Green emitting long afterglow phosphor SrAl₂O₄: Eu²⁺, Dy³⁺ was synthesized via the combustion method. The physical phase analysis was carried out by X-ray diffraction, the results show that the introduction of Eu²⁺ into the lattice of the matrix resu...

Research on polyurethane sponge (PUS), a widely used polymer material, and its flame-retardant performance is of great significance. In this study, PUS was modified to prepare a highly efficient flame-retardant composite using a soaking method. The P...

This study examines the tribological and corrosion properties of Stellite 20 alloy coatings on F310H heat-resistant stainless steel that were prepared using HVOF and HVAF supersonic flame spraying techniques. To investigate the coatings’ micros...

Porous lead-free piezoelectric ceramics are characterized by their environment-friendly, light weight, and large specific surface area. The optimization of porous Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃-based lead-free piezoelectric ceramics can improve piezoelectric propert...

Iron-based soft magnetic composites (SMCs) are the key components of high-frequency electromagnetic systems. Selecting a suitable insulating oxide layer and ensuring the integrity and homogeneity of the heterogeneous core–shell structure of SMC...

Studies of the microstructure, phase composition and mechanical characteristics, namely the microhardness of metal–ceramic composites made of Fe 90 wt.%–Cu 10 wt.% powder and hydroxyapatite (Fe-Cu-HA), are presented in the manuscript. The...

Metal/carbon composite plating is an effective strategy for improving and adding properties to metal plating by incorporating carbon materials into the metal matrices. Copper (Cu) is widely applied, particularly in the areas of heat management and el...

Fe-W-P coatings were deposited from a newly developed electrolytic bath. The effect of plating parameters, such as electrolyte current density and pH has been studied. It was found that the pH has a very strong effect on the phosphorous content of th...

Al₂O₃ coatings, which can be produced by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on aluminum substrates, provide an excellent protection against corrosion and wear. However, due to the brittle nature of the oxide ceramic, the fracture toughness is limite...

In this study, the effect of electrochemical hydrogen charging on the corrosion behavior of an as-cast Mg–8%Li alloy was investigated. It was revealed that after being cathodically hydrogen charged in a 0.1 M NaCl solution at a constant current...
