Stringent applications of HfB 2 and ZrB 2 based ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs)
for hypersonic and re-entry space vehicles necessitate their joining with ceramics or metallic …

Introducing actives into brazing alloys is a common way to improve their wettability. Typical
interfacial behaviors of added actives involve adsorbing at the liquid/solid interface and …

Based on density functional theory, this paper uses first-principles methods to study the
stability, electronic properties, anisotropy, thermodynamic properties, and optical properties …

First-principles calculations were used to determine the formation energy, work of adhesion,
and electronic structure of the interface of Ag-doped (Cu, Sn, and Ti)/WC, revealing the effect …

Reactive air brazing of Si 3 N 4 ceramic was successfully achieved by using Ag-CuO filler
metal. The effects of CuO content on the wettability of Ag-CuO/Si 3 N 4 system and the shear …

Herein, we prepared three-dimensional artificial blood vessels (ABV) from electrospun
pristine Poly (Ethylene-glycol-co-1, 4-Cyclohexane di-methylene-co-isosorbide …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been widely used to investigate the thermodynamic
and structural properties of liquid lithium (Li) and solid substrates as the concept of liquid …

Abstract Application of SiC reinforced Cu-based composites has been greatly limited by the
weak interfacial bonding strength between SiC and Cu matrix. In this work, the active …

The wetting behavior and mechanism of AgCu-Xwt.% Ti filler metal on AlN ceramic were
investigated using experiments and first-principles calculations. The results indicate that the …

The adhesion at the Ti 3 Al/Al 2 O 3 internal interface is estimated in dependence on
interfacial layer composition and contact configuration using ab initio method. The influence …
