The sapwood and heartwood of European larch (Larix decidua Mill.) are both used in industrial applications, but they differ in structure and composition, which may lead to surface property differences. This study compared their surface characteristic...

Hydrogel films receive significant attention among researchers because they combine increased stimuli responsiveness and faster responses to the already excellent properties of their component materials. However, their preparation is complex and requ...

An analysis of the working surfaces of cylindrical gears after scuffing shock tests allowed for the assessment of the effect of loading conditions on the form of damage to the tooth surfaces. Unlike the method of scuffing under severe conditions, whe...

Silver nanowire (AgNW)-based transparent conductive films are essential for flexible electronics due to their superior optoelectronic properties and mechanical flexibility. This review examines the characteristics and fabrication methods of AgNW thin...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) leverage the exceptional photoelectric properties of perovskite materials, yet interfacial energy level mismatches limit carrier extraction efficiency. In this work, energy level alignment was exploited to reduce the cha...

As vital material carriers of human civilization, earthen sites are experiencing continuous surface deterioration under the combined effects of weathering and anthropogenic damage. Traditional surface conservation techniques, due to their poor compat...

To investigate the impermeability of foam concrete in various challenging environments, this study evaluates its water resistance by measuring the water contact angle and water absorption. Polyurethane (PU) was used to fabricate polyurethane foam con...

The aim was to investigate the impact of laser parameters on the surface morphology of ablated graphene and elucidate the interaction mechanism between carbon materials and femtosecond lasers. A pulsed laser with a wavelength of 1030 nm is employed t...

To address the issue of coating accumulation model failure in unstable environments, this paper proposes a dynamic control method based on visual differential feedback. An image difference model is constructed through online image data modeling and r...

In order to improve the microstructure and corrosion resistance of entropy alloy in the FeCrNi system, laser melting deposition technology was used as a preparation method to study the effects of different contents of Al and Ti on the microstructure...
