Tightly bonding of bioactive coating is the first crucial need for orthopaedic implants. This study describes a novel and convenient technique to prepare bioactive coating with high adhesion on orthopaedic substitutes made of polymeric matrix. Here, a chemical corrosion method has been adopted to fabricate a coating on the surface of injection-moulded polyamide66 (PA66) substrates by corrosive ...

The fabrication of multi-level SU-8 microstructures using multiple coating and exposure steps and a single developing step has been achieved for up to six layers of SU-8. Alternating layers of SU-8 2010 (thin) and SU-8 2100 (thick) photoresist films were spin coated, followed by soft-bake, ultraviolet (UV) exposure and post-exposure bake steps. The multiple SU-8 layers were simultaneously devel...

In this work, the hydrophobic modification of TiO2 nanoparticles (HTiO2) was carried out by reacting with dodecylphosphonic acid (DDPA) and hexylamine solution. A facile approach of the self-assembly technique was used for the coating of hydrophobic HTiO2 layer over the microporous polypropylene (PP) membrane. The self-assembled layer was formed between the interface of trimesoyl chloride (TMC)...

For commercial applications, specially formulated conversion coating treatments based on chromates and phosphates have been used extensively to prevent rapid Zn dissolution in aerospace, food processing and automobile industries. Chromate coatings are favored due to their barrier and corrosion resistance properties. Chromium deposition is obtained from hexavalent Cr salt baths, which are subjec...

Ł. Jamrozowicz, J. Zych, J. Kolczyk, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Foundry Engineering, Kraków, Poland Investigation results of the drying rate of the selected protective coatings (water and alcohol) are presented in the article. Coating drying rate was determined for the first and second layers. The coating was applied to moulding sand cores. The rate of drying coatings ...

in this article, failure and fracture mechanisms in an aluminum alloy (which has been used in diesel internal combustion engines), with and without ceramic thermal barrier coatings, have been investigated under isothermal and non-isothermal fatigue loadings. in this research, the base material is an aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy and the thermal barrier coating includes a metallic bond coat l...

This paper presents the coating thickness effect on the stress distribution of a coated cylinder head. A typical thermal barrier coating was applied on a diesel engine cylinder head. Thus, the residual stress which occurred during the plasma thermal spraying was also considered. The coating system consisted of two layers a metallic bond coat and a ceramic top coat. The bond coat thickness is co...

The thermal spraying surface engineering industry relies on manual spraying and standard pre-programmed robotic systems. This research presents the completed geometric forward and inverse kinematics solution for a non standard articulated robotic manipulator which includes continuous 360 axis rotation for waist, shoulder and elbow joints with a commercially available joint for tilt and pitch.
