Given that surface properties such as roughness, free energy, and chemistry are known to influence the long-term clinical success of implants [3, 4], it is therefore essential to tune them.
To overcome this lack of DLC coating adhesion to metallic surfaces, engineering interfacial bonding, adjusting surface chemistry, and tailoring topography by pretreatments have been proposed [6, 9-12].
However, depending on the pretreatment conditions, changes in the structure of the DLC coatings can be observed.
DLC-coated before and after aging in PBS in terms of morphology (SEM images), structure (Raman), roughness and wettability.
On the contrary, shorter CH4 carburizing pretreatment, effective in removing the native oxide layer, also led to a thicker DLC coating with a higher diamond-like structure.

AFM.

It can be observed that porous honeycomb structure with uniformity in pore-diameter and spacing is obtained, and most of the pores are circular or near elliptical.
Consequently, the growing of the film becomes more stable, and the porous structure of the film gets more regular and has a highly ordered array.

Abstract: Bi2WO6-WO3heterojunctions were first prepared using hydrothermal method with the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).
The highest photocatalytic activity of Pt-Bi2WO6-WO3photocatalyst is attributed to the synergistic effect of Pt surface plasmon resonance and Bi2WO6-WO3heterojunction structure.
And the enclosure of the hysteresis loop appeared at P/P0 about 0.45, indicating that the as-synthesized samples were mesoporous structures [15].
It reveals that both powders consist of agglomerates and exhibits sheet-like structure which may be rendered by the effect of CTAB soft template.
It is clear Bi2WO6-WO3 displays higher activity than that of pure Bi2WO6 and WO3, which may be ascribed to the heterojunction structure.

According to the XRD patterns presented in Fig. 1, it is evident that the phase structure changes from calcium sulfate dihydrate's hexagonal structure (DH) (PDF# 96-210-5042) in FGD gypsum to calcium sulfate hemihydrate's monoclinic structure (HH) (PDF# 96-901-2209) in obtained products.
The size of solid particles without CuCl2 and FGD gypsum particles (Fig. 3(a) and 3(b)) was uneven and exhibited flake-like structures.
The lengths and diameters of FGD gypsum to alpha-HH were significantly influenced by varying dosages of CuCl2, leading to minor distortions in the atomic positions of the monoclinic structure.
Adding 0.6 g CuCl2 can noticeably influence the phase structure, particle morphology, and physical and mechanical properties of the resultant plasters.

But nitric acid oxidation treatment does not change the bulk structure of carbon fibers.
But the structure parameters of carbon fibers have some differences which are due to the change of the surface structure.
This suggests that the entire structure of carbon fiber disordered with increasing the oxide time.

Abstract.
Between x = 0.9 and 1.7, the substitution resulted in continued decrease of Fe3+(B) ions and the structure got fully transformed into a normal spinel configuration during x = 1.8 to 2.0.
The cubic structure consisting of eight octants will have the neighboring ones with X and Y ions besides their coordinated oxygen ions.
In the unit cell of a normal spinel structure, there are eight X ions occupying the tetrahedral or A-sites and sixteen Y ions at the octahedral or B-sites.

Recently, nano-structured material as more fine admixtures is applied extensively to many common building materials, whose main hydrate C-S-H gel is a natural nano-structured material [6].
As is known to all, the nano-structured material has a higher specific surface area than cement particles, so nano-structured material will adsorbed more water compared to the same amount cement particles.
Hydration products with similar structure are easy to grow on it.

The development of the improved catalytic performance and low-cost catalyst with amorphous structure is believed to strongly promote the practical application of hydrous hydrazine as a hydrogen storage material.
Therefore, amorphous catalysts have much higher availability than crystalline ones during catalytic reactions, which leads to the superior catalytic performances of amorphous structures.

In this case, the structure of the sample with Ce may be described to be NiCoPt/Ce2O3 amorphous nanocomposite.
We can reasonably conclude that the Ni8.1Co1.0Pt0.9/Ce2O3 with higher degree of amorphization because of the addition of Ce2O3 into the superfine structure of Ni8.1Co1.0Pt0.9.
