A novel 5-(5-Bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-6-oxo-3-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-1,2,4-triazine-2(1H)-carbothioamide (4) “compound 4” was synthesized. The chemical structure of compound 4 was confirmed with spectroscopic techniques. Thermal analysis (...

This paper analyzed the corrosion behavior and corrosion performance of ER8 wheel steel through a full immersion test. The average corrosion rate of the ER8 wheel specimen in 2.0% NaCl solution shows a gradual increase over the whole corrosion cycle....

This study investigated the effect of intraoral humidity on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) to dentin of two universal adhesives applied in self-etch (SE) mode. Forty extracted human molars were selected for this study. Dentin specimens were all...

Microencapsulation can improve the thermal stability of a fragrance, and composite wall materials are one way to further improve the thermal stability of microcapsules. This paper presents a facile approach for cotton fabric coatings by using cellulo...

In this study, the 10B21 steel was treated by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in the electrolyte consisting of aluminate and phosphate to enhance its corrosion resistance. The effect of negative voltage on corrosion resistance of the MAO coating obtained h...

Aiming at the difficulty of temperature control in the laser cladding process of high-temperature nickel-based alloys, the influence of cladding parameters on the temperature of the molten pool, and the quality of the cladding layer were explored. Fi...

Zinc oxide is one of the most popular materials for acoustoelectronic sensors and vibro-piezo-transducers used in nano-piezo-generators. In the present paper, thick piezoelectric ZnO films are fabricated on both sides of various substrates using magn...

Sapping caused by prevailing wind erosion is one of the most significant factors in the deterioration of earthen sites located in Datong County, Qinghai Province, China. Long-term effects of wind may cause surface erosion, or even serious damage to t...

In this article, we demonstrate the van der Waals (vdW) epitaxial growth of ZnO layers on mica substrates through a low-temperature hydrothermal process. The thermal pretreatment of mica substrates prior to the hydrothermal growth of ZnO is essential...

The present work deals with hierarchical composites in three dimensions, whose constituents behave as non-aging linear viscoelastic materials. We model the influence that imperfect viscoelastic interfaces have on the macroscopic effective response of...
