Water pollution is a growing environmental issue which severely threatens human health. Consequently, development of novel materials for water purification and waste treatment is an important research topic. Functional nanomaterials exhibiting photocatalytic properties, along with a very high surface area, have been widely investigated, since these nanostructures are quite effective in the degr...

Nanocoatings In article number 2101374, Yang Cao, Luyi Sun, and co-workers present a layered nanocoating comprising hundreds of highly oriented organic/inorganic alternating nanolayers on the polymer surface to revive Schottky barrier for effective charge-injection blocking. The superior 2D assembly leads flexible material architecture at electrode–dielectric interface, thus providing novel des...

Hard systems of nanocoatings deposited using PVD (physical vapor deposition) are used in the artificial heart prosthesis. Correct determination of nanomaterial parameters is crucial for accuracy of simulation. The objective of this work is identification of material parameters of nanocoatings in hard system using the inverse analysis based on the artificial neural network metamodeling. The inve...

Plasma nanocoating of allylamine were deposited on the surfaces of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to provide desirable functionalities and thus to tailor the surface characteristics of MWCNTs for improved dispersion and interfacial adhesion in epoxy matrices. Plasma nanocoated MWCNTs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron micro...

Article history: Received 28 September 2015 Revised 2 December 2015 Accepted in revised form 11 December 2015 Available online 12 December 2015 A three-layer backward propagation (BP)modelwas used to predict the hardness of Ni–TiNnanocoatings fabricated by pulse electrodeposition. The effect of plating parameters, namely, TiN particle concentration, current density, pulse frequency, and duty ra...

A crystallized SrTiO3 (STO) nanocoating on a primary SiO2 nanoparticle was produced by metal alkoxide processing with chemical modification. The coated layer surface morphology and the coating amount were controlled molecular design of STO precursor solution. When using partially hydrolyzed solution (a polymerized solution), an approximately 10-nm-thick homogeneous obtained core particle. From ...

In the study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) were coated on carbon steel substrates via pulse laser deposition (PLD) process, in order to achieve passive layers of nanocoating. ST37-2 a type is used manufacture tanks that are oil applications, which suffers from corrosion, this will lead large losses. Electrochemical technique (Tafel polarization completion) has been carried out for study cor...
