Fabrication of sensors and micro-fluidic structures from low temperature co- fired ceramic (LTCC) sheets is a growing interest in the micro-packaging community. Such devices usually have inner cavities, whose production is quite complicated. The most elega ...
Recently electrically conducting SPM probes were used as read/write sensor of magneto-resistive nanopillars and ferroelectric domains in the development of >1 Tb/inch2 data storage. Since metal coated (platinum (Pt) or Pt/iridium) silicon (Si) probes are n ...
Ultra high performance concretes (UHPFRC) are characterized by a dense matrix and a high fibre content. These materials exhibit exceptional mechanical and durability properties making them an ideal material for rehabilitating existing structures. The prima ...
The mechanical properties of high volume fraction SiC-particle reinforced Al-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) produced by means of pressurized liquid metal infiltration (squeeze casting) are shown to be triggered by matrix alloying and heat treatment p ...
The aims of the preliminary study reported in this document were twofold. Firstly, within the context of the application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures, to identify the phenomena that require further study with respect t ...

Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) combine outstanding protective (extremely low permeability) and mechanical (high tensile strength and significant tensile strain hardening) properties. These materials can be used in composite UHPF ...
The rheological behavior of a solidifying alloy is modeled by considering the deforming material as a viscoplastic porous medium saturated with liquid. Since the solid grains in the mush do not form a fully cohesive skeleton, an internal variable that repr ...
Hot cracking is a spontaneous failure of an alloy during solidification. It is a severe problem for casting industry as it reduces the productivity of cast houses and limits the range of alloys compositions that can be industrially produced. Hot tears occu ...
We present the fabrication and characterization of hybrid SPM probes with full platinum (Pt) cantilever and tip for biological SPM experiments. In recent years, SPM has shown its value in imaging and characterizing biological samples. Classic SPM sensors f ...
