Metalworking fluids (MWF) play a significant role in manufacturing processes, such as machining or forming. Consequently, a high number of MWF with varying chemical composition are commercially available. However, the working mechanisms of the MWF are still object of discussion in science and application. This paper addresses the possible interactions of additives with metal surfaces taking the...

This paper concerns with free form surface reorganization and assessment of free formmodel complexity, grouping particular surface geometrical properties within patch boundaries, using self organized Kohonen neural network (SOKN). Neural network proved itself as an adequate tool for considering all topological non-linearities appearing in free form surfaces. Coordinate values of point cloud dis...

Modulation of material physical and chemical properties through selective surface engineering is currently one of the most active research fields, aimed at optimizing functional performance for applications. The activity of exposed crystal planes determines the catalytic, sensory, photocatalytic, and electrochemical behavior of a material. In the research on nanomagnets, it opens up new perspec...

Microsized particles play an important role in many diverse areas of science and technology, for example, surface reactions of micron-sized particles play a key role in astrochemistry, plasma reactors and atmospheric chemistry. To date much of our knowledge of such surface chemistry is derived from 'traditional' surface science-based research. However, the large surface area and morphology of s...

This paper characterizes the physico-chemical properties of the soybean oil-based polymeric surfactant, Palozengs R-004 (hereafter referred to as R-004). The surface activity of R-004 is comparable to the reported activities of biosurfactants produced by microorganisms and higher than some of the conventional synthetic surfactants. The surface tension of Milli-Q water was reduced to a minimum v...

Nanotechnology is one of the key technologies of the 21st century. Already by now, many products containing manufactured nanomaterials (NMs) have entered the market. Most industrial applications are based on just a few NM types, mostly metals and metal oxides. However, by varying size, shape or surface chemistry a large number of variants can be produced. Variations of physico-chemical paramete...

Combination therapy, or the use of multiple drugs, has been proven to be effective for complex diseases, but the differences in chemical properties and pharmacokinetics can be challenging in terms of the loading, delivering, and releasing multiple drugs. Here we demonstrate that we can load and selectively release two different DNA oligonucleotides from two different gold nanorods. DNA was load...

ozone modification method and air-oxidation were used for the surface treatment of polyacrylonitrile(pan)-based carbon fiber. the surface characteristics of carbon fibers were characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps). the interfacial properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (cf/pa6) composites were investigated by means of the single fiber pull-out tests. as a result, it...

Stainless steel (SS) is used for many commercial and industrial applications owing to its high resistance to corrosion. It is too hard to machine due to its high strength and high work hardening property. A surface property such as surface roughness (SR) is critical to the function-ability of machined components. SS is generally regarded as more difficult to machine material and poor SR is obta...

the effect of dry material, glycerol and ratio of water to seed in alyssum homalocarpum films on their thickness, transparency, moisture content, tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability was investigated using mixture response surface methods. dry material and glycerol were important factors influencing tensile strength, elongation and water vapor permeability. ratio of water t...
