To investigate the effect of the initial surface roughness on the performance at the initial stage of the current-carrying friction of an elastic friction pair, experiments were conducted using a self-made current-carrying friction and wear tester. The results indicate that under the experimental conditions, the lifespan of the friction pair decreases as the surface roughness and load decrease. When the surface roughness is Ra 0.2 μm and the load is 0.025 N, the lifespan is the longest, reaching 320 cycles, with an average contact resistance of 0.045 Ω and a standard deviation of 0.009 Ω. During the normal service period of the friction pair, the main wear mechanism is furrowing. As adhesion and tearing occur, the electrical contact performance begins to degrade. The impact of arc erosion on the wear surface is far greater than that of mechanical wear. This provides a reference for the design and manufacture of current-carrying friction pairs represented by connectors.

A new type of filler was added to epoxy resin to prepare a composite coating with excellent corrosion and weathering resistance. The simple synthesis process and nonpolluting raw materials of this filler contribute to the development of green chemistry. Specifically, lignin was encapsulated in mesoporous silica, the synergistic effect between the two resulted in the formation of lignin/mesoporous silica composite particles (MSN-L) with excellent ultraviolet (UV) resistance.

There is currently no cure or disease-modifying treatment for post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). This study aims to assess the efficacy of dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a US-FDA approved drug for multiple sclerosis, as a treatment for PTOA. PTOA was induced in male Lewis rats by medial meniscal transection (MMT) surgery, and DMF was intra-articularly administered once, one week following surgery.

Visceral leishmaniasis is a systemic disease that affects various internal organs and represents the most severe and fatal form of leishmaniasis. Conventional treatment presents significant challenges, such as prolonged management in hospital settings, high toxicity, and an increasing growing number of cases of resistance. In previous studies, our research group demonstrated the effective and selective activity of the 2-amino-thiophene derivative SB-83 in preclinical models of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
