The adhesion, structure architecture, and residual stresses of crystalline diamond coatings (CDCs) on cemented carbide inserts are the factors that significantly affect tool life. influence these cutting performance cannot be investigated separately since interactions among them exist. paper elucidates such dependencies to optimize CDC architecture improve performance. In this context, possessi...

The development prospects of memristive elements for non-volatile memory with use the metal-dielectric-metal sandwich structures a thin oxide layer are due to possibility reliable forming sustained functional states quantized resistance. In paper we study properties fabricated memristors based on non-stoichiometric $ZrO_2$ nanotubes in different resistive switching modes. Anodic oxidation $Zr$ ...

In this study, cisplatin (CDDP)-loaded chitosan-coated solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) was successfully formulated to treat HeLa cervical carcinoma. The formulation nanoparticles were nanosized and exhibited a controlled release of drug in physiological conditions. The blank nanoparticles exhibited an excellent biocompatibility profile indicating its suitability for cancer targeting. The incorp...

The ability to artificially grow in a controllable manner at nanoscale, from modern deposition techniques, complex structural configurations made with metallic, polar and semiconductors materials raises today the issue of the ‘best’ achievable inner structure to tailor the near-field properties of a nanostructured medium. In the present work we make a step towards the rational design of these m...

MXenes are two-dimensional transition-metal carbides and nitrides with an attractive combination of physicochemical properties, gaining notable potential in many applications. Currently, MXene synthesis is mainly performed from powder precursors whose purity grain size define the quality flake 2D sheets, typically not exceeding 2–3 μm. In this work, we successfully synthesize macroscopic nanola...

Self-healing materials are able to partially or completely reverse the damage inflicted on them. The possibility of self-healing mechanical and chemical failures that occur during service will improve the lifetime and reliability of structural materials. For this purpose, two main steps must be considered: (i) detection, and (ii) repairing (healing) of cracks. The exothermic character of reacti...

Polymer-clay nanocomposites (PCNCs) containing either a rubber or an acrylate polymer were prepared by drying or co-precipitating polymer latex and nanolayered clay (synthetic and natural) suspensions. The interface between the polymer and the clay nanoparticles was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques by selectively addressing spin probes either to the surfactant layer (...

Herein, we report a unique tin phosphate that is remarkably selective to (137)Cs(+) from extremly acidic solutions because of its special layered structure with an unusually large interlayer space. This acidic exchanger is superior to other existing materials in terms of its selectivity and capacity for (137)Cs(+) from acidic solutions.
