Despite Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene has certified tremendous promise for improving the anti-corrosion/wear of epoxy resin, it falls short of matching the protective standards under long-term extreme conditions. Herein, 2-methylimidazole zinc salt ZIF-8 was grown in-situ on amino-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets and doped with cerium cations (P + -Ti 3 C 2 T x @ZCe). The Ti 3 C 2 T x -based composite was then parallel arranged within epoxy coating utilizing electrophoretic deposition technique to prepare a novel self-healing intelligent coating (PMX@ZCe). The encapsulation structure of P + -Ti 3 C 2 T x @ZCe was investigated by XRD , FTIR, XPS, FE-SEM, TEM, Zeta potential and TG techniques. Furthermore, the corrosion/wear resistance and self-healing performances of PMX@ZCe were discussed detailedly and the strengthening mechanism of P + -Ti 3 C 2 T x @ZCe was revealed. Results indicate that PMX@ZCe maintains the highest |Z| 0.01Hz value of 1.24 × 10 10 Ω cm 2 after 4 weeks of electrochemical test and exhibits excellent self-healing efficiency of 153 % under artificial scratch, which is ascribed to the release of Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ that could form insoluble protective films at the coating/metal interface. The wear rate of PMX@ZCe is 2.29 × 10 −5 mm 3 /N · m about 56 % lower than that of EP. PMX@ZCe possesses satisfactory corrosion/wear protection performance, thanks to the synergy of good interfacial interaction , parallel-aligned barrier effect and active-passive protection. This work provides a new design thinking for MXene-based intelligent protective coatings that can meet the demands of multi-service environments.

Currently, surface coatings on agricultural machinery are crucial for extending service life. However, achieving coating strength and toughness remains a challenge. In this paper, two types of high-hardness iron-based coatings, referred as S1 and S2, were prepared by modulating the Mo/V ratio in the Fe-C-V-Mo-B system, and their microstructural evolution and property changes were investigated. The results show that the S1 coating primarily consist of martensitic matrix, spherical VC, blocky Mo 2 B, and a small amount of skeleton-like Mo 2 B. In contrast, the S2 coating consist of martensitic matrix, petal-like VC, and skeleton-like Mo 2 B. Compared with S1, the VC volume fraction in S2 increases by 6.5%, and the Mo 2 B volume fraction increases by 16.3%. The average microhardness of S1 and S2 coatings are 737 HV 0.5 and 954 HV 0.5 , respectively, indicating that the S2 coating exhibits a 22.7% higher microhardness compared with S1. The average friction coefficients of S1 and S2 coatings are 0.434 and 0.398, respectively. Furthermore, the wear loss of S2 coating is approximately half that of S1. The fracture toughness of S1 and S2 coatings are 51.9 MPa·m 1/2 and 51.7MPa·m 1/2 , respectively. Fracture analysis reveals that the skeleton-like eutectic structure in S2 can deflect cracks generated by impact, increase the length of propagation path, and improve the toughness of coating. It allows S2 coating to achieve high hardness and wear resistance, while maintaining toughness comparable to S1 coating. This study provides a theoretical basis for the design and development of iron-based coatings with high hardness, high abrasion resistance, and impact resistance for agricultural machinery.

In this study, a new Al-LPM composite coating was in-situ deposited on the Al alloy via a facile one-pot hydrothermal method . Morphological and compositional characterizations revealed a tri-layered structure of the Al-LPM coating, namely, zinc aluminum-layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/MoS 2 . ZnAL-LDH was deposited closest to the surface of Al alloy , and the metallic ion-cross-linking of PEDOT:PSS makes the 3D coating more robust. The unique structure endows the coating with superior protective properties against both corrosion and wear. For anti-corrosion, the Al-LPM coating showed very high self-corrosion potential (-0.092 V) and small self-corrosion current density (46.0 μA cm −2 ) (vs. Al substrate with -1.157 V and 354.8 μA cm −2 , respectively), long-lasting high corrosion resistance (>57,000 Ω cm 2 ) during the immersion test, and the almost intact surface morphology and composition after 360 h corrosion. For anti-wear, the friction coefficient of the Al-LPM coating was determined to be < 0.2, which was much smaller than for the Al substrate (> 0.4). Also, there were no serious wear marks and grooves left after the dry-friction test.

In this study, a pulsed electrodeposition approach was used to create a Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 composite coating on the surface of J55 steel. Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 composite coatings with different material additions were prepared, and the surface morphology, grain size, microhardness and wear and corrosion resistance were investigated. The results confirmed that the embedding of ZrB 2 in the Ni-Cu coating can refine the grains and make the coating surface denser. Furthermore, ZrB 2 can effectively increase the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating; the Ni-Cu/ZrB 2 (1.0 g/L) composite coating reflects this by having the shallowest and narrowest wear cross-section as well as the lowest average friction coefficient (0.537). Additionally, the composite coating has the highest impedance modulus, reaching 83.60 kΩ/cm 2 . The composite coating improved corrosion resistance by 63.1 % compared to the pure sample. The enhancement in the coating's corrosion resistance can be attributed to three factors. Firstly, the addition of zirconium diborate refines the coating grain and changes the corrosion type from pitting corrosion to homogeneous corrosion. Secondly, zirconium diborate forms a physical barrier against corrosive ions. Lastly, the formation of the oxide layer on the coating during the process of corrosion, also enhances the material's resistance to corrosion.

Robust, washable, steam permeable fabrics that display solvatochromic structural color changes are fabricated by a solvent evaporation-driven self-assembly method using poly(styrene–butyl acrylate–acrylic acid) core–shell colloidal microspheres. The colloidal microspheres self-assemble into a periodic arrangement to form a colorless transparent film on fabrics. Because of the lack of refractive index difference between the film and fabric, the fabric retains its original color (black polyester in this work). As soon as the fabric is wetted, its color changes. When the wetted fabric is completely dried, its original black color appears again. These solvatochromic fabrics do not show apparent color fading during repeated stretching or after laundering. The structural color fabrics show promising steam permeability with only a 13% decrease compared with the original fabrics. Therefore, the wearability of the fabric meets the demands for applications in the textile industry.

Low strength and poor performance of SiC–WC composite for seals, attributable to the use of a large amount of liquid phase sintering additives, limit the application prospects of these materials. This study focuses on preparing high-strength, high-toughness, and wear-resistant SiC–WC composite using a small amount of aluminum and carbon black as sintering additives. The results revealed that the specimen containing 50 wt% WC exhibited the maximum flexural strength and fracture toughness of 645.9 MPa and 7.49 Mpa m 1/2 , respectively. These improvements were attributed to the deoxidizing and solid-solution effects of Al and the reinforcing effect of the WC second phase. Moreover, the specific wear rate was measured at 8.06 × 10 −7 mm 3 N −1 m −1 , which was 56.9 % lower than that of monolithic SiC. Results from Raman spectral analysis provided evidence of the presence of W–O bonds on the wear surface, indicating that the SiO 2 film could be successfully replaced by a WO 3 film.

Wear resistance is the key factor that affects the long-term use of leather. Graphene has excellent wear resistance properties, but ensuring the effective dispersion of graphene in resin is crucial for determining the performance of the material. In this work, silica modified with polydopamine (SiO2@PDA) was used as an exfoliation agent. Using the microfluidization process and water as the medium, silica-graphene hybrid nanoparticles (SiO2@PDA-G) were prepared from expanded graphite. These nanoparticles were further compounded with waterborne polyurethane (WPU), and a superfine fiber-based fabric was used as the substrate to prepare composite coating. The results showed that the high shear force of the microfluidization process easily broke up the lamellar structure of graphite, resulting in few-layer graphene. Nano-silica was adsorbed on the surface of graphene, preventing re-aggregation between the graphene sheets. Compared to the WPU coating, the presence of SiO2@PDA-G improved the wear resistance and mechanical properties of the coating. The wear rate and the average friction coefficient of the composite coating decreased by 48% and 69%, respectively, and the tensile strength increased by 83%. Therefore, this study provides a new strategy for improving the dispersion of graphene in polymer materials and enhancing the abrasion resistance of the coatings.

The MoS 2 /lignin hybrid material was successfully synthesized and incorporated into an epoxy resin to fabricate composite coatings. The results demonstrate that MoS 2 is uniformly attached to the surface of lignin sheets. Compared to adding lignin alone, the MoS 2 /lignin hybrid-epoxy resin (EP) composite coatings exhibited enhanced friction-reducing and wear-resistant properties. Specifically, the 1 wt% MoS 2 /lignin hybrid displayed excellent dispersion and high interfacial compatibility within the resin matrix, leading to a 66.7% increase in Vickers hardness, a 27.5% increase in tensile strength, and a 73.9% improvement in char yield. Furthermore, the friction coefficient and wear rate were reduced by 63.2% and 75.8%, respectively. As a uniformly dispersed hybrid structure, the MoS 2 /lignin material can endure higher loads, autonomously repair defects, and form a stable and complete transfer film on the worn surface, demonstrating synergistic friction-reducing and wear-resistant effects within the epoxy resin matrix. Integrating MoS 2 into a two-dimensional material can provide a practical reference for designing polymer-based hybrid materials with outstanding comprehensive properties. Highlights The MoS 2 /lignin hybrid material was successfully synthesized. MoS 2 is uniformly attached to the surface of lignin sheets. The hybrid significantly enhances friction-reducing and wear-resistant properties. Vickers hardness increased by 66.7%, and tensile strength increased by 27.5%. The friction coefficient was reduced by 63.2%, and the wear rate was reduced by 75.8%.

Liquid metal (LM)-based conductive hydrogels have attracted considerable attention in wearable technology due to their superior electrical conductivity and excellent biocompatibility. However, developing LM composite hydrogels that simultaneously achieve high sensitivity, long-term durability, and superior mechanical properties remains a challenge for meeting the demands of advanced wearable applications. In this study, we introduce phytic acid (PA), a naturally occurring small molecule, whose unique interfacial stabilization properties arise from the dual functionality of its phosphate groups: (i) the ability to form strong coordination bonds with metal surfaces, and (ii) the enhancement of the polymer network through multiple hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions, significantly improving the dispersion stability of LM within the hydrogel matrix. Based on this strategy, we successfully fabricated PLM x hydrogels with superior electrical conductivity (∼0.53 S m −1 ), exceptional toughness (∼9.7 MJ m −3 ), and remarkable durability (>11,000 cycles). The PLM x hydrogel exhibits outstanding sensitivity (gauge factor ∼8.1) and enables wireless dual-mode signal detection—precisely monitoring vigorous human motion and sensitively detecting subtle physiological signals. Notably, even under prolonged use and high-frequency cycling conditions, the PLM x hydrogel maintains excellent signal responsiveness and operational stability, demonstrating its tremendous potential for applications in smart health monitoring, human-machine interfaces, and next-generation wearable devices.

Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics have received much attention in recent years. They have been constructed usually by lowering surface energy and increasing surface roughness. Because of the significant environmental harm caused by fluorine-containing reagents, difficult preparation techniques, and low wear resistance, finding a simple approach to prepare a fluorine-free, wear-resistant, strongly sticky superhydrophobic cotton fabric remains a challenge. In this study, we describe a fluorine-free superhydrophobic cotton fabric using the simple preparation approach of immersion, which creates nanoscale siloxane aggregates dispersible in organic solvents. The modified cotton fabrics are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, fourier-transform infrared, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Excellent superhydrophobicity (ultrahigh water contact angle is 165.2° and sliding angle is 7.2° as well as excellent self-cleaning properties) has been easily applied to cotton fabrics. Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics also have good anti-fouling properties for many common types of liquids, such as milk, coffee, cola, etc. It has been established that these waterproof coatings exhibit outstanding mechanical endurance against water impact, abrasion, and laundering. Superhydrophobic fabrics have a wide range of possible uses due to their readily available coating materials, simple application technique, and strong mechanical endurance. Graphical abstract

Weak hierarchical rough structures on superhydrophobic surfaces hinder their practical industrial applications. This paper reports a strategy to fabricate robust nickel-based superhydrophobic coatings via the codeposition of nanosized WS 2 and WC particles. The Ni/WC/WS 2 composite coatings were synthesized on mild steel substrates by one-pot electroplating followed by the adsorption of stearic acid self-assembled monolayers to modify the surface wetting. The particle concentration in the bath was investigated and the maximum water contact angle of approx. 170° was achieved by optimizing the particle contained. Hardened by WC and lubricated by WS 2 inclusions the superhydrophobic coatings showed remarkable abrasive resistance with a bearing capacity ≥10,000 mm abrasion length. The coatings also showed aerophilic behavior and good environmental stability over >6 months.

This research aims to design a high-temperature wear resistance cobalt-based coating of hot-end parts as protective coating. The cobalt-based matrix coatings were reinforced by NiCrAlY and different contents of TiC (6.0, 8.0 and 10.0 wt%) using laser cladding technology. Some efforts were made to explore the influence of TiC on the microstructure, hardness and wear behavior of prepared coatings. The wear behavior of coatings was done via a ball-on-disk wear machine under room temperature -800 °C. The results showed that NiCrAlY decomposed and formed γ-Co(fcc) and β-NiAl phases. The hardness of coatings with TiC was reinforced due to the fine-grain strengthening and dispersion strengthening. The friction coefficients of reinforced coatings were destroyed due to the TiC particle and in-situ synthetized ceramic particles, whereas the wear resistance of coatings with TiC was enhanced. There existed an optimal content of TiC for the wear resistance of Co-NiCrAlY-TiC coatings. The coating with 8.0 wt% TiC had a satisfactory tribologcial performance at test temperatures. It was ascribed to the moderate hardness and in-situ synthetized solid lubricants, as well as the tribo-layer.
