Abstract For reasons of the decrease in weight in the industry light cage design materials like aluminum alloys are frequently used. Because the wear resistance of aluminum alloys and/or aluminum generally is not sufficient, an increased wear resistance can be reached by means of particle reinforced aluminum coatings. The installation of ceramic reinforcing components (for example oxide particles) in the ductile metal matrix brings an essential improvement of the wear resistance particularly with regard to abrasion and short time fatigue wear. The results presented in the paper refer to research works concerning thermally sprayed Al - coatings with Al2O3- and SiC - particles as reinforcement components by vacuum plasma spraying.

Abstract Aluminum coatings reinforced with either Al2O3 or SiC particles were deposited onto aluminum substrates and subjected to various tests. The coatings were made with mechanically alloyed powders via atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). Both types of coatings had uniformly distributed hard particles, porosities in the range of 4 to 5%, and bond strengths of around 20 MPa. The wear resistance of the SiC-reinforced coatings, however, was almost 35% higher than the coatings containing Al2O3. X-ray examination (XRD) showed that the Al2O3 particles undergo partial phase transformation during spraying, making them more prone to wear.

The fatigue wear behavior of PA1010 composites filled with metal oxide particles was experimentally investigated. The nylon composites were prepared by compression molding method with different contents of PA1010 and CuO, Fe3O4, Al2O3 particles. The rolling contact counterpart for nylon composite samples was 1045 carbon steel ring. The rolling contact tests were performed on M-2000 wear test machine in dry friction condition. It was found that the fatigue wear measured in mass loss of nylon composites increases to rolling contact cycles. Most of the samples show an approximately linear relationship between wear mass loss and rolling cycles. Three kinds of metal oxide particles have different effects on the fatigue wear behavior of nylon composites. The contents of metal oxide particles have important influence on the fatigue wear behavior. The nylon composites filled with CuO (30 wt.%) or Fe2O3 (30 wt.%) will result in the comparatively highest wear resistance, the wear mass loss reduces to about 70% of pure nylon. Al2O3 particles is not a good choice for increasing the rolling wear resistance of nylon composites. It is found that the contact fatigue controls the wear mechanism of nylon composites under rolling contact.

Amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients primarily consists of amyloid beta 1-42 (Ab42). Commercially, Ab42 is synthetized using peptide synthesizers. We describe a robust methodology for expression of recombinant human Ab(M1-42) in Rosetta(DE3)pLysS and BL21(DE3)pLysS competent E. coli with refined and rapid analytical purification techniques. The peptide is isolated and purified from the transformed cells using an optimized set-up for reverse-phase HPLC protocol, using commonly available C18 columns, yielding high amounts of peptide (~15-20 mg per 1 L culture) in a short time. The recombinant Ab(M1-42) forms characteristic aggregates similar to synthetic Ab42 aggregates as verified by western blots and atomic force microscopy to warrant future biological use. Our rapid, refined, and robust technique to purify human Ab(M1-42) can be used to synthesize chemical probes for several downstream in vitro and in vivo assays to facilitate AD research.

AbstractThe present study focused on the synthesis of copper hydroxide nanowires decorated on activated carbon (Cu(OH)2-NWs-PVA-AC). The obtained Cu(OH)2-NWs-PVA-AC Nano-composite was distinguished by XRD, SEM, EDX, BET, FTIR and XPS respectively. Besides, different variables such as solution pH, and initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature were performed on the adsorption efficiency of MB in a small batch reactor. Further, the experimental results are analyzed by various kinetic models via PFO, PSO, intra-particle diffusion and Elovich models, and the results revealed that among the kinetic models, PSO shows more suitability. In addition, different adsorption isotherms were applied to the obtained experimental data and found that Langmuir–Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm were best fits with the maximum adsorption capacity of 139.9 and 107.6 mg/g, respectively. The Nano-composite has outstanding MB removal efficiency of 94–98.5% with a span of 10 min. and decent adsorption of about 98.5% at a pH of 10. Thermodynamic constants like Gibbs free energy, entropy, and enthalpy were analyzed from the temperature reliance. The results reveal the adsorption processes are spontaneous and exothermic in nature. The high negative value of ΔG° (− 44.11 to − 48.86 kJ/mol) and a low negative value of ΔH° (− 28.96 kJ/mol) show the feasibility and exothermic nature of the adsorption process. The synthesized dye was found to be an efficient adsorbent for the potential removal of cationic dye (methylene blue) from wastewater within a short time.

ABSTRACTMechanically polished Ti6Al4V samples were implanted with 100 key nitrogen ions to a fluence of 5.1017 ions/cm2 at two different bulk tenneratures: 370°C and 470°C. Wear tests were carried out with a reciprocating slidina tribotester. Structural modifications and wear morphologies were studied by TEM and SEM. 370°C implanted sample showed the same wear behavior as unimplanted ones, while 470°C implanted sample showed better wear resistance because of a TiN hardened layer. Correlations- between microstructural modifications, wear behavior and mechanisms are reported: results agree with the delamination theory. Comparison with ion- and gas-nitrided samples are presented.

Abstract LPPS Thin Film is a new technology for the production of thin functional coatings. The coatings produced can fill the well known gap of coating thickness between conventional thin films (PVD, CVD and others) and conventional thermally sprayed coatings (Plasma, HVOF and others). The application is successful, if the advantages of the new technology (large areas can be dense coated within a very short time) are combined with the specific properties of thermally sprayed coatings to the benefit of the intended application. Beside the technology of LPPS Thin Film and it's characteristics the paper will summarise important properties of Alumina described in the literature and present some corresponding properties of Aluminium oxide coatings produced by LPPS Thin Film.
