Angled microfiber arrays as low-modulus, low Poisson's ratio compliant substrates

This paper presents a novel fabrication method for producing high-aspect-ratio, angled polymer microfiber arrays by directional pulling of polyethylene from low-aspect-ratio, microporous polycarbonate templates. These arrays represent a novel substrate for ...

Hydrophobic Meshes for Oil Spill Recovery Devices

Francesco Stellacci

Widespread use of petrochemicals often leads to accidental releases in aquatic environments, occasionally with disastrous results. We have developed a hydrophobic and oleophilic mesh that separates oil from water continuously in situ via capillary action, ...

Loss of tensile strength in cellulose tissue on the surface of spruce (Picea abies) caused by natural photodegradation and delignification

John Christopher Plummer

Photodegradation of wood leads to discolouration and delignification, inducing damage to the cellular structure. This study is an investigation of the damage and loss of tensile strength of the cellulose fibres in spruce (Picea abies). Microtensile tests i ...

A theoretical quantification of the possible improvement in the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube bundles by carbon ion irradiation

William Curtin

Improvement of single wall carbon nanotube (CNT) bundle mechanical properties through carbon ion irradiation is investigated using molecular dynamics. Increased inter-tube shear and toughness properties through formation of inter-tube cross-links is balanc ...

Effect of temperature on the microstructure of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H)

Karen Scrivener, Xiuwei Zhang, Emmanuel Gallucci

Temperature affects the properties of concrete through its effect on the hydration of cement and its associated microstructural development. This paper focuses on the modifications to C-S-H induced by isothermal curing between 5 and 60 degrees C. The resul ...

UV-cured Epoxy for Adhesion in Steel Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites

Basile Golaz

This work addresses the development of composite materials that contain metallic load-bearing cords with the aim of combining outstanding mechanical performance with added functionality, including electrical conductivity, data transmission, and temperature ...

Importance of polyethylene thickness in total shoulder arthroplasty: A finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Vittoria Brighenti

Background: Articular surfaces reconstruction is essential in total shoulder arthroplasty. Because of the limited glenoid bone support, thin glenoid component could improve anatomical reconstruction, but adverse mechanical effects might appear. Methods: Wi ...

Two series of oxide precursors for perovskite-type (La,Ca)Ti(O,N)(3) were prepared by adding Ca2+ to A-site deficient LaTiO3.5 heterogeneously (Ca2+-backfilling) or by substituting Ca2+ for La3+ in stoichiometric LaTiO3.5 homogeneously (Ca2+-substitution). ...
