Theoretical Considerations on Transition Metals Sulphides Precipitation in Alloyed Steels
Non-dimensional analysis and rules of thermochemical heat treatments permitted the formulation of a relative (statistically well correlated) ranking of sulphidising ability for transition metals and models to compute their amount in the metallic structure of Fe-C alloys
Behind the paper: Protic ionic liquids as binders for carbon paste electrode fabrication
A recurring challenge across all electrochemistry systems is achieving fast and efficient electron transfer at electrode surfaces. While attention is paid to the active electrode material, our work shows that a less obvious component—like a binder in a graphite electrode —can play a decisive role.
Making “Non-Stick” Fluoropolymers Stick: A Dry Plasma Route to Strong Rubber–Fluoropolymer Composite Tubes
PFA fluoropolymers resist heat and chemicals but hardly bond to rubber. We use dry dielectric barrier discharge in acrylic acid vapor to activate PFA tubes, enabling strong hot-pressed bonding to AEM rubber without wet etching.
Meta-microscope for high-quality phase imaging
Compact, stable metasurface-based microscope is established for quantitative phase imaging of transparent samples with high resolution and large field-of-view (FOV).
