Is Young's Modulus a Critical Coating Property Determining Fouling‐Release Performance of Marine Coatings?

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The release of foulers from protective marine coatings is determined by several interrelated material properties, including the strength of Young's modulus, the flexibility of chain segments, the surface free energy, and the magnitude of hydrodynamic stress.

Trace Nickel Activated Biphasic Core‐CuOii/Shell‐CuOi Secondary Microspheres Enable Room Temperature Parts‐Per‐Trillion‐Level NO2 Detection

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An idea of designing novel sensors is proposed by creating appropriate Schottky barriers and vacancies between isomorphous Core‐CuOii/ Shell‐CuOi secondary microspheres and enhancing catalytic and spill‐over effects, and electronegativity via spontaneous biphasic separation, self‐assembly, and trace‐Ni‐doping.

Study on the nanofiltration membrane fouling control and cleaning efficiency of micro- and nanobubbles

Desalination and Water Treatment
To effectively prevent membrane fouling caused by inorganic scales, which block membrane pores during the nanofiltration process for direct drinking water treatment, the effects of micro/nanobubble introduction on membrane fouling control and membrane ...

An Inkjet‐Printed Platinum‐Based Temperature Sensing Element on Polyimide Substrates

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An inkjet‐printed, meander‐structured, nanoparticle platinum‐based resistive temperature sensors on polyimide substrates are demonstrated as proof‐of‐concept. Optimized sintering at 250°C enables stable conductive structures. The Pt100‐ and Pt1000‐type sensors exhibit linear resistance–temperature characteristics with stable TCR in the 20°C–80°C range,

Importance of understanding variable and transient energy demand in large multi-product industrial plants for process integration [PDF]

, 2011
There have been some news releases claiming that Professor Henle in Germany has found the chemical identity of UMF, and that in future chemical analysis will be used instead of assays of antibacterial activity to indicate the level of UMF in manuka honey.

Effects of Carbon Nanoparticles on Triboelectro‐Induced Surface Defects

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Carbon nanoparticles added to grease modify the electrocontact behavior. The synergy of particle concentration and electric current dominates the surface damage of metals in contact. Electrical surface damage caused by current leakage is a critical challenge in high‐performance applications such as electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains and wind turbine ...

Development and Field Testing of a Cavitation-Based Robotic Platform for Sustainable In-Water Hull Cleaning

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Biofouling on ship hulls significantly increases hydrodynamic drag, fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, while also facilitating the spread of invasive species in regional and global waters, thereby threatening marine biodiversity.
