Summary: A sandwich-like structured nanocoating system was developed in this study to provide natural polymer fabrics with flame retardancy and wash durability through various interactions. The concentration of bPEI in the coating system affects the wash durability of the fabrics, with higher concentrations leading to better wash durability but also potentially sacrificing flame retardant performance. The systematic evaluations post washing demonstrate that the coating system can maintain a balance between wash durability and flame retardancy.

Summary: In this study, we developed a hybrid coating (TSNP) that provides excellent flame retardancy and hydrophobicity to cotton fabrics. The modified cotton fabrics with TSNP can quickly extinguish flames in vertical combustion experiments and have lower heat release. TSNP also enhances the hydrophobicity of the fabric and forms a dense carbon layer, creating a barrier effect against heat and combustible gases.

Summary: Cavitation erosion and erosion-corrosion are common failure modes of hydronautics components due to mechanical destruction and electrochemical corrosion. The aim of this study is to develop a coating system to replace chromate-conversion coatings on aluminium alloy by combining an anodised layer with superhydrophobic sol-gel coatings. The characteristics affecting the coating's corrosion and cavitation erosion resistance were evaluated, including adhesion, thickness, hardness, and elastic modulus. The electrochemical behavior of the coatings was assessed, and their performance was tested under salt spray and cavitation erosion conditions. SEM/EDX analysis was conducted to evaluate surface damage caused by erosion-corrosion and cavitation erosion. The results aimed to determine if the developed coatings were a better alternative for protecting metals.

Summary: A nanograin (Gd2Hf2O7) ceramic was prepared as a potential matrix material for high-level radioactive waste (HLW) using sol-gel and cold-pressing sintering methods. The sintered powder of the ceramic showed a transition from defective fluorite to a pyrochlore structure with increasing sintering temperature. Increasing pressing pressure resulted in higher density and lower open porosity of the samples. The optimized GHO sample exhibited good aqueous durability and can be considered as an alternative candidate for HLW curing matrix material with enhanced environmental stability.

Summary: This study investigated the dispersion mechanism of polycarboxylic acid dispersants for disperse dyes using molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate that the hydrophilicity of the dispersant depends on the maleic acid residues, while the hydrophobicity of the styrene residues drives the adsorption of dispersants onto dye surfaces. The presence of branched chains plays a crucial role in the binding of dispersants to dye crystals. When designing dispersants for disperse dyes, it is important to consider both the improvement of hydrophilicity and charge repulsion for maintaining dispersion stability in water, as well as the binding force between dispersants and disperse dyes.

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.
