In Intensive Care Units (ICUs), nurses operate within an environment where data may be interpreted in entropic terms, directly influencing rapid decision-making and strategy formulation, i.e., this high-stakes environment necessitates seamless collaboration between nurses, physicians, and patients, which is vital for the association and consolidation of long-term objectives. Indeed, job satisfaction for nurses ...
The multilayered Mo2N/Ag-SiNx self-lubricant films were designed and deposited using a DC (Direct Current) magnetron sputtering system under mixed gas atmosphere of N2 and Ar. The modulation ratio (thickness ratio of Mo2N to Ag-SiNx) was fixed at 2:1, while the modulation periods (thickness of Mo2N and its adjacent Ag-SiNx layer) were set at 20, 40, and 60 nm. The results indicated that all multilayer films, re...
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) coatings are gaining increasing interest among the scientific community as eco-friendly solutions for reducing friction, improving energy conservation, and lowering carbon footprints. N-alloyed MoSe2 coatings (MoSeN), a subset of TMDs, remain largely underexplored, with no research on their frictional performance across various sliding environments. Herein, an in-depth anal...
Recent advancements in aerospace industry demand intricate aero-engine parts, leading to the increased use of titanium alloys, particularly Ti-17, due to its high strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. However, its low thermal conductivity and tool wear tendency pose significant machining challenges, impacting surface integrity, fatigue life, and overall component performance. This study investi...
Achieving simultaneous enhancement of both mechanical and self-lubricating properties by incorporating soft lubricants into nitride films has been a longstanding challenge in the development of solid lubricant materials. This paper introduced a novel approach to overcome this challenge by developing coherent-structured Mo2N/Ag-SiNx multilayered films using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The multilay...
