In this study, the characteristics of nanocrystalline diamond films synthesized at low surface temperature on Ti-6Al-4V (TA6V) substrates using a distributed antenna array microwave reactor aiming at biomedical applications were investigated. The sur...

The use of rapid-hardening cementitious materials for the emergency repair of critical infrastructure in coastal environments is becoming increasingly widespread, and concrete surface hydrophobic protection treatment is equally necessary to improve t...

This paper aims to review some important microstructural defects arising in the alloys manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) or laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). During the manufacturing process, various defects can occur in metals, which can n...

The murals of Ming Dynasty North Mosque in Linqing, Shandong Province, Eastern China, are of significant cultural and historical importance. Their final restoration date remains uncertain, making a comprehensive investigation critical before initiati...

Porous cellulose aerogels with different compositions have been fabricated via three methods, including regular freezing, directional freezing, and hydrothermal treatment, using pure cellulose oxide and cellulose oxide/graphite oxide composites, resp...

The effect of cathodic polarization on the corrosion behavior of alkyd-resin-coated carbon steel with an artificial coating defect was researched using a wire beam electrode (WBE) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in both static and fl...

To address the inverse problem of thermal growth oxide (TGO) thickness in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), a novel multi-scale analysis (MSA) method based on terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is introduced. The proposed method involves a M...

The performance of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT): phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices was found to be strongly influenced by environmental during preparation, thermal annealing conditions, and the material b...

Molybdenum oxide (MoO3) electrochromic (EC) materials have not been widely used at present due to relatively poor performance and inadequate research. In order to enhance the EC properties of the MoO3 to achieve the purpose of practical use, the modi...

Waste resource utilization can save energy, reduce costs, and is one of the important means to protect the environment. Flue-gas desulphurized (FGD) gypsum is a common industrial by-product. These by-products are not only difficult to use, but also h...
