Atmospheric Corrosion Protection of LPBF Manufactured AlSi10Mg by Combining SiOx‐CVD and PDMS Grafting

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Hybrid SiOₓ‐CVD/PDMS ultrathin films mitigate atmospheric corrosion of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg. Electrochemical analyses show reduced corrosion currents, increased charge‐transfer resistance, and suppressed pitting due to diminished cathodic activity and limited oxygen and ion transport under NaCl exposure.

Water Droplet Hammer: Piezoelectric Sensing of Ultrafast Mechanical Transients During Droplet Impact

Small, EarlyView.
Droplet impact on solid surfaces produces an ultrafast substrate‐coupled mechanical response that is resolved by PVDF piezoelectric sensing. An initial impulsive strain pulse is followed by interfacial oscillations before rebound. Weber‐number and timescale analyses reveal how droplet inertia, surface wettability, impact regime, and liquid viscosity ...
