Al-Cu-Fe-Ce quasicrystalline-reinforced 6061 aluminum matrix composites were prepared through hot press sintering and treated with a solid solution and aging treatments. The influence of the solid solution and aging treatments on the microstructure a...

In order to improve the hydrophobicity of the composite film on the wood surface, the wettability of the wood surface and its morphology, chemical structure, roughness and free energy changes were investigated in this paper after modification treatme...

In the hydrogen separation membrane, a dense TaTiNbZr amorphous layer was prepared between Pd and Ta to form a Pd/TaTiNbZr/Ta membrane system to prevent the reaction between Pd and Ta at high temperatures. The structural and chemical stability of the...

In this study, the combination of ordinary cement concrete (OCC) and shrinkage-compensating concrete (SCC) was utilized to pour super-long mass concrete. The temperature and strain of the concrete were continuously monitored and managed actively afte...

Ship painting, as one of the three pillars of the shipping industry, runs through the whole process of ship construction. However, there are low scheduling efficiency and excessive carbon emissions in the segmental painting process, and optimizing th...

CrWN/MoN nano-multilayer coatings were deposited in pure N2 by multi-arc ion plating using CrW and Mo targets, with the cathode co-controlled by a permanent magnet combined with an electromagnet. The effects of the thickness modulation period on the...

Fossil fuels play a powerful role in the global economy and are therefore referred to as strategic raw materials. However, their massive use around the world is associated with concerns about the sufficiency of energy sources for future generations....

Fluorocarbon polyurethane amino baking paint for graffiti-resistant whiteboards was designed and prepared. Firstly, perfluorohexylethyl alcohol (TEOH6) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) were reacted under certain conditions to obtain fluorocarbon...

Enhancing paper hydrophobicity is of key importance for many paper-based applications. Fatty acids or vegetable oils and their derivatives replace environmentally harmful conventional coating materials but still require challenging chemical reactions...

Often, bacterial infections delay the rate of healing of traumatic wounds, making it critical to improve antimicrobial efficiency. In this paper, titanium nanotubes (TNT) with good antimicrobial and synergistic photothermal properties were used as th...
