This article reviews the present state of research on metal–zirconia interfaces. Interfaces
play a crucial role in establishing the macroscopic properties and performance of zirconia …

Oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) has developed progressively in the last two
decades as a solvent-free (or dry) methodology for synthesis and thin film deposition of …

Grain boundaries are important structural components of polycrystalline materials used in
the vast majority of technical applications. Because grain boundaries form a continuous …

A cohesive surface theory of fracture is a phenomenological continuum framework that is
closely related to classical fracture mechanics. As such it shares the advantages and …

The repetitive size change of the electrode over cycles, termed as mechanical breathing, is a
crucial issue limiting the quality and lifetime of organic electrochromic devices. The …

A new phase field model considering the interfacial damage for different configurations of a
fiber reinforced composite is proposed and formulated. Crack and non local interface are …

Self-assembled molecular nanolayers (MNLs) composed of short organic chains and
terminated with desired functional groups are attractive for modifying surface properties for a …

The study of interfacial properties, especially of their change upon lithiation, is a
fundamentally significant and challenging topic in designing heterogeneous nanostructured …

Quantitative analysis of the interfacial adhesion energy of Cu-Cu thermocompression bonds
was performed using the four-point bending method with various wet pretreatment …

This work presents a survey of computational methods for adhesive contact focusing on
general continuum mechanical models for attractive interactions between solids that are …
