Summary: The hydrogen embrittlement (HE) of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel was studied, with a focus on the influence of vanadium (V) and rare earth (RE) microalloying. The addition of 0.20(wt.%) V increased HE resistance by dispersing mechanical twins, while 0.022(wt.%) RE significantly reduced the affected range of HE and changed brittle fracture to a partially ductile fracture.

Summary: In this study, the microbe-induced corrosion (MIC) mechanism of an Fe-based amorphous coating in the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated. The results showed that P. aeruginosa reduced the corrosion resistance of the coating and formed a thick biofilm, leading to thinning of the underlying passive film. Based on these findings, a MIC mechanism based on the extracellular electron transfer effect was proposed, and a potential strategy to alleviate MIC was examined.

Summary: This study reports a mesoporous silica-based ternary flame retardant (NF@SiO2-D) for unsaturated polyester (UP) by loading nickel ferrite and dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) via hierarchical assembly. NF@SiO2-D acts as a fire extinguisher of UP through the combined effect of mesoporous silica, nickel ferrite, and DMMP. The UP matrix with NF@SiO2-D exhibited reduced heat release rates and smoke production, achieved a self-extinguishing ability, and demonstrated improved thermal stability and Tg compared to the control samples. The flame-retardant UP composites are expected to have more industrial applications.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.

Summary: In the study of BM-SCO and HSCO thin films, it was found that H vacancies tend to prefer sites near the external surface or oxygen vacancy channels (OVCs), while H interstitials prefer sites of oxygen on a layer that contains six-fold coordinated Co. These findings not only enrich the understanding of complex surface phenomena of defect formation but also provide an explanation for the reversibility during phase transformation.

Summary: This study explores the potential of biphenylene as a nanocarrier for the delivery of the anticancer drug cisplatin. It is found that biphenylene offers physical stability, rapid release rate, solubility, and bio-compatibilities compared to other nanocarriers. The adsorption of cisplatin on the surface of biphenylene involves charge transfer from cisplatin to biphenylene. The drug is shown to be released at body temperature in an acidic environment. Biphenylene also exhibits excellent cytotoxicity activity and cellular uptake of the drug. Overall, biphenylene shows promise as a potential nanocarrier for cisplatin delivery.

Summary: In this study, a potential platform to enhance Raman scattering and increase the number of observable Raman modes in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) was proposed. The platform consisted of large-scale arrays of gold micropillars (MPs), which were able to enhance the Raman intensity of TMDs and make difficult-to-detect Raman modes observable. The platform showed great industrial advantages and wide applicability due to its low cost, simple process, large controllable area, and short process time.
