This novel and emerging forming technique can potentially be useful as a green aspect of manufacturing by reducing the required power and by saving the resources for producing the components of lightweight materials because material is deformed locally during ISF. The surface quality of the formed parts from sheet material affects the aesthetics aspects, stress concentration, fatigue life and their applicability. This review article aims to provide a state-of-the-art review for various aspects and parameters of ISF process that affect the surface roughness significantly by conducting literature survey quantitatively. Furthermore, the techniques of ISF and roles of various parameters responsible for affecting the surface quality of parts have also been explored for providing the critics for existing literature and setting the further guidelines for the researchers. Various instruments used for measuring the surface roughness of parts formed by ISF has also been discussed. Comparative analysis of exiting literature available in the context of various process parameters, ISF hardware, and surface roughness makes this study comprehensive and exhaustive for the researchers to find the gaps and challenges in this field. The relationship of wall angle with other process parameters can be explored in the future to obtain the desired surface quality of a particular material. Significant parameters responsible for the surface quality have also been discussed critically. Further, the new tool paths can be developed for high surface quality and low forming time. A study on the selection of feed rate for various applications and relation with other parameter is also recommended for the future work. The lubricants with additives can further be tested for high surface quality of ISF. Further, significant study on surface roughness is not conducted on hybrid sheet forming and other advanced variants of ISF (like hot forming, friction stir assisted incremental forming, waterjet forming). It is required to develop the comparisons between the different techniques of ISF.

Herein, a ferroelectric polymer, poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethyne) (PVDF-TrFE), is chosen as a flexible material due to its promising prospect for energy harvesting. To improve the performance, a ceramic material, 0.65Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–0.35PbTiO₃ (PMN-PT), with very high piezoelectric properties has been selected as the reinforcement.

In recent years, organic molecules from plant extracts and expired drugs have been tested due to their potential corrosion inhibition properties. However, direct corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE%) evaluation requires costly reactants and a specific experimental setup. Quantitative-structure activity relationship (QSAR) proposes modeling IE% in terms of variables measured in previous experiments or determined by theoretical approaches. Computed descriptors, such as ionization energy (I), electronic affinity (A), or global hardness, were added to a database of physicochemical properties. This work compares several methodologies to obtain precise yet portable mathematical models for predicting corrosion inhibition efficiency. As an original approach from this research group, nonlinear autoregressive moving average with exogenous inputs (NARMAX), using forward regression with orthogonal least squares (FROLS), models were implemented as a robust method to get nonlinear portable models and to determine the most important variables impacting IE%. Contrastingly, ordinary least squares (OLS) methodology was employed with the novelty of applying power series expansions from the promoted FROLS variables for linear and polynomial regression with only one independent variable, which resulted in clearer graph visualization of trends and the ease of proposing thumb rules based on raw information. Finally, IBM Watson was also compared as a robust yet non-portable and highly parametrized alternative to conventional mathematical approaches, based on extra trees regressor (ETR). The models were compared using mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean-squared error (MSE), and root-mean-squared error (RMSE). Overall, models with fewer variables and up to second-order terms show improved performance. The main tendencies of IE%, drawn by inferences for 630 substances by second-order NARX, are analyzed. Also, the determinant role of the highest occupied molecular orbital energy was reported. Experimentalists can take advantage of a “cost-free” general approach that can obtain estimations for IE% values with errors of about 6 %, in particular the second-order NARX model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":34303,"journal":{"name":"Applied Surface Science Advances","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100621"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666523924000497/pdfft?md5=3464e9266d1d00fa94793a449be2e4f2&pid=1-s2.0-S2666523924000497-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141953517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the complex relationship between humidity and gas sensor performance, the development of gas sensors has recently focused on minimizing humidity-related interference. This research aims to address humidity-related challenges in zinc oxide (ZnO) gas sensors designed to detect triethylamine. The ZnO nanostructures (NSs) were synthesized using thermal decomposition methods at varying temperatures (380 °C, 480 °C, and 580 °C) and annealing times (3 h, 7 h, 12 h, and 21 h). X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of a wurtzite hexagonal close-packed structure in ZnO NSs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images provided insights into the morphologies of ZnO NSs at different annealing temperatures, while energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) demonstrated the elemental distribution. Subsequently, gold (Au) nanoparticles were uniformly sputtered onto ZnO sensors with thickness variations (0.1 nm, 0.6 nm, 1 nm, 5 nm, and 10 nm). XPS was employed to analyse the elemental composition and oxygen vacancies of the synthesized sensing materials. The effectiveness of 0.6 nm-thick Au nanoparticles in mitigating humidity effects was observed in ZnO sensors synthesized at 380 °C. The results indicated that ZnO sensors coated with 0.6 nm-thick Au nanoparticles exhibited highly stable responses to ethanol and triethylamine at different humidity levels from 50 % to 90 %. Notably, these sensors demonstrated promising selectivity towards triethylamine (with a response of 17.57) compared to various gas targets at room temperature.
