In order to break the limitation of metamaterials used in the vibration and sound reduction field, this work designed a two-dimensional metamaterial based on the re-entrant honeycomb lattice and using the fractal technique. The first, second, and thi...

In this paper, the selection of the optimal base material to be used in the repair welding process is presented. The aim of the study was to determine which of the available materials has the best characteristics, based on an analysis conducted in a...

Oxidation is a critical factor contributing to material wear and the degradation of conductive performance during current-carrying tribological processes. The present study investigated the composite oxidation mechanisms that occurred during current-...

In the background of sustainable development in the construction industry, recycled cement mortar (RCM) has emerged as a research hotspot due to its eco-friendly features, where mechanical properties serve as critical indicators for evaluating its en...

The development of bio-based polyurethane foams has become a key direction in polymer materials research, driven by the need to replace petrochemical raw materials with renewable alternatives. This study investigates the synthesis and characterizatio...

Novel hybrid semiconducting thin films comprising CdSe with the addition of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) were developed onto titanium substrates using a one-step electrocodeposition technique. The deposition took place using an acidic aqueous el...

Tandem white organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), formed by stacking red, green, and blue organic electroluminescent units, offer a promising route toward high-resolution microdisplays. However, their performance is constrained by the intrinsically...

Al-Ni alloys have a unique set of properties including high conductivity, high fluidity, good thermal stability, and reasonable strength. These properties are also needed for effective braze fillers, a novel application for Al-Ni alloys. A Cu substra...

Metal halide perovskite (MHP)-based heterojunctions have become a forefront area in the research of optoelectronic functional materials due to their unique layered crystal structure, tunable band gaps, and exceptional optoelectronic properties. Recen...

Auxetic metamaterials, characterised by a negative Poisson’s ratio, offer excellent energy absorption but often present limited compressive strength due to their strut-based architectures. Selective laser sintering (SLS) enables the precise fab...
