The next great wave of innovation and development for implantable medical devices focuses on surface engineering. This would enhance their performance, restore lost functions and ultimately reduce pain. Biomimetic coating is a promising approach, used in that concern. In the present work, an attempt was made to develop the function of the biomimetic coating rather than the classical biocompatib...

Research into an optical thin film coating that enhances the current design of lithographic excimer laser gratings operating at 193 and 157 nm has been performed. The goal of such research is to improve durability and reflective efficiency. Possible coating materials include the fluorides, magnesium fluoride, barium fluoride, lanthanum fluoride and calcium fluoride. Each fluoride material was d...

in this study, mixed metal oxides al2o3/mgo/tio2 coatings with al/mg/ti ratio of 5:1:3 and 2.5:3:4 were coated on aluminum by sol-gel method. the surface morphology, phase analysis, thermal behavior and the corrosion behavior of the al2o3/mgo/tio2 coatings were characterized by (sem), (xrd), (tg-dta) and potentiodynamic polarization test in 3.5 wt.% nacl solution. the results demonstrated that ...

INTRODUCTION The increasing demand for vehicles with reduced fuel consumption and emission is the reason why the material aluminum is frequently used for crankcases in the automotive industry. A method to increase the wear resistance of the cylinder bore surface is to use hyper-eutectic cylinder liners, which are cast-in or are assembled by force fitting. Another possibility to improve the trib...
