Biodegradable and bioactiveβ- tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) coatings were prepared on and the biodegradation mechanism was simply evaluated the porous Mg to further improve its biocompatibility, in vitro. It was found that the mechanical properties of this type of porous Mg significantly depended on its porosity. Elastic modulus and compressive strength similar to human bones could be obtained for the porous Mg with porosity of 42.6%-51%. It was observed that the human osteosarcoma cells (UMR106) were well adhered and proliferated on the surface of the β- TCP coated porous Mg, which indicates that theβ-TCP coated porous Mg is promising to be a bone tissue engineering scaffold material.展开更多

Suitable structure and size distribution of pigments would attain maximum diffuse infrared radiation and reduce the pigment volume concentration required. The optimum structure and size range of pigments for reflective infrared coatings are studied by using Kubelka-Munk theory, Mie model and independent scattering approximation. Taking titania particle as the pigment embedded in an inorganic coating, the computational results show that core-shell particles present excellent scattering ability, more so than solid and hollow spherical particles. The optimum radius range of core-shell particles is around 0.3 - 1.6 μm. ~rthermore, the influence of shell thickness on optical parameters of the coating is also obvious and the optimal thickness of shell is 100-300 nm.展开更多

The experimental results show that after coating repair treatment, the substrate/coating interface keeps well, and the combination of coating and substrate is very good, as well as very slight mutual diffusion of alloying elements between substrate and coating occurred. Although coating repair treatment make diffusion time double, only a little amount of Mo diffused into coating, and the elements Cr and Co of NiCoCrAlYHf coating only exist in a thin layer of influence region of the substrate, which has no obvious effect on the microstructure of alloy IC6. Tensile tests at room temperature and stress rupture tests under 1?100?℃, 90?MPa of the coating repaired sample were conducted. The results show that the coating repair has no evident effect on mechanical properties. Therefore, it may be considered that when the coating is unexpectedly destroyed, it can be repaired.展开更多

It plays an important role in the actual processing, such as improving the surface properties, fine processing, and new surface properties. Analysis of the influence of substrating morphology and fluid flow properties itself on coating fluid motion has an important significance to optimize the thin film coating and improve the quality of the final film. The influence from uneven substrate surface’s geometry configuration on internal motion of the flow field in slip-coating is analyzed by using the FLUENT software as a calculation platform. A two-dimension model of slip coating under isosceles triangle and isosceles trapezoid substrate was established, and thin film coating fluid motions under different configuration parameters were simulated. It is pointed out that the key factor determining the turbulence generation and evolution is the parameter of substrating surface nature. The effects of the change of Reynolds number on turbulent appearance and action area are studied. The velocity contours of fluid field on different substrate surfaces are shown, and the impact of substrate geometry on the backwater region is analyzed.展开更多
