A solvent-free, solid-state mechanochemical method was developed to synthesize the chalcohalide compound SbSI at room temperature. Dry high-energy planetary ball milling of elemental antimony, sulfur, and iodine produced a pure, stoichiometric polycr...

Low-emissivity (low-e) coatings are used in architectural and automotive glazing for energy-saving applications. These are used to minimise heat transmission through the windows by reflection. Low-e coatings are semi-transparent coatings that typical...

This study developed a waterborne UV-curable acrylic composite coating incorporated with carved lacquer powder and systematically investigated the effects of powder and deionized water content on its properties. The results showed that the carved lac...

Chinese lacquer (urushi), a traditional East Asian coating material, has been used for more than 7000 years due to its durability, gloss, and cultural significance. However, its long-term stability under natural light remains insufficiently studied,...

Traditional lithography processes use resist materials that require organic solvents during the development step but also often contain components derived from PFASs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), raising concerns about environmental pollutio...

This paper investigates WC-10Co4Cr coatings on 4340 steel prepared by conventional HVOF and novel cold spraying (CS) under optimal process parameters to address low wear resistance. The results show that the CS WC-10Co4Cr coating porosity is less tha...

Surface organic coatings (SOCs) composed of drying oils, resins, and bitumen were commonly applied to small Renaissance bronze sculptures to enhance their visual and physical properties, producing dark, lustrous surfaces that were both esthetic and p...

This study presents an innovative modification to the chemical bath deposition method for synthesizing zinc oxide thin films by incorporating a high-voltage electric field, with and without electrical polarity inversion, to influence film growth dyna...

This study provides a comprehensive investigation into the growth behavior of boron nitride (BN) buffer layers on Silicon carbide (SiC) substrates and their influence on interfacial band alignment. BN layers were deposited on semi-insulating SiC by R...

Semi-flexible pavement (SFP) relies primarily on the properties of cementitious grouting material (CGM), which plays a crucial role in providing durability and crack resistance. This paper investigates the performance of CGMs containing recycled wast...
