The results of study demonstrate that in NaCl medium, exposure of both UV-A and UV-C shifts the Open Circuit Potential (OCP) in active direction (less noble) as compared to the specimen without UV exposure which indicates less stable passive film. While in sulphuric acid both UV-A and UV-C shifts OCP in noble direction which reflects the stability nature of passive film. In H2SO4 medium, exposure of both UV-A and UV-C assist in improving passivity which is indicated by lower passive current density. In NaCl medium, exposure of both UV-A and UV-C, decrease the pitting corrosion resistance as indicated by lower Epit (pitting potential) and higher Icorr (corrosion current density). In H2SO4 uniform dissolution was observed after each polarization experiment as shown in optical micrographs. In NaCl medium pitting sites are more under both type UV exposures as revealed by microstructure after polarization experiment. EIS (Nyquist plots) showed that exposure of both UV-A and UV-C in NaCl medium specimens have lower polarization resistance (Rp) than without UV exposure. Lower Rp confirms lesser protectiveness of passive film. In case of H2SO4, higher arc radius (Rp) is observed under UV exposure for both UV-A and UV-C.","PeriodicalId":17031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surface Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46901117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nano-fillers, such as CNT/Graphene (GnP)/Nanodiamond (NDs) and other carbonaceous materials increase its ability to withstand crack propagation thus its fracture strength propitiously improved. This paper studies compressive properties of MWCNT/GnP/NDs on epoxy based composite material. A static uniaxial compression test was conducted in order to study the effect of these fillers on the compressive stress-strain behaviour of such composites. In this study, the MWCNT/GnP/NDs are added individually as 0.2 wt% and for the hybrid composite, 0.1 wt. % of NDs is added separately along with 0.1 wt% of MWCNT and GnP to the epoxy matrix. The bonding between MWCNT/GnP/NDs with the epoxy matrix is confirmed by microscopic observations. The results showed that the individual addition of 0.2 wt% of MWCNT/GnP/NDs, improves the compressive strength whereas the hybrid composite produced a declining trend. The reverse trend was also observed for the modulus value of the above mentioned composite materials.","PeriodicalId":17031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surface Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42543867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, an effort has been made to improve the toughening properties of WC-Co coatings through reinforcement of Carbon Nano-Tubes (CNTs) using High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) spraying process. In this work, 2 wt%, 4 wt%, and 6 wt% of CNTs were blended by the ball milling process with WC-Co powders. These composed powders were deposited by HVOF process on to the plain mild steel substrates. The scratch test analysis on as-sprayed coatings showed that due to the addition of CNTs on WC-Co coatings, the resistance to penetrate the coating surface increased. Also, by varying the percentage of CNTs in the coating system, the pores were reduced. This phenomenon is attributed to the toughening mechanism by forming a CNT bridge which avoids the formation of internal cracks.","PeriodicalId":17031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surface Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46862117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mitra","doi":"10.18311/JSST/2020/23282","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18311/JSST/2020/23282","url":null,"abstract":"Protein adsorption on solid surfaces is an immensely complex event comprising versatile biological and physico-chemical factors. This review focuses to ascertain the nature and biocompatibility of solid matrices essential for the medical needs during prosthetic implantations. It deals with number of important factors; nature of the biomaterial surfaces, the native protein structure, and induced configurational changes during the adsorbed state, andphysico-chemical influences liable for the event. The adsorption process demonstrates that solid surfaces are enabling to alter the protein structure. The conversion of neutral zymogens factor XII, and factor VII (FXII and FVII) to active enzymatic state (FXIIa and FVIIa) initiating the blood coagulation cascade following intrinsic or extrinsic pathway is a prime example regarding the configuration alteration during adsorbed state compared to its nativestate. Additionally, the activation of the complement cascade arises as a result of immune activation due to the adsorbed proteins on solid matrices. It is well known that interfacial tension compels the protein molecules to alter their structure, and is the prime factor behind the configuration transformation. Influences like contact angle, wettability, zeta potential and hydrophobicity along with other inter-aligned forces are involved. It is found that hydrophobic surfaces allow more proteins to bind but fail to activate the coagulation cascade. Contrarily, hydrophilic surfaces despite the feeble adsorption ability impose adequate changes to induce the enzymatic action. The nature of adsorption at the stationary state has been explained following the Gibbs' model of surface excess, Langmuir or any of the equivalent paradigms. But uniqueness in adsorption behavior is noticed in the ‘Vroman effect' while undergoing multiple protein interaction on the solid surfaces. Additionally, the property of cell adhesion heavily relies on the surface matter. Hydrophobicity, surface charge, chemical composition, and topography concertedly play crucial role. Further, prior adsorption of proteins on the adsorbent imposes profound effect on the cell and microbial adhesions which obviously depends on the character of proteins, and cells including the surface chemical composition of the adsorbents. The incident of bio-fouling which often enforces harmful effect arising from various implants is primarily instigated by the adsorption of proteins leading to subsequent invasion prompted by the immune cells. For avoidance, special categories of biomaterials are in the process of manufacturing. Despite having numerous adverse effects, cellular adhesion also shows few beneficial roles, like enhancing the growth of human vein endothelium cells and neurons. The adhesion of bacteria or microorganisms on many solid surfaces induces significantly different effects maintaining their longer survival period.","PeriodicalId":17031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surface Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44837244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adsorbents used are natural phosphate rock coming from Khouribga phosphate mine (Morocco) and an Apatite synthesized from this phosphate by a dissolution–precipitation reactions. Results obtained showed that the structure of natural phosphate and synthesized apatite are respectively Ca9.55(PO4)4.96F1.96 (CO3)1.283 and (Ca10(OH)2(PO4)6). Synthesized apatite has a higher specific surface than natural phosphate (193.62m2/g). The adsorption study showed that the synthesized apatite can be used as an adsorbent to remove phenol from water with very fast reaction kinetics (about 10 min) and an adsorption capacity equal to 15mg/g. The optimal adsorption capacity was found in low values of temperature and in neutral pH. Adsorption kinetics of phenol solution on the two adsorbents can be described by an equation corresponding to a pseudo second order. Freundlich model fitted well with the adsorption isotherms more than the Langmuir model. Characterization of olive mill wastewater shows that, phenol index equal to 0.39 g/l and chemical oxygen demand COD equal to 158 g/l. The treatment of OMWW by adsorption method on the two adsorbents shows that the use of natural phosphate as adsorbent reduced phenol index by 23% and (COD) by 35% while using synthesized apatite reduced phenol index by 30% and COD by 38%.","PeriodicalId":17031,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surface Science and Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49160074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Till now, very few efforts are dedicated for application of immobilized biosorbents in literature therefore further investigations were done on the biosorption efficiency of biomass immobilized in a natural matrix which might augment stability, mechanical strength, and reusability of the biomass. Approximately 86 and 95% biosorption of copper was attained under optimum reaction conditions using Loofah immobilized with Baker's yeast, and A. oryzae, respectively. Desorption efficiency of the immobilized biomass was evaluated by performing successive biosorption-desorption cycles. Successful regeneration of Loofah sponge loaded with immobilized biosorbent was illustrated by desorbing more than 95% copper.
