Summary: The study investigated the effect of different critical plasma spray parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of LMA coatings, finding that as the CPSP decreased, the porosity and residual compressive stress increased, while the bonding strength decreased. Additionally, the fracture toughness improved with decreasing CPSP.

Summary: A modified three-point bending technique was proposed to measure the interfacial toughness of thick plasma sprayed ceramic coatings. The test involved creating a pre-crack and measuring crack propagation along the interface using a pop-in load. Finite element analysis was used to calculate the interfacial toughness. The results were compared with the tensile adhesion test, and a correlation was proposed between the two methods.

Summary: Enabling surfaces with passive anti-icing properties is important for mitigating the harm caused by ice accretion. This study presents a robust icephobic coating with high toughness, strong adhesion, and self-healing capability. The coating exhibits low ice adhesion strength, sustains its icephobicity after severe mechanical loading, and maintains its performance in real complex environments.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of zinc borate (ZB) and nano silica (NS) on the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy nanocomposites and coatings. The addition of 5 wt % ZB to the epoxy resin resulted in a 50% increase in impact strength and an increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) from 52 to 71 degrees C. The combination of 5 wt % ZB and 1 wt % NS further enhanced the impact strength of the nanocomposites by 137.5% and increased Tg to 82 degrees C. The results demonstrate that ZB, NS, and hardener T31 improve the toughness and mechanical properties of epoxy materials.

Summary: Thermal barrier coatings with segmentation cracks (UP TBC) and dense vertically cracked coatings (DVC) with varying crack density and porosity were produced using air plasma spray technique. The mechanical properties of the coatings were evaluated and correlated with porosity. Higher porosity resulted in lower elastic modulus and fracture toughness for DVC TBCs. However, the UP TBCs exhibited higher fracture toughness due to the presence of unmelted particles.

Summary: Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has been widely used as a thermal barrier coating (TBC) material, but the search for new materials that can withstand higher temperatures continues. In this study, quasi-binary GdNbO4/Gd3NbO7 composites were synthesized based on the Gd2O3-Nb2O5 binary phase diagram, showing enhanced fracture toughness and balanced thermal conductivity properties.

Summary: The environmental benefits, renewability, and low cost of natural fiber-based hybrid composites have attracted significant interest. However, the hydrophilic behavior and high moisture absorption of natural fibers lead to poor bonding and reduced performance of the composites. This can be addressed by hybridizing natural fibers with inorganic fillers, such as nanoclay. Nanoclay improves the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites and reduces the impact of moisture. This review focuses on the use of kenaf and bamboo fibers, as well as the effect of different nanoclay on the properties of natural fiber-based hybrid composites.

Summary: The surface of CuO nanoparticles was modified with AMPTD and anchored on the surface of GO to achieve proper dispersion in the polymer matrix. TEM and SEM/EDX analysis confirmed the uniform dispersion of AMPTD-functionalized CuO nanoparticles and GO. The epoxy-GO/AMPTD-CuO nanocomposites showed improved mechanical and corrosion protective properties, making them suitable for use in cooling water systems.

Summary: Triaxial E-glass fabric/CNCs/epoxy composites were fabricated using the vacuum-assisted resin infusion procedure. The effects of mixing medium and CNC concentration on the mechanical properties of the composites were evaluated. Incorporation of CNCs enhanced the fracture toughness and energy absorption during fracture of the composites.

Summary: The dielectric constant of the matrix can be reduced by adding a small amount of POSS due to its unique cage skeleton structure and the air trapped in the caves. The compatibility between EPPOSS and BADCy as well as BA-a was enhanced through curing processing and copolymerizing. The addition of higher quantities of EPPOSS resulted in lower dielectric constants, improved storage modulus, and T(g)s, as well as increased toughness and thermal stability through increased crosslinking density and inorganic Si-O-Si framework.

Summary: Two TBC systems with different top coats (4YSZ and YSZ) were deposited onto a Ni-based single crystal superalloy using arc ion plating and air plasma spray techniques. The 4YSZ TBC exhibited superior thermal cycling resistance and higher toughness compared to conventional YSZ TBC. Cracks and spallation occurred at the interface of top coat and TGO layer in 4YSZ TBCs, while in YSZ TBCs, cracks initiated and propagated along the lamellar interface in the top coat.
