Tribocorrosion and antibacterial behaviour of TiO2 coatings obtained by PEO technique
Ti6Al4V (grade 5) is the implant material of choice to be used in stems of hip joint implants due to its good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and its good corrosion resistance.
Evaluation of the optoelectronic properties and corrosion behavior of Al2O3-doped ZnO films prepared by dc pulsed magnetron sputtering
The main requirements for transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films acting as electrodes are a high transmission rate in the visible spectral region and low resistivity.
Structural, electrical and optical properties of sprayed Nd–F codoped ZnO thin films
Undoped ZnO, Nd doped ZnO (NZO), and Nd–F co-doped ZnO (NFZO) thin films were prepared at 350 °C on glass substrates by chemical spray pyrolysis method.
Study of the optical, electrical and corrosion resistance properties of AZO layers deposited by DC pulsed magnetron sputtering
Aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO) is a common material used as a front contact layer on chalcopyrite CuInGaSe2 (CIGS)-based thin-film solar cells since it combines optimum optical and electrical properties with low cost and abundant elemental availability.
The effect of doping elements and oil additives on the tribological performance of boundary-lubricated DLC/DLC contacts
In the past decade the range of possible applications for diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings has changed significantly: from their conventional use in low-stress applications without lubricants, to their use in high-stress applications under lubricated conditions.
