Metal and polymer interface bonding significantly influences the mechanical performance of fiber metal laminates (FMLs). Therefore, the effect of surface treatments (mechanical abrasion, nitric acid etching, P2 etching, sulfuric acid anodizing (SAA), and electric discharge machine (EDM) texturing) carried on aluminum 2024-T3 alloy sheets was evaluated considering surface morphology, surface topography, and surface roughness. Further, the influence of surface treatments on interfacial adhesion strength and failure mode between the aluminum alloy and carbon fiber prepreg was investigated. The surface treatments increased the surface roughness of the aluminum substrates. Surfaces treated using SAA, nitric acid, and P2 etchant showed improved wettability, while mechanically abraded and EDM textured substrates showcased hydrophobic behavior. The selected surface treatments significantly affected interfacial adhesion between the epoxy polymer and aluminum alloy. SAA and EDM texturing greatly enhanced the interfacial peel strength of FMLs. In the case of interfacial shear strength, EDM textured substrate showed superior performance, followed by SAA. Moreover, untreated and mechanically abraded specimens exhibited weaker bonding and adhesive failure at the aluminum-epoxy interface, whilst chemical treatments resulted in mixed model failure. EDM textured surface underwent cohesive failure, while a dominant mixed mode failure and fiber adhesion were observed in the SAA-treated specimen.

Objective: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of metal brackets to glazed lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramics and zirconia according to various surface treatment protocols.

Methods: A total of 240 lithium disilicate ceramic (LD) and 240 zirconia (Zr) blocks were randomly divided according to sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching, universal primer use, and the adhesive system applied. A maxillary canine metal bracket was bonded to each sample with resin cement (Transbond XT, TXT).

This work developed a novel oxidized hierarchical porous carbon (OHPC) with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls via a method of air oxidation and used as an efficient adsorbent for Congo red (CR) and Malachite green (MG) removal. Results show that the OHPC2 oxidized at 400 °C possesses three-dimensional hierarchical pores with vesicule-like ultrathin graphitic walls. The prepared OHPC2 not only has a large specific surface area of 1020 m g with a high pore volume, but also has abundant oxygen-containing functional groups.

To develop an efficient and cost-effective adsorbent for phosphate removal from water bodies, this study utilized natural red clay (RC) as a carrier. The modified red clay (MRC) was prepared through three methods: acid modification, high-temperature calcination, and metal loading. The preparation conditions were optimized, and the adsorption effects on phosphate were compared across these different modifications.

Cyanobacterial blooms are prevalent globally and present a significant threat to water security. Titanium salt coagulants have garnered considerable attention due to their superior coagulation properties and the absence of metal residue risks. This paper explored the influencing factors in the coagulation process of titanium xerogel coagulant (TXC), the alterations in cell activity during floc storage, and the release of cyanobacterial organic matters, thereby determining the application scope of TXC for cyanobacterial water treatment.
