In this paper, the tribological properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites filled with Nano-ZrO and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) particles were tested for sliding friction against a counterpart metal (ASTM 1045 steel) using a linear reciprocating friction and wear experimental machine. Data on tribological performance and optical images of the transfer film were obtained at various friction stages for the material. MATLAB software was employed to develop quantitative analysis procedures for the morphological characteristics of the transfer film. The program enables image enhancement and morphological processing of transfer film images, then identifies, extracts, and quantifies the geometric and textural properties of the transfer film as a foundation for analyzing the variation of the characteristics and their relationship to the tribological properties of the material. The results demonstrated that the geometric, morphological, and textural characteristics of the transfer film were dynamically developing during the friction process, with noticeable differences between various friction stages and a significant impact on the tribological properties of the material. Quantitative analysis revealed a good correlation between the trends of some morphological and textural characteristics (the coverage, area, diameter, roundness, consistency, and texture entropy) of the transfer film and the wear resistance of the PTFE composite. Therefore, these morphological and textural characteristics can thus be used to quantify the transfer film quality and utilized as an indirect indicator of the tribological properties of the material.

To avoid wear and tear of the slip ring due to electrical corrosion, the slip ring needs to undergo the running-in process under atmospheric conditions without current after assembly. To address the urgent demand for long-service capability space conductive slip rings in the aerospace field, the running-in behavior and failure mechanism between the AgCuNi alloy and Au-electroplated layer are investigated using a ball-on-disc tribometer in this paper. The results show that the transfer film composed of Au plays an important role in modifying the friction during the sliding process.

With the development of diamond technology, its application in the field of electronics has become a new research hotspot. Hydrogen-terminated diamond has the electrical properties of P-type conduction due to the formation of two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) on its surface. However, due to various scattering mechanisms on the surface, its carrier mobility is limited to 50-200 cm/(Vs).

Paper-based packaging materials have gained attention from academia and industry for their outstanding environmental sustainability advantages. However, they still encounter major challenges, such as low mechanical strength and inadequate functionality, hindering the replacement of unsustainable packaging materials. Inspired by the remarkable strength of trees provided by cellulose fibers and the water and heat protection of trees provided by bark, this study developed a new biomass-based packaging material (SNC-C) that combines strength, thermal insulation, and water resistance.

The development of probes for the efficient detection of volatile organic compounds is crucial for both human health protection and environmental monitoring. In this study, we successfully synthesized a ratiometric fluorescent sensing material [Eu-UiO-67 (1:1)], featuring dual-emission fluorescence peaks via a one-pot method. This material demonstrated exceptional ratiometric fluorescence recognition properties for liquid styrene and isoprene, achieving low limit of detections (LODs) of 6.

This paper presents the results of a study on the formation of nanostructures of electrochemical titanium oxide for neuromorphic applications. Three anodization synthesis techniques were considered to allow the formation of structures with different sizes and productivity: nanodot, lateral, and imprint. The mathematical model allowed us to calculate the processes of oxygen ion transfer to the reaction zone; the growth of the nanostructure due to the oxidation of the titanium film; and the formation of TiO, TiO, and TiO oxides in the volume of the growing nanostructure and the redistribution of oxygen vacancies and conduction channel.
