TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art of shape-stabilization (SS-PCM) and encapsulation (CS-PCMs) of organic PCMs for low thermal applications is reviewed.

TL;DR: CrAlN is a good candidate as an alternative to conventional CrN coatings especially for high temperature oxidation-resistance applications as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown that negative substrate bias has important effects on the deposition growth rate and crystalline structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the deposition parameters on the composition and crystalline structure of chromium carbide coating on steel is characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), secondary ion mass Spectroscopy (SIMS), and glow discharge optical emission spectroscope (GDOES).

TL;DR: In this article, the erosion-corrosion behavior of pure Ni and Ni-SiC composite coatings was evaluated in a corrosive environment using in situ potentiondynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the different metal induced structures on the electrical, optical and mechanical properties of diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films were studied, where samples were prepared at room temperature by pulsed-DC reactive magnetron sputtering, as a suitable way to vary their composition.
