The morphology and mechanical properties of polycaprolactone/clay nanocomposite films prepared by two techniques (casting: exfoliation-adsorption; intensive mixing: melt-intercalation) were studied. Casting, which is a l...

The integration of ultrasonic energy into polymer melt processing enables control of melt-state dynamics and microstructure evolution in thermoplastic systems. By superimposing high-frequency mechanical vibrations onto c...

Abstract Magnesium (Mg) alloys are the lightest metal structural material for engineering applications and therefore have a wide market of applications. However, compared to steel and aluminum alloys, Mg alloys have lowe...

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) technology has undergone rapid development in recent years. Owing to its advantages of high speed, efficiency, intelligence, and full flexibility, it exhibits significant potential for rea...

Abstract In recent years, the number of patients with orthopedic diseases such as cervical spondylosis has increased, resulting in an increase in the demand for orthopedic surgery. However, thermal necrosis and bone crac...

Abstract Creep is one of the most typical failure modes for the turbine blades of an aero-engine. The microstructure of the turbine blades after long-term service can be adjusted by rejuvenation heat treatment (RHT) to r...

Ricotta cheese was selected to develop a novel food product. Ricotta is easily obtained from the precipitation of whey and milk proteins, through the application of heat and acidification. This product is characterised b...

Abstract Current research on the fabrication of rolled composite plates primarily focuses on processing and bonding mechanisms. Compared with hot-rolling technology, the electrically assisted rolling process has demonstr...

Abstract Sustainable batteries necessitate high-performance hard carbon negative electrodes derived from abundant biomass. However, realizing their full potential is significantly limited by the inherent diversity of bio...

Abstract Bridge steel has been widely used in recent years for its excellent performance. Understanding the high-temperature Dynamic Recrystallization (DRX) behavior of high-performance bridge steel plays an important ro...

By codesigning a metaoptical front end in conjunction with an image-processing back end, we demonstrate noise sensitivity and compactness substantially superior to either an optics-only or a computation-only approach, il...

This study introduces fiber-assisted nanoparticle tracking analysis (FaNTA) as a platform for nanorheology that utilizes an advanced antiresonant optical fiber to analyze the viscoelastic properties of fluids at the nano...

Waterproof dam concrete’s permeability stability in goaf waterlogged environments critically impacts coal mine safety and groundwater sustainability. Underwater immersion, weak infiltration pathways are formed at the j...

Abstract Increasing demands for sustainable manufacturing are accelerating the need for efficient scrap reutilization routes that extend beyond conventional remelting practices. In this context, solid-state reuse of mach...

The advent of optically functional materials with low-intensive processing methods is accompanied by a growing need for high resolution imaging to probe the inherent inhomogeneities in the underlying microstructure. Atom...

The final properties of composite materials are highly dependent on the residual geometrical parameters (length, diameter, aspect ratio), orientation and distribution of the fibres in the matrix, which in turn are relate...

Abstract Because the grinding temperature is high when grinding using conventional disordered grinding wheels, the grinding quality improvement is limited when using single abrasive ordered grinding wheels, and the wheel...
