Conductive rollers in Ni-Cr electroplating require wear-resistant surfaces under current-carrying contact. Ag coatings are susceptible to deformation and wear, while the protective response of Ag-Cu coatings under lubricated current-carrying sliding...
In sliding electrical contact processes, the effects of applied electric current on frictional behavior and surface damage are not aligned, and elucidating the relationship between the two is critical for optimizing the performance of conductive fric...
Electronic devices that dissipate high heat flux need compact cooling solutions featuring low thermal resistance and high temperature uniformity. This study proposes a novel hybrid cooling configuration integrating array jet impingement with microcha...
Cellulose (FCm) and polypropylene (PPm) fibrous microfiltration membranes with comparable dry-state porosities were compared in terms of wettability, hydration, effective porous structure, and pressure-driven water transport. FCm exhibited substantia...
Research into the application of protective beryllide coatings in thermonuclear devices and high-temperature structures is currently of great interest. In thermonuclear devices, beryllides serve as an alternative to pure beryllium. Because beryllides...
In this study, a series of rare-earth trimesates (REBTC, where RE3+ = La–Nd, Gd, Lu, and BTC3− = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, C6H3(COO−)3) was investigated for the removal of toxic Pb2+ ions from wastewater. The development of effe...
The Ti6Al4V alloy is widely used for biomedical implants, but the long-term stability of its surface in physiological environments can be improved by applying phosphate conversion coatings. In this study, three multicomponent coatings—Zn-Zr-Mg,...
To address the practical requirement for controllable wettability design of additively manufactured nickel-based superalloy surfaces, this paper systematically examines how laser processing techniques influence and regulate their wettability. Using a...
V2O5 thin films were deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering and subsequently modified by 30 keV Ni ion implantation to a fluence of 1 × 1017 cm−2. The structural, electronic, and optical properties are investigated by a combina...
Liquid-infused surfaces can promote droplet mobility and reduce ice adhesion, but their durability depends on texture geometry, lubricant retention, and lubricant viscosity. This study evaluated microtextured low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films as...
