AB  - The creation of novel biocompatible Ti-based thin films with a Zr or Cu sub-layer modified by ultrafast laser processing is studied. To prepare bioactive surfaces, ultrafast laser processing is focused on the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) with the production of oxide phases at the surfaces. Two differently designed multilayer thin films Ti/Cu/Ti and Ti/Zr/Ti were deposited on the silicon using the ion sputtering method. The Ti thin film contains Cu or Zr sub-layer (thickness of 10 nm) at the 10 nm below the surface. The composition and surface morphology variations for these systems, deposited and laser-processed under the same experimental conditions, were caused only by different thermo-physical properties of the sub-layer (Cu or Zr). The surface morphology in the form of LIPSS, led to improved cell adhesion and stable cells/thin films interface compared to as-deposited samples. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and MTT analysis revealed that laser processing of both systems increased cell adhesion, proliferation, and metabolical activity of L929 mouse fibroblast cells compared to non-modified flat surfaces. Overall, the biocompatibility of Zrcontaining thin films is better than Ti/Cu/Ti system. Further, laser processing and formation of LIPSS makes Ti/Zr/Ti thin films excellent candidate for biomedical

AB  - Arranged patterns obtained via ultrafast laser processing on the surface of Ti/Cu/Ti/Si and Ti/Zr/Ti/Si thin-film systems are reported. Two differently designed multilayer thin films Ti/Cu/Ti/Si and Ti/Zr/Ti/Si were deposited on silicon using the ion sputtering method. The bioactive surfaces of these systems involve the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) in each of the laser-written lines of mesh patterns on 5 × 5 mm areas. The formation of nano- and micro-patterns with an ultra-thin oxide film on the surfaces was used to observe the effects of morphology and proliferation of the MRC-5 cell culture line. To determine whether Ti-based thin films have a toxic effect on living cells, an MTT assay was performed. The relative cytotoxic effect, as a percentage of surviving cells, showed that there was no difference in cell number between the Ti-based thin films and the control cells. There was also no difference in the viability of the MRC-5 cells, except for the Ti/Cu/Ti/Si system, where there was a slight 10% decrease in cell viability. © 2023 by the authors.

AB  - Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions in stellar binary systems, and important sources of 26Al and 22Na. While γ rays from the decay of the former radioisotope have been observed throughout the Galaxy, 22Na remains untraceable. Its half-life (2.6 yr) would allow the observation of its 1.275 MeV γray line from a cosmic source. However, the prediction of such an observation requires good knowledge of its nucleosynthesis. The 22Na(p, γ) 23Mg reaction remains the only source of large uncertainty about the amount of 22Na ejected. Its rate is dominated by a single resonance on the short-lived state at 7785.0(7) keV in 23Mg. Here, we propose a combined analysis of particle-particle correlations and velocity-difference profiles to measure femtosecond nuclear lifetimes. The application of this method to the study of the 23Mg states, places strong limits on the amount of 22Na produced in novae and constrains its detectability with future space-borne observatories.

AB  - The dielectric properties of nanocomposites based on isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and atactic polystyrene (aPS) obtained by novel, simple, and environmentally friendly treatment technique have been analyzed in this study. The best treatment conditions to obtain nanocomposites with embedded core-shell particles with enhanced dielectric properties were considered. Treatment of polymer matrices in water solution iron(II)-chloride had the most pronounced precipitation effect, that was directly related to the appearance of higher transition metal concentrations in the iPP and aPS matrices, in comparison to treatments in the other two transition metal salts, MnCl2 and NiCl2. Relative dielectric constant and loss tangent have been studied in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 9 MHz. Embedded core-shell nanoparticles (from 15 to 150 nm in diameter) in a very small amount (1.72E-8 mol/cm3 to 1.17E-5 mol/cm3) resulted in significant improvement (2.5% up to 9.1%) and stabilization of relative dielectric constant value toward higher frequencies and also lowering loss tangent in compare to starting polymer matrices. These properties indicate that materials obtained with the presented treatment technique can be applied as microelectronic packing and with further development of the method in order to obtain a higher concentration of metal ions as energy storage devices.

AB  - In this work, betaine (trimethyl glycine) and tannin (complex biomolecules of polyphenolic nature) were used as bio-fillers. Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin with a molar ratio of formaldehyde versus urea (FA/U) of 0.8 was synthesized in situ with tannin and betaine as bio-fillers, to obtain UF resin with reduced free FA content and increased hydrolytic and thermal stability by the principles of sustainability. The samples TUF (with tannin) and BUF (with betaine) were characterized by using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential thermal analysis (DTA), supported by data from Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The percentage of free FA in modified BUF resin is 0.1%, while the percentage of free FA in tannin-modified resin is 0.8%. The hydrolytic stability of the modified UF resins was determined by measuring the concentration of liberated FA in the modified UF resins, after acid hydrolysis. The modified BUF resin is hydrolytically more stable because the content of released FA is 3.6% compared to the modified TUF resin, where it was 7.4%. Based on the value for T5%, the more thermally stable resin is the modified TUF resin (T5% = 123.1°C), while the value of the T5% for the BUF resin is 83.1°C. This work showed how UF bio-composite with reduced free FA content and increased hydrolytic and thermal stability can be obtained using tannin and betaine as bio-fillers.

AB  - Nanopowders of up-conversion SrGd2O4 orthorhombic (Pnma) phase co-doped with different Yb3+ (1, 2.5 and 5 at%) and constant Er3+ (0.5 at%) ions were successfully prepared via sol-gel assisted combustion. Rietveld refinement indicated unit cell lattice parameters increase with Yb3+ and Er3+ ions doping. Scanning transmission electron microscopy with corresponding energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed that obtained powders are composed of agglomerated nanoparticles that have a uniform distribution of all constituting elements. Photoluminescence measurements implied intensification of the up-conversion (UC) emission in the visible part of spectrum with the increase of Yb3+ content, which is followed by a significant change in the green to red ratio. Two-photon UC processes are established as a result of Er3+ f-f electronic transitions: green emission at 523 and 551 nm (2H11/2, 4S3/2 → 4I15/2) as well as a red emission at 661 nm (4F9/2 → 4I15/2). The highest value of absolute quantum yield of 0.055% is determined for SrGd2O4 nanoparticles doped with 0.5 at% of Er3+ and co-doped with 5 at% of Yb3+ (λexc = 976 nm, power density 200 W/cm2).

AB  - The effect of laser (532 nm line of Verdi G) heating during the Raman measurements, on partial decomposition of Bi12SiO20 single crystal, was addressed in this study. The degree of decomposition directly depends on the power density and duration of the laser treatment, which are registered by the phonon Raman spectra. After laser treatment, AFM measurements register additional small spherical islands on the surface. Analysis performed on irradiated and unirradiated samples showed significant changes in transmission spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Verdet constant, magneto-optical property, and absorption coefficient. The material obtained after laser irradiation can be described as specific nanocomposite consisting of bismuth oxide and silicon oxide-based nano-objects (dimensions below 15 nm in diameter), which are arranged in a matrix of Bi12SiO20.

AB  - Oxynitrides of cerium are expected to have many useful properties but have not been synthesized so far. We identified possible modifications of a not-yet-synthesized Ce3O3N compound, combining global search (GS) and data mining (DM) methods. Employing empirical potentials, structure candidates were obtained via global optimization on the energy landscape of Ce3O3N for different pressure values. Furthermore, additional feasible structure candidates were found using data mining of the ICSD database. The most promising structure candidates obtained were locally optimized at the ab initio level, and their E(V) curves were computed. The structure lowest in total energy, Ce3O3N-DM1, was found via local optimization starting from a data mining candidate and should be thermodynamically metastable up to high pressures.

AB  - In modern industry, there is an increasing demand for environmentally friendly and light structural materials with good physical and mechanical properties, produced from cheap natural raw materials available in large quantities. One of the materials that meet the mentioned criteria is basalt. Basalt is a natural igneous rock of volcanic origin, created by the pouring of magma on the Earth's surface, the amount of which is significant in the territory of Serbia. Since basalt does not exhibit toxic, carcinogenic, or mutagenic effects, it is in the true sense a non-hazardous material and belongs to the group of eco-friendly materials. In this research, andesite basalt aggregate from the "Donje Jarinje" site, in Serbia, was used to obtain high-density glass-ceramic materials. High-density glass-ceramic materials were obtained by powder metallurgy process, which consisted of the following methods: dry grinding, homogenization, cold uniaxial and isostatic powder pressing and sintering in the air. In order to achieve a high-density of the materials, the green compacts were sintered in the temperature range from 1040 to 1080 °C. After confirming that the highest density materials were achieved at the sintering temperature of 1060 °C, the sintering time was optimized in the time interval from 30 to 240 min. After the experimental test, the optimal sintering parameters for obtaining high-density glass-ceramic material at the temperature of 1060 °C for 60 min were achieved, whose relative density is 99.50%, and hardness is 6.70 GPa. The characterization of andesite basalt powder was performed using the laser light diffraction method, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction method, while the characterization of sintered glass-ceramic materials was performed using the Archimedes method, X-ray diffraction method, optical light microscopy and Vickers hardness test. The results of this research confirmed that by applying powder metallurgy and sintering in the air, high-density glass-ceramic materials could be obtained for various industrial applications in the civil engineering, chemical and food industries, as well as for the making of containers for the storage of nuclear waste. Also, high-density glass-ceramic materials would be suitable for making a matrix in modern composite materials.

AB  - The industrial requirements in the 21st century are environmentally friendly and light construction materials with good physical-mechanical properties manufactured from cheap natural raw materials available in large quantities. One of these materials is basalt. Basalt is a natural igneous rock of volcanic origin, with a significant amount in Serbia. Basalt belongs to the group of non-hazardous and eco-friendly materials. Andesite basalt aggregate from the "Donje Jarinje" site, Serbia, was used as the starting natural raw material for obtaining the glass-ceramic material. The aggregate is from 2 to 5 mm in size. The aggregate was milled in the tungsten-carbide vibrating cup mill for 30 min to obtain a fine powder for synthesis. The homogenization of andesite basalt powder and binder was carried out in the mortar and pestle for 10 min. The paraplast was used as a binder with a content of 0.6 wt.%. After that, uniaxial pressing of the powder at a pressure of 50 MPa was performed. A forming green compact, cold isostatic pressing was performed with a pressure of 230 MPa to increase its density. The sintering was carried out at the temperature of 1060 °C for 60 min in the air. The sintered glass-ceramic sample was a relative density of 99.5%, a macrohardness of 6.7 GPa and a fracture toughness of 2.2 MPa·m1/2 [1]. The andesite basalt powder was characterized using the laser light diffraction method, X-ray diffraction method and scanning electron microscopy. Sintered glassceramic material was characterized using the X-ray diffraction method, Archimedes principle, scanning electron and optical light microscopy and the Vickers hardness test. The glass-ceramic material obtained by sintering andesite basalt powder could be used for various industrial applications in the civil engineering, mechanical, chemical, and petrochemical industries, as well as for the making of containers to store nuclear waste.

abstract = "The industrial requirements in the 21st century are environmentally friendly and light construction materials with good physical-mechanical properties manufactured from cheap natural raw materials available in large quantities. One of these materials is basalt. Basalt is a natural igneous rock of volcanic origin, with a significant amount in Serbia. Basalt belongs to the group of non-hazardous and eco-friendly materials. Andesite basalt aggregate from the "Donje Jarinje" site, Serbia, was used as the starting natural raw material for obtaining the glass-ceramic material. The aggregate is from 2 to 5 mm in size. The aggregate was milled in the tungsten-carbide vibrating cup mill for 30 min to obtain a fine powder for synthesis. The homogenization of andesite basalt powder and binder was carried out in the mortar and pestle for 10 min. The paraplast was used as a binder with a content of 0.6 wt.%. After that, uniaxial pressing of the powder at a pressure of 50 MPa was performed. A forming green compact, cold isostatic pressing was performed with a pressure of 230 MPa to increase its density. The sintering was carried out at the temperature of 1060 °C for 60 min in the air. The sintered glass-ceramic sample was a relative density of 99.5%, a macrohardness of 6.7 GPa and a fracture toughness of 2.2 MPa·m1/2 [1]. The andesite basalt powder was characterized using the laser light diffraction method, X-ray diffraction method and scanning electron microscopy. Sintered glassceramic material was characterized using the X-ray diffraction method, Archimedes principle, scanning electron and optical light microscopy and the Vickers hardness test. The glass-ceramic material obtained by sintering andesite basalt powder could be used for various industrial applications in the civil engineering, mechanical, chemical, and petrochemical industries, as well as for the making of containers to store nuclear waste.",

AB  - This paper aims to investigate the development of a floating artificial sustainable energy island at a conceptual design level that would enhance the energy independence of islands focusing on a case study on the island of Crete. This paper provides a baseline assessment showing the immense potential of wind and solar energy in and around Crete integrating the third significant renewable energy source (RES) of ocean waves into the energy island. The selection of the best location for the floating offshore platforms that compose the energy island is addressed through exploiting the great potential of the above-mentioned RES, taking into consideration criteria with regard to several significant human activities. To this end, the concept of an innovative floating modular energy island (FMEI) that integrates different renewable energy resources is proposed; in addition, a case study that focuses on the energy independency of a big island illustrates the concept referring to the substitution of the local thermal power plants that are currently in operation in Crete with sustainable energy power. Although focused on the renewable energy resources around Crete, the work of this paper provides a basis for a systematic offshore renewable energy assessment as it proposes a new methodology that could be used anywhere around the globe.

AB  - In recent years, the interest of the scientific community has become focused on the integration of circular economy principles by eliminating end-of-life concepts and forming zero-waste strategies. The present paper suggests the possible application of innovative, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and highly efficient ceramic materials with the partial implementation of aluminosilicate-based waste in the form of wastewater sludge in advanced technology solutions. The specific objective was to demonstrate the effective utilization of the investigated waste in the production of refractory adhesives and/or sealants for Intermediate-Temperature Solid-Oxide Fuel Cells (IT-SOFCs). Different physical–mechanical and chemical properties were determined along with the performance of leaching tests, the thermal cycling procedure, and leakage tests in a single cell. Based on the maintenance of mechanical
