Summary: The effects of co-addition of Zn and Si on the precipitation behaviors and thermal stability of Al-3.5Mg-1.0Cu alloys were investigated. The results show that the addition of Zn enhances the age-hardening response due to the formation of T-Mg32(Al, Zn)49 phase, and the addition of Si further increases the peak hardness by refining the size of cube-like T phase. Most of the cube-like T phases exhibit excellent thermal stability when aging at 175 degrees C, while some T phases with low Cu content undergo serious coarsening and transform into lath-like shape. The addition of Si also enhances the thermal stability by narrowing the size distribution of precipitates. Two-step aging treatment leads to higher peak hardness but deteriorative thermal stability.

Summary: The addition of nanoparticles can significantly improve the electrical properties of vegetable oil. Magnetic nanoparticles have a pronounced modification effect on vegetable insulating oil, while the modification effect of nonmagnetic nanoparticles is mild. Nano-Fe3O4 has a superior modification effect compared to nano-TiO2 and nano-Al2O3. These results provide experimental and theoretical support for improving the long-term stability of vegetable insulating oil.

Summary: Si content in ACMZ alloys plays a crucial role in high temperature microstructural stability, with an optimal range of Si content improving aging response and thermal stability. The study utilized hardness testing, SEM, and APT to investigate the relationship between Si content and aging effects in ACMZ alloys. An optimal Si level reduces the density of nucleation sites for precipitates, leading to larger, more stable precipitates that enhance thermal stability.

Summary: Long-term thermal exposure leads to irreversible dimensional changes in materials, affecting the reliability of precision instruments. The dimensional stability mechanism of Al matrix composites (AMCs) under long-term thermal exposure remains unknown. This study used high-precision thermal dilatometer, in-situ heating XRD and TEM methods to reveal the mechanism of internal stress on dimensional stability in SiC/Al composites. The results showed that the difference in dimensional change between quenched and annealed composites originated from the accumulated internal stress in the matrix at the beginning of thermal exposure.

Summary: This paper focuses on the global ageing behavior of a specialized polypropylene material with tailor-made structure, morphology, and stabilization package, with specific emphasis on the long-term performance in welding zones. A novel testing approach using micro-sized specimens was used to evaluate the impact of different welding temperatures on the material's ageing indicators, including stabilizer degradation and polymer degradation. The results showed that the rate of stabilizer degradation was comparable for welded and unwelded specimens, and the investigated temperatures had no significant effect on stabilizer depletion or polymer degradation. The long-term performance and embrittlement time of the material were not affected by welding.

Summary: The morphology and phase composition of combustion products of Al nanopowder mixed with diamagnetic TiO2 and ZrO2 in air were investigated. The use of non-uniform magnetic field during combustion of oxide-metal powdery mixtures resulted in the stabilization of TiN and ZrN in the final products. The combustion of Al-TiO2 mixture formed two-level whiskers of AlN, while the combustion of Al-ZrO2 mixture resulted in agglomerated structures covering the large particles of ZrN. During combustion of oxide-metal mixtures in non-uniform magnetic field, diamagnetic metal dioxides were reduced to metals or their suboxides and reacted with atmospheric nitrogen.

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.
