Article Abstract
This study investigates the effects of ultrasonic nanocrystalline surface modification (UNSM) on the formation of nitride layers in Ti-6Al-4V alloy during ion-plasma nitriding (IPN). Various UNSM parameters, including vibration amplitude, static load, and processing temperature, were systematically varied to evaluate their influence on microstructure, hardness, elastic modulus, and tribological behavior. The results reveal that pre-treatment with optimized UNSM conditions significantly enhances nitrogen diffusion, leading to the formation of dense and uniform TiN/TiN layers. Samples pre-treated under high-load and elevated-temperature UNSM exhibited the greatest improvements in surface hardness (up to 25%), elastic modulus (up to 18%), and wear resistance, with a reduced and stabilized friction coefficient (~0.55). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses confirmed microstructural densification, grain refinement, and increased nitride phase intensity. These findings demonstrate not only the scientific relevance but also the practical potential of UNSM as an effective surface activation technique. The hybrid UNSM + IPN approach may serve as a promising method for extending the service life of load-bearing biomedical implants and engineering components subjected to intensive wear.

Effective removal of trace heavy metal ions from aqueous bodies is a pressing problem and requires significant improvement in the area of absorbent material in terms of removal efficiency and sustainability. We propose an efficient strategy to enhance the adsorption efficiency of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by growing dendrimers on their surface. First, CNTs were pre-functionalized with maleic acid (MA) via Diels-Alder reaction in presence of a deep eutectic solvent under ultrasonication.

In this study, the systematic investigation focused on how varying power levels of ultrasonic (US) pretreatment, when integrated with electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying, influence the physicochemical properties of yam. Yam samples were subjected to ultrasonic pretreatment at 30 °C for 30 min using power levels of 0 W (Control), 150 W, 180 W, 210 W, 240 W, and 270 W, respectively, followed by drying in an EHD system. During the drying process, a range of metrics were measured, including moisture content, average drying rate, color change, as well as rehydration capacity.

Identifying and predicting the catastrophic failure of brittle rock remains a challenging task, yet it is crucial for developing early warning systems and preventing dynamic rock hazards. In this study, we employed the propagative parameters of ultrasonic waves and information from acoustic emission (AE) events to characterize the brittle failure of a flawed sandstone sample under uniaxial compression. A sliding event window method was developed to obtain the temporal b-value, effectively revealing microcrack growth based on the frequency-magnitude distribution of AE events.

Heterojunctions have garnered significant attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their exceptional ability to facilitate the separation of photogenerated charge carriers and their high efficiency in hydrogen reaction. However, their overall photocatalytic performance is often constrained by electron transport rates and suboptimal hydrogen adsorption/desorption kinetics. To address these challenges, this study develops a g-CN/MoS@MoC dual-effect synergistic solid-state Z-type heterojunction, synthesized through the in-situ sulfurization of MoC combined with ultrasonic self-assembly technique.

Objective: To evaluate clinical and laboratory effectiveness of ultrasound treatment for purulent wounds.
Material And Methods: The study enrolled 46 patients with purulent wounds divided into the main group (23 patients, ultrasonic treatment) and the control group (23 patients, traditional treatment). We assessed treatment effectiveness considering visual data, quality of granulation tissue, wound defect area and marginal epithelialization, complete blood count and C-reactive protein.
