A functionally graded composite NiAl-AlMg6 was prepared using the pressure of gaseous reaction products (impurity gases) produced during the synthesis of reactive powders in a sealed reactor. It has been shown that this method can be used to prepare a NiAl/AlMg6 composite with both chaotically oriented pores in the NiAl layer and unidirectionally oriented pores (lotus-type pores). The pore shape in NiAl was found to be dependent on the pressure of the impurity gases and hydrogen present in the starting titanium powder. A mechanism for pore formation in NiAl and AlMg6 composite during SHS is proposed. Thus, functionally graded high-temperature composites can be produced by SHS in a sealed reactor using the chemical reaction energy and the pressure of impurity gases and hydrogen. Additionally, minimizing the influence of impurity gases on the contact zone increases the interface area between NiAl and AlMg6.

Nonthermal plasma has been extensively utilized in various biomedical fields, including surface engineering of medical implants to enhance their biocompatibility and osseointegration. To ensure robustness and cost effectiveness for commercial viability, stable and effective plasma is required, which can be achieved by reducing gas pressure in a controlled volume. Here, we explored the impact of reduced gas pressure on plasma properties, surface characteristics of plasma-treated implants, and subsequent biological outcomes.

This paper presents the results of a study on the characteristics of semiconductor sensors based on thin SnO films modified with antimony, dysprosium, and silver impurities and dispersed double Pt/Pd catalysts deposited on the surface to detect carbon monoxide (CO). An original technology was developed, and ceramic targets were made from powders of Sn-Sb-O, Sn-Sb-Dy-O, and Sn-Sb-Dy-Ag-O systems synthesized by the sol-gel method. Films of complex composition were obtained by RF magnetron sputtering of the corresponding targets, followed by technological annealing at various temperatures.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) exhibits mechanical, optoelectronic, and conductive properties comparable to pristine graphene, which has led to its widespread use as a method for producing graphene-like materials in bulk. This paper reviews the characteristics of graphene oxide and the evolution of traditional reduction methods, including chemical and thermal techniques. A comparative analysis reveals that these traditional methods encounter challenges, such as toxicity and high energy consumption, while plasma reduction offers advantages like enhanced controllability, the elimination of additional reducing agents, and reduced costs.

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO) emissions has become increasingly urgent for China, particularly in the industrial sector. Striking a balance between a high CO adsorption capacity and long-term stability under practical conditions is crucial for effectively capturing CO from flue gas. In this study, a series of functionalized MFM-136 adsorbents were synthesized in which -NO and -NH groups were grafted onto the kagome lattice of MFM-136.
