In the present paper different external surface treatments published in the literature as
preventive solutions for improving the performance of existing concrete constructions are …

Various applications require surfaces with anti-fingerprint properties. This article reviews the
surface properties that govern the fingerprinting process. The achievement of surfaces free …

The relationships between the geometric features of material surfaces and topographically
related phenomena, such as wetting, change with the scale of observation. In these studies …

Polypropylene (PP) parts produced by means of extrusion-based additive manufacturing,
also known as fused filament fabrication, are prone to detaching from the build platform due …

The objective of this work is to investigate the relationship between wettability and surface
microgeometry of 6060 aluminum alloy created by electric discharge machining (EDM). The …

Microbial adhesion to intraoral biomaterials is associated with surface roughness. For the
prevention of oral pathologies, smooth surfaces with little biofilm formation are required …

Complex tribological phenomena, which take place at the interfaces of threaded fasteners,
cause that the torque value during tightening process is variable and submitted to various …

Surface texturing of metals and alloys has recently been identified as an environmentally
friendly alternative to the use of high-performance lubricants with complex formulations …

Reasonable texture intervals can effectively generate a local dynamic pressure effect and
promote the tribofilm formation. A friction experiment combined with simulation analysis is …

Scuffing evaluation is challenging due to the catastrophic nature of this failure mode. In this
paper, a new scuffing test method was designed for evaluating the scuffing capacity of fully …
