The use of natural essential oils as antimicrobial solutions in paper packaging. Part II

We have assessed the antimicrobial, vapor-phase activity of the following natural essential oils (EOs) when used in paraffin-based “active coatings” for paper packaging materials intended to come into contact with foods: clove (Sygzium aromaticum), cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), and oregano (Origanum vulgare) EOs, and cinnamaldehyde-enriched cinnamon EO. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such an approach has been presented for consideration by the scientific community.     

Thermal analysis of a ceramic coating diesel engine piston using 3-D finite element method

In this study, firstly, thermal analyses are investigated on a conventional (uncoated) diesel piston, made of aluminum silicon alloy and steel. Secondly, thermal analyses are performed on pistons, coated with MgO-ZrO₂ material by means of using a commercial code, namely ANSYS. Finally, the results of four different pistons are compared with each other. The effects of coatings on the thermal behaviors of the pistons are investigated. It has been shown that the maximum surface temperature of the coated piston with material which has low thermal conductivity is improved approximately 48% for the AlSi alloy and 35% for the steel.     

Corrosion Behavior of a Sputtered K38G Nanocrystalline Coating with a Solid NaCl Deposit in Wet Oxygen at 600 to 700°C

A nanocrystalline coating of K38G alloy was obtained by means of magnetron sputtering. The corrosion behavior of cast K38G alloy and its sputtered nanocrystalline coating with a solid NaCl deposit in dry air or wet oxygen at 600 and 700°C have been studied and compared. The results indicated that the mass gain of the coating is higher than that of the cast alloy at 600 and 700°C. Therefore, nanocrystallization reduced the corrosion resistance at these temperatures. Furthermore, the mass gains of the coating and the cast alloy with a NaCl deposit in wet oxygen were less than that with a NaCl deposit in dry air. The relevant corrosion mechanisms are discussed.     

Oxidation behavior of silicide coating on Ti3SiC2-based ceramic

A silicide coating was prepared on Ti₃SiC₂-based ceramic by pack cementation to improve the oxidation resistance of Ti₃SiC₂, which is a technologically important material for high temperature applications. The microstructure, phase composition and oxidation resistance of the coated sample were investigated. The results demonstrated that the silicide coating was mainly composed of TiSi₂ and SiC. A single layer of a mixture of SiO₂ and TiO₂ was formed on the surface of the coated sample during isothermal oxidation at 1100 °C and 1200 °C for 20h. Compared to Ti₃SiC₂, the parabolic rate constant of silicide coated Ti₃SiC₂ decreased by 2~3 orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the coated sample showed much better cyclic oxidation resistance than Ti₃SiC₂ during the cyclic oxidation at 1100 °C for 400 times. However, during the preparation of the coating, a number of fine cracks formed in the outer layer of the coating. When these cracks penetrated the whole coating during the cyclic oxidation, the oxidation rate was accelerated, which degraded the oxidation resistance. Electronic Publication

A study on microstructure and properties of calcium phosphate coatings processed using ion beam assisted deposition on heated substrates

In this study a set of thin Hydroxyapatite (HA) [Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂] coatings was deposited on heated silicon and titanium substrates using Ion Beam Assisted Deposition (IBAD). The effects of substrate temperature and processing parameters on the microstructural properties and composition of the coatings are being studied. Analytical techniques include transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The current results indicate that as substrate temperature increases the Ca/P ratio of the coatings both on titanium and silicon substrates increases. The crystallinity of the coatings and the number of calcium phosphate compounds within the coating including HA also increases. STEM-EDS revealed an atomically diffused intermediate layer at the interface between the coating and substrate. XRD results along with TEM selected area diffraction (SAD) revealed that the coatings are composed of HA, other calcium phosphate, and calcium oxide compounds.

Effect of Thickness on the Structure and Tribological Properties of MoSx Coating

MoSx coatings were prepared by bipolar-pulse DC unbalanced magnetron-sputtering system with the variation of coating thickness at different Ar pressures.The composition and surface morphology were determined by using energy dispersive X-ray and scanning electron microscopy;the structural characterization was analyzed by X-ray diffraction.The friction and wear properties were investigated by fretting tests in air with less than 10% and 50% relative humidity.At 0.40 Pa pressure,(002) basal plane orientation was formed throughout the coatings.At 0.88 Pa and 1.60 Pa pressures,(002) basal plane orientation was only noticed in the first stage of coating growth(around 0.20 μm in thickness), and then edge orientations with their basal planes perpendicular to the surface would be evolved in the coatings.Humidity has a minor influence on the coatings that have(002) basal plane orientation,whereas the tribological properties of MoSx coatings with edge orientations are greatly affected by humidity.The mechanisms of coating growth and friction and wear processes are discussed.
