In order to solve the problem of inadequate confinement provided by traditional rectangular stirrups in concrete square columns under stringent seismic fortification requirements, a spiral stirrup with a better constraint effect was used in the squar...

The field of nanostructured thin films is experiencing rapid development, with materials scientists creating ever more fascinating structures at the nanoscale or even subnanoscale [...]

Magnesium alloys are promising biodegradable orthopedic implant materials, but their clinical translation is hindered by rapid, unregulated corrosion in physiological environments. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) coating has attracted substantial atte...

This study investigates the effect of cathodic voltage on the thickness, morphology, composition, phase structure, adhesion, and elevated-temperature oxidation resistance of the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) ceramic coatings on Ti65 alloy. Coatings were...

Improving the energy efficiency of advanced ultra-supercritical (USC) power plants by increasing steam operating temperature up to 700 °C can be achieved, at reduced cost, by using novel engineering design concepts, such as coated steam pipe syst...

This study investigated the tribological and mechanical properties of chromium nitride (CrN and CrN/DLC) coatings applied to 316L steel in an artificial blood environment. The wettability of the tested surfaces was determined and the hardness was als...

In this study, amorphous Fe60Nb3B17Si6Cr6Ni4Mo4 coatings were prepared using the high-velocity air fuel method. The microstructure, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the Fe60Nb3B17Si6Cr6Ni4Mo4 coatings were examined for various levels of n...

This article focuses on developing a high-performance coated knitted fabric for automotive seat covers designed to meet the demands of the automotive industry and offer a viable alternative to current products. To achieve this, polyester yarns—...

Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) threaten peace and global security due to their extreme toxicity and devastating effects. Prompt discovery and detoxification are imperative to protect ourselves from these perilous agents. Metal–organic framework...

Addressing corrosion issues in Mg-air batteries is vital for improving energy storage technologies. Unlike traditional methods that focus solely on electrode materials or electrolyte composition, this study introduces a novel integrated strategy that...
