This systematic review addressed the importance of corrosion rate, mechanical properties, toxicity, and bone healing of the biodegradable metallic implant coated with other materials. From the review, the study indicates that chemical and physical coatings are among the most extensively studied strategies for enhancing the performance of orthopaedic implants. For example, a composite coating made of polycaprolactone (PCL), and amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) particles has shown improved corrosion resistance when tested in simulated body fluid (SBF). Furthermore, bioactivity osteointegration could be enhanced by calcium phosphate (CaP) coating, such as brushite, β-tricalcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite.

This review provides a comprehensive and critical synthesis of recent progress in nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCMs), focusing on how nanomaterial incorporation modifies thermophysical behavior, durability, and application performance. Various nanomaterials—such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and metal oxides are examined for their roles in enhancing thermal conductivity, regulating phase transition kinetics, and improving overall energy efficiency. Compared with conventional PCMs, NePCMs demonstrate markedly improved performance, with reported thermal conductivity enhancements of 20–160 % at nanoparticle loadings of 0.1–5 wt.%, while maintaining latent heat reductions within an acceptable range of &lt;10–15 %. Hybrid nanomaterials and advanced encapsulation strategies, including in-situ polymerization and silica shell encapsulation, enable 10–30 % reductions in melting and solidification times and 30–70 % suppression of supercooling, alongside enhanced leakage resistance. Long-term reliability is evidenced by &gt; 90–95 % latent heat retention after 200–500 thermal cycles. For thermoregulation applications, system-level energy efficiency improvements of 10–25 % are reported within operating temperature windows of 20–200 °C. Despite these advances, critical challenges persist, including nanoparticle agglomeration, increased viscosity, scalability constraints, material cost escalation of 10–40 %, and unresolved environmental and health concerns. This review also evaluates emerging applications in smart textiles, electronics, temperature-controlled packaging, and solar thermal systems, highlighting the cross-sector potential of NePCMs. Furthermore, it addresses sustainability considerations, emphasizing lifecycle assessment, green synthesis, and risk mitigation strategies.

In this study, the tribological performance of low-metallic copper-free brake pads reinforced with steel fibers was investigated using a Chase friction testing machine in accordance with the SAE J661 standard. Low-metallic brake pad friction composites reinforced with 10–30 wt% steel fibers were fabricated using hot molding as a manufacturing step. The composites were formed under heat and pressure and subsequently post-cured to obtain the final friction materials. The samples were evaluated for normal and hot friction coefficients and wear rate. To evaluate the mechanical integrity of the brake pad composites, shear strength testing was also performed. By eliminating copper and focusing on frictional stability at different temperatures in steel fiber-reinforced formulations, this method enables accurate and reproducible simulation of real-world braking conditions within a controlled laboratory environment. This approach offers a standardized framework for optimizing environmentally friendly friction materials for automotive applications. The results demonstrated that the formulation containing 15 wt% steel fiber exhibited the most balanced performance, showing a high hot friction coefficient (0.468) and normal friction coefficient of 0.439, indicating consistent friction behavior with low sensitivity to operating conditions, which is regarded as an acceptable coefficient of friction under normal braking conditions. Moreover, this formulation presented the lowest wear rate (4.236 %) and excellent thermal stability.
