The aim of this study was to optimize machining parameters to obtain the smallest average surface roughness (Ra) and flank wear (Vb) values as a result of the surface milling of a nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy (SMA) with uncoated cutting...

The development of novel oxygen reduction electrodes with superior electrocatalytic activity and CO2 durability is a major challenge for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Here, novel cobalt-free perovskite oxides, BaFe1−xYxO3−δ (x = 0...

An innovative chemical vapor sublimation and deposition (CVSD) process was shown to produce nanoscale anisotropic hybrid materials. Taking advantage of controlled thermodynamic properties and the mass transfer of molecules, this process allowed for w...

Biomaterials are in use for the replacement and reconstruction of several tissues and organs as treatment and enhancement. Metallic, organic, and composites are some of the common materials currently in practice. Metallic materials contribute a big s...

Expanded austenite γN formed after nitrogen insertion into austenitic stainless steel and CoCr alloys is known as a hard and very wear resistant phase. Nevertheless, no single composition and lattice expansion can describe this phase with nitro...

Three 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl-based polydithienylpyrroles (PTTPP, P(TTPP-co-DTC), and P(TTPP-co-DTP)) were synthesized electrochemically and their electrochromic behaviors were characterized. The introduction of electron withdrawing trifluorometho...

There is little available research on how different transition metal oxides influence the behavior of B4C-based ceramics, especially for Ta2O5 and Nb2O5. B4C-MeB2 (Me = Ti, Zr, Nb, and Ta) multiphase ceramic samples were prepared via in situ pressure...

The reactive gas flow ratio and substrate bias voltage are crucial sputtering parameters for fabricating transition metal nitride films. In this study, W–N films were prepared using sputtering with nitrogen flow ratios (f) of 0.1–0.5. W&n...

Modification of the curing exothermic reaction of epoxy resin with polyamine (PA) hardeners by new chemically bonded fillers to improve the mechanical properties and anticorrosion performances of the epoxy coatings is the main goal for wide applicati...

Fluorescent film-forming materials were obtained by embedding salicylaldazine (SAA) in silica hybrids generated by sol–gel processes from different silane precursors in acid catalysis. Tuned local environments for the fluorophore were generated...
