LiNixCoyAlzO2(NCA) cathode materials are drawing widespread attention, but the huge gap between ideal and present cyclic stability still hinders their further commercial application, especially for Ni-rich LiNixCoyAlzO2 (x > 0.8, x + y z = 1) material, which is owing to structural degradation particles' intrinsic fracture. To tackle problems, Li0.5La2Al0.5O4 in situ coated Mn compensating doped...

nanosized tio2 particles were prepared by sol–gel method. the tio2 particles were co-deposited with chromium using electrodeposition technique. in investigating of coating surfaces by scanning electron microscope (sem), the results showed that the morphology of the coating surface was changed by adding tio2 nanoparticles to the chromium coating. the corrosion behavior of the coatings was assess...

Slot die coating technology is a function of the coating process, auxiliary system and fundamental technique. The decision to utilize a coating technology needs to be analyzed against these functions to determine best fit. In the era of clean, thin and precise converting operations, a customized coating system is necessary to have a technical edge. Building the system from the material up to th...

Tongue inspection is a unique and important method of diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is a diagnostic approach which involves observing the changes in the tongue proper and tongue coating in order to understand the physiological functions and pathological changes of the body. However, the biological basis of TCM tongue diagnosis remains to be poorly understood and lacks syst...

A protocol is described to assess self-healing of crack damage in a polymer coating deposited on a substrate containing a microvascular network. The bio-inspired coating/substrate design delivers healing agent to cracks in the coating via a three-dimensional microvascular network embedded in the substrate. Through capillary action, monomer flows from the network channels into the crack plane wh...

Inorganic solid-state batteries are attracting significant interest as a contender to conventional liquid electrolyte-based lithium-ion but still suffer from several limitations. The search for advanced coatings protecting cathode materials in achieve interfacial stability is continuing challenge. In the present work, surface of an industrially relevant Ni-rich LiNixCoyMnzO2 material, NCM-85100...

logical or synthetic materials provide the most effective biological compatibility. Such scaffolds can be filled with stem cells, growth factors, blood plasma proteins, and other active substances including drugs [1 5]. In spite of adequate biological compatibility, such implants cannot be used in organs and tissues subjected to serious stress during functioning (e.g. teeth and joints). This pr...

There are many ways to coat tablets. Coatings are a very important part in the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage form to achieve excellent formulation quality (e.g., color, texture, mouth feel, and taste masking), physical and chemical protection for the drugs in the dosage forms, and modification of drug release characteristics. Most film coatings are applied as aqueous or organic-based pol...
