Three-dimensional mixers with non-planar microchannels in a monolithic glass substrate using oblique powder blasting

Martinus Gijs, Abdeljalil Sayah, Virendra Kumar Parashar

We present three-dimensional (3D) micromixers realized in a monolithic glass substrate using a simple oblique powder-blasting microfabrication method and a single photosensitive elastomeric mask. The mixer topology consists of a curved microchannel that in ...

High temperature mechanical spectroscopy of yttria stabilized zirconia reinforced with carbon nanotubes

Daniele Mari, Robert Schaller, Mehdi Mazaheri

High temperature mechanical properties of zirconia reinforced with carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) are studied by mechanical spectroscopy. CNTs limit zirconia grain-boundary sliding (GBS) and consequently deformation. Concurrent grain-growth and plastic deformatio ...

Enhanced electrical conductivity of ultrafine-grained 8Y(2)O(3) stabilized ZrO2 produced by two-step sintering technique

Mehdi Mazaheri

Two-step sintering of nanocrystalline zirconia powder stabilized with 8 mol% yttria resulted in remarkable enhancement of the electrical conductivity and significant suppression of the accelerated grain growth. The electrical conductivity of the nearly ful ...

Calcium phosphate cement augmentation of cancellous bone screws can compensate for the absence of cortical fixation

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Vincent Stadelmann

An obvious means to improve the fixation of a cancellous bone screw is to augment the surrounding bone with cement. Previous studies have shown that bone augmentation with Calcium Phosphate (CaP) cement significantly improves screw fixation. Nevertheless, ...

PFM investigation of stress induced ferroelastic switching in piezoelectric bulk ceramics

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Tomas Sluka, Enrico Colla, Mahamudu Mtebwa

Stress induced ferroelastic switching may represent an efficient toughening mechanism in piezoelectric-ferroelectric ceramics. During the crack propagation, the high tensional stresses at the crack tip can be partially released by the reorientation of 90 d ...

The grinding tip of the sea urchin tooth exhibits exquisite control over calcite crystal orientation and Mg distribution

Anders Meibom

The sea urchin tooth is a remarkable grinding tool. Even though the tooth is composed almost entirely of calcite, it is used to grind holes into a rocky substrate itself often composed of calcite. Here, we use 3 complementary high-resolution tools to probe ...

Simulation of volume changes of cement paste at early age

Karen Scrivener, Amor Guidoum, Ines Jaouadi

The evolution of early age mechanical properties and volume change of cement paste is performed through Finite Element analysis on a 3D computer-generated cement paste. The time evolution of the hydrating microstructure is generated by μic(mike), a vectori ...

Electrophoretic deposition of multi-scale structured TiO2 surfaces

The long term fixation of biomedical implants constitutes an issue in the clinical praxis. Implant fixation can be improved by functionalizing its surface. In fact, the tissue response around an implant is conditioned by its surface morphological and chemi ...

High-temperature mechanical loss and creep behavior of fine-grained zirconia-containing nano-sized reinforcements

Robert Schaller, Claudia Ionascu

Polycrystalline zirconia (3Y-TZP grade) specimens unreinforced and reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) or silicon carbide whiskers (SiCws) were processed by powder metallurgy and studied by mechanical spectroscopy. The high-temperature me ...

Experimental and numerical investigations on the fluid contribution to the tensile-compressive mechanical behavior of the bovine periodontal ligament

Marzio Bergomi

Orthodontic treatments are all based on the experimental evidence that teeth can be forced to move in the dental arch by means of applied mechanical forces. Since it allows for prediction of dental mobility, the mechanical characterization of the tissues i ...
