Following acceptance of the Special Issue article by the Guest Editor, El-Sayed Abd El-Aziz, concerns were raised regarding the integrity of the peer review process [...]

The accumulation of ice on surfaces can cause harm in many industries. Our work describes an experiment and a simulation of the deicing effect based on a simple device combining a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane and water phase transition. The d...

Enhanced corrosion efficiency of low-carbon steel was achieved by newly developed hybrid multilayers, composed of low-carbon steel coated with an electrodeposited zinc sublayer (1 µm), a chitosan (CS) middle layer and ZrO2 coating by the sol–gel meth...

Possibilities of the development of new anti-erosion coatings for wind turbine blade surface protection on the basis of nanoengineered polymers are explored. Coatings with graphene and hybrid nanoreinforcements are tested for their anti-erosion perfo...

With the development of the semiconductor industry, research on photoelectronic devices has been emphasized. In this paper, a molecular semiconductor material with a narrow bandgap of hexane-1,6-diammonium pentaiodobismuth (HDA-BiI5) was utilized to...

Carbon dots (CDs) have generated much interest because of their significant fluorescence (FL) properties, extraordinary photophysical attributes, and long-term colloidal stability. CDs have been regarded as a prospective carbon nanomaterial for vario...

Aircraft panel assembly mainly includes the pre-joining process and the riveting process. In addition, the traditional pre-joining process is mainly executed by bolts, which has problems such as the large tightening torque, inconvenient bilateral tig...

Benefitting from a suitable band gap, ceria is an excellent material for UV shielding. By solid solution doping and specific micromorphology, its band gap can be effectively controlled. In this paper, ceria doped with lanthanum via oxalate precipitat...

The article describes biomaterials and surgical instruments, in particular surgical cutting tools. In addition, the functions of coatings and the layer vapor deposition methods are described. In the experimental component of the study, zinc oxide thi...

In this paper, the conformational changes of tryptophan (Trp) on the corroded 316 L stainless steel (SS) surface obtained under controlled simulated inflammatory conditions have been studied by Raman (RS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectr...
