The use of bound states in the continuum (BICs) has emerged as an effective tool to trap light at the nanoscale and has many potential applications in photonics. Breaking the structural symmetry is regarded as an effective way to excite quasi-BICs (Q...

The widespread adoption of metal implants in orthopaedics and dentistry has revolutionized medical treatments, but concerns remain regarding their biocompatibility, toxicity, and immunogenicity. This study conducts a comprehensive literature review o...

Thermal shock testing has long been employed to assess thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), with crack formation and propagation on TBC surfaces serving as important indicators of fracture toughness. In this study, the influence of preexisting cracks wit...

In the CO2-amine solution system, metal packings in purification devices face corrosion risks, while plastic packings have garnered attention due to their lightweight nature, ease of processing, and excellent corrosion resistance. Since different pla...

In this investigation, electrochemical deposition procedures were reported to synthesize a novel composite polymer, 3-methylpyrrole-dodecyl sulfate sodium/3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (3MPY-SDS/EDOT) coatings, on OL 37 samples for anticorrosion protect...

The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of micromechanical and microtribological properties of the cathodic arc-deposited Mo, Cr, and Ta coatings using nanoindentation and scratch test techniques as well as a microtribological dry sliding test...

Aircraft gas turbine blades operate in aggressive, generally oxidizing, atmospheres. A solution to mitigate the degradation and improve the performance of such components is the deposition of thermal barrier coatings systems (TBCs). High-velocity air...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has become a novel and attractive method for generating renewable energy during wastewater treatment. In this study, researchers combined carbon felt (CF), metal oxide (NiO), and polyaniline (PANI) to prepare CF/N...

Increasing demand to deposit dense and oxidation-resistant bond coats requires reliable and efficient deposition techniques. High-Velocity Air-Fuel (HVAF), among other thermal spray processes, is showcasing consistent potential to optimize spraying t...

Developing aramid fiber (AF) with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties is of significant importance for expanding their applications in the military, aerospace, and industrial sectors. Current research on the EMI shielding properti...
