“…Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), also known as micro-arc oxidation (MAO), functionalizes surfaces, improving the mechanical, thermal, and corrosion performance of metallic substrates, along with other tailored properties (e.g., biocompatibility, catalysis, antibacterial response, self-lubrication, etc.). …”

“…This Special Issue of Metals focusing on titanium contains a range of articles based on research into this fascinating material and its wide range of alloys. …”

“…The research results of the modeling of various nanosystems are presented: soft supramolecular nanostructures, nanosized beams of single-crystal Cu, metallic nanosized crystals, drug delivery systems, and systems stabilized by hydrogen bonds. …”

“…It produces bulk, nano- and mesostructured sol-gel materials, which can encapsulate metallic and magnetic nanoparticles, non-linear azochromophores, perovskites, organic dyes, biological molecules, etc.. …”

“…Welding technologies are currently used to connect the most diverse materials, from metallic alloys to polymers, composites, or even biological tissues. …”

“…But relations between changes in a number of commodity prices such as metals and agricultural raw material prices and consumer prices may be established. …”

“…This book presents pathology of the disease along with current knowledge of the structure-activity mechanism in the first two sections. Dyshomeostasis of metals is implicated in the pathogenesis of prions, and this influence is discussed further to understand the prion mechanism. …”

“…The main function of melanin is to protect from harmful agents, primarily UV radiation, but also from oxidation, heavy metals, etc. In this volume, chapters deal with production of melanin in human oral mucosa (Liviu et al.), the regulation of melanin action (Cecile et al.), production and potential technological application of fungal melanins (Pombiero-Sponchiado et al.) and an innovative method for measuring melanin in various samples (Zdybel et al.). …”

“…The materials used in their construction are metals and metallic alloys, polymers—ranging from elastomers to adhesives—and ceramics.Within these three cases, there are materials that are inert in the living environment, that perform an active function, or that are dissolved and resorbed by the metabolic pathways. …”

“…It discusses treatment and recovery process for the range of pollutants including BTX, PCB, PCDDs, proteins, phenols, antibiotics, complex organic compounds and metals. The occurrence of persistent pollutants poses deleterious effects on human and environmental health. …”

“…based components is expected to grow dramatically with expanding opportunities for lightweight metals and composites. Although this field has achieved a high level of maturity, nanoscale developments in carbon fibres have seen dramatic improvements in the functions of conventional biomaterials and composites. …”

“…A wide range of functional materials involving nanoparticles, composites, semiconductor and metallic nanowires, carbon nanomaterials, polymers, conductive inks, and different hybrid structures are particularly interesting. …”

“…The pollution of soil and groundwater by heavy metals and other chemicals is becoming a serious issue in many countries. …”

“…., ist Transformationssekretär in der Bezirksleitung der IG Metall Baden-Württemberg. Martina Thomas, M.A., ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin im Lehrgebiet Lebenslanges Lernen an der FernUniversität in Hagen…”

“…Interested readers will find in this book the topics of image compression, groundwater quality, establishing the downscaling and spatio-temporal scale conversion models of NDVI, modelling and optimization of 3T fractional nonlinear generalized magneto-thermoelastic multi-material, algebraic fractals in steganography, strain induced microstructures in metals and much more.
