In this work, an attempt to improve the corrosion resistance of WC Co coatings was made by either modifying the coating composition with the addition of a NiCr alloy or by performing a post-melt treatment, in order to disrupt the intrinsic lamellar microstructure of the coating.
Stiffness and straightness of the probe can be tuned by modifying the Parylene C coating thickness and the length of the carbon fiber or platinum wire.
Therefore, the coating materials may become the substitutes for the hard tissues of the human body in the future, which could realize the balance between the mechanical properties and the bioactivity by modifying the structural design of the coating.
Scanning electron microscope observation and electrochemical corrosion tests of the stannate-coated samples confirmed significant improvement in uniformity and corrosion resistivity of coating films deposited by the potentiostatic technique by modifying the pH and temperature of the coating bath.
It is shown that the feedstock powder size has a strong effect on the coating hardness by modifying the amount of hard unmelted powder particles.
Also, by modifying the proposed polarization splitter and implementing a metallic coating, a polarization deflector is designed.
The effectiveness of formulated lubricant additives was also modified by the coating, resulting in major effects on friction and wear behavior.
Adhesion of a yeast cell, Candida utilis, was modified by the coating of EAK 16 II on both hydrophobic (plastic) and hydrophilic (glass) surfaces: Cell coverage was slightly enhanced on the glass substrate, but decreased significantly on the plastic substrate.
Hg-free SPEs have been developed by employing gold (Masawat et al. 2003), silver (Zen et al. 2002), bare carbon electrodes (Honeychurch et al. 2002), or by modifying electrodes with drop coating of chemical such as 1- 2-pyridy-lazo -2-naphthol (Honeychurch et al. 2001- 2-pyridy-lazo -2-naphtholch et al. 2001- 2-pyridy-lazo -2-naphthol
The surface topography can easily be modified by adjusting the coating conditions [ 23, 24].
