Design of wideband graded-index antireflection coatings at oblique light incidence

We suggest a design method of graded-refractive-index (GRIN) antireflection (AR) coating for s-polarized or p-polarized light at off-normal incidence. The spectrum characteristic of the designed antireflection coating with a quintic effective refractive-index profile for a given state of polarization has been discussed. In addition, the genetic algorithm was used to optimize the refractive index profile of the GRIN antireflection for reducing the mean reflectance of s- and p-polarizations. The average reflectance loss was reduced to only 0.04% by applying optimized GRIN AR coatings onto BK7 glass over the wavelength range from 400 to 800 nm at the incident angle of θ₀ =70°.

A methodology to model the complex morphology of rough interfaces

A methodology is proposed to model the complex morphology of rough interfaces using Fourier techniques and image analysis. It allows an optimal representation of a rough interface so as to enable a realistic calculation of the local stress and strain fields in the interface vicinity using finite element techniques. The methodology is illustrated through a sensitivity analysis carried out on a thermal barrier coating system. Typical bi-material interfaces with different levels of morphological complexity are described in 2D and 3D using both periodic (sinusoidal) and Fourier functions. The results are discussed in terms of their relative accuracy.

本文对气固冲蚀和浆体冲蚀条件下耐磨环氧胶粘涂层的磨损特性进行了研究。结果表明,这种涂层的冲蚀磨损是由粘结剂的磨损和抗磨填料的磨损所组成;填料粒度和磨料粒度都对涂层的气固冲蚀磨损有影响,但在给定的试验条件下,填料粒度对涂层的浆体冲蚀磨损影响甚微。文章指出,耐磨环氧胶粘涂层在气固冲蚀和浆体冲蚀下的磨损机理相似,但磨损规律却有所不同;耐磨环氧胶粘涂层尤其适用于浆体冲蚀的场合,可以明显地提高机械过流部件的使用寿命。

A Review on Effects of Lubricant Formulations on Tribological Performance and Boundary Lubrication Mechanisms of Non-Doped DLC/DLC Contacts

Tribological efficiency of industrial applications involving boundary lubrication regime can be improved to an appreciable extent by the deposition of hard coatings on interacting surfaces. Among such coatings, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are considered to be one of the most suitable ones for the said role. DLC coatings possess a unique combination of physical, chemical, and material properties due to which they can help in minimizing friction-induced energy and material losses even under starved lubrication conditions. Since commercial lubricants are optimized for steel surfaces, therefore, a lot of experimental investigations were carried out to analyze the tribological compatibility of these lubricants with various DLC coatings. However, there is still a lack of understanding about how DLC coatings interact with conventional lubricant additives. Some researchers reported tribologically beneficial interactions between DLC coatings and formulated lubricants while others observed no such behavior. To address these inconsistencies, there is a need to rearrange the published data in a more apprehensible and organized manner with a special emphasis on the mechanisms responsible for a particular tribological behavior. In this way, it can be determined whether synergistic or antagonistic correlation exists between a particular DLC-lubricant combination and research on DLC coatings can be continued in a logical way. In this article, most widely investigated non-doped DLC coatings (ta-C, a-C:H, a-C, and ta-C:H) are tribologically analyzed. Average values of friction and wear coefficients are calculated for various DLC-lubricant combinations using already published data and compared to quantify the effectiveness of a particular lubricant additive in enhancing tribological characteristics of symmetrical non-doped DLC contacts. Moreover, tribological performance parameters of non-doped DLC coatings are compared with those of doped-DLC coatings to understand differences in their tribological behavior in combination with additives.     

Polymer Nanocomposites for Emulsion‐Based Coatings and Adhesives

Emulsion‐based coatings and adhesives are in growing demand due to an increased awareness of health and safety issues arising from solvent‐based polymer manufacturing processes. However, emulsion‐based techniques often require additional development to achieve equal or better application performance compared to solvent‐based processes. The inclusion of nanoparticles in emulsion‐based coatings and adhesives can be considered as a promising means to enhance performance. This paper reviews the current progress on the synthesis of emulsion‐based nanocomposites for coating and adhesive applications and addresses the principles and techniques for nanoparticle dispersions and their inclusion into polymer latexes. The effects of nanoparticle shape and size on the enhancement of nanocomposite properties are also highlighted. Among the reinforcing nanoparticles such as nanoclays, carbon nanotubes, and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), CNCs are promising due to their abundance, nontoxicity, and accessible surface hydroxyl groups, which facilitate their compatibility with polymer latexes via physical and chemical treatments.
