidation limitation and incomplete combustion of micron-sized aluminum caused by its native oxide shell, an F2314 nanocoating was constructed on 1 μm spherical Al particles by electrostatic spray granu...

The excellent mechanical properties, high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance combined with moderate cost make superferritic stainless steels (SFSS) commercially attractive. Though these steels are finding incr...

Abstract A novel biphasic Dy2Hf2O7-HfO2 composite was synthesized via a solid-state reaction route for potential thermal barrier coating (TBC) applications. X-ray diffraction confirmed that the reaction between Dy2O3 and...

To address key challenges of conventional spherical gun propellants, including inconsistent energy release, harmful gas emissions, and long-term storage instability, this study utilizes fluidized bed technology combined ...

Abstract The primary factors contributing to poor seed quality and lower rice yields are largely attributed to inadequate seed quality management strategies. The quality of rice seeds and productivity in the Fogera Plain...

This study prepared a series of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) samples (denoted as NMT-x%) by tuning the methanol fraction (20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) in a mixed methanol/N,N-dimethylformamide (MeOH/DMF) solvent system, and investigated t...

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect of chitosan (CH)-based nanocomposite coating applications [chitosan+TiO2 (CHT) and chitosan+TiO2+rosmarinic acid (CHTRA)] on changes in quality attributes of rai...

Inconel 625 alloy exhibits excellent high-temperature performance and corrosion resistance and is frequently used as a protective coating material for oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Howe...

The dissolution behavior of atmospheric calcium (Ca) mineral dust released from arid regions and their climate impacts via buffering effects are highly dependent on their size-resolved mineralogical composition. Due to t...

In this article, we report the measurement of underwater aerophobicity, through the captive-bubble method, for different polymeric coatings employed to protect microscale and nanoscale flexible electronic devices for sea...

The aim of this study is to investigate the wear resistance of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and wear debris of polyethylene using pin-on-disc testing on two groups of CoCrMo discs with DLC coatings. DLC coatings depos...

In this study, dopamine (DA) was covalently grafted onto graphene oxide (GO) to form a functionalized nanofiller, onto which calcium ions were subsequently coordinated, yielding GO–PDA–Ca nanocomposites for epoxy coa...

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...
