Corrosion behavior of electrodeposited Ni-B coatings modified with SiO2 particles
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2017 , Article)
The need for coatings with improved operation is vital to insure safety and high output of industrial plants. Electrodeposition is a valuable surface modification technology that can be used to develop various kinds of ...
Photoimmobilization of zwitterionic polymers on surfaces to reduce cell adhesion
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Simple and robust methods for modifying hydrophobic polymer surfaces with zwitterionic polymers using UV irradiation were developed. Two random zwitterionic copolymers consisting of either carboxybetaine or sulfobetaine ...
Novel electrodeposited Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings with improved properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings were developed through an electrodeposition process to study the effect of addition of Y 2 O 3 particles on structure, surface, thermal, mechanical, and anticorrosion properties of Ni-B ...
PH-Switchable Interaction of a Carboxybetaine Ester-Based SAM with DNA and Gold Nanoparticles
(
American Chemical Society
, 2017 , Article)
We describe a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold surface with a carboxybetaine ester functionality to control the interaction between DNA and gold nanoparticles via pH. The negatively charged phosphate backbone of ...
Improvement of aluminum/polyethylene adhesion through corona discharge
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Article)
Polyethylene (PE) is often used in several industrial applications including the building, packaging and transport industries. Aluminum (Al) is widely used in different applications in the automotive, railway, aeronautic, ...
Modification of polyethylene by RF plasma in different/mixture gases
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were treated using radio-frequency plasma discharge in the presence of air, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and their mixtures to introduce new chemical functionalities. The surface ...
Simple, Reversible, and Fast Modulation in Superwettability, Gradient, and Adsorption by Counterion Exchange on Self-Assembled Monolayer
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
A simple fabrication method for preparation of surfaces able to switch from superhydrophobic to superhydrophilic state in a reversible and fast way is described. A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) consisting of quaternary ...
Effect of barrier plasma pre-treatment on polyester films and their adhesive properties on oak wood
(
North Carolina State University
, 2016 , Article)
A barrier plasma, created at atmospheric pressure, was used to improve the surface and adhesive properties of polyester (PES) film with respect to wood using polyurethane adhesives. The modification of PES film surfaces ...
2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers with enhanced mechanical and electrical properties
(
Public Library of Science
, 2017 , Article)
Novel 2D Ti3C2Tx (MXene)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers have been successfully fabricated by an electrospinning technique. The high aspect ratio, hydrophilic surfaces, and metallic conductivity of delaminated ...
Improvement in properties of Ni-B coatings by the addition of mixed oxide nanoparticles
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2015 , Article)
A comparison of properties of electrodeposited Ni-B and Ni-B-ZrO2-Al2O3 nanocomposite coatings is presented to explain the benefits of addition of mixed nanoparticles of ZrO2 and Al2O3 into Ni-B matrix. A comparative study ...
