Different electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials have been developed over time. In the past electromagnetic (EM) shielding technology made use of metals and their composites because of good shielding effectiveness but their low elasticity high density and corrosion tendency render them obsolete. Ceramic-based composites have also gained popularity for EMI shielding applications because of their l Read More

Over the last few years, research on catechol-containing polymers has focused mainly on making mussel-inspired catechol-containing polymers and examining their adhesion ability onto various substrata under dry and wet conditions. Indeed, a surge of dopamine-bearing vinylic monomers such as dopamine acrylates and their protected ones have been homopolymerized or copolymerized with fittingly chosen comonomers Read More

Background: Polysaccharides are a type of natural macromolecular polymer that can be found in plants, animals, fungi, algae, and marine organisms. Its activities have piqued the interest of researchers. The internal structure, as well as their chemical and physical properties, dictate how they work. Polysaccharide functionalities are progressively being chemically changed. Using this approach, polysaccharides' structu Read More

Background: Laser additive manufacturing has been used for surface repair and remanufacturing due to fast laser processing speed, high energy density, and dense microstructure. However, the properties of coating samples produced by laser additive manufacturing of ironbased alloys vary considerably, resulting in a large amount of data that needs to be accumulated and analyzed. Methods: The coating properties of iron-b Read More
