Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the antibacterial coatings are recognized widely yet have not been well developed for powder coatings due to the size, carriers, dispersity and Ag<sup>+</sup> release of AgNPs. Herein, polyamide-based (PA) powder coating is prepared by microwave-driven spheroidization of PA particles and in-situ self-assembly of AgNPs based on polydopamine as active sites. PA particles with a sphericity of 0.93 show near perfect round morphology. It is conducive to decreasing the particle interactions, such as van der Waals and electrostatic forces, compared to irregular ones, thereby exhibiting superior flowability. Owing to AgNPs with a size of 75 ± 3 nm in coatings showed adaptable Ag<sup>+</sup> release rate, superior dispersity and interface compatibility. The coatings thus present durable antibacterial properties and wear resistance.

However, PP/SIR interface in composites is susceptible to electrical and moisture corrosion, severely affecting the stability of electrical equipment. In this study, an interface enhancement method for PP/SIR is developed based on atmospheric pressure plasma surface modification. Through controlling reaction conditions, Ar and Ar/hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) plasma are established to provide reactive species such as Ar* and Si-containing fragments, which could etch or deposit SiO<sub>3∼4</sub> film on PP and SIR surfaces. The plasma treatment increases surface roughness and introduces polar oxygen-containing groups, while the film deposition fabricates hydrophobic surfaces, as well as shallows the surface trap to inhibit charge accumulation. The modified surfaces are configured in pairs to form PP/SIR interface for interface performance optimization. It is demonstrated that plasma etching promotes interface breakdown voltage of PP/SIR by 97.3 %, but the etched interface suffers from moisture invasion. By contrast, plasma film deposition blocks moisture penetration in PP/SIR interface, and synchronously contributes to the highest improvement of interface breakdown voltage (increased by 137.3 %). The facile plasma strategy could tailor multiple performances of surfaces and interfaces, which is of great significance for advanced dry-type modification in emerging applications.","PeriodicalId":247,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145203693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, the microstructure, hardness and residual stress of surface layer was characterized. The results show that USRT and SP process does not change the phase composition of alloy surface, but introduce a large number of deformation twins and dislocations on the surface, resulting in significant grain refinement. USRT and SP samples exhibit enhanced surface hardness and residual compressive stress compared to the untreated sample.

Several national programmes, including those in the UK, Japan, and Canada, are evaluating corrosion-resistant alloys for waste canisters. Among these, novel materials such as titanium alloys have emerged as promising candidates due to their protective TiO<sub>2</sub> films. However, the threat of microbial corrosion under repository-relevant conditions remains highly unexplored. To address this, titanium discs (grade 2, ASTM B348) were incubated in bentonite slurries with synthetic pore-water at 30 °C and 60 °C under strictly anoxic, dark conditions, mimicking deep underground GDF environments. Electron donors (acetate, lactate) and an electron acceptor (sulphate) were added to stimulate microbial activity and assess long-term canister performance. All titanium samples retained an intact TiO<sub>2</sub> layer with no detectable pitting or localised damage. Microscopic (SEM) and spectroscopic (XPS) analyses showed slight thinning of titanium oxide films and microbial presence co-located with bentonite, but no evidence of corrosion products or metal loss. Micro-FTIR showed functional groups associated with microbial presence (proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides) in the bentonite, but not on titanium surfaces. The experimental design aimed to promote bacterial activity to simulate worst-case GDF biotic conditions.These findings demonstrate titanium’s exceptional stability against microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) in stimulated GDF-like environments. This study supports the structural viability of titanium canisters for nuclear waste disposal and underscores the importance of considering microbial factors in long-term corrosion assessments.","PeriodicalId":247,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145195017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
