Herein, we studied the increasing tendency of photoacoustic (PA) conversion efficiency of the Au/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite. The thickness of the Au layer was optimized by modeling the PA process based on the Drude-Lorentz model and finite element analysis method, and corresponding results were verified. The results showed that the optimal Au thickness of the Au/PDMS composite was 35 nm. Finally, the Au/PDMS composites were coated onto the surface of aluminum alloys, which improved the thermoelastic laser ultrasonic (LU) signals to near 100 times. Besides, the defect mapping was performed by thermoelastic LU signals with Au/PDMS coating and ablation LU signals without coating; the Pearson correlation coefficient was higher than 0.95. The application in the defect detection in metal could provide guides for nondestructive detection on metals by laser ultrasound.

This paper explores the enhancement of cavitation and corrosion resistance in cast stainless steel through laser beam surface remelting. The influence of laser treatment on material properties was assessed by analyzing the microstructure using optical microscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Cavitation erosion was evaluated in tap water using an ultrasonic vibration setup, following ASTM G32-2016 standards.

Recently, Organ-on-a-Chip (OoC) platforms have arisen as an increasingly relevant experimental tool for successfully replicating human physiology and disease. However, there is a lack of a standard technology to monitor the OoC parameters, especially in a non-invasive and label-free way. Photoacoustic (PA) systems can be considered an alternative and accurate assessment method for OoC platforms.

This study aimed to develop ultrasonically-assisted, alcohol-free, and noncorrosive aqueous zein/turmeric essential oil (TEO)-loaded nanoemulsions (NEs) to stimulate pullulan/carboxymethyl chitosan (P/CMCS)-based edible films for mango fruit preservation. The influence of innovative sonicated zein/TEO-based NEs (ZTNEs) as nanofillers on the physico-mechanical characteristics of the resulting P/CMCS edible films was investigated. A stable and well-dispersed ZTNE was achieved using 20 % zein with 10 min of ultrasound treatment, leading to a reduced droplet size (194.

The thickness loss caused by corrosion is a vital factor that threatens the health of shell structures. It is significant to perform a non-destructive quantitative evaluation of corrosion-thinning defects in plate structures. Based on the laser ultrasonic guided wavefield scanning technology, this paper proposes an instantaneous wavenumber multi-shot fusion method, which improves the performance of the instantaneous wavenumber imaging method.

Reusing healing abutments is common practice among clinicians; however, ensuring complete surface decontamination is crucial to avoid further complications. This study aimed to evaluate the cleaning potential of Er: YAG laser at different frequencies, as an adjunctive step prior to autoclave sterilization. Forty contaminated healing abutments were divided into four groups.
