Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a biologically relevant micronutrient involved in numerous biochemical processes and may also participate in redox-related reactions. In the present study, the electrochemical behavior and stability of vitamin B6 were inves...
This work proposes the study of light-sensitive resistive sensors composed of dispersed heterojunctions (BHJs) in a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) matrix, fabricated from cobalt and palladium porphyrins (CoOEP a...
In the present study, the potential applications of Cu thin films and Ag/Cu bilayer thin films obtained by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique are investigated in terms of the physicochemical effects resulting from their interaction with an a...
Binary surfactant formulations can modify thin-film stability through non-additive changes in adsorption, interfacial mobility, and surface rheology. This study extends an electrical liquid-bridge method previously developed for single surfactants to...
This paper investigated the lubricant stability and anti-biofouling performance on slippery liquid-infused nanostructured surfaces (SLIPSs) using thermodynamic and interfacial energy analyses. ZnO nanorods were synthesized on indium tin oxide substra...
This study investigates the correlations between the parameters of the Hysteresis-Attrition-Friction model (HAF), hysteresis (h), attrition (a), and friction coefficient (ν), under different surface conditions and contact pressures. The HAF model,...
Pyrite is one of the most common sulfide minerals in polymetallic sulfide ores, and its flotation behavior directly affects the selective separation efficiency of valuable minerals. This study investigated the effects of collector type, pulp pH, pH r...
The contact angle of a liquid drop on a solid surface is a simple yet powerful experimental technique for characterizing the surface properties of materials. This method uses a liquid drop as a probe to investigate the chemical and physical propertie...
Low-pressure cold spray (LPCS) and medium-pressure cold spray (MPCS) provide field-deployable alternatives to stationary high-pressure cold spray (HPCS) for lightweight metallic component repair, although lower particle velocities and narrower proces...
Selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM) enable the fabrication of commercially pure titanium, but the effects of the fabrication method and build orientation on surface characteristics and bonding remain unclear. This study eval...
Silver (Ag)-based conductive coatings are widely used in electrical contacts due to their excellent electrical conductivity, low contact resistance, good thermal stability and oxidation resistance, although their susceptibility to sulfidation and env...
Niobium-based catalysts have emerged as highly adaptable materials for reactions under heterogeneous conditions, owing to significant advances achieved in synthetic methodologies and characterization strategies. In this review, special attention was...

Zoledronic compounds are widely used as antiresorptive and antitumor agents to prevent bone loss and treat multiple myeloma; however, their pharmacokinetic limitations motivate the search for alternative delivery systems capable of improving their co...
In this short perspective, we analyze the different linear response functions relevant to surface diffusion as studied by helium atom scattering, organizing them around a single object: the intermediate scattering function (ISF), which is also a char...
A technological approach to the formation of a 3D nanocomposition material based on hierarchical porous nickel oxide nanoparticles incorporated into porous silicon with a dendritic porous structure is proposed. Porous silicon was used as a 3D porous...
Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global challenge that necessitates the development of durable, material-based strategies to limit pathogen survival and transmission. Conventional cleaning and disinfection methods only provide transient protect...
Implant-associated infections remain one of the leading causes of failure in orthopaedic and dental implants, necessitating the development of multifunctional surface coatings capable of simultaneously enhancing corrosion resistance, bioactivity, and...
Ti6Al4V alloy is widely used in biomedical and engineering applications; however, its limited wear resistance and lack of intrinsic antibacterial activity restrict its long-term performance. Although multi-element nitride coatings prepared by cathodi...
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has emerged as a promising biomaterial for orthopedic and craniofacial implants due to its favorable mechanical properties and fatigue resistance; however, its inherent chemical inertness limits effective osseointegration....
Electroless coatings mark a significant improvement in surface engineering by providing superior uniformity, precision, and functional properties compared with traditional plating processes. Electroless Ni-P-Al2O3 composite coatings were successfully...
Laser powder bed fusion produces geometrically complex metallic components, yet fatigue performance consistently falls below that of wrought counterparts. Surface condition, encompassing as-built roughness, residual stress, porosity, microstructure,...
This work presents a systematic methodology for generating bi-sinusoidal surface topographies with controlled and reproducible characteristics on Ti-6Al-4V using a progressive 1D–2D–3D framework. Such deterministic topographies are of int...
A lubricant protective film (LP) formed on automotive Zn-coated steel sheets is a functional surface layer that controls shear resistance at the die–sheet interface while also affecting the electrical contact state during resistance spot weldin...
Photocatalytic decomposition of water to produce hydrogen and the degradation of organic pollutants are among the most ideal strategies for addressing energy shortages and environmental pollution. Moreover, constructing organic–inorganic hetero...
In this study, an ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) was employed to enhance the surface performance of a GW63K-T6 magnesium alloy. The results show that the USRP induces a gradient-distributed {10–12} deformation twin structure in the s...
