Lubricant-hard-ductile composite coating compositions and methods of making the same are provided. In embodiment, a composite coating composition comprises: a lubricant phase for providing lubrication to a surface; a hard ceramic phase for providing structural integrity and wear resistance to the surface; and a ductile metal phase for providing ductility to the surface.

Lubricant-hard-ductile nanocomposite coatings and methods of making

Disclosed herein is a magnetic paste that generally includes a magnetic component and a liquid organic component. The magnetic component includes a plurality of discrete nanoparticles, a plurality of nanoparticle-containing assemblies, or both. Magnetic devices can be formed from the magnetic paste. Methods of making and using the magnetic paste are also described.

Magnetic composites and methods of making and using

Methods of making unique water treatment compositions are provided. In one embodiment, a method of making a doped metal oxide or hydroxide for treating water comprises: disposing a metal precursor solution and a dopant precursor solution in a reaction vessel comprising water to form a slurry; and precipitating the doped metal oxide or hydroxide from the slurry.

Methods of making water treatment compositions

A water treatment composition includes an oxidizing component and an adsorbing component, wherein one or both of the oxidizing component and adsorbing component comprise nanostructured materials. The water treatment compositions are useful in at least partially removing contaminants such as metallic or cationic arsenic, lead, chromium, and/or mercury from water.
