The hard anodizing treatments of cast Al-Si alloys are notoriously difficult. Indeed, their microstructural features hinder the growth of a uniform, compact, and defect-free anodic oxide. In this paper, AlSi10Mg samples, produced via Gravity Casting...

Here, we have synthesized four series of polyamide-conductive polymers and used them to modify Fe3O4 NPs/ITO electrodes. The ability of the modified electrodes to detect methotrexate (MTX) anticancer drug electrochemically was investigated. Synthesis...

This work discusses studies of electron emissions during the interaction of low energy (in the keV energy range and below) singly charged ions with Aluminum surfaces. Analysis of the spectra provides insight into the electronic excitation processes a...

Conductive polymer polypyrrole (PPy)-coated lithium-rich manganese-based Li1.2Mn0.54Ni0.13Co0.13O2 (LMNCO) nanotube cathode materials were synthesized by electrospinning and subsequently subjected to low-temperature vapor-phase polymerization. X-ray...

At present, a diffuse discharge plasma of air and other gases at atmospheric pressure is widely used for the surface treatment of various materials. However, in many papers it is stated that erosion damages occur on flat anodes (targets) as a result...

High-speed machining processes are significantly affected by the accumulation of heat generated by friction in the cutting zone, leading to reduced tool life and poor quality of the machined product. The use of cutting fluids helps to draw the heat o...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a sustainable technology resulting from the synergism between biotechnology and electrochemistry, exploiting diverse fundamental aspects for the development of numerous applications, including wastewater treatment and ene...
