Carbon nanomaterials with a different character of the chemical bond – graphene (sp2) and nanodiamond (sp3) are the building bricks for a new class of all-carbon hybrid nanomaterials, where the two different carbon networks with the sp3 and sp2 hybridization coexist, interact and even transform into one another. The unique electronic, mechanical, and chemical properties of the two border nanoallotropes of carbon ensure the immense application potential and versatility of these all-carbon graphene – diamond nanomaterials. The review gives an overview of the current state of the art of graphene – diamond nanomaterials, including their composites, heterojunctions, and other hybrids for sensing, electronic, energy storage, and other applications. Also, the graphene-to-diamond and diamond-to-graphene transformations at the nanoscale, essential for innovative fabrication, and stability and chemical reactivity assessment are discussed based on extensive theoretical, computational, and experimental studies.

AbstractGraph theory plays important roles in the fields of electronic and electrical engineering. For example, it is critical in signal processing, networking, communication theory, and many other important topics. A topological index (TI) is a real number attached to graph networks and correlates the chemical networks with physical and chemical properties, as well as with chemical reactivity. In this paper, our aim is to compute degree-dependent TIs for the line graph of the Wheel and Ladder graphs. To perform these computations, we first computed M-polynomials and then from the M-polynomials we recovered nine degree-dependent TIs for the line graph of the Wheel and Ladder graphs.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are promising alternatives to metallic alloys. Their high strength-to-weight ratios; high temperature stabilities; and unique thermal, electrical, and chemical properties make them suitable for automotive, aerospace, defense, electrical, electronic, energy, biomedical, and other applications. The wide range of potential combinations of materials allows the properties of MMCs to be tailored by manipulating the morphology, size, orientation, and fraction of reinforcement, offering further opportunities for a variety of applications in daily life. This Special Issue, “Metal Matrix Composites”, addresses advances in the material science, processing, material modeling and characterization, performance, and testing of metal matrix composites.

High explosive reactions can be caused by three general energy deposition processes: impact ignition by frictional and/or shear heating; bulk thermal heating; and shock compression. The violence of the subsequent reaction varies from benign slow combustion to catastrophic detonation of the entire charge. The degree of violence depends on many variables, including the rate of energy delivery, the physical and chemical properties of the explosive, and the strength of the confinement surrounding the explosive charge. The current state of experimental and computer-modeling research on the violence of impact, thermal, and shock-induced reactions is briefly reviewed in this paper.

Wiener index is the first among the long list of topological indices which was used to correlate structural and chemical properties of molecular graphs. In \cite{Eli} M. Eliasi, B. Taeri defined four new sums of graphs based on the subdivision of edges with regard to the cartesian product and computed their Wiener index. In this paper, we define a new class of sums called $F_H$ sums and compute the Wiener index of the resulting graph in terms of the Wiener indices of the component graphs so that the results in \cite{Eli} becomes a particular case of the Wiener index of $F_H$ sums for $H = K_1$, the complete graph on a single vertex.

Achievements and current state of technology for processing of technogenic materials have been assessed. The goals and objectives of the research have been defined. New laboratory apparatuses for processing mineral raw materials have been developed and manufactured. Laboratory and experimental industrial research of methods of circulation concentration, flotation classification, electrochemical chlorination, turbulization centrifugal separation have been carried out. The methods efficiency was assessed. The results of study of physical and chemical properties and distribution of metals by size classes of tungsten containing tailings are given. Studies of tailings enrichment by gravity, flotation and electrochemical enrichment methods are carried out. It is shown that for preliminary processing it is rational to use the method of circulation concentration. The methods of flotation classification, molybdenum flotation of a collective concentrate, electrochemical leaching of copper from a concentrate from flotation classification, turbulization centrifugal separation of products of tin flotation have been investigated. The innovative technology has been developed for processing complex tungsten containing tailings, based on research on a sample of tungsten containing tailings in the Zhambyl enrichment plant of the Kara-Oba deposit. This technology opens wide opportunities for processing of technogenic products and is offered for industrial implementation.

Purpose: Refractory life, in Al-casting processes such as alloy wheel production, is obviously affected by the inclusions formed in the transfer ladles and holding/melting furnaces in which melting, fluxing and degassing operations are carried out. The short refractory life affects, adversely, the economical aspect of the process. Therefore, a study on the physical and chemical properties of the above mentioned inclusions has been started. The main purpose of the study is to understand the relationships among the metallurgical processes taking place during casting, properties of the refractories used and the formation of inclusions.Design/methodology/approach: During this industry-university joint study, experimental studies using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and optical microscopy were used to investigate the nature and properties of the inclusions. Also, corrosion behaviour of six different refractories was investigated by exposing them to molten aluminium.
