Surfaces which possess extraordinary water attraction or repellency depend on surface energy, surface chemistry, and nano- and microscale surface roughness. Synergistic superhydrophilic-underwater superoleophobic surfaces were fabricated by spray deposition of nanostructured TiO2 on stainless steel mesh substrates. The coated meshes were then used to study gravity driven oil-water separation, w...

This work presents a novel coating technique to manufacture ceramic superhydrophobic coatings rapidly and economically. A rare earth oxide (REO) was selected as the coating material due to its hydrophobic nature, chemical inertness, high temperature stability, and good mechanical properties, and deposited on stainless steel substrates by solution precursor plasma spray (SPPS). The effects of va...

An X-ray diffraction technique was used to measure the residual stress in the surface of a specimen containing a coating of a NijAl intermetallic compound produced bythe SHS (Self-propagation High temperature Synthesis) method. The Ni3Al was using the coating material for spherical carbon cast iron substrate and austenite stainless steel substrate. Differences between the coefftcient of thermal...

The present work deals on the experimental investigation on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of CNT coating on a stainless steel substrate in a rectangular macro channel with water as the working fluid. The experiments were conducted under both laminar and turbulent flow conditions with Reynolds number varying from 500-2600. The experimental results using an uncoated stainles...

S. Epidermidis is among the most frequently isolated microorganisms found in -infection related to implanted devices and the formation of biofilm will be more resistant compared to the planktonic form. This study was carried out to determine the effect of coating on stainless steel orthopaedic implants surfaces with cinnamon oil and chitosan as bioadhesive to prevent biofilms formation of S. Ep...

in the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (pemfcs), low corrosion resistance and high interfacial contact resistance (icr) are two controversial issues in usage of aisi 316l stainless steel as a metallic bipolar plate. for solving these problems, investigation and development of different coatings and/or surface treatments are inevitable. corrosion behavior and icr of aisi 316l specimens c...

Microelectrodes implanted in cortical tissue have been shown to effectively send and record electrical brain signals. The limitation encountered in the past is the robustness of these electrodes. New flexible electrodes are being developed to solve this problem, but electrochemical (EC) measurements are a required step in the characterization of these microelectrodes before they can be implante...

NiCrAlY coating was prepared on a stainless steel substrate by an arc ion plating machine and the annealing experiments were carried out at different temperatures using a tube furnace. The effects of annealing temperatures on the morphology, structure, chemical composition and phase structure of the coating were characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD, respectively. The change of microstructure is di...

nanostructured alumina thin films were coated on stainless steel by sol-gel dip coating method. in order to prevent crack formation, al2o3 films were kept in a solvent bath immediately after coating to reduce the rate of drying. effects of calcination temperature and withdrawal speed on structural properties were analyzed using xrd and sem. topography and thickness of coatings were analyzed by ...
