In order to understand the role of plasma proteins in the rapid liver clearance of dextran-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) in vivo, we analyzed the full repertoire of SPIO-binding blood proteins using novel two-dimensional differential mass spectrometry approach. The identified proteins showed specificity for surface domains of the nanoparticles: mannan-binding lectins bound to the d...

Abstract Nickel-rich layered oxides have been identified as the most promising commercial cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) their high theoretical specific capacity. However, poor cycling stability of nickel-rich is one major barriers large-scale usage LIBs. The existing obstructions that suppress capacity degradation are a result phase transition, mechanical instability, inter...

Abstract Coatings prepared from chromia-rich (Al,Cr) 2 O 3 solid solution (ss) feedstock powders are intended to improve the properties of Cr coatings, but rarely studied so far. In this work, processability a commercial powder containing 78 wt.% by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), corresponding coating microstructures and were investigated. Possible further improvements expected blending wit...

Phenols and polyphenols are widely distributed in plant tissues, where they are linked to diverse biological functions such as chemical defense, pigmentation, structural support, and prevention of radiation damage. Members of this large family of compounds include epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epicatechin gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC), and tannic acid (TA), to name a few (Figure 1B)....

The influence of increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterborne potassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurements. The EIS results showed that increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-SiO2 to the resins improve...

Electrochemical Lithium Supplements In article number 2214775, Lijie Ci, Deping Li, and co-workers show the electrochemical lithium supplement of garnet coating strategy on enhancing Li-rich manganese-based materials. Through specific ions process, irreversible phase transformation from layered to spinel is mitigated. The novel materials are promising for applications in electric vehicles impro...

Abstract Due to their superior wear and oxidation resistance, Stellite™ coatings are widely used in industrial applications, where the exposed high temperature. Common processes for applying include high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying, laser cladding, plasma transferred arc welding. Although welding consumables or similar form of cored wires (CoCr base without property rights) commercially availabl...
