Publication on Zn-Li Alloys
Graduate student Shan Zhao led the project on formulation of new Zn-Li alloys for biomedical applications. In her first paper on Zn-Li alloys she reports a preparation of new Zn-xLi alloys (with x=2, 4, 6 at%). Structures of the formulated … Continue reading
SI Volume 4 Issue 4
The fourth issue of 2016 of Surface Innovations is available online. It contains four papers, starting with a review entitled “Superwettability integration: concepts, design and applications” by Moyuan Cao and Lei Jiang. This contribution offers a new and unique perspective … Continue reading
Zinc and Inflammatory Cells
Although zinc and its alloys have many potential advantages, the inflammatory response has not been carefully examined in our research until recently. Using a modified wire implantation model, our close collaborators from Biomedical Engineering program led by Roger Guillory and … Continue reading
SI Volume 4 Issue 3
We are glad to share with you the content of the 3rd issue of 2016 of Surface Innovations, with six papers on bio-nano interfaces, which were selected and assembled by Prof. Candan Tamerler from the University of Kansas.
Top 1% in Materials Science
One of the SURFI review papers entitled Hydrophilic and Superhydrophilic Surfaces and Materials, published in Soft Matter in 2011, was marked as Highly Cited Paper by Thomson Reuters in its Web of Science. This highly cited paper received enough citations … Continue reading
Curaua Reinforced Composite
A new journal publication entitled Promising Curaua Fiber Reinforced Polyester Composite for High Impact Ballistic Multilayered Armor was published online in the Polymer Engineering and Science journal. This publication is a joint effort between Institute of Military Engineering in Rio … Continue reading
New SI Publication
A better understanding of the surface oxide film on biodegradable metals could lead to the design of smarter, surface responsive biodegradable stents with good biocompatibility and controlled degradation rates at different stages of implantation. In our new study, the surface … Continue reading
Impact Factor for SI
Surface Innovations journal received its first Impact Factor: 1.438. Although this number is not great yet, it will increase next year to about 2, as per our early estimate, and hopefully will continue to increase to much higher number in … Continue reading
Charge Anisotropy of Scheelite
We employed atomic force microscopy to measure the colloidal interactions between silicon nitride cantilever tips and scheelite crystal surfaces in 1mM KCl solutions of varying pH. By fitting the DLVO theoretical model to the recorded force-distance curves, the surface charge … Continue reading
SI Volume 4 Issue 2
We are glad to share with you the content of the 2nd issue of 2016 of Surface Innovations, with a review on sol-gel coatings for corrosion protection of aluminum alloys, three technical papers on topics related to local impedance imaging, … Continue reading
