Electroplating processes are widely employed in industrial environments for a large variety of metallic coatings, ranging from technological to decorative applications. Even if the galvanic electrodeposition is certainly a mature technology, new concepts, novel applications, environmental legislation and the new material requirements for next-generation devices make the scientific research in this field still very active. This review focuses mostly at the decorative and wearable applications, and aims to create a bridge between the past knowledge and the future direction that this process, i.e., electrodeposition, is taking. Both the theoretical fundamentals as well as some of the most widespread practical applications—limited to metallic and alloy coatings—are explored. As an integral part of the industrial process, we take a look at the main techniques thought which the quality control of deposits and surfaces is carried out. Finally, global industrial performance and research directions towards sustainable solutions are highlighted.

We report on the N-decoration of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) via chemical functionalization under mild reaction conditions. The introduction of tailored pyridinic functionalities as N-containing edge-type group mimics generates effective catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in an alkaline environment. The adopted methodology lists a number of remarkable technical advantages, among which is an easy tuning of the electronic properties of N-containing groups. The latter aspect further increases the level of complexity for the rationalization of the role of the N-functionalities on the ultimate electrochemical performance of the as-prepared metal-free catalysts. Electrochemical outcomes crossed with the computed electronic charge density distributions on each scrutinized pyridine group have evidenced the central role played by the N-chemical environment on the final catalyst performance. Notably, small variations of the atomic charges on the N-proximal carbon atoms of the chemically grafted heterocycles change the overpotential values at which the oxygen reduction reaction starts. The protocol described hereafter offers an excellent basis for the development of more active metal-free electrocatalysts for the ORR. Finally, the as-prepared catalytically active materials represent a unique model for the in-depth understanding of the underlying ORR mechanism.

Data from the Italian Hemophilia Centres were collected to perform a retrospective survey of joint arthroplasty in patients with severe hemophilia. Twenty-nine of 49 hemophilia centers reported that 328 of the 347 operations were carried out in 253 patients with severe hemophilia A (HA) and 19 in 15 patients with severe hemophilia B (HB). When results were normalized to the whole Italian hemophilia population (1770 severe HA and 319 severe HB), patients with HA had a 3-fold higher risk of undergoing joint arthroplasty (odds ratio [OR], 3.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.97-5.77; P < .001). These results were confirmed after adjustment for age, HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and inhibitor in a Cox regression model (HR, 2.65; 95% CI, 1.62-4.33; P < .001). The survival analysis of time to joint arthroplasty in the subset of patients with severe HA was not affected by the severity of factor VIII (FVIII) gene mutations. A systematic review of literature articles reporting joint arthroplasties in HA and HB showed that the proportion of HA patients who had undergone arthroplasties was higher than that of HB patients, in agreement with the findings in our Italian cohort. These data suggest that the 2 inherited coagulation disorders have a different severity of clinical phenotype.
