Metal containers are the most commonly used packaging worldwide in both the food processing industry. Usually, the production processes involved in the canning industry include multi-step transformations that take large aluminum or steel coils and ma...

It is already well known that the tissue–implant interface is one of the most critical factors for the success of implant integration. The use of bioactive and biomimetic surfaces is of great interest in biomedical applications, especially in tissue...

Titanium oxidation for biomedical applications is still a challenge in obtaining favorable mechanical and physicochemical properties of thin oxide layers, as well as the required high bioactivity. Interesting techniques for TiO2 layer formation are e...

A coating with biomacromolecules can improve the performance of electrospun 3D scaffolds and 2D matrices that show morphology similar to that of native ECM, but their mechanical and biological properties are often inadequate, particularly in applicat...

In the field of the development of modern techniques, which improve and/or regenerate the component’s surface properties, High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) spraying of carbides or metals and their alloys is a good alternative method to other con...

Bulk cobalt- and nickel-based metallic materials exhibit superior resistance to cavitation erosion and sliding wear. Thus, thermally deposited High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) coatings seem promising for increasing the wear resistance of the bulk met...

The development of new-generation photovoltaic devices through more sustainable production techniques and materials is driven by the need to contain the threats to the biosphere while guaranteeing the safety of the supply, accounting for the limited...

During the high pressure die casting (HPDC) process the die material is exposed to thermal fatigue, erosion, and corrosion. Corrosion leads to the soldering of cast alloy to tool surfaces which consequently bonds the casting with die material. Beside...

The main goal of the ELBE-NH (Increased effectiveness of lignin-biorefineries by valorization of hydrolysates) project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Germany, is the utilization of the by-products of lignocellulosic...

In this work, nickel (Ni) and Ni-Fe bimetallic microparticles were electrosynthesized at reduction potentials in the range from −0.70 V to −1.20 V (50 mV s−1) by cyclic voltammetry (CV) onto graphite/paraffin electrode surface modified with nanosheet...
