Controlling Mesopore Size and Processability of Transparent Enzyme-Loaded Silica Films for Biosensing Applications

Heinrich Hofmann, Oswaldo Javier Pérez Anguiano, Bernard Wenger, Raphaël Pugin, Emmanuel Scolan

Silica-based nanoporous thin films including large mesopores are relevant as enzyme supports for applications in biosensing. The diffusion and immobilization of large biomolecules such as enzymes in such porous films require the presence of large mesopores ...

On the micrometre precise mould filling of liquid polymer derived ceramic precursor for 300-µm-thick high aspect ratio ceramic MEMS

Jürgen Brugger, Rosario Maurizio Gullo, Jonas Grossenbacher

This paper describes a novel and scalable method for the fabrication of polymer derived ceramics (PDC) structures with high aspect ratio and micrometre scale features. Elastomeric micro-moulds composed of a filling pot are used to deliver via sacrificial m ...

Growth of Secondary Dendrite Arms of Fe C Alloy during Transient Directional Solidification by Phase-field Method

Jonathan Dantzig, Yu Xie

Due to the variations in the local solidification conditions in typical industrial casting processes, dendrites grow under transient rather than steady-state conditions. In this study, the phase-field method was used to study the evolution of secondary den ...

Formation of Elongated Fascicle-Inspired 3D Tissues Consisting of High-Density, Aligned Cells Using Sacrificial Outer Molding

Mahmut Selman Sakar

The majority of muscles, nerves, and tendons are composed of fiber-like fascicle morphology. Each fascicle has a) elongated cells highly aligned with the length of the construct, b) a high volumetric cell density, and c) a high length-to-width ratio with a ...

Interaction between liquid aluminium and solid iron Al-rich intermetallics formation

Guillaume Pasche

Intermetallic phases formation is one of the phenomena, which when coupled to thermal and mechanical strains leads to the premature wear of aluminium die casting tools made out of steel. This work focuses on two aspects of this wear problem. The first and ...

Heterogeneous material micro-transfer by ink-jet print assisted mould filling

Jürgen Brugger, Grégoire Maxime Smolik, Loïc Jacot-Descombes, Vaida Auzelyte

A novel combination of ink-jet printing (IJP) and micro-transfer moulding (μ-TM) for high-resolution, heterogeneous material microstructuring is demonstrated. First, IJP is used to accurately fill the micro-cavities in an elastomeric mould, thus avoiding t ...

Thermo-mechanical modeling of dendrite deformation in continuous casting of steel

Jean-Marie Drezet, Andreas Ludwig

In the field of modern steelmaking, continuous casting has become the major manufacturing process to handle a wide range of steel grades. An important criterion characterizing the quality of semi-finished cast products is the macrosegregation forming at th ...

Influence of SiC reinforcement particles on the tribocorrosion behaviour of Al-SiCp FGMs in 0.05M NaCl solution

Stefano Mischler

The main aim of this work was to study and understand the influence of SiC particles on the corrosion and tribocorrosion of Al-matrix composite materials. For that, Al-SiCp functionally graded composites were produced by centrifugal casting and different S ...
