In present study, the potential of Niobium (Nb) to improve the mechanical properties of Quenched and Partitioning (Q&P) steels is investigated. To this purpose, the effect of the addition of Nb on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a Q&P steel was thoroughly analysed with special attention on the thermal stability of the retained auste...

This study assesses thermal and morphological stabilization of three compatibilizers during mechanical recycling of polymer blends. Polypropylene/poly(ethylene terephthalate) blends compatibilized with three different maleic anhydride grafted compatibilizers were extruded five times via single-screw extrusion. The backbones of the compatibilizers a...

Traditional methods to track the reactivity of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and their contribution to the hydration mechanism mostly use Portland Cement (PC) as an activator. Alternatively, a novel method to assess the reactivity of SCMs called R-3 was recently presented. This novel method uses lab grade chemicals such as portlandite...

Improvement of the hot stamping process is important for reducing processing costs and improving the productivity and tensile properties of final components. One major approach to this has been to conduct all or part of the process at lower temperatures. The present paper reviews the state of the art of hot stamping techniques and their application...

Immediate implant placement holds considerable value, yet primary implant stability is often a critical factor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability, volumetric viability, and buccal gap size of reverse tapered body shift (RTBS) implants after immediate placement. Peak insertion torque measurements of two RTBS designs (apical 40% vs....

Microstructural evolution during hot forming of aluminium alloys plays a critical role in both the material flow behaviour during the deformation and the post-form mechanical properties in service. This paper presents a comprehensive review on the recrystallisation mechanisms, the interrelations between microstructures and macroscopic responses, an...

In many fused filament fabrication (FFF) processes, commercial printers are used, but rarely are printer settings transferred from one commercial printer to the other to give similar final tensile part performance. Here, we report such translation going from the Felix 3.0 to Prusa i3 MK3 printer by adjusting the flow rate and overlap of strands, ut...

A resin nanocomposite embedded by encapsulated nanoparticles with exceptional mechanical and lubrication properties is reported. The functional encapsulated nanoparticles, synthesized by miniemulsion co-polymerization of methyl methacrylate with n-butyl acrylate, styrene and glycidyl methacrylate, had tunable glass transition temperatures and surfa...
