Short duration (∼1 s) PEO treatments have been applied to aluminium alloy samples on which coatings of thickness ∼100 μm had previously created. This was done using the small area electrical monitoring system developed in Gordon Laboratory Cambridge. Voltage supply frequencies 50 Hz and 2.5 kHz were employed. Fairly high resolution SEM micrographs taken, covering whole surface (ie over a circular diameter about 0.9 mm). both before after 1 s treatments. X-ray tomographic data also obtained...

A Gd,Y rare-earth containing magnesium alloy (content in weight %, 10 Gd, 3 Y, 0.4 Zr and Mg as balance) is PEO processed for three different metallurgical states: (i) as-extruded, (ii) T4 solution (2 h at 500 °C) (iii) T6 peak-aged precipitation °C followed by 14 225 °C). The thickest coating combined with the lowest porosity achieved softest solid treated substrate resulting development of a harder oxide coating. presence Mg(GdY)-like precipitates precipitating condition correlated...
Synthetic organic and inorganic carriers often have limitations associated with problematic targeting ability or non-optimized pharmacokinetics, and, therefore, they restricted therapeutic potential. Natural drug (e.g. mesenchymal stem cells, MSCs) are able to migrate towards the tumor site penetrate cancerous cells. These biomimetic features make MSCs an attractive delivery platform that allows achieving maximal efficiency minimal toxic side effects. A combination of exhibiting a homing...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been recently explored as crystalline solids for conversion into amorphous phases demonstrating non-specific mechanical, catalytic, and optical properties. The real-time control of such structural transformations their outcomes still remain a challenge. Here, we use in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy with 0.01 s time resolution to explore non-thermal (electron induced) amorphization MOF single crystal, followed by transformation an...
Controlling microdischarges in plasma electrolytic oxidation is of great importance order to optimize coating quality. The present study highlights the relationship between polarity at which breakdown occurs and electrolyte pH as compared with isoelectric point (IEP). It found that working a higher than IEP grown oxide prevents buildup detrimental cathodic discharges. addition phosphates results shift lower value therefore promotes anodic discharges expense ones.
