The failure of a porcelain insulator on a transmission line is a crucial cause of power supply interruptions, leading to poor reliability and revenue loss. The insulator’s performance is adversely affected by environmental contaminants, and wet...
Graphene oxide (GO) films have attracted significant attention due to their potential in separation and filtration applications. Based on their unique lamellar structure and ultrathin nature, GO films are difficult to maintain in a free-standing form...
Transition metal dichalcogenides, especially molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), exhibit exceptional properties that make them suitable for a wide range of applications. However, the interaction between MoS2 and technologically relevant substrates, such as...
Porous PZT films offer significant potential due to tunable electromechanical properties, yet the polarization behavior remains insufficiently understood because of discontinuous morphology and domain structures. In this work, we study the impact of...
Titanium thin films with thicknesses of up to 105 nm were deposited on borosilicate glass implementing low-power continuous (25 W) and pulsed (85 W, with an ultra-low duty cycle) DC magnetron sputtering. The characteristics of the resulting films wer...
Magnetic shape memory alloys have attracted considerable attention due to their multifunctional properties. Among these materials, Ni-Mn-Ga alloys are distinguished by their ability to achieve up to 10% strain when exposed to a magnetic field, a char...
The combination of the catalytic properties of Al2O3/TiO2 formed an efficient system to degrade the ubiquitous pollutants TPA and PET. The coating (Al2O3)0.75TiO2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction. Stainless steel disks with photo-catalyst coati...
In this study, polymer films based on the inorganic sorbents Al2O3, ZrO2 and SiO2-phenyl with repellent N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide were prepared and used as functional textile coatings. The high sorption activity of oxides with respect to N,N-diet...
The main goal of the present study was to verify in detail whether the use of a cluster model for Stone–Wales (SW) defect-containing graphene (SWG) to study the adsorption of Ln atoms yields results similar to those previously obtained by emplo...
The surface diffusion flux is known to dominate mass transport within many amorphous porous materials, used as adsorbents, heterogeneous catalysts, and membranes, employed in many chemical processes. However, while the impact of surface coverage has...
