To improve the tribological properties of pure MoS2 coating, the MoS2–Zr composite lubricating coatings were prepared on the WC/TiC/Co carbide surface utilizing radio frequency magnetron sputtering method combining with multiple arc ion plating...

Herein, the wool fabric was mordanted with alum, treated with microbial transglutaminase (m-TGase), and then dyed with madder. Different concentrations of alum and m-TGase were used to find out the optimum condition to achieve the best color after dy...

The TiB2 reinforced Inconel 718 alloy composite coatings were prepared on carbon steel by laser cladding. The energy input (the ratio of laser power and scanning speed, E) was introduced to investigate the effects of process parameters on geometrical...

The paper deals with the properties of a beech wood surface treated by CO2 laser engraving. The studied concerns were the discoloration, changes to morphology assessed through roughness and waviness parameters, and surface wetting with standard liqui...

Mo-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays are prepared successfully by a combined method of direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering and anodic oxidation. The doping amount of Mo can be modified by changing the number of molybdenum blocks on the Ti target while...

In the current design of turbomachines, engine performance is improved by reducing the clearances between the rotating components and the stator, which allows for loss decrease. Due to these clearance reductions, contact events may occur between the...

Organic–inorganic hybrid (ceramer) coatings were synthesized and deposited on the polyester nonwoven fabrics through the sol–gel process. This promoted the formation of an insulating barrier that was able to enhance the thermal stability...

Fe-based amorphous coatings were prepared on the surface of 45 steel substrates via supersonic plasma spraying and laser cladding. The corrosion and wear behavior of the two different coatings were investigated. Compared with supersonic plasma sprayi...

Green roof systems, a technology which was used in major ancient buildings, are currently becoming an interesting strategy to reduce the negative impact of traditional urban development caused by ground impermeabilization. Only regarding the environm...

The effect of the four kinds of red, dark yellow, purple, and black pastes on the properties of fluorine resin/aluminum low emissivity coating was studied. The infrared emissivity coatings with red and black pastes were higher than the coatings with...
