Efficient one-step fabrication of superhydrophobic nano-TiO2/TMPSi ceramic composite coating with enhanced corrosion resistance on 316L

TiO₂ Nanoparticle/Trimethoxy(propyl)silane (TMPSi) ceramic composite coating was deposited on 316L steel using a one-step electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. Silane coupling agent (TMPSi) was added to the EPD bath in different concentrations (from 0.5 to 15 vol %) to decrease the surface energy of the deposited coating. TiO₂ coating is hydrophilic whereas by adding varying concentrations of TMPSi, the obtained nanocomposite coating showed much better hydrophobicity. Surface wettability was measured by water contact angle (WCA) and sliding angle (SA) tests. Moreover, the effect of TMPSi concentration was determined by comparing the WCA and SA values. Surface morphology was studied through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and the presence of micro/nano meter roughness on the surface was confirmed. The distribution of elements were investigated by EDS analysis in which their uniform dispersion was observed. Corrosion behavior of 316L samples before and after the coating process was studied by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests in 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. The polarization curve proved that the superhydrophobic ceramic nanocomposite coatings (WCA = 168° and SA = 3.1°) were able to decrease the corrosion rate of bare 316L (from 12.180 to 5.621 (μm per year)).     

Plastic dye-sensitized photo-supercapacitor using electrophoretic deposition and compression methods

A plastic photo-rechargeable capacitor is studied using a three-electrode configuration, separating a flexible dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and a supercapacitor by sharing a common Pt electrode. The thick and uniform TiO₂ film is formed by using commercially available TiO₂ nanocrystals, which are treated in an isopropyl alcohol without surfactant by the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to deposit the mesoporous TiO₂ photoanode film with good adherence onto the plastic substrate. Afterward, a static mechanical compression technique as the post-treatment is employed to the electrophoretic deposited film in order to enhance the particles connection. In addition, a supercapacitor using PEDOT (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)), which is potentiostatically electropolymerized to form a thick film, is fabricated to store the energy. The flexible DSSC part is fabricated with a TiO₂ film of 10.9 μm thickness and it can provide photoelectric conversion efficiency up to 4.37% under 1 sun illumination. The photocapacitor is made with such a flexible DSSC and a supercapacitor with ca. 0.5 mm thick PEDOT film, which provides a specific capacitance of 0.52 F cm⁻².     

淫羊藿苷含量对Mg/UMAO/CS/IC涂层性能的影响

为了研究淫羊藿苷含量对镁/超声微弧氧化/壳聚糖/淫羊藿苷（Mg/UMAO/CS/IC）涂层性能的影响,并提高纯镁的耐蚀性,采用电泳沉积（EPD）和UMAO技术在纯镁基体上制备Mg/UMAO/CS/IC涂层。采用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、X射线衍射（XRD）、原子力显微镜（AFM）和傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）对涂层的特征进行分析。对不同样品在模拟体液中进行了电化学阻抗和动电位极化的腐蚀行为研究。结果表明：当IC含量为0.4 g/L时CS/IC层具有较好的封孔效果。添加不同IC含量的Mg/UMAO/CS/IC涂层均由Mg、MgO、CS和Mg₂SiO₄组成。不同IC含量涂层的自腐蚀电流密度（i_corr）比Mg至少都低一个数量级,能为镁基底提供更有效的保护。IC含量为0.4 g/L时Mg/UMAO/CS/IC涂层的耐蚀性更好,自腐蚀电流密度（1.667×10^-6 A/cm²）最小。Mg/UMAO/CS/IC涂层可有效解决纯镁在临床骨内固定应用上降解过快的问题。

Electrophoretic deposition of titania nanostructured coatings for photodegradation of methylene blue

The suspensions of titania nanoparticles were prepared in different alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and butanol) using polyethyleneimine (PEI) as dispersant. The results of sedimentation, conductivity, zeta potential, FTIR and thermal analysis showed that PEI macromolecules are protonated in the suspensions and then adsorbed on the particles enhancing their positive surface charge and so colloidal stability. Optimum concentration of PEI (PEI^*) was lower in large molecular size alcohols due to its higher adsorption efficiency. PEI^* was 0.75, 0.5, 0.5 and 0.25?g/l in methanolic, ethanolic, isopropanolic and butanolic suspensions, respectively. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was performed at 60?V in different alcoholic suspensions. EPD rate was the fastest in the suspensions with PEI^* due to the highest mobility of particles. In contrast to the coatings deposited for 1?min from isopropanolic and butanolic suspensions, those deposited at same conditions from methanolic and ethanolic ones severely cracked during drying owing to their higher thickness and lower PEI contents (acting as the binder). The coatings deposited from methanolic and ethanolic suspensions with PEI^* had finer and rougher microstructures. The sintered coating deposited at 60?V for 10?s from ethanolic suspension with PEI^* had crack-free microstructure with the thickness of ≈?130?μm. This coating degraded ≈?24% of methylene blue from its aqueous solution (30?ml with the concentration of 5?mg/l) within 2?h under UV illumination. Photodegradation of MB on the surface of titania coating obeyed the first order kinetics law.

Monte Carlo simulations of the Galileo energetic particle detector

Monte Carlo radiation transport studies have been performed for the Galileo spacecraft energetic particle detector (EPD) in order to study its response to energetic electrons and protons. Three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiation transport codes, MCNP version 4B (for electrons) and MCNPX version 2.2.3 (for protons), were used throughout the study. The results are presented in the form of “geometric factors” for the high-energy channels studied in this paper: B1, DC2, and DC3 for electrons and B0, DC0, and DC1 for protons. The geometric factor is the energy-dependent detector response function that relates the incident particle fluxes to instrument count rates. The trend of actual data measured by the EPD was successfully reproduced using the geometric factors obtained in this study.
