Summary: This article investigates rose-petal-like superhydrophobic surfaces with strong water adhesion. By assembling self-grown micropillars on shape-memory polymer sheets, the surface adhesion can be finely tuned. The contact angle and adhesive force of water droplets can be adjusted by controlling the height, diameter, bending angle, and chemical treatment of the micropillar-textured surfaces. Various droplet handling devices were fabricated from these surfaces, enabling lossless liquid transfer among different surfaces. These superhydrophobic surfaces have great potential in microfluidics, biomedical detection, chemical engineering, and lossless droplet transfer.

Summary: The strength and toughness of ferrum-1.2manganese-1.4nickel steel plates in the DQT and DQQT processes were investigated. It was found that the DQT process resulted in flat prior austenite grains and nano-scaled precipitates, while the DQQT process led to growth of grains and precipitates and a decrease in dislocation density. Furthermore, the DQT process exhibited higher yield strength compared to the DQQT process, but the DQQT process showed superior impact energy.

Summary: Temperature-, excitation wavelength-, and excitation power-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy was used to investigate the orientation-dependent emissions of ZnO single crystals. The results showed that ZnO crystals with < 0001 > orientation exhibited strong and sharp emission intensity with suppressed deep level defects, indicating better crystallinity. At low temperature, neutral donor-to-bound exciton transition dominated, while free-exciton transition emerged at higher temperatures in all orientations. The intensity dependence on excitation power followed a power-law, with different power-law exponents for different orientations. The comprehensive analysis suggested that < 0001 > orientation had intense excitonic emission in the near band edge region, making it favorable for fabricating highly efficient optoelectronic devices.

Summary: This paper proposes a method based on the aging intensity function (AIF) to build life distribution models for key components of a product. The method utilizes a semi-parametric approach to estimate the empirical AIF and obtain point and interval estimates of the shape parameter, and then uses a single parameter maximum likelihood method to estimate the scale parameter. The results from two examples with six datasets demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed method in terms of simplicity, generality, accuracy, and unbiasedness.

Summary: In this study, the effect of laser pulse width on the surface morphology and corrosion resistance of LPBF-ed 316L stainless steel samples after laser polishing was investigated. The experimental results show that continuous wave (CW) laser polishing results in significant improvement in roughness and the best corrosion resistance. Nanosecond (NS) laser polishing leads to microcracks and decreased microhardness and corrosion resistance. Femtosecond (FS) laser polishing does not significantly improve roughness and results in decreased corrosion resistance due to ultrafast laser-induced micro-nanostructures increasing the contact area of the electrochemical reaction.

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.
