In addition, XRD, optical microscopy, microhardness, and sphere-disk tribological analysis were used to verify the surface changes of the samples. The results showed a significant improvement in surface hardness and better wear resistance of AISI 6160 Steel submitted to Duplex treatment. The sample submitted to the CCPD treatment for 4 hours and, after nitriding at 500 °C for 2 hours, presented higher surface hardness and wear resistance than the sample only subjected to plasma deposition, characterizing the efficiency of the use of the duplex treatment adopted in the present work.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67304080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A close correlation between quality of interphases and its photovoltaic efficiency was determined. It was found an improvement of open circuit voltage (V OC ) and efficiency associated to CdS and CdTe thermal treatments, and a reduction of diffusion of S and Cd into CdTe and CdS respectively. An efficiency of 12% has been reached on solar cells with a Te and ZnTe interlayer as part of the back contact. Low diffusion of Cu along absorbent material was observed when Te and ZnTe was used creating a stable back contact along the time.

The deposition of Nb 2 O 5 coatings by using the reactive sputtering technique on the 2198-T851 alloy surface appears as a powerful tool to improve the corrosion resistance of this material. Recently, groundbreaking research findings have demonstrated the positive effect of Nb 2 O 5 coatings on corrosion protection of alloy 2198-T851. However, the corrosion products originated from the 2198-T851 aluminium alloy are poorly understood. The use of Raman spectroscopy and XPS techniques may help to shed some light on the corrosion products of 2198-T851 alloy.

Chemical and mechanical properties were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and instrumented indentation technique (IIT). X-ray diffraction spectra and electron diffraction patterns revealed the presence of a Ti (1-x) Al x N phase with a face-centered cubic structure in both films. In metal mode, the coatings exhibited a preferential (111) plane orientation, changing to (200) in the compound mode.

The synthesis and sintering methods affected various properties of the ceramics, including grain size, density, phase amount, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. Microwave heating method reduced the time required for the powder synthesis and sintering of ceramics. Ceramics produced using powder obtained by the conventional method presented Figure of Merit (ZT) values of approximately 0.04. However, these values were reduced for the ceramics produced by microwave heating reaching a value of about 0.02. The evaluation of the thermoelectric properties of the Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 ceramics suggests that the main issue to enhance the Figure of Merit of the CCO ceramics is related to density and Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 phase amount present in the ceramics.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67303223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacteria can attach to the surface of the implant producing biofilms, and if treatment with antibiotics does not work, further surgery is necessary to remove the infected implant. Among the biomaterials for bone implants, bioceramics based on calcium phosphates (CaPs) such as β-TCP stand out, due to their chemical similarity with bone and high bioresorbability. β-TCP has the characteristic of easily accommodating in its crystalline structure reasonable amounts of doping elements, such as monovalent and trivalent ions, which makes it an efficient transporter of drugs, molecules, and therapeutic ions The objective of this work was the incorporation of bioactive glass (BG 45S5) via sol-gel and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) in β-TCP scaffolds, aiming to confer antimicrobial activity to the scaffolds, without prejudice to biocompatibility. XRD and FT-IR analysis indicated structural changes after the incorporation of BG 45S5 and Ag-NPs in β-TCP scaffolds, and these compounds induced the partial transformation of the β-TCP phase into α-TCP phase and the formation of sodium-calcium silicates and silver silicates. The FT-IR spectra showed characteristic bands of α-TCP after incorporation, in addition to the predominant bands of β-TCP. Biocompatibility after incorporation of BG 45S5 was improved, with a significant increase in cell viability. After the incorporation of Ag-NPs, cell viability was maintained at an acceptable level, no cytotoxic behavior was observed, and the scaffolds showed antibacterial and antifungal activity. The results indicate that BG 45S5 and the Ag-NPs incorporated showed a synergistic behavior, conferring antimicrobial activity to the scaffolds without compromising biocompatibility, showing great potential for applicability in tissue engineering.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67305317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermochromic sensors covered with a varnish layer and nano-titanium oxide, in addition to thermochromic paint, were produced. A 2 3 experimental design was established to assess the performance of thermochromic sensors under artificial weathering conditions. Color measurements of the coatings were performed using the CIELAB method. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), UV-Vis (Ultraviolet-Visible), (thermogravimetric TGA, and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analyses were performed on the sensors exposed to photodegradation to detect changes in the thermochromic coatings. The sensors exposed to thermodegradation, and salt spray weathering showed ΔE (total color difference) values below 1.50 points in the presence of TiO 2 . In comparison, the sensors exposed to photodegradation showed ΔE values above 10 points, and UV-Vis analysis revealed changes in the chemical structure of the coatings. These results demonstrate that the varnish layer and TiO 2 can help minimize the degradation effects of temperature, light, and salinity.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67304503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, varying contact loads and sliding speeds were applied to tribological tests. The ZA-27 alloy was produced using gravity die casting (GDC) and new rheo-casting (NRC) methods. The results showed that the microstructure of GDC ZA-27 alloy is dendritic containing α and η phases. While the NRC alloy microstructure demonstrates a semi-globular structure of fine equiaxed α phase bordered by eutectoid α and η. The NRC alloy achieved an improvement in tensile, hardness, and elongation properties by almost 15%, 20%, and 25%, respectively. Regarding tribological properties, the NRC alloy achieved an enhancement in tribo-behavior by lowering the coefficient of friction (COF) to about 67% than the GDC alloy. Further, the results showed that the wear rate recorded an increment with applied load for both GDC and NRC alloys. Though, the results showed that the wear rate with NRC alloy was lower compared to the GDC alloy with about 84% at 160N normal load. The worn surfaces of NRC alloys were characterized by smooth and shallow wear grooves. While the GDC alloy worn surfaces were rougher and experience deeper grooves and damage.","PeriodicalId":18331,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research-ibero-american Journal of Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67303451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
