Toughness of ceramic coatings is essential for engineering deploys of light alloys, especially
for the scenarios tackling with corrosion and wear. This work reports a toughened ZrO …

Excellent mechanical properties of nanomaterials are usually attributed to their nanoscale
feature size and high-density interfaces. This work explores the effects of intrinsic interface …

Advanced oxidation methods (AOPs) based on persulfate (PS) for the degradation of
organic pollutants in water have the advantages of mild conditions, green efficiency, and so …

Abstract The copper (Cu)/tantalum (Ta) nanofilms are the vital component in the through
silicon via (TSV) wafer. However, the current lack of research on the ultra-precision …

The phase growth is investigated during the interdiffusion of an ultra-fine grained Ni
(UFG)(grain size, d∼ 320 nm) and coarse-grained Sn diffusion couple in the temperature …

The non-wetting nature of copper (Cu) and graphene, coupled with the brittle behavior of
graphene, impedes the strength-toughness synergy in graphene-reinforced Cu matrix …

Nanoscale metallic multilayers (NMMs) are essential in micro/nanodevices because of their
superior physical and mechanical properties. Differing from tension and compression …

Based on the in-situ synthesis process, this study proposes a novel process that introduces
lithium salt-modified La 2 O 3p as a precursor into Mg–Li–Al–Zn (LAZ) alloy melt, achieving …

Grain size effect during interdiffusion is investigated by designing a sandwich couple of CG-
CoNi/Sn/UFG-CoNi;(CG coarse grained (> 200 µm), UFG: ultrafine grained (∼ 240 nm)) …

Strengthening of metallic materials has been a long-standing scientific issue. Recent
experiments have shown that the introducing of nanoscale amorphous interfacial layers is …
