Chromium deposits rank among the most widespread metal coatings for functional and decorative purposes. However, electrodeposition from Cr(VI) aqueous solution, which is industrial process currently used to achieve thin chromium deposits, presents several environmental issues, urging development of alternative solutions. In this study, aims compare aesthetical properties coatings, 800 nm thick ...

Abstract Copper coatings are an important group of decorative-protective materials characterised by high corrosion resistance, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, which lately gained more significance due to their antimicrobial activity. The main aim the presented research was electrodeposit homogenous copper from non-cyanide electrolyte solution in galvanostatic conditions on steel ...

According to global market analysis, annual production of polymer composites is expected increase by an average 6%, reaching a volume 13-14 million tonnes 2024, primarily in the building industry and mechanical engineering sectors. Recycling can be achieved through secondary use or recycling solid waste. In Russia, about 160 out 343 producers are engaged recycling, with focus on thermoplastics....

This paper describes a flexible tool for decorative halftoning. Decorative halftoning produces a picture that can be seen simultaneously on two levels: either as an over-all image, or as a grid of much smaller motif images. The tool presented here is flexible: any small image can be used as a motif. When the motif is a black-and-white image, this tool improves on other techniques, which cannot ...

With the growing environmental awareness, there is a rising demand for green decorative materials in furniture and indoor design. However, existing studies lack overall evaluation of functions To make up gap, this paper evaluates function explores preparation method Firstly, types purchase principles were expounded, flow wood product coating was given Then, an model established materials, stoch...

concentrate our attention upon the work of the little-known or even anonymous masters and endeavor to delineate the outlines of a "style" belonging not only to an individual but to a generation and a country. Particular problems in the decorative arts can in this way lead to an understanding of the mind and taste of a bygone age that is quite unexpected. Hence it is that such studies in the hig...
