Design, fabrication, and characterization of a composite scaffold for bone tissue engineering

Melody Swartz, Alice Anna Tomei, Federica Boschetti

Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffolds have been successfully used in bone tissue engineering, with or without hydroxyapatite (HA) and with a macroporosity given either by simple PLGA sphere packaging and/or by leaching out NaCI. The objective of this ...

Surface and Mirror Twin Grain Boundary Segregation in Nd:YAG: An Atomistic Simulation Study

Paul Bowen, Ulrich Aschauer

Ceramic lasers have advantages such as better optical homogeneity, cheaper production, and more freedom in shape compared with monocrystalline lasers. However, equal or better laser performances are required. Interface segregation is important as ceramics ...

Progressive failure process of adhesively bonded joints composed of pultruded GFRP

Thomas Keller, Ye Zhang

Adhesively bonded joints are being used increasingly in civil engineering structures, especially for joints comprising pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates. The layered material architecture, however, leads to a complex delamination fa ...

Interfacial intermetallic growth and strength of composite lead-free solder alloy through isothermal aging

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Venkatesh Sivasubramaniam

The effects of particle reinforcement of Sn-4.0wt.%Ag-0.5wt.%Cu (SAC405) lead-free solder on interfacial intermetallic layer growth and strength of the ensuing joints through short-term isothermal aging (150 degrees C) were studied. Composite solders were ...

Thermal stress relaxation in magnesium matrix composites studied by mechanical spectroscopy

Daniele Mari, Robert Schaller, Abu Salek Md. Fahim Chowdhury

Thermal stress relaxtion at the interfaces in magnesium matrix composite has been studied by mechanical spectroscopy. Two specimens were processed by a gas pressure infiltration method. In one sample, the metallic matrix was unidirectionally oriented with ...

Direct measurement of drainage curves in infiltration of SiC particle preforms

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maryam Bahraini Hasani

Drainage curves (plots of the non-wetting fluid saturation versus applied pressure) for infiltration of SiC particle preforms with Al and Al-12.2 at.% Si are measured at 1023 K (750 degrees C) with a pressure infiltration apparatus adapted for direct track ...

Composites and methods for their production

Yves Leterrier, John Christopher Plummer, Marlene Rodlert

Intercalates and exfoliates formed from layered materials and dendritic polymers are disclosed, together with the uses of these materials, e.g. in producing composite materials. The dispersion of layered materials in a dendritic polymer matrix (hyperbranch ...

Thalamic nuclei clustering on High Angular Resolution Diffusion Images

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Reto Meuli, Patric Hagmann, Leila Cammoun, Azzurra Grassi

Thalamic nuclei can be distinguished by their characteristic fiber orientations, which influence the diffusion. Fiber orientations are relatively aligned within a nucleus due to the fact that the cerebrocortical striations within a nucleus all target the s ...
