Molecular dynamics study on the interaction of phosphorus building gypsum /surfactant composites.

While surfactants are widely used in phosphogypsum, their interactions with the phosphogypsum-water interface remain unclear. This study investigates the impact of three types of surfactants, namely polycarboxylate-based surfactant (PCE-TPEG), naphthalene-based surfactant (NS), and melamine-based surfactant (MS), on the performance of phosphorus building gypsum (PBG). Additionally, a nanoscale model of the PBG-surfactant-water interface is constructed using molecular dynamics to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the interaction between different surfactants and PBG at multiple scales.

Investigations on Oxidation Behavior of Free-Standing CoNiCrAlYHf Coating with Different Surface Roughness at 1050 °C.

MCrAlYHf bond coats are employed in jet and aircraft engines, stationary gas turbines, and power plants, which require strong resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. This study investigated the oxidation behavior of a free-standing CoNiCrAlYHf coating with varying surface roughness. The surface roughness was analyzed using a contact profilometer and SEM.
