Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Friction, wear, and corrosion are significant issues in materials engineering. Friction is a force that resists the relative motion of two surfaces in contact, while wear is the gradual loss of material that results from friction. Corrosion, on the other hand, involves the degradation of materials due to chemical reactions with the environment. Research on the friction, wear, and corrosion properties of materials has focused on understanding the mechanisms that underlie these phenomena and developing strategies for improving the performance and durability of materials.

In conclusion, research on friction, wear, and corrosion properties of materials is crucial for improving the performance and durability of materials used in various applications. Researchers have studied the underlying mechanisms of these phenomena, as well as strategies for improving material properties. By gaining a better understanding of these processes, researchers can develop materials that can resist wear and corrosion and reduce the energy lost due to friction.

As a prominent contributor in the field, we cordially invite you to share your latest research findings in this Special Issue. Additionally, we welcome review articles on related topics. We look forward to your contributions and the opportunity to jointly advance this exciting area of research.

Environmental noise pollution is a growing challenge worldwide, necessitating effective sound absorption strategies to improve acoustic environments. Materials that draw inspiration from nature’s structural design principles can provide enhanced functionalities. Wood exhibits an intricate multi-scale porous architecture that can dissipate acoustic energy. This study investigates a biomimetic sound-absorbing structure composed of hierarchical pores inspired by the vascular networks within wood cells. The perforated resonators induce complementary frequency responses and porous propagation effects for broadband attenuation. Samples were fabricated using 3D printing for systematic testing. The pore size, porosity, number of layers, and order of the layers were controlled as experimental variables. Acoustic impedance tube characterization demonstrated that optimizing these architectural parameters enables absorption coefficients approaching unity across a broad frequency range. The tuned multi-layer porous architectures outperformed single pore baselines, achieving up to a 25–35% increase in the average absorption. The bio-inspired coupled pore designs also exhibited a 95% broader working bandwidth. These enhancements result from the increased viscous losses and tailored impedance matching generated by the hierarchical porosity. This work elucidates structure–property guidelines for designing biomimetic acoustic metamaterials derived from the porous morphology of wood. The results show significant promise for leveraging such multi-scale cellular geometries in future materials and devices for noise control and dissipative engineering applications across diverse sectors.

β-tricalcium phosphate has good biodegradability and biocompatibility; it is widely perceived as a good material for treating bone deficiency. In this research, different contents of strontium (Sr) and silver (Ag) ion-doped β-tricalcium phosphate powders were prepared using the sol–gel method. After obtaining the best ratio of pore-forming agent and binder, the as-synthesized powders were sintered in a muffle for 5 h at 1000 °C to obtain the samples. Then, these samples were degraded in vitro in simulated body fluids. The samples were tested using a series of characterization methods before and after degradation. Results showed that the amount of Sr and/or Ag doping had an effect on the crystallinity and structural parameters of the samples. After degradation, though the compressive strength of these samples decreased overall, the compressive strength of the undoped samples was higher than that of the doped samples. Notably, apatite-like materials were observed on the surface of the samples. All the results indicate that Sr and/or Ag β-TCP has good osteogenesis and proper mechanical properties; it will be applied as a prospective biomaterial in the area of bone repair. Full article
