At present, most of the studies on cermets are focused on the measurement of macroscopic properties and optical microscopic characterization, while there are few microscopic studies on the interface structure. In this paper, based on density functional theory (DFT), the stability of the Fe/Al2O3 interface is studied, and the stability difference and interface formation mechanism of different end combinations are investigated. By calculating the surface energy, adhesion work, interface energy, density of states, charge density, differential charge density, and so on, it was concluded that the stability of the O-terminal interface was greater than that of the Al interface. It has a certain guiding role in the preparation of Fe/Al2O3 cermet materials.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of this investigation is to prepare, cure, load, and analyze the absorber coating on the substrate under conditions that mimic the on-field thermal properties. This research incorporates predicted isothermal and cyclic loads for parabolic trough systems as stresses. Biweekly inspections of loaded, identical samples monitored the degradation process. We further used the cascade of data from optical, oxide-thickening, crack length, and pull-off force measurements in mathematical modelling to predict the service life of the parabolic trough collector. The results collected and used in modelling suggested that cyclic load in combination with iso-thermal load is responsible for coating fatigue, influencing the solar absorber optical values and resulting in lower energy transformation efficiency. Finally, easy-to-apply coatings made out of spinel-structured black pigment and durable binder could serve as a low-cost absorber coating replacement for a new generation of parabolic trough collectors, making it possible to harvest solar energy to provide medium-temperature heat to decarbonize future food, tobacco, and paint production industrial processes.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A New Paradigm for Semiconductor Manufacturing: Integrated Synthesis, Delivery, and Consumption of Source Chemicals for IC Fabrication","authors":"Barry Arkles, Alain E. Kaloyeros","doi":"10.3390/coatings14091115","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings14091115","url":null,"abstract":"The semiconductor industry is being radically impacted by the placing of greater emphasis on the development of hetero-devices and systems that will act as essential drivers for a wide spectrum of technological applications. The introduction of new materials and their integration with currently used materials are projected to replace integrated circuitry (IC) design and device scaling as the key enablers to the realization of improved device performance and larger density gains. Yet material selection has been constrained by existing fabrication process technology. To date, fabrication processes have dictated material selection by limiting chemical sources or precursors to those that match existing process tools associated with chemically based vapor phase processes and their variants, which in turn limits material compositions in ICs. The processing and integration of new materials compositions and structures will require the introduction of new deposition and etching processes, and manufacturing worthy tool designs and associated protocols that provide new methods for atomic-level control. To this end, a novel manufacturing paradigm is presented comprising a method and system for real-time, closed-loop monitoring and control of synthesis, supply, and consumption of precursors in process intensification techniques including chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), atomic layer etching (ALE), and other IC manufacturing processes. This intelligent automated manufacturing approach is consistent with a central component of the semiconductor industry’s recent adoption of Industry 4.0., including vertical integration of IC manufacturing through robotization, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. Furthermore, the approach eliminates several redundant steps in the synthesis, handling, and disposal of source precursors and their byproducts for CVD, ALD, ALE and other chemically based manufacturing processes, and thus ultimately lowers the manufacturing cost for both conventional and new IC materials. Further, by eliminating the issues associated with precursor thermal, chemical, and pyrophoric instabilities, this new paradigm enables the deposition of a myriad of new thin-film materials and compositions for IC applications that are practically unattainable with existing precursors. Preliminary and planned demonstration examples for the generation and deposition of highly toxic and unstable source precursors are provided.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing conductive solvent-based coatings are volatile when exposed to flammable and toxic organic solvents. Thus, in this work, a series of eco-friendly anticorrosive waterborne polyurethane (WPU) composites with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared via a low-cost and practical process; the dispersion of MWCNTs was revealed when present in different amounts, and the mechanism behind the conduction of WPU composites was determined. We concluded that low amounts of MWCNTs were well dispersed, generating a conductive network, and the WPU composite was not entirely covered by the MWCNT particles, so the electrical conductivity in certain parts of the coating was good. When the content of MWCNTs was excessive, some stretched MWCNTs dispersed to the top of the composite and many MWCNTs agglomerated at the bottom. Additionally, when the content of MWCNTs was increased, the electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and adhesion strength of the WPU composite decreased. Our results could provide a theoretical foundation for the preparation of anticorrosive conductive waterborne composites for protecting equipment in the petrochemical industry.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"280 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that all the coatings had the same generated phases which mainly consisted of TiC, Ti2Ni, Ti2S, matrix β-Ti, and unfused residual WC. Y2O3 formed co-dependent growth relationships with TiC, Ti2S, and Ti2Ni. Meanwhile, TiC-Ti2S, TiC-Ti2Ni, and Ti2S-Ti2Ni coherent composite structure phases were effectively synthesized in all the coatings. With the increase in the Y2O3 content, the exposed area of the matrix increased and other phases refined progressively. When the Y2O3 content in the coatings were 3 and 4 wt.%, the degree of phase refinement in the coatings was consistent and the phases grew along grain boundaries, but microstructure segregated in the 4 wt.% Y2O3 coating. The microhardness of all the coatings was higher than that of TC4 and decreased with the increase in the Y2O3 content. Higher friction coefficients and lower wear rates both appeared in all the coatings than in the substrate, and they presented a trend of decreased first and then increased with the addition of Y2O3, in which the 3 wt.% Y2O3 coating had the lowest friction coefficient and optimal wear resistance. The research found that the Y2O3 could not change the types of phases in the coatings and could serve as a heterogeneous nucleation center for the refinement of the TiC-Ti2S-Ti2Ni coherent structure phase. Meanwhile, except for the matrix phase, Y2O3 could attract other phases to pinning on the grain boundaries of the coatings. The content of Y2O3 was negatively correlated with the hardness and wear resistance of the coating and it had the optimal tribological properties with the moderate amount of Y2O3. The wear mechanism of all coatings was abrasive wear.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research results showed that the efficiency of SMZ degradation by Cd/Er-BMO was significantly improved after doping Er3+ and Cd2+ ions, reflecting the synergistic catalytic effect of Cd2+ and Er3+ co-doping. Cd/Er-BMO doped with 6% Cd had the highest degradation efficiency (93.89%) of SMZ under visible light irradiation. The material revealed excellent stability and reusability in repeated degradation experiments. In addition, 6% Cd/Er-BMO had a smaller particle size and a larger specific surface area, which is conducive to improving the generation efficiency of its photogenerated electron-hole pairs and reducing the recombination rate, significantly enhancing the photocatalysis of the material. This study not only provides an effective photocatalyst for degrading environmental pollutants such as SMZ, but also provides an important scientific basis and new ideas for the future development of efficient and stable photocatalytic materials.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic analysis was conducted to determine how different stirring speeds and durations influenced coating weight and viscosity. The results indicate that the blade shape has a considerable impact on the uniformity and efficacy of the coating, with some designs being far more effective in reaching the optimal viscosity and coating weight through uniformly distributed mixing. Results were consistently obtained when stirring at 800–1200 rpm. It was demonstrated that while stirring speed significantly impacts coating deposition, it has small effect on viscosity. A stirring time of 30 min was found optimal for stabilizing coating weight and viscosity without significant variations. Drying at room temperature produced smoother surfaces with fewer cracks, whereas higher drying temperatures (50 °C) were associated with increased surface roughness and cracking. Crack analysis after drying revealed that coatings mixed with the tri-blade had the lowest tendency to crack, demonstrating its superior capability for even and thorough mixing.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At 400 °C, the surface was pale yellow, gradually turning yellow and then red as the temperature increased. At 700 °C and 800 °C, the surface colors were blue and dark brown, respectively. The samples with oxide films demonstrated lower contact angles, specifically 80.5° ± 2.5 at 400 °C, 79.1° ± 2.8 at 500 °C, and 75.6° ± 3.4 at 600 °C.

This study aimed to determine the effects of CaCl2 (0%–0.05% w/w) on the microstructural, optical, water affinity, and mechanical characteristics of glycerol (Gly)- and sorbitol (Sor)-plasticized pea protein isolate (PPI)-based films. CaCl2 caused darkening and a color shift of the films from yellow to yellow-green. Additionally, decreased light transmission, particularly in the UV range, acidification, and reduced moisture content were observed. CaCl2 decreased the water vapor permeability of the Gly plasticized film by an average of 20% with no effect on the Sor-plasticized film. All films were completely soluble in water. CaCl2 negatively impacted the mechanical integrity of the films, reducing the tensile strength of the Gly- and Sor-plasticized films by ~16% and 14%–37%, respectively. Further increases in CaCl2 content (0.1% and 0.2% w/w) led to concentration-dependent microvoids resulting from protein over-crosslinking and/or coagulation. In summary, the incorporation of CaCl2 into PPI-based films did not provide significant benefits and actually worsened key properties, such as transparency and mechanical strength. The type of plasticizer influenced how CaCl2 affected some properties of the PPI-based film.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
