This reduces color intensity, limits productivity, and requires higher drying energy. This study compares standard-viscosity graphic inkjet inks (~13 mPa.s shear viscosity) with higher-viscosity inkjet inks (~60 mPa.s), traditionally considered outside the normal jetting range, for print outcomes on corrugated cardboard with both white coated and brown uncoated liners. Higher-viscosity inks imparted greater color density to the print; this was assessed as being due to both the inherently higher viscosity of the ink reducing penetration into the substrate and the higher pigment loading capable of being contained within these inks. While standard-viscosity inks tended to plateau in color intensity as ink coverage was increased, higher-viscosity inks could increase in intensity throughout the entire coverage range on coated white liner. This effect was dependent on the substrate, with the coated white liner exhibiting up to a 67% increase in maximum color density but the uncoated brown liner showing up to a 13% increase. It is envisaged that wider adoption of higher-viscosity inks can increase both color intensity and printing speed, thus making inkjet more competitive with conventional printing processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":619,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coatings Technology and Research","volume":"22 2","pages":"715 - 726"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11998-024-01001-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal that the biochar loading position significantly influences the physicochemical properties of the fertilizer. Specifically, biochar incorporated on the outermost layer of the film (BPU-O) exhibits a dense coating with rough surface morphology and high hydrophobicity, thereby demonstrating optimal-controlled release performance.

The exceptional-controlled release performance of BPU-O can be attributed to the oxygen-containing functional groups on cotton stalk biochar. These functional groups, particularly hydroxyl groups, react with residual isocyanates on the polyurethane surface, enhancing compactness and hydrophobicity through grafting and filling effects, thereby, effectively inhibiting water ingress into the core of the fertilizer.

Nevertheless, the practical applications of Mg alloys are significantly limited due to their restricted corrosion resistance, despite their numerous desirable properties including low density, high specific strength, and excellent biocompatibility. Applying a protective coating to the surface can effectively inhibit corrosion. In order to create slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS), it is necessary to have suitable porous micro/nanostructures and infuse liquid lubricant using surface treatment. The coatings on Mg alloys must significantly enhance the properties such as hardness, adhesion, wear and scratch resistance, elastic modulus, tensile and fatigue strength, impact resistance, and friction coefficient, while providing superior corrosion resistance. This method has been shown to effectively resist corrosion in Mg alloys.
