Titanium oxide coatings (Ti/TiO2)were formed on the titanium net surface by micro-arc oxidation(MAO) in Na3PO4 solution using an AC power supply. Then the titanium oxide coatings were treated by acetic acid or La(NO3)3 aqueous solution to improve its activity. The structures and photocatalytic ability of titanium oxide coatings before and after surface treatment were characterized and evaluated by XRD, SEM, EDX. It was found that the titanium oxide film is mainly made of titanium and anatase .When acetic acid aqueous concentration is 0.1mol•L-1 and soak time is 6 hour ,the Ti/TiO2 films photocatalytic degradation rate increased from 15% to 33.6%. When La(NO3)3 aqueous concentration is 0.1mol•L-1 and soak time is 12 hour, the Ti/TiO2 films photocatalytic degradation rate increased from 15% to 34.8%.

Titanium oxide films were formed on the titanium surface by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in Na3PO4 solution. Then the titanium oxide films were soaked by Fe (NO3)3 aqueous and calcined to improve the activity. The photocatalytic ability of titanium oxide films before and after surface treatment was evaluated by Rhodamine B aqueous solution. The results show that the photocatalytic degradation rate of titanium oxide films is low. After the surface treatment, the iron ion was doped on the titanium oxide films. It was found that the photocatalytic activity of the titanium oxide coatings was enhanced after Iron doped. The photocatalytic decoloration rate was increased from 15.1 % to 42 %.

With tribasic sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) as electrolytic liquid, to adopt micro-arc oxidation (MAO) prepares titanium oxide films directly on the titanium net surface. In order to improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 films prepared by micro-arc oxidation, the titanium oxide films were treated by Sulphuric acid aqueous. The structures before and after surface acid treatment were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX,and photocatalytic ability of titanium oxide coatings were evaluated by photocatalytic degradation of acid brilliant scarlet dye aqueous solution . It was found out that the titanium oxide films were mainly made of titanium and anatase. The sodium at titanium dioxide/itanium (TiO2/Ti) film surface was reduced after the Sulphuric acid treatment. The photocatalytic activity of the titanium oxide films were enhanced after Sulphuric acid treatment. When Sulphuric acidaqueous concentration is 0.1mol•L-1 and soak time is 18 hours, the TiO2/Ti films photocatalytic degradation rate increased from 15% to 31%.

In order to study the effect of microarc oxidation modification treatment on the friction properties of titanium alloy surface, the surface treatment layer of Ti-6Al-4V ELI specimen modified by Microarc oxidation surface was sampled, the surface layer hardness, roughness and treatment layer thickness were tested, the microscopic morphology was analyzed, The friction tests of TC4 substrate and micro-arc oxidation treatment surface disc with 25% glass fiber, 15% fiberglass +5% graphite and 60% tin bronze reinforced PTFE pin were carried out, and the results showed that the thickness increased slightly and the surface layer hardness increased by about 75% after the micro-arc oxidation surface modification treatment. Compared with the substrate, the surface roughness is obviously improved, and the friction coefficient of the surface treatment specimen is similar to that of the TC4 titanium alloy substrate, but the wear amount is higher than that of the TC4 titanium alloy substrate.

The surface treatment of carbon fibers (CFs) was carried out using a self-synthesized sizing agent. The effects of sizing agent on the surface of CFs and the interface properties of CF/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) composites were mainly studied. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and static contact angle were used to compare and study the CFs before and after the surface treatment, including surface morphology, surface chemical element composition, and wettability of the surface. The influence of sizing agent on the mechanical properties of CF/PMMA resin composite interface was investigated. The results show that after sizing treatment, the CF surface O/C value increased by 35.1% and the contact angles of CF and resin decreased by 16.2%. The interfacial shear strength and interlayer shear strength increased by 12.6%.

An efficient, environmentally compatible and highly porous, silver surface-modified photocatalytic zinc oxide/cellulose acetate/ polypyrrole ZnO/CA/Ppy hybrid nanofibers matrix was fabricated using an electrospinning technique. Electrospinning parameters such as solution flow rate, applied voltage and the distance between needles to collector were optimized. The optimum homogenous and uniform ZnO/CA/Ppy polymeric composite nanofiber was fabricated through the dispersion of 0.05% wt ZnO into the dissolved hybrid polymeric solution with an average nanofiber diameter ranged between 125 and 170 nm. The fabricated ZnO-polymeric nanofiber was further surface-immobilized with silver nanoparticles to enhance its photocatalytic activity through the reduction of the nanofiber bandgap. A comparative study between ZnO polymeric nanofiber before and after silver immobilization was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the two different prepared nanofibers before and after nanosilver immobilization for malachite green (MG) dye was compared against various experimental parameters. The optimum degradation efficiency of nanosilver surface-modified ZnO-polymeric nanofibers was recorded as 93.5% for malachite green dye after 1 h compared with 63% for ZnO-polymeric nanofibers.

Highly oriented and self-ordered titanium-niobium-iron mixed oxide nanotubes were synthesized by anodizing Ti10NbxFe alloys in ethylene glycol electrolytes containing NH4F and water at 20 °C. The nanostructure morphologies were found to depend closely on the nature of the alloy substrates. The results demonstrate the possibility of growing mixed oxide nanotubes possessing several-micrometer-thick layers by a simple and straightforward electrochemical route. The methylene blue degradation rate of fabricated Ti-Nb-Fe-O nanotubes increased by 33% compared to TiO2 nanotubes and TiO2 nanoparticle films under solar irradiation. The combination of the gully-like morphology and the rich defects introduced by Nb and Fe co-doping in Ti-Nb-Fe-O mixed nanotube oxides was demonstrated to be beneficial for enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance. Ti-Nb-Fe-O nanotubes can achieve effective photodegradation without secondary pollution with more reusability than powder photocatalysts.

Alternaria dauci (J.G. Kühn) J.W. Groves et Skolko and A. radicina Meier, Drechsler et E.D. Eddy are important seed-transmitted pathogens of carrot. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of acetic acid treatments on the quality of stored carrot seeds. Seeds of two samples were soaked for 30 min in 0.5, 1 and 2% acetic acid. Controls included untreated seeds, seeds soaked in distilled water and seeds treated with fungicide Zaprawa Nasienna T 75 WS/DS (a.i. thiram 75%). Germination, vigour and health of untreated and treated seeds were evaluated before and after 5 and 12 months of storage at 4 and 20 °C. Seeds of both samples treated with 0.5 and 1% acetic acid were characterized by higher germination capacity after storage than untreated seeds. However, treatments with 1 and 2% acetic acid negatively affected seed vigour. Generally, seeds of both samples treated with acetic acid were characterized by lower infestation with A. alternata and A. radicina after storage than untreated seeds and seeds soaked in distilled water. Moreover, acetic acid often controlled these fungi more effectively than the fungicide. Regardless of the storage duration, infestation with fungi was higher if seeds of both samples were stored at a lower temperature.
