This review focuses on the surface modification of metallic nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery. Metallic nanoparticles, owing to their unique size, stability, and payload capacity, have emerged as promising drug carriers. However, their applica...

This study focused on the numerical simulation of the distribution of residual stress in yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings prepared with atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). We particularly investigated the stress distribution around the interf...

Food safety and quality are major problems for food producers and industry, governments, and consumers. Conventional plastic-based food packaging is difficult to dispose of and recycle due to its provenience from fossil resources and resistance to bi...

Inorganic semiconductors like silicon and germanium are the foundation of modern electronic devices. However, they have certain limitations, such as high production costs, limited flexibility, and heavy weight. Additionally, the depletion of natural...

Eu-doped periodic mesoporous organosilicate (PMO) films with terminal methyl and ethylene bridging groups have been synthesized using sol-gel technology and spin-coating, employing evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA), on silicon wafers. Eu dopin...

The structural evolution of Cr-coated Zr-4 after irradiation was studied via in situ TEM in the temperature range from room temperature to 1000 °C. The results show that the krypton bubbles appeared at ~700 °C, and their size increased with i...

Deposition of (Ti-Al)N/MoN multilayered coatings was carried out through a cathodic ion-plating system in an argon and then nitrogen atmosphere. Bilayer thickness (Λ) of all the samples were achieved, from 22 to 104 nm, by organizing substrate...

Aluminum alloy (AA6061)-based hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMCs) are manufactured using a dual stir casting method, with varying volume percentages of B4C (5%, 10%, and 15%) and Gr (10%, 15%, and 20%) incorporated. The resulting HMMC and reinforc...

By adjusting the content of geopolymer in geopolymer stabilized phosphogypsum (GSP) as roadbed filler, along with the mixing ratio, this paper mainly explores tendencies in the mechanical properties and water stability of GSP. This research is based...

The present study investigated the surface morphology, phase composition, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of Ni-W alloy coatings prepared under current densities of 1–5 A/dm², after undergoing heat treatment at 400 °C,...
